ABSTRACT:
A planarizing method for forming a patterned planarized aperture fill layer within an aperture employs a planarizing stop layer formed of a reductant based material, such as but not limited to a hydrogenated silicon nitride material. The reductant based material provides the planarizing stop layer with enhanced planarizing stop properties. The method is particularly useful within the context of CMP planarizing methods.
