Abstract: The disclosed method provides a solution to the gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current in a semiconductor structure. The method includes forming a first trench with a first initial doped region at its bottom, oxidizing the first trench, forming a first oxide layer on the sidewalls of the first trench, and forming a second oxide layer at the bottom of the first trench. The first oxide layer's thickness is greater than the second oxide layer's thickness. The doping element of the first initial doped region prolongs the reduction rate, so that the oxidation rate of the first initial doped region is lower than the oxidation rate of the substrate, thereby forming the first oxide layer. The GIDL of the semiconductor structure can be reduced, the turn-on sensitivity of the semiconductor structure can be improved, and the yield of the semiconductor structure can be increased.
