Dielectric ;;; In-process metal (P-CVD) produced by the metal fengal lean ♦ 11 As the active plasma non-doped silica glass (HDP-USG) and plasma phosphorous silicon glass (HDP-FSG), according to the report The display has a true-duty characteristic, and is particularly in the sub-micron ultra large integrated circuit (ULS I) vulture. The #density plasma chemical vapor deposition process mainly uses the plasma chemical vapor deposition method Shen Yi _ ^ Μ, and the inner layer of a metal dielectric layer on a substrate containing metal interconnects is manufactured and partially Trench between metal interconnects in a trench. Then, “the inner metal dielectric layer located at the edge of the metal interconnect line and between the trenches is cut off again in a sputtering process” so that the inner metal dielectric layer can continue to fill the trench. It can be formed by repeating the above-mentioned process, reducing the plating process-the internal metal dielectric f 'with a good trench filling, and the number of repetitions depends on the line width and the degree of accumulation of the components, where the line width is narrow and the degree of accumulation is dense If you use it, you can increase the number of repetitions of deposition and sputtering. However, because the ions of the high-density plasma vapor deposition process have extremely high bombardment energy, after deposition on the substrate surface, the temperature of the substrate surface is often uneven, which makes the obtained high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition layer. The line-to-line capacitance values are inconsistent. This result will cause great differences in the performance of subsequent circuits. In view of this, the present invention discloses a method for improving the line-line capacitance value consistency of a high-density plasma deposition layer, which is characterized by 'increasing heat dissipation on the back of the substrate when the high-density plasma deposition layer is formed on a substrate surface Gas
