Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to forming a gate layer in high aspect ratio trenches using a cyclic deposition-etch process. In an embodiment, a method for semiconductor processing is provided. The method includes performing a cyclic deposition-etch process to form a conformal film over a bottom surface and along sidewall surfaces of a feature on a substrate. The method includes forming a dielectric cap layer on the conformal film. The method includes performing an anneal process on the conformal film.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the anneal process is performed in an ambient gas comprising nitrogen, hydrogen, or a combination thereof.
