Abstract
In a semiconductor substrate, a method of forming a shallow isolation trench having a doped sidewall is disclosed. A shallow trench having nearly vertical walls is formed in the semiconductor substrate. A doped silicon layer is selectively grown on a sidewall and a portion of the bottom of the trench. The dopant from the silicon layer is then driven into the substrate by a suitable method such as annealing. The trench is subsequently filled with a dielectric material.
