  • Method for fabricating a semiconductor device
    Patent number: 6639285
    Abstract: A method for making a semiconductor device is provided. The method allows for depositing a layer of a doped dielectric. The method further allows for executing plasma etching so that one or more etchant gases flow over the layer of doped dielectric. A redepositing step allows for redepositing another layer of doped dielectric over the plasma etched layer. The present invention enables to remove crystal defects that may be present in the doped dielectric surface and improve surface planarity.
