ABSTRACT:
A method of forming a passivation layer over features located on a top layer on a semiconductor device comprises depositing a first void-free layer of a dielectric over the top layer using high density plasma chemical vapor deposition. A second void-free layer can additionally be deposited over the first void-free layer. The first void-free layer can be formed from a silicon oxide, and the second void-free layer can be formed from a silicon nitride. The first void-free layer has a top surface that is disposed at a height higher than the features. The first void-free layer can be applied in two steps. First, the void-free layer is deposited at a D/S ratio between 3.0 and 4.0 to a depth of at least 40% of the feature's height, and then deposited at a D/S ratio of between 6.0 and 7.0.
