Abstract
A method includes depositing a flowable film on a substrate by providing a first input flow, the first input flow including plasma effluents of a first precursor, removing a portion of the flowable film from a sidewall of a feature defined within the substrate to obtain a remaining portion of the flowable film by providing a second input flow, the second input flow including plasma effluents of a second precursor, reducing hydrogen content of the remaining portion of the flowable film to obtain a densified film by providing a third input flow, the third input flow including plasma effluents of a third precursor, and treating the densified film in accordance with a film treatment process.
