A method for forming a deep trench capacitor buried plate. A substrate having a pad oxide and a pad nitride is provided. A deep trench is formed in the substrate. A doped silicate film is deposited on a sidewall of the deep trench. A sacrificial layer is deposited in the deep trench, and etched back to expose parts of the doped silicate film.

A silicon nitride layer is deposited to fill the recess and to cover the doped silicate film. Finally, a thermal oxidation process is performed to form a doped ion region. The silicon nitride layer is removed. The doped silicate film is removed.

A method and structure for forming deep trenches in a semiconductor substrate is provided. The method comprises: providing a semiconductor substrate; forming a pad oxide layer on the semiconductor substrate; forming a pad nitride layer on the pad oxide layer; forming a borophosphosilicate glass layer on the pad nitride layer; forming a borosilicate glass layer on the borophosphosilicate glass layer; and forming deep trenches through the borosilicate glass layer, through the borophosphosilicate glass layer, through the pad nitride, through the pad oxide, and into the semiconductor substrate. The borosilicate glass layer and the borophosphosilicate glass layer function as a composite hard mask in forming the deep trenches. With the borophosphosilicate glass layer, the composite hard mask can be easily removed by dry etch process using hydrogen fluoride vapor after the deep trenches have been formed.

A method of forming an interlayer dielectric (ILD) layer. A dielectric layer containing boron and phosphorous is formed overlying a substrate. A plasma treatment is subsequently performed on the dielectric layer using argon or nitrogen as a process gas. A capping layer is formed in-situ overlying the dielectric layer to serve as the ILD layer with the dielectric layer. A reflow process is subsequently performed on the ILD layer. A method for preventing formation of etching defects in a contact is also disclosed.
