Among them, X A diagram is a top view, and X b and X ◦ diagrams are cross-sectional views along XX ′ and γγ, in XA diagram. First, as shown in FIGS. 9A, 9B, and 9C, a silicon substrate 40 is provided, and an oxide layer 41, a nitride layer 42, an oxide layer 43, and a nitride layer 44 are sequentially deposited on the stone evening substrate 40, and then etched. The deposited layers and the silicon substrate 40 form deep grooves 461 in the deep and stone substrate 40 as shallow trench isolation (STI). A lining oxide layer 45 is formed along the bottom and side walls of the groove 461, and the insulating oxide layer 46 is filled in the groove 461. Next, as shown in FIGS. 10A, 10B, and 10C, the etching step is used to move the nitride layer 44 and the oxide layer 43. When the oxide layer 43 is etched, the oxide layer 46 is also etched, so part of the oxide is oxidized. The sidewalls of layer 46 are removed at the same time. In this way, the oxide layer 46 is formed with a stepped sidewall on a cross section in the YY direction. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11A, 11B, and 11C, the etched layer 42 and the oxide layer 41 are removed by an etching step to form a recess 462 that exposes the surface of the active area silicon substrate 40 to complete a Shallow trench isolation structure with ladder-like sidewall oxide layer. Further, as shown in Figs. 12A, 12B, and 12C, a gate oxide layer 47 is formed on the surface of the exposed silicon substrate. A polycrystalline silicon layer 48 is deposited. Due to the stepped sidewalls of the oxide layer 46, the polycrystalline silicon layer 48 forms a "V" shaped depression over the groove 462. Next, as shown in FIGS. 13A, 13B, and 13C, the polycrystalline silicon layer 48 is etched back
