Abstract

A low dielectric constant gap-fill process using high density plasma (HDP) deposition is provided for depositing a boron-doped silicon oxide layer to eliminate the damaging effects of fluorine on underlying circuitry while still maintaining a low dielectric constant for an intermetal dielectric (IMD) layer.
