Notes:
We have compared the step coverage of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition tetraethylorthosilicate films of microwave downstream, high frequency radio frequency (rf), and low frequency rf depositions. The microwave-downstream deposition, characterized by bimolecular surface reactions, produces a conformal step coverage. The rf depositions with ion-induced surface reactions produce a low sidewall, high bottom coverage. The chemical radical and the ion effects on the step coverage are discussed.
