    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method of fabricating a semiconductor device. The method includes forming a plurality of circuit devices over a substrate. The method includes forming an organic layer over the substrate. The organic layer is formed over the plurality of circuit devices. The method includes polishing the organic layer to planarize a surface of the organic layer. The organic layer is free of being thermally treated prior to the polishing. The organic material is un-cross-linked during the polishing. The method includes depositing a LT-film over the planarized surface of the organic layer. The depositing is performed at a temperature less than about 150 degrees Celsius. The depositing is also performed without using a spin coating process. The method includes forming a patterned photoresist layer over the LT-film.
