Abstract

A method of forming a HDPCVD oxide layer over metal lines, the metal lines having gaps between the metal lines having an aspect ratio of two or more. The method comprises the steps of: forming a liner oxide layer over the metal lines; and forming an HDPCVD oxide layer over the liner oxide layer, the formation of the HDPCVD oxide layer being done such that the deposition-to-sputter ratio is increasing as the gaps are being filled.
