Abstract

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device is described. The method includes forming a hard mask over a semiconductor substrate. The hard mask is patterned to generate openings in the hard mask. Deep trenches are formed in the semiconductor substrate by etching through the openings in the hard mask. The openings in the hard mask are widened. A pre-filler side wall layer is formed over the widened openings of the hard mask and the side walls of the deep trenches. The pre-filler side wall layer is recessed down to at least a first depth in the semiconductor substrate. The deep trenches are filled with a filler material. A corresponding semiconductor device is also described.
