현재 적용하고 있는 얕은 트렌치 소자분리방법(STI; Shallow Trench Isolation)는 모우트(Moat)부근에서 게이트산화막이 얇아져서 드레인전류-게이트 전압(Id-Vg)상에서의 험프(Hump) 및 게이트산화막의 특성 열화가 생길 수 있는 소지가 많다.Shallow Trench Isolation (STI), which is currently applied, is characterized by the characteristics of Hump and gate oxide on drain current-gate voltage (Id-Vg) due to thinning of gate oxide near moat. There is a lot of potential for deterioration.
그래서, 모우트(Moat)부근에서 게이트산화막이 얇아지는 문제를 개선함 으로써 위에서 언급한 문제들이 생길 소지를 없앨 수 있으므로 얕은 트렌치소자 분리(STI) 공정을 이용하는 모든 반도체에 적용할 수 있다.Therefore, the problem of the above-mentioned problems can be eliminated by improving the problem of thinning the gate oxide film near the moat, so that it can be applied to all semiconductors using a shallow trench isolation (STI) process.
이러한 관점에서, 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 소자분리막 형성방법을 도 1 내지 2를 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.In this regard, the method of forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device according to the prior art will be described with reference to FIGS.
도 1 내지 도 2는 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 소자분리막 형성방법을 설명하기 위한 공정단면도이다.1 to 2 are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a device isolation film of a semiconductor device according to the prior art.
도 3은 종래기술에 따른 반도체소자의 소자분리막에 있어서의 드레인전류- 게이트전압((Id-Vg)간의 험프특성을 나타낸 그래프이다.3 is a graph showing hump characteristics between the drain current and the gate voltage (Id-Vg) in a device isolation film of a semiconductor device according to the prior art.

이어서, 상기 패드질화막(3)상에 트렌치마스크용 감광막패턴(미도시)을 형성하고, 이를 마스크로 상기 패드질화막(3)과 패드산화막(2) 및 반도체기판(1)을 선택적으로 패터닝하여 상기 반도체기판(1)내에 트렌치(4)를 형성한다.Subsequently, a trench mask photoresist pattern (not shown) is formed on the pad nitride layer 3, and the pad nitride layer 3, the pad oxide layer 2, and the semiconductor substrate 1 are selectively patterned using the mask. The trench 4 is formed in the semiconductor substrate 1.
그다음, 상기 감광막패턴(미도시)을 제거하고, 상기 트렌치(4)의 바닥 및 측면에 측벽산화막(5)와 선형산화막(6)을 형성한다.Next, the photoresist pattern (not shown) is removed and sidewall oxide film 5 and linear oxide film 6 are formed on the bottom and side surfaces of the trench 4.
