Gap-filling for isolation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for filling a gap during integrated circuit production, the method comprising:
- depositing an oxidizable layer on a substrate having a gap with sidewalls;
depositing a gap fill oxide over said substrate and over said oxidizable layer; and
annealing the resulting structure using an oxygen containing gas such that the oxidizable layer is oxidized.

Abstract
A method of filling high ratio trenches on a substrate is described. First, an oxidizable layer is deposited on the substrate. Thereafter, a trench fill oxide is deposited on the substrate and on the oxidizable layer. Afterwards, the resulting structure is annealed using an oxygen containing gas such that the oxidizable layer is oxidized.
