Abstract
A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a substrate having a trench surrounding an active island of the substrate. The active island has a top surface, a sidewall, and an inclined surface connecting the top surface to the sidewall. The inclined surface is inclined relative to the top surface at a first angle. The sidewall is inclined relative to the top surface at a second angle. The first angle is greater than the second angle. The semiconductor device structure includes an isolation structure in the trench. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate insulating layer over the top surface and the inclined surface. The semiconductor device structure includes a gate over the gate insulating layer and the isolation structure. The gate crosses the active island.
