Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a semiconductor structure, and more particularly to a method of fabricating an isolation structure. [Prior Art] Among various non-volatile memory products, there are rewritable devices that can perform multiple times of depositing, reading, erasing, etc., and the data of the depositor disappears in the second power-off. In addition, the program can only be used as a non-volatile memory for personal computers and electronic devices. K(4) - 可 and programmable read-only memory system with doped polycrystalline hood as a floatmg gate and control gate (c〇 ig generally 'floating gate and control gate The greater the gate coupling ratio = the old phng rati0, GCR), the lower the operating voltage required for its operation, and the higher the memory speed and efficiency. Since = the gate and the gate between the control gate and the memory ’ rate, increasing the area of the dedicated valley between the floating gate and the control gate will help increase the gate coupling ratio. - However, in the trend that the integrated circuit continues to pursue high accumulative power, the sensation body: it must therefore reduce the line width of the component with the coupling of the Γ Γ ,, between the net gate and the control gate The gate of the gate 11 is falling, and the _ hair sex dragon ^ is forced to improve. In the portable electronic product category of _ volatile reading =, it is quite unfavorable. In addition, because the distance between each cell is shortened, therefore, in 2008184079 η. 84—— When the selected memory cell is used, it is easy to cause the floating gate of the selected memory cell to have a coupling effect with the floating gates of other memory cells around it, so that the difference in the threshold voltage of the selected memory cell is changed, which is easy. This results in a decrease in the soilability of the operation and affects the performance of the component. In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for fabricating an isolation junction which can continue to produce a _ combining effect which is lower than that of a floating gate of a memory cell.

Compared with the prior art, in this embodiment, since the portion of the isolation layer 120' is removed such that the height B is increased, the floating gate (the conductor layer 130) and the 11 200818407 2i 〇 84 twfd 〇 c / e are formed. The equivalent capacitance area between the control poles is also increased more than the gate _ combination rate; and the depressions at the top of the isolation structure 15G = 5 low height difference D, which can reduce the gap between adjacent floating gates Face & politician 'shrinks the domain cell's power to make the difference _ the reliability of the difference and the whole money. Moreover, due to the spacer material layer i35 used in the embodiment, the germanium isolation layer 120 has an excellent side selection ratio, so in the step of transferring the partial isolation layer 120 to form the isolation structure 150, it can effectively protect # The body layer 13 is such that the conductor layer 130 is not disturbed, and the height of the conductor 13 〇 (floating gate) is maintained. Fig. 2A to Fig. 2C are cross-sectional views showing the manufacturing process of the isolation structure according to another embodiment of the present invention. 2A to 2C are processes subsequent to the above FIG. Referring to FIG. 2A, after the conductor layer 130 is formed, a portion of the isolation layer 120 is removed. The removal method is, for example, an etch back method such as a dry etching method or a wet etching method. In the present embodiment, the thickness 导体 of the conductor layer 13 Α is, for example, 60 nm, and the difference between the top surface of the remaining isolation layer 120 ′ and the height of the conductor layer 13 amp & The thickness W of the layer 120, for example, 3 〇 nm ^ and the thickness at which the spacer layer 120 is removed can be controlled by wet etching. Thereafter, a conformal spacer material sound 135 is formed on the substrate 100. In the present embodiment, the spacer material layer 135 is made of, for example, tantalum oxide or the like, and has a etching selectivity ratio similar to or similar to that of the spacer layer 120'. In one embodiment, the spacer material layer 135 is formed by, for example, a chemical vapor deposition process using SiGemei 12 200818407 ) 21084 twf.doc/e oxalate (TEOS) as a gas source. The thickness of the spacer material layer is, for example, 20 nm. Then, referring to Fig. 2B, a portion of the spacer material layer 135' is removed to form a spacer 140' on the sidewall of the conductor layer 130. A method of removing a portion of the spacer material layer 135' is, for example, a dry etching method. In one embodiment, the height of the gap wall 140' is, for example, 30 nm, and the height difference D' of the spacer layer 120 from the top surface to the top surface of the substrate 100 is, for example, 30 nm. Thereafter, referring to Fig. 2C, the spacers 14 are removed by a refraction method, and a portion of the spacer layer 120' is formed to form the isolation structure 150. The method of removing the spacers 14A and the portion of the spacer layer 120' is, for example, a hydrogen etching method for wet etching. After the top of the spacer layer 120' is removed, the height difference D' between the top surface and the top surface of the substrate i is also reduced. As a result of the etch back, a recess 155 is formed on top of the isolation structure 150. The recess 155 may be arcuate, and the sidewall of the isolation structure 150 may cover the corner of the boundary between the conductor layer 130 and the dielectric layer 110. Thereby, the problem of leakage current of the conductor layer 130 (floating gate) can be reduced. In one embodiment, the height A of the conductor layer 130 is, for example, 60 nm, and the sidewall height B exposed by the conductor layer 130 is, for example, 40 nm, and the height difference D between the center of the top surface of the isolation structure and the top surface of the substrate 100 is i〇 Nm. In the present embodiment, the material of the spacer material layer 135' has approximately the same etching selectivity as the material of the spacer layer 120'. Therefore, in the step of forming the isolation structure 150, a portion of the isolation layer 12 can be simultaneously removed. And the spacer 140', and the step of separately removing the spacer 14〇 can be omitted. It should be noted that although the above embodiment is described by taking the non-volatile memory 13 200818407 2i 〇 84 twfd 〇 c / e white and the clothing process as an example, it is not intended to limit the present invention. And of course, (4) in other semiconductor processes, the manufacturing method of the isolation structure proposed by the present invention removes a part of the spacer _, and can increase the floating (four) pole and the subsequent shape: between the control gates. The equivalent capacitance area, which in turn increases the vocabulary ratio, and the operating voltage of the P-bull low body. In addition, due to the formation of the recess 155, the height of the isolation structure between the floating gate and the floating gate can be lowered, and the coupling effect between the floating gates can be reduced, and the voltage difference between the memory cells can be reduced. To further improve the reliability and overall performance of the memory. The present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, and it is not intended to limit the invention to those skilled in the art, and it is possible to make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
