摘要: A method of reducing oxide thickness variations in a STI pattern that includes both dense trench array and wide is described. first HDP CVD step with deposition/sputter (D/S) ratio 9.5 used to deposit dielectric layer 120 130% the shallow depth. An etch back performed same chamber NF3, SiF4 or NF3 remove about 40 50% initial layer. second D/S 16 deposits an additional level slightly higher than after deposition. The deposition form smoother surface which enables subsequent planarization provide filled features minimal amount dishing trenches.
