Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of forming an isolation structure. During this method, an isolation trench is formed within a semiconductor body. After this trench is formed, it is filled by performing multiple high-frequency plasma depositions to deposit multiple dielectric layers over the semiconductor body. A first of the multiple layers is deposited at a high-frequency power of between approximately 100 watts and approximately 900 watts.
