Abstract

A method for forming a deep trench in a semiconductor device includes: forming a hard mask over a substrate, forming a hard mask pattern over the substrate through etching the hard mask to thereby expose an upper portion of the substrate, forming a first trench through a first etching the exposed substrate using a gas containing bromide and a gas containing chloride and forming a second trench through a second etching the first trench using of a gas containing sulfur and fluorine, wherein a depth of the second trench is deeper than a depth of the first trench.
