Abstract

Disclosed are an isolation film of a semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same, which prevent the isolation film from being damaged due to misalignment when forming a contact hole in a region adjacent to the isolation film, to ensure stable effective isolation distance. The isolation film of a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a lower isolation film formed in the semiconductor substrate, and an upper isolation film formed on the lower isolation film, with a material having etching selectivity different from the lower isolation film.
