Abstract

Fabrication of semiconductor devices is provided. A chamber is evacuated to a pressure of less than about 1 Torr. The chamber is heated to a temperature in excess of about 400° C. A precursor is introduced into the chamber. The precursor is decomposed with a first plasma. A first layer is deposited on a surface of the semiconductor device based on the decomposed precursor. The precursor is densified to form a first gate spacer. The precursor is introduced into the chamber subsequent to forming the first layer. The precursor is decomposed with a second plasma. A second layer is deposited on the surface of the semiconductor device based on the decomposed precursor. The deposited precursor is densified to form a second gate spacer.
