Abstract
A method for forming a shallow trench isolation includes providing a substrate with a trench, a first liner layer and a second liner layer sequentially in the trench with a first oxide filling the trench, performing a first wet etching to remove part of the first oxide and part of the first liner layer to expose the substrate, performing a second wet etching to remove part of the second liner layer so that the second liner layer is lower than surface of the substrate, performing a third wet etching to remove part of the first oxide and part of the first liner layer, and filling the trench with a second oxide to form a shallow trench isolation.
