Method for forming a filled trench in a semiconductor layer of a semiconductor substrate, and a semiconductor substrate with a semiconductor layer having a filled trench therein

A method for forming an isolation filled trench (25) in a silicon layer (21) of an SOI structure (20). The trench (25) is relieved adjacent its open mouth (30) in order to displace the commencement of bridging of the trench (25) with the filling material, to a level (36) well below a first surface (27) of the silicon layer (21) for in turn displacing voids (35) from the open mouth (30) into the trench (25) below the level (36). The trench may be relieved by forming tapered portions (40) in the side wells (29) adjacent the open mouth (30), and / or by relieving one or more lining layers (32) in the trench (25) adjacent the open mouth (30) to form tapered portion (52) and (53). Instead of relieving the trench (25) by tapering the side walls (29) relieving recesses may be formed into the first surface (27) of the silicon layer (21) adjacent the open mouth (30). By relieving the trench (25) or one or more of the lining layers (32) adjacent the open mouth (30) the commencement of bridging of the trench with the filling material is displaced downwardly to a level (36), which displaces voids formed in the trench below the level (36). By sufficiently relieving the trench (25) and / or lining layers (32) adjacent the open mouth to a sufficient depth the formation of voids in the trench may be completely avoided.

Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having multi-gate insulation layers and semiconductor devices fabricated thereby

Methods of fabricating a semiconductor device having multi-gate insulation layers and semiconductor devices fabricated thereby are provided. The method includes forming a pad insulation layer and an initial high voltage gate insulation layer on a first region and a second region of a semiconductor substrate respectively. The initial high voltage gate insulation layer is formed to be thicker than the pad insulation layer. A first isolation layer that penetrates the pad insulation layer and is buried in the semiconductor substrate is formed to define a first active region in the first region, and a second isolation layer that penetrates the initial high voltage gate insulation layer and is buried in the semiconductor substrate is formed to define a second active region in the second region. The pad insulation layer is then removed to expose the first active region. A low voltage gate insulation layer is formed on the exposed first active region. Accordingly, it can minimize a depth of recessed regions (dent regions) to be formed at edge regions of the first isolation layer during removal of the pad insulation layer, and it can prevent dent regions from being formed at edge regions of the second isolation layer.
