Abstract
Deuterated compounds are used to form passivation (20) and other insulating layers to reduce the hydrogen content within those films. Semiconductor source gases, nitride source gases, and dopant gases can be obtained in deuterated form. Process steps for forming and etching are substantially the same as those used to form and etch conventional insulating layer. A sintering step can be performed using deuterated gas or omitted altogether.
