A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and a device manufactured by the same are provided. According to the embodiment, a substrate having at least a first area with a plurality of first gates and a second area with a plurality of second gates is provided, wherein the adjacent first gates and the adjacent second gates separated by an insulation, and a top surface of the insulation has a plurality of recesses. Then, a capping layer is formed over the first gate, the second gates and the insulation, and filling the recesses. The capping layer is removed until reaching the top surface of the insulation, thereby forming the insulating depositions filling up the recesses, wherein the upper surfaces of the insulating depositions are substantially aligned with the top surface of the insulation.

A manufacturing method for a shallow trench isolation. First, a substrate is provided, a hard mask layer and a patterned photoresist layer are sequentially formed on the substrate, at least one trench is then formed in the substrate through an etching process, the hard mask layer is removed. Afterwards, a filler is formed at least in the trench and a planarization process is then performed on the filler. Since the planarization process is performed only on the filler, so the dishing phenomenon can effectively be avoided.
