Abstract:
Methods for seam-less gap fill comprising forming a flowable film by PECVD, treating the flowable film to form an Si—X film where X=C, O or N and curing the flowable film or Si—X film to solidify the film. The flowable film can be formed using a higher order silane and plasma. A UV cure, or other cure, can be used to solidify the flowable film or the Si—X film.

Claim (Index 1):
A processing method comprising:\n providing a substrate surface having at least one feature thereon, the at least one feature extending a depth from the substrate surface to a bottom surface, the at least one feature having a width defined by a first sidewall and a second sidewall; forming a flowable film on the substrate surface and the first sidewall, second sidewall and bottom surface of the at least one feature, the flowable film filling the feature with substantially no seam formed; and treating the flowable film to form an Si\u2014X film, where X is one or more of N, O or C; and curing the Si\u2014X film to solidify the film and form a substantially seam-free gapfill.
