摘要:A multistep method for planarizing a silicon oxide insulating layer such as a

deposited borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) layer. The method includes several different

planarization stages. During an initial, pre-planarization stage, a substrate having a BPSG

layer deposited over it is loaded into a substrate processing chamber. Then, during a first

planarization stage after the pre-planarization stage, oxygen and hydrogen are flowed

into the substrate processing chamber to form a steam ambient in said chamber and the

substrate is heated in the steam ambient from a first temperature to a second

temperature. The first temperature is below a reflow temperature of the BPSG layer and

the second temperature is sufficient to reflow the layer. After the substrate is heated to

the second temperature during a second planarization stage, the temperature of the

substrate and the conditions within the substrate processing chamber are maintained at

conditions sufficient to reflow the BPSG layer in the steam ambient. In a more preferred

embodiment, the multistep planarization method also includes a third planarization

stage, after the second stage. In the third planarization stage, the flow of hydrogen is

stopped while the flow of oxygen is maintained, thereby forming an oxygen ambient in

the substrate processing chamber. The substrate temperature is maintained in the

oxygen ambient at a temperature above the reflow temperature of the BPSG layer. It is

believed that this additional step minimizes the amount of moisture incorporated into

the reflowed BPSG layer.
