Abstract
A trench structure (10) using germanium silicate. The trench structure (10) has a substrate material (12) and a hard mask material (14) that overlies the substrate material (12). An opening is formed in the hard mask material and the opening is used to form a trench (16) in the substrate material (12). The trench (16) has a sidewall portion and a bottom portion. A barrier (18 and 20) is formed overlying the bottom portion of the trench (16) and adjacent to the sidewall portion of the trench (16). A planar germanium silicate region (22) is formed overlying the barrier (18 and 20).
