The present invention provides a method of forming a trench in a semiconductor substrate. First, a first patterned mask layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate. The first patterned mask layer has a first trench. Then, a material layer is formed along the first trench. Then, a second patterned mask layer is formed on the material layer to completely fill the first trench. A part of the material layer is removed when the portion of the material layer between the second patterned mask layer and the semiconductor substrate is maintained so as to form a second trench. Lastly, an etching process is performed by using the first patterned mask layer and the second patterned mask layer as a mask.
