Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a method of semiconductor device fabrication including forming a multi-composition ILD layer by forming a first portion of an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer on a semiconductor substrate; and forming a second portion of an ILD layer on the first portion of the ILD layer. The second portion may have a greater silicon content than the first portion. For example, the second portion may be a silicon rich oxide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of semiconductor device fabrication, comprising: forming a dummy gate structure on a semiconductor substrate; forming a first portion of an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer on semiconductor substrate adjacent the dummy gate structure; and forming a second portion of the ILD layer on the first portion of the ILD layer, wherein the second portion has a greater silicon content than the first portion; after forming the first and second portions…
