A method for manufacturing a nonvolatile memory device and a structure thereof are provided to reduce a contact area of a tunnel oxide layer and a semiconductor substrate by etching the semiconductor substrate on which a gate pattern is formed to fabricate a trench between adjacent gate patterns. A laminated material layer is formed on an upper portion of a semiconductor substrate(100). The laminated material is etched to form a gate pattern.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for fabricating a trench-isolation semiconductor device is provided to improve isolation reliability, by performing an effective isolation process while an ion implantation layer for a channel stop is formed, without an additional process. CONSTITUTION: A gate insulation layer(220,221) has different thicknesses in a cell region and a high voltage region of a substrate(210). An etch passivation layer(240) is stacked on the gate insulation layer. An etch mask pattern exposing a trench region is formed. The etch passivation layer is etched by using the etch mask pattern, and a gate insulation layer is etched until the gate insulation layer in the cell region is completely eliminated. The gate insulation layer remaining in the high voltage region is removed to expose substrate silicon by using etchant of which the etch selectivity regarding the substrate and the gate insulation layer is from 1:1 to 3:1. An etch process regarding the exposed substrate in the high voltage region is performed for a predetermined interval of time to form an isolation trench.
