Abstract
Abstract An improved method of depositing borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) on a substrate is disclosed. The improved method uses temperatures substantially lower than conventional and a volume ratio of oxygen to the total hydride content in the deposition mixture substantially higher than conventional. A BPSG film of increased purity is produced at a rate of deposition substantially faster than conventional procedures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
