A method of forming a semiconductor device using shallow trench isolation, includes forming a trench within a semiconductor substrate and forming a screen dielectric stack outwardly from the semiconductor substrate. The screen dielectric stack includes a first sacrificial dielectric layer disposed outwardly from the semiconductor substrate and a second sacrificial dielectric layer disposed outwardly from and in contact with the first sacrificial dielectric layer. In one embodiment, the first sacrificial dielectric layer is formed before forming the trench and the second sacrificial dielectric layer is formed after forming the trench.

A method for forming STI that allows for in-situ moat/trench width electrical measurement is disclosed herein. A conductive layer (18) is used in the hard mask (20) for trench etch. After the hard mask (20) is formed and the trench (12) is etched, the resistance of the conductive layer (18) is measured over a predefined length. Since the length is known, the average width of the hard mask (20)/moat (11) can be determined. Once the width of the moat (11) is known, the width of the trench (12) can easily be determined by subtracting the width of the moat (12) from the pitch, which is a known factor.

An n-type isolation structure is disclosed which includes an n-type BISO layer in combination with a shallow n-well, in an IC. The n-type BISO layer is formed by implanting n-type dopants into a p-type IC substrate in addition to a conventional n-type buried layer (NBL), prior to growth of a p-type epitaxial layer. The n-type dopants in the BISO implanted layer diffuse upward from the p-type substrate to between one-third and two-thirds of the thickness of the p-type epitaxial layer. The shallow n-type well extends from a top surface of the p-type epitaxial layer to the n-type BISO layer, forming a continuous n-type isolation structure from the top surface of the p-type epitaxial layer to the p-type substrate. The width of the n-type BISO layer may be less than the thickness of the epitaxial layer, and may be used alone or with the NBL to isolate components in the IC.
