Abstract

A low-temperature pre-metal dielectric deposition process using phosphine-based chemistry in a high-density plasma chemical-vapor deposition technique. The process uses a phosphorous-doped oxide of up to 3.5 percent (wt) deposited at less than 350 degrees C. capable of filling 0.4 micron spaces between poly-silicon gates without microvoids.
