Following these, the first semiconductor layer is laterally etched, to partially remove the first semiconductor layer till exposing the turning portion of the trench. Finally, a second deposition is performed, to deposit a second semiconductor layer to fill up the trench.

Abstract: A method includes forming a stack of material layers to cover an array region and a periphery region of a substrate. A first patterned mask layer is formed, and the pattern of the first patterned mask layer is transferred to the stack of material layers, thereby forming a first array pattern and a first periphery pattern respectively in the array and periphery regions. A second patterned mask layer is provided above the first array and periphery patterns. The pattern of the second patterned mask is not aligned with the pattern of the first patterned mask. The pattern of the second patterned mask layer is transferred to form the first and second sacrificial patterns respectively in the array and periphery regions. The first array pattern, the first and second sacrificial patterns, and the first periphery pattern are simultaneously transferred to form a second array pattern and a second periphery pattern.
