Abstract:
Methods of filling trenches/gaps defined by circuit elements on an integrated circuit substrate are provided. The methods include forming a first high-density plasma layer on an integrated circuit substrate including at least one trench thereon using a first reaction gas. The first high-density plasma layer is etched using an etch gas including nitrogen fluoride gas (NF3). A second high-density plasma layer is formed on the etched first high-density plasma layer using a second reaction gas including nitrogen fluoride.

Abstract:
Methods of forming material in a gap in a substrate include forming a pattern to define a gap on a substrate. A bottom oxide layer is formed on a surface of the substrate and substantially filling the gap. The bottom oxide layer is etched back inside an opening in the gap to expose side walls of the gap so that a residual bottom oxide layer remains at a bottom of the gap. A top oxide layer is selectively deposited on the residual bottom oxide layer, wherein the top oxide layer is deposited in a first direction toward the opening at a faster rate than in a second direction away from the side walls.
Abstract:
A method is provided for forming silicon oxide layers during the processing of semiconductor devices by applying a SOG layer including polysilazane to a substrate and then substantially converting the SOG layer to a silicon oxide layer using an oxidant solution. The oxidant solution may include one or more oxidants including, for example, ozone, peroxides, permanganates, hypochlorites, chlorites, chlorates, perchlorates, hypobromites, bromites, bromates, hypoiodites, iodites, iodates and strong acids.
