A scaled dielectric stack interlayer, compatible with subsequent high temperature processing with good electrical transport & reliability properties is provided. A method for forming a conformal aSi:H passivation layer on a semiconductor device is described. A patterned semiconductor wafer is placed in in a process chamber with a first layer formed thereon and a second layer formed thereon, the first layer and the second layer being two different materials Next, a Si x H (2x+2) based deposition up to a temperature of 400 degrees Celsius is used on the first layer and the second layer thereby forming a conformal aSi:H passivating layer is formed at a higher rate of deposition on the first layer selectively and a lower rate of deposit on the second layer. |
