摘要:
A method of forming a dielectric material in a substrate gap using a high-density plasma is described. The method may include depositing a first portion of the dielectric material into the gap with the high-density plasma. The deposition may form a protruding structure that at least partially blocks the deposition of the dielectric material into the gap. The first portion of dielectric material is exposed to an etchant that includes reactive species from a mixture that includes NH3 and NF3. The etchant forms a solid reaction product with the protruding structure, and the solid reaction product may be removed from the substrate. A final portion of the dielectric material may be deposited in the gap with the high-density plasma.

摘要:
The present invention pertains to methods of depositing low stress/high index multi-layer films on a substrate using an HDP-CVD process. The multi-layer films include two lining layers and a bulk gap-fill layer and the HDP-CVD process employs a reduced substrate bias power during deposition of at least the second lining layer. Deposition of the three layers occurs at reduced deposition temperatures which further reduces the stress of the multi-layer film. The lower stress results in less defectivity which improves the films ability to maintain optical confinement of radiation.
