  • Patent number: 7696075
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a recess channel structure is provided. A first recess is formed in a substrate. A liner and a filling layer are formed in the first recess. A portion of the substrate adjacent to the first recess and a portion of the liner and the filling layer are removed to form trenches. An insulation layer fills the trenches to form isolation structures. The filling layer is removed, using the liner as an etching stop layer, to expose the insulation layer. A portion of the exposed insulation layer is removed to form a second recess having divots adjacent to the sidewalls of the substrate. The liner is removed. A dielectric layer and a gate are formed over the substrate covering the second recess. Source and drain regions are formed in the substrate adjacent to the second recess.
