Abstract

A new layer of RPO is provided for semiconductor devices, specifically for semiconductor device having sub-micron device feature size. The layer of RPO that is provided by the invention comprises a layer of silicon-rich CVD oxide, having a refractive index of between about 1.57 and 1.60 to prevent silicon atoms that are present in a layer of polysilicon from diffusing into the overlying layer of resist protect oxide.
