The first isolation layer 3 is mainly used to cover the surface of the recess 2, thereby isolating the substrate 1 from the sacrificial layer 4, and further, the material of the first isolation layer 3 is preferably silicon dioxide, silicon carbide or silicon nitride.
S3, filling the whole groove with the sacrificial layer 4, wherein the upper surface of the sacrificial layer 4 is flush with the upper surface of the substrate layer 1 or the upper surface of the first isolation layer 3 of the upper surface of the substrate layer 1, as shown in fig. 4. The material of the sacrificial layer is preferably polysilicon. A chemical mechanical polishing process or the like may be used to ensure that the upper surface of the sacrificial layer 4 is flush with the upper surface of the first isolation layer 3.
S4, depositing a second isolation layer 5 on the upper surface of the substrate filled with the sacrificial layer 4, as shown in fig. 5.
