A method for fabricating a trench isolation structure is described. A trench is formed in a substrate. A liner layer is formed at least in the trench. A precursor layer is formed at least on the sidewalls of the trench. The precursor layer is converted to an insulating layer that has a larger volume than the precursor layer and fills up the trench.

A dynamic random access memory (DRAM) structure has a stacked capacitor disposed above an upper source/drain region of a vertical transistor having a surrounding gate. The gates of each row of a memory array are electrically connected with a buried word line. Each of bit lines is disposed between two adjacent columns of transistors and electrically connected with lower source/drain regions through bit line contacts. The DRAM structure may have a unit cell size of 4F2.

A flash memory including a substrate having a recess, a buried bit line, a word line, a single side insulating layer, a floating gate, a tunneling dielectric layer, a control gate, and an inter-gate dielectric layer is provided. The buried bit line extends below the recess of the substrate along a first direction. The word line is on the substrate, and extends above the recess along a second direction. The single side insulating layer is on a first sidewall of the recess. The floating gate is on a second sidewall of the recess to be opposite to the single side insulating layer. The tunneling dielectric layer is sandwiched by the floating gate and the substrate to contact the buried bit line. The control gate fills the recess and contacts the word line. The inter-gate dielectric layer is sandwiched by the control gate and the floating gate.

A memory array includes a rhomboid-shaped AA region surrounded by a first and second STI structures. The first STI structure extends along a first direction on the longer sides of the rhomboid-shaped AA region and has a depth d1. The second STI structure extends along the second direction on the shorter sides of the rhomboid-shaped AA region and has two depths: d2 and d3, wherein d1 and d2 are shallower than d3.
