Abstract

This invention relates to a method for self-aligned fabricating an isolation structure of a trench capacitor. The method takes two steps to etch the substrate for forming the shallow trench of the isolation structure, wherein the conductive layer and the collar oxide layer of the trench capacitor remain intact during the etching processes.
