Abstract : Shallow trench isolation techniques are disclosed in which a nitride layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a trench is formed through the nitride layer and into the semiconductor substrate. The nitride layer is removed prior to filling the isolation trench, and the fill material is planarized using a fixed-abrasive CMP process to mitigate or avoid step height in the shallow trench isolation process.
