Disclosed is a method for forming a shallow trench. The method of the present invention comprises steps of providing a substrate; forming a plurality of operation layers on the substrate; forming photoresist on the uppermost one of the operation layers to define a position to be etched; etching a portion of the operation layers at said position to form an opening; forming a spacing layer on the sidewall of the opening; and etching a portion of the substrate corresponding to the opening to form a shallow trench. By the etching method of the present invention, a striation phenomenon caused by the common mask etch is avoided.

A semiconductor structure includes a matrix, an integrated circuit and a scribe line. The matrix includes a scribe line region and a circuit region. The integrated circuit is disposed within the circuit region. The scribe line is disposed within the scribe line region and includes a crack stop trench which is disposed in the matrix and adjacent to the circuit region. The crack stop trench is parallel with one side of the circuit region and filled with a composite material in a form of a grid to form a crack stop structure.

A method for fabricating interconnects is provided. The method comprises forming a conducting line on a first dielectric layer; forming a first liner layer on the surfaces of the first dielectric layer and the conducting line; forming a second liner layer on the first liner layer; forming a second dielectric layer on the second liner layer, wherein the etching selectivity rate of the second dielectric layer is higher than the etching selectivity rate of the second liner; and patterning the second dielectric layer to form a contact window opening through the second liner layer and the first liner layer to expose the surface of the conducting line. Because the second dielectric layer having an etching rate higher than the etching rate of the second liner layer, the second liner layer can be used as an etch stop layer while patterning the second dielectric layer.

A method of forming capacitors with geometric deep trenches. First, a substrate with a pad structure formed thereon is provided, and a first hard mask layer is formed on the pad structure. Next, a second hard mask layer is formed on the first hard mask layer. Next, a spacer layer is formed in the first opening on the first hard mask layer to expose a second opening. Next, a third hard mask layer is filled the second opening, and the spacer layer is removed. Next, the first hard mask layer is etched to expose a third opening with a salient of the first hard mask layer, with the second hard mask layer and the third hard mask layer acting as masks. Finally, the first hard mask layer, the pad structure, and the substrate are etched to form a geometric deep trench.
