Abstract
Provided are methods for fabricating a semiconductor device. The methods include forming a hard mask pattern on a semiconductor substrate, forming a first trench having a first width and a second trench having a second width on the semiconductor substrate using the hard mask pattern as a mask, forming an oxide film on the hard mask pattern and the first and second trenches, forming first and second isolation films on the first and second trenches by planarizing the oxide film until the hard mask pattern is exposed, and etching the first isolation film by a first thickness by performing dry cleaning on the semiconductor substrate and etching the second isolation film by a second thickness different from the first thickness.
