Abstract

See full text

Embodiments herein include void-free material depositions on a substrate (e.g., in a void-free trench-filled (VFTF) component). In some embodiments, a method may include providing a plurality of device structures extending from a base, each of the plurality of device structures including a first sidewall opposite a second sidewall and a top surface extending between the first and second sidewalls, and providing a seed layer over the plurality of device structures. The method may further include forming a dielectric layer along just the top surface and along an upper portion of the first and second sidewalls using an angled deposition delivered to the plurality of device structures at a non-zero angle of inclination relative to a perpendicular extending from an upper surface of the base, and forming a fill material within one or more trenches defined by the plurality of device structures.
