A method for forming a trench isolation structure and a semiconductor device are provided. The method comprises the following steps: forming a patterned mask on a semiconductor substrate; defining a trench with a predetermined depth D by using the patterned mask, wherein the trench has a bottom and a side wall; forming a liner layer covering the bottom and the side wall of the trench; substantially filling the trench with a flowable oxide from the bottom to a thickness d1 to form an oxide layer; forming a barrier layer with a thickness d′ to cover and completely seal the surface of the oxide layer, wherein d′

A method for forming micro-patterns is disclosed. The method forms a sacrificial layer and a mask layer. A plurality of first taper trenches is formed in the sacrificial layer. A photoresist layer is filled in the plurality of first taper trenches. The photoresist layer is used as a mask and a plurality of second taper trenches is formed in the sacrificial layer. Then, the photoresist layer is stripped to be capable of patterning a layer by the first taper trenches and the second taper trenches in the sacrificial layer. Therefore, a patterned sacrificial layer duplicating the line density by double etching is formed.

An isolation method of active area for semiconductor forms an isolated active area in a substrate. The substrate is a p-type silicon substrate. A pad oxide layer is formed on the substrate. A patterned sacrificial layer and an upper mask layer are formed on the pad oxide layer, where the upper mask layer is formed over the isolation region of the substrate. A gap is formed between the patterned sacrificial layer and the upper mask layer. An implantation process is performed to dope ions into the substrate through the gap, which forms an n-type barrier to surround the active areas. Lastly, the patterned sacrificial layer is stripped, and an anodization process is utilized to convert p-type bulk silicon into porous silicon. Then, an oxidation process is performed to oxidize the porous silicon to form a silicon dioxide isolation region for the active areas.
