Abstract
A process for depositing void-free silicon oxide layers over stepped topography comprising depositing a first silicon oxide seed layer which is doped with nitrogen from a plasma of tetraethoxysilane and a nitrogen-containing gas, and depositing thereover a silicon oxide layer from a mixture of tetraethoxysilane, ozone and oxygen at low temperatures to produce a silicon oxide layer having improved properties.
