  • Patent number: 8012831
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention relates to a method of forming an isolation layer of a flash memory device. An isolation layer is formed using a PSZ-based material and a nitride film of liner form is deposited on a trench before the PSZ film is deposited. An oxide film can be prevented from remaining on a top of the sidewalls of a conductive film for a floating gate through an etch process employing the etch rate. The thickness of a dielectric film can be prevented from increasing when a dielectric film is deposited. Accordingly, the contact area of the floating gate and the dielectric film can be increased and the coupling ratio between the floating gate and the control gate can be improved.

  • Patent number: 7977205
    Abstract: A method of forming an isolation layer of a semiconductor device includes forming first trenches in an isolation region of a semiconductor substrate. Sidewalls and a bottom surface of each of the first trenches are oxidized by a radical oxidization process to form a first oxide layer. An oxidization-prevention spacer is formed on the sidewalls of each of the first trenches. Second trenches are formed in the isolation region below the corresponding first trenches, wherein each second trench is narrower and deeper than the corresponding first trench. The second trenches are filled with a second oxide layer. The first trenches are filled with an insulating layer.
