ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for depositing material to conformally cover or fill holes within the surface of a semiconductor substrate. The preferred method includes the steps of coherently depositing a first thickness of the material onto the surface of the substrate; reverse sputtering the deposited material so as to coat the sidewalls of the contact holes with the deposited material; after the first thickness of the material is deposited onto the surface of the substrate, depositing a second thickness of the material onto the surface of the substrate; and while depositing the second thickness of the material onto the surface of the substrate, heating the substrate to enhance reflow of the material being deposited.
