    摘要: A method for depositing dielectric material into gaps between wiring lines in the formation of a semiconductor device includes the deposition of dielectric layers using high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD). A first HDPCVD step is carried out to form a first dielectric layer over the wiring lines and into the gaps between wiring lines. A PECVD step is carried out to deposit dielectric material over the first dielectric layer and within and to define a opening in the gap. A second HDPCVD step is carried out and the opening defined by the PECVD step is capped by a third dielectric layer. The method allows air-filled voids to be formed between adjacent metal wiring lines in a highly controlled manner which allows selection of the shape of the voids and precise location of the top of the voids. In addition, the voids are sealed by a denser and more durable material than is typical.
