Please refer to Fig. 6, form the second insulation liner layer 204 in the lower surface of described opening 201.
In the present embodiment, because the material of described the first insulation liner layer 203 is silicon nitride, in order to make the hydrogen-oxygen key density of opening 201 lower surface higher than the hydrogen-oxygen key density on the first insulation liner layer 203 surfaces, the material of described the second insulation liner layer 204 is silica.
In the present embodiment, described Semiconductor substrate 200 surfaces have mask layer 202, the sidewall surfaces of described opening 201 has the first insulation liner layer 203, therefore only expose the Semiconductor substrate 200 of the bottom of described opening 201, therefore described the second insulation liner layer 204 can adopt thermal oxidation technology to form; The thickness of described the second insulation liner layer 204 is 20 dust~200 dusts.
