    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a shallow trench isolation. First, a substrate is provided, a hard mask layer and a patterned photoresist layer are sequentially formed on the substrate, at least one trench is then formed in the substrate through an etching process, the hard mask layer is removed. Afterwards, a filler is formed at least in the trench and a planarization process is then performed on the filler. Since the planarization process is performed only on the filler, so the dishing phenomenon can effectively be avoided.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of forming an isolation structure, in which, a trench is formed in a substrate through a hard mask, and deposition, etch back, deposition, planarization, and etch back are performed in the order to form an isolation material layer of the isolation structure after the hard mask is removed. A silicon layer may be formed to cover the trench and original surface of the substrate before the former deposition, or to cover a part of the trench and original surface of the substrate after the former etch back and before the later deposition, to serve as a stop layer for the planarization process. Voids existing within the isolation material layer can be exposed or removed by partially etching the isolation material layer by the former etch back. The later deposition can be performed with a less aspect ratio to avoid forming voids.

    Abstract: A method of forming target patterns is disclosed. A substrate with multiple fins is provided. A plurality of mask patterns is formed across the fins and in at least a part of non-target areas. Target patterns are formed respectively in trenches between the mask patterns. The mask patterns are removed. With the disclosed method, the target patterns can be formed with substantially equal thickness. In the case that the target patterns are dummy gates, the conventional defects such as dummy gate residues or gate trench widening caused by uneven thicknesses are not observed upon the dummy gate removal step.
