Abstract
A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes steps of forming at least one shallow-trench isolation region in a semiconductor substrate; forming a photoresist pattern for blocking a photodiode region; sequentially implanting dopant ions and boron ions into the at least one shallow-trench isolation region; and activating the implanted ions. Since germanium ions are implanted before implanting P-type ions in a channel-stop ion implantation process, the lattice structure of the surface of a shallow-trench isolation region is maintained, to thereby allow a deeper penetration of the implanted P-type ions (boron ions), and to prevent the P-type ions from being outwardly diffused according to an increased lattice scattering phenomenon generated upon a thermal process.
