Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device having a trench gate is provided. First, a semiconductor substrate having a trench etch mask thereon is provided. The semiconductor substrate is etched to form a first trench having a first depth using the trench etch mask as a shield. Impurities are doped into the semiconductor substrate through the first trench to form a doped region. The doped region and the semiconductor substrate underlying the first trench are etched to form a second trench having a second depth greater than the first depth, wherein the second trench has a sidewall and a bottom. A gate insulating layer is formed on the sidewall and the bottom of the second trench. A trench gate is formed in the second trench.
