Abstract
A method for forming a bottle-shaped trench. A semiconductor substrate having a pad stack layer thereon and a trench in a predetermined position is provided. A first dielectric layer is then formed on the lower sidewalls of the trench. Next, a second dielectric layer is formed to cover the upper sidewalls of the trench and the pad stack layer. Then, a protection layer is formed on the sidewalls portions of the second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is then removed to expose the lower portion of trench. Wet stripping is then carried out to increase the radius of the lower portion of the trench thereby forming a bottle-shaped trench.
