Abstract
A method for forming an isolation structure of a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes forming a patterned dielectric structure in a first area and a second area of a substrate; forming a first isolation structure in the first area and forming a second isolation structure in the second area of the substrate; forming a cap layer over the first area and the second area of the substrate and performing an etching process to etch the cap layer of the second area completely; and performing an oxidation process on the second area to form a first oxide region over the second isolation structure and under the bottom surface of the patterned dielectric structure of the second area.
