The invention relates to a
deep trench isolation structure and a preparation method thereof, and aims to solve the problems that the
height difference of an
etching stop layer is too large and the
processing precision of a
deep trench is insufficient in the prior art. According to the method, the sacrificial layer is deposited on the surface of the substrate after the shallow groove is machined, the sacrificial layer is used for protecting a non-target area in the deep groove
machining process, and high-precision
machining of the deep groove is achieved through the multi-stage
etching technology. In the first stage, sacrificial layer materials in a deep groove region are removed step by step, and a target region is exposed; and in the second stage, the
mask effect of the sacrificial layer is utilized to accurately etch to the target depth, and meanwhile, the side wall form is optimized. By reducing the
height difference of the
etching stop layer, the uniformity of the filling material is improved, and the smoothness of chemical mechanical
polishing is improved. The method has the functions of
mask protection and depth regulation and control, simplifies the process steps, reduces the manufacturing cost, is suitable for manufacturing high-density integrated circuits and power devices, and has excellent
processing effect and industrial applicability.
