A method of manufacturing an isolation structure suitable for a non-volatile memory is provided. A substrate is provided. A dielectric layer, a conductive layer, and a hard mask layer are sequentially formed on the substrate. The hard mask layer and the conductive layer are patterned to form a first trench which exposes the dielectric layer. A first liner is formed on the substrate.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device is provided. Before covering the isolation structures with a conductive layer, a material layer is formed on the isolation structures. The fluid-like material layer allows the material layer formed between the isolation structures to be thicker than that formed on the top of the isolation structures. The isolation structures are then effectively etched back. The material layer at the top of the isolation structures is removed and a portion of isolation structures is also removed to lower the height of the isolation structures.

The dielectric layer is patterned to form an opening exposing the first conductive layer. After that, a second conductive layer is formed on the substrate. A portion of the second conductive layer outside the opening is removed to form a conductive line. As the size of the device is getting smaller, the size and the position accuracy of the conductive line would not be limited to the design rules of lithography if the present invention is applied. Therefore, a conductive line is formed to electrically connect semiconductor devices effectively.
