Deposition techniques that rely on surface-reaction-limited growth enable uniform coverage along high-aspect-ratio fin structures, ensuring that barrier and stress effects are spatially uniform across the trench profile [P2].
The STI liner deposition step is inserted after fin surface conditioning steps to stabilize the fin sidewalls and trench interfaces before the bulk dielectric gap-fill, thereby preserving fin geometry and electrical isolation integr…
