Abstract:
A method includes providing a substrate including a first fin element and a second fin element extending from the substrate. A first layer including an amorphous material is formed over the first and second fin elements, where the first layer includes a gap disposed between the first and second fin elements. An anneal process is performed to remove the gap in the first layer. The amorphous material of the first layer remains amorphous during the performing of the anneal process.

Claim (Index 14):
A method comprising:\n providing a substrate including a plurality of fin elements extending from the substrate; forming a first dielectric layer over the substrate, wherein the first dielectric layer includes a first set of gaps disposed between adjacent fin elements; and performing a first anneal process to the first dielectric layer to remove the first set of gaps, wherein the performing the first anneal process includes:\n applying a first energy to a first portion of the first dielectric layer; and \n applying a second energy to a second portion of the first dielectric layer, wherein the second energy is different from the first energy.
