Abstract

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes etching a substrate to form a plurality of first trenches and a plurality of second trenches performed at an electrostatic chuck (ESC) temperature between about 90° C. to 120° C. in the substrate, wherein each trench of the plurality of first trenches extends downward from the substrate major surface to a first height, and each trench of the plurality of second trenches extends downward from the substrate major surface to a second height greater than the first height. The method includes forming a first isolation structure in each of the plurality of first trenches. The method includes forming a second isolation structure in each of the plurality of second trenches, wherein a difference between a height of the first isolation structure and the first height equals a difference between a height of the second isolation structure and the second height.
