Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a method for forming an isolated film on a semiconductor device in the shape of a cylinder to shorten the heat treatment process and to prevent a micro-loading effect of filling of a field-isolated oxide film. The method comprises the step of forming a deep, narrow groove, then filling up the groove with an oxide film, and then oxidizing a polysilicon layer encircled by the groove to form an isolated film in the shape of a cylinder.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 53 words
A method for forming an isolated film on a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: forming a deep and narrow cylindrical groove in a substrate; filling up the groove with an oxide film, and oxidizing a polysilicon layer encircled by the groove, thereby forming an isolated film in the shape of a cylinder.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 53 words
A method for forming an isolated film on a semiconductor device comprising the steps of: forming a deep and narrow cylindrical groove in a substrate; filling up the groove with an oxide film, and oxidizing a polysilicon layer encircled by the groove, thereby forming an isolated film in the shape of a cylinder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 137 words
In the method for forming an isolated film on a semiconductor device according to claim 1, the steps of: forming a pad oxide film and a nitride film on the substrate in that order; forming a mask window using a photoetching process, for depositing a polysilicon layer and for implanting field ions in the polysilicon layer; forming an insulated layer over the mask region for leveling the surface and then etching back the insulated layer to level the surface; etching said polysilicon layer and said substrate using a self-alignment method to form a deep cylindrical groove within said substrate; forming a CVD oxide film into said groove and over the polysilicon layer and etching it back by using a dry etching method to expose said polysilicon layer; and oxidizing said polysilicon layer to remove said nitride film.
