This invention provides a method for fabricating a
semiconductor structure and the
semiconductor structure itself, relating to the field of
semiconductor technology. The method for fabricating the
semiconductor structure includes the following steps: providing a substrate, the substrate comprising a substrate, a pad
oxide layer, a pad
nitride layer, and at least one trench, wherein the pad
oxide layer is formed on the surface of the substrate, the pad
nitride layer is formed on the surface of the pad
oxide layer, and the trench is disposed within the substrate, with an opening extending through the pad oxide layer and the pad
nitride layer at its upper part; forming a piezoelectric material layer at the bottom of the trench; filling the trench with an isolation oxide until the isolation oxide covers the trench and the pad nitride layer; applying an
electric field to the substrate in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate, and planarizing the isolation oxide under the action of the
electric field until the isolation oxide on the surface of the pad nitride layer is removed, and then removing the
electric field to obtain a
shallow trench isolation structure. The method for fabricating the
semiconductor structure of this invention can improve the dish-shaped depressions on the surface of the
shallow trench isolation structure and improve the yield of the
semiconductor structure.
