Abstract:
A gap-filling dielectric layer, method for fabricating the same and applications thereof are disclosed. A silicon-containing dielectric layer is firstly deposited on a substrate. The silicon-containing dielectric layer is then subjected to a curing process, an in-situ wetting treatment and an annealing process in sequence, whereby a gap-filling dielectric layer with a nitrogen atom density less than 1×1022 atoms/cm3 is formed.
