Abstract

The present disclosure provides a manufacturing method of a semiconductor structure, including: an insulating layer includes a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer, a protective layer covers an upper surface of the second dielectric layer and a bottom and sidewalls of the first trench; removing part of the protective layer to expose at least part of a surface of the second dielectric layer; removing the second dielectric layer by a first wet etching process, the first wet etching process has a first etch selectivity of a material of the second dielectric layer to that of the first dielectric layer; and removing the protective layer by a second wet etching process, the second wet etching process has a second etch selectivity of a material of the protective layer to that of the first dielectric layer, and the second etch selectivity is greater than the first etch selectivity.
