Abstract

A method of fabricating an isolation structure of a semiconductor device includes the following steps. Firstly, a substrate including a first surface and a second surface is provided. At least one trench is formed in the first surface of the substrate. The trench has a sidewall and a bottom surface. Then, a first chemical vapor deposition process is performed to form a first isolation layer on the first surface of the substrate and the sidewall and the bottom surface of the trench. Then, an anisotropic surface treatment process is performed, so that a surface of the first isolation layer has differential surface chemical properties. Afterwards, a second chemical vapor deposition process is performed to form a second isolation layer on the first isolation layer with a surface having differential surface chemical properties.
