A process for fabricating a VLSI device comprising trench isolation regions. The trench isolation regions of a VLSI device is fabricated by a process comprising the following steps: Depositing and patterning pad layers on a substrate to form active regions separated from pad-layer-covered regions; forming side walls at each active region to cover portions of the active region other than its central portion; depositing a first oxide at the space surrounded by the side walls and the central portion of the active region; removing the side walls to form trenches at the active region; and depositing a second oxide on the substrate to fill the trenches and cover the first oxide, the second oxide and the first oxide together forming an oxide trench isolation region.
