Abstract:
A method of filling recesses or grooves on a patterned surface with a layer of film, by combining depositing a film by PEALD/PPECVD on the patterned surface and etching the film, wherein the deposition and the etching are separately controlled, and wherein the conditions for deposition can be controlled by controlling RF power.

Claim (Index 1):
A processing apparatus, comprising:\n a chamber; a power source configured to provide power to generate a plasma for PEALD or pulsed PECVD; and a support configured to hold a substrate, wherein the apparatus is configured to cause deposition, by PEALD or pulsed PECVD, of a same film at a same time on a top wall and on a side wall of a recess or groove of a patterned surface of the substrate such that the film on the top wall exhibits, when etched, a different etch rate or resistance to etching compared to the film on the side wall.
