Abstract:
A method includes etching a semiconductor substrate to form trenches extending into the semiconductor substrate, and depositing a first dielectric layer into the trenches. The first dielectric layer fills lower portions of the trenches. A Ultra-Violet (UV) treatment is performed on the first dielectric layer in an oxygen-containing process gas. The method further includes depositing a second dielectric layer into the trenches. The second dielectric layer fills upper portions of the trenches. A thermal treatment is performed on the second dielectric layer in an additional oxygen-containing process gas. After the thermal treatment, an anneal is performed on the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.

Claim (Index 3):
The structure of  claim 1 , wherein both the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer comprise silicon oxide, and the first dielectric layer has more Si\u2014O bonds per unit volume than the second dielectric layer.
