Abstract

A semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate, a first trench, and a second trench. The substrate has a first region and a second region. The first trench is formed in the substrate within the first region. The first trench is surrounded by a first protrusion structure having a top portion and sidewalls. The second trench is formed in the substrate within the second region. The second trench is surrounded by a second protrusion structure having a top portion and sidewalls. The second trench is deeper than the first trench. The connection portion between the top portion and the sidewalls of the second protrusion structure has a greater radius of curvature than the connection portion between the top portion and the sidewalls of the first protrusion structure.
