Abstract

A silicon-containing polymer is deposited in a recess on the surface of the substrate. The substrate is then heated to a given temperature. The surface of the substrate, heated to the given temperature and having the silicon-containing polymer deposited thereon, is subjected to gas or vapor activated by a plasma or other electromagnetic radiation which is distinct from a source of heat used to heat the substrate to the given temperature.
