ABSTRACT:
There is provided a semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate with a trench, and a particulate insulating layer filling at least a lower portion of the trench and containing insulating particles. The semiconductor device may further include a reflowable dielectric layer covering an upper surface of the particulate insulating layer, the insulating particles being stable at the melting point or the softening point of the reflowable dielectric layer.
