Abstract

An isolation structure and method of forming the same. The isolation structure includes a first isolation structure having including an insulation layer formed in a trench in a substrate and a second isolation structure, formed on the first isolation structure. The second isolation structure includes a first impurity region formed in the substrate, the first impurity region having a first impurity doping concentration, and a second impurity region that is formed around the first impurity region, the second impurity region having a second impurity doping concentration that is greater than the first doping concentration.
