Abstract

A semiconductor device comprising a trench device isolation layer and a method for fabricating the semiconductor device are disclosed. The method comprises forming a plurality of first trenches on a first region of a semiconductor substrate, filling the first trenches with a first insulation material to form first device isolation layers, forming a plurality of second trenches on a second region of the semiconductor substrate, and filling the second trenches with a second insulation material different from the first insulation material to form second device isolation layers, wherein the first trenches and the second trenches are formed using different respective processes.
