Manufacturing method of shallow trench isolation structure of the invention comprises the following steps: a pad oxide layer and the hard mask layer are formed on the surface of the substrate; sequentially etching a pad oxide layer and a hard mask layer to form an opening; on the surface of the hard mask layer and the opening in the deposition of oxide layer; the surface oxide hard mask the surface layer and the substrate part of the oxide layer is removed by etching, on both sides of the opening in the formation of a self-aligned sidewall; the self-aligned side wall for masking, etching a shallow trench in the substrate; removing the self-aligned side wall, the top of the shallow trench edges can be fully exposed to generate linear; the oxide in the shallow groove, the top of the shallow trench edges in this process can be a full circle; the insulating medium is filled in the shallow groove; the hard mask layer and the pad oxide layer is removed A shallow trench isolation structure is formed. By adopting the method of the invention, a rounded vertex angle can be formed at the top of the shallow groove isolation structure to avoid the generation of the leakage current.
