Abstract

A method for forming an isolation film of a semiconductor device is disclosed which includes forming trenches in a semiconductor substrate, forming a first HDP oxide film in the formed trenches, performing an etch-back process using a mixing gas of C2F6 gas and O2 gas to form vertical walls in the first HDP oxide films and forming a second HDP oxide film on the resulting structure. The characteristics of a device can be improved because diffusion of F ions in a FSG film formed on the first HDP oxide film is minimized.
