1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor device, comprising:
- forming a material layer on a substrate;
forming a first trench and a second trench in the substrate and the material layer, wherein a width of the first trench is smaller than a width of the second trench;
forming a flowable isolation material covering the material layer and filling in the first trench and the second trench;
removing a portion of the flowable isolation material in the second trench, so that a thickness of the remaining flowable isolation material on a sidewall of the second trench is in a range of 200 Å
to 1000 Å
; and
forming a non-flowable isolation material on the flowable isolation material.

Abstract
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes: forming a first trench and a wider second trench in a substrate and a material layer formed thereon, forming a flowable isolation material covering the material layer and filling in the first and second trenches, removing a portion of the flowable isolation material in the second trench so that the thickness of the remaining flowable isolation material on the sidewall of the second trench is 200 Å to 1000 Å, and forming a non-flowable isolation material on the flowable isolation material.
