Abstract

A structure having a shallow trench-deep trench isolation region for a semiconductor device is provided.

Claims (25)

1. A trench structure in a semiconductor substrate, comprising:

a silicon oxide filled shallow trench located in a first portion of the semiconductor substrate and having a depth ranging between about 1100 Angstroms and about 2000 Angstroms;

a deep trench located in the insulator filled shallow trench and extending into an underlying second portion of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the deep trench has a depth ranging between about 4 um and about 10 um and a diameter ranging between about 0.5 um and about 1.6 um;

a channel stop region located in a third portion of the semiconductor substrate that is directly underlying the deep trench;

insulator sidewalls located on sides of a bottom portion of the deep trench;

a polysilicon region located in the bottom portion of the deep trench and interfacing the insulator sidewalls; and

a insulator located in a top portion of the deep trench and overlying the polysilicon region, wherein sides of the insulator interface the insulator filled shallow trench, and wherein the insulator comprises silicon oxide.

2. A trench structure in a semiconductor substrate, comprising:

a silicon oxide filled shallow trench located in a first portion of the semiconductor substrate and having a depth ranging between about 1100 Angstroms and about 2000 Angstroms; and

a deep trench located in the insulator filled shallow trench and extending into an underlying second portion of the semiconductor substrate, wherein the deep trench has a depth ranging between about 4 um and about 10 um and a diameter ranging between about 0.5 um and about 1.6 um.

3. The trench structure of claim 2 further comprising a channel stop region located in a third portion of the semiconductor substrate that is directly underlying the deep trench.

4. The trench structure of claim 3 further comprising insulator sidewalls located on sides of a bottom portion of the deep trench.

5. The trench structure of claim 4 further comprising a conductive region located in the bottom portion of the deep trench and interfacing the insulator sidewalls.

6. The trench structure of claim 5 wherein the conductive region is recessed to a depth ranging between about 1000 Angstroms and about 5000 Angstroms below the top surface of the insulator filled shallow trench shape.

7. The trench structure of claim 5 further comprising an insulator layer located in a top portion of the deep trench and overlying the conductive region, wherein sides of the insulator layer interface the insulator filled shallow trench.

8. The trench structure of claim 7 wherein the insulator layer comprises silicon dioxide.

9. The trench structure of claim 7 wherein the insulator layer has a thickness ranging between about 50 Angstroms and about 1000 Angstroms.

10. The trench structure of claim 7 wherein the insulator layer has a smooth top surface topography.

11. The trench structure of claim 2 wherein a region located in a third portion of the semiconductor substrate that is directly underlying the bottom of the deep trench shape is a P type channel stop region.

12. The trench structure of claim 2 further comprising:

a channel stop region located in a third portion of the semiconductor substrate that is directly underlying the deep trench;

insulator sidewalls located on sides of a bottom portion of the deep trench;

a conductive region located in the bottom portion of the deep trench and interfacing the insulator sidewalls, wherein the conductive region is recessed to a depth ranging between about 1000 Angstroms and about 5000 Angstroms below the top surface of the insulator filled shallow trench shape; and
