Abstract

A spin-on glass (SOG) composition and a method of forming a silicon oxide layer utilizing the SOG composition are disclosed. The method includes coating on a semiconductor substrate having a surface discontinuity, an SOG composition containing polysilazane having a compound of the formula —(SiH2NH)n— wherein n represents a positive integer, a weight average molecular weight within the range of about 3,300 to 3,700 to form a planar SOG layer. The SOG layer is converted to a silicon oxide layer with a planar surface by curing the SOG layer. Also disclosed is a semiconductor device made by the method.
