A method of forming an isolation film forms a spacer for connecting the edge of an active region to the isolation film. The spacer is on the upper sidewall of a trench and smoothes the transition or step between the level of the isolation film and the level of the active region. Accordingly, a gate oxide film of a uniform thickness can be formed on the entire active region in a subsequent process, thus preventing degradation of the characteristics of the gate oxide film. The spacer can be formed using a sidewall spacer on the hard mask used for forming the trench. The sidewall spacer protects part of the isolation formed in the trench, and etching after removal of the sidewall spacer can round the protected portion to create the spacer. Furthermore, to dispel stresses and defects in the isolation film, annealing for densification of the isolation film can be performed at a high temperature such as about 1150° C. because the spacer mitigates the effects of shrinking or sagging of the isolation film.

In a device isolation method for a semiconductor device, after a pad oxide layer and a nitride layer are formed on a semiconductor substrate, the nitride layer located above the device isolation region is removed. An undercut is formed under the nitride by partially etching the pad oxide layer. After a first oxide layer is formed on the exposed substrate and a polysilicon spacer is formed on the sidewalls of the nitride layer, a void is formed in the oxide layer under the nitride layer which is formed on the active region by oxidizing the resultant structure in which the polysilicon spacer is formed at a temperature above 950.degree. C. Thus, good cell definition and stable device isolation can be realized, while solving the typical problem of conventional LOCOS methods by forming the void intentionally in the pad oxide layer thickened by bird's beak punch through.

An isolation method in the fabrication process of a semiconductor device is provided. The method forms an oxide layer as a buffer layer for reducing stress through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). By the method, a first pad oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer are formed on a semiconductor substrate, and then an silicon nitride layer pattern is formed by patterning, and undercuts are formed in the first pad oxide layer pattern. Subsequently, a second pad oxide layer is formed on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate through CVD, and then spacers are formed on the sidewalls of both the patterned first pad oxide layer and silicon nitride layer and a field oxide layer is formed through thermal oxidation. Alternatively, a silicon layer is deposited without the spacers to form the field oxide layer. The second pad oxide layer is a buffer layer for buffering stress during formation of the field oxide layer.
