    摘要: A method and apparatus for controlling the wet-etch rate and thickness uniformity of a dielectric layer, such as a phosphosilicate glass layer (PSG) layer. The method is based upon the discovery that the atmospheric pressure at which a PSG layer is deposited affects the wet-etch rate of the same, during a subsequent processing step, as well as the layer's thickness uniformity. As a result, the method of the present invention includes the step of pressurizing the atmospheric pressure of a semiconductor process chamber within a predetermined range after the substrate is deposited therein. Flowed into the deposition zone is a process gas comprising a silicon source, all oxygen source, and a phosphorous source; and maintaining the deposition zone at process conditions suitable for depositing a phosphosilicate glass layer on the substrate.
