Abstract

A semiconductor structure and method for forming such a structure are disclosed by the present invention. In the method, before a first trench in a pre-processed substrate is filled with any filling material, an auxiliary layer is formed over an inner surface of the first trench. Afterward, a first filling dielectric is formed and an etch back process is performed so that a top surface of the first filling dielectric is higher than that of the pre-processed substrate, and a second filling dielectric is then formed and subject to a second planarization process.
