INFLUENCE OF TEMPERATURE-TIME PARAMETERS OF HEAT TREATMENT ON THE PROCESS OF PLANARIZATION OF THE SURFACE RELIEF OF MICROELECTRON STRUCTURES
S. P. Zhvavyi, G. D. Ivlev, V. A. Pilipenko, and V. N. Ponomar' UDC 621.3.049.77.002 The authors consider the process of fusion of phosphorosilicate and borophosphorosilicate glasses in planarization of the surface of integrated microcircuits under the conditions of both isothermal and pulse heat treatment. An expression for calculating the angle of fusion of the relief step as a function of the concentration of doping impurities in a glass and the time and temperature of heat treatment is obtained.
