A chemical mechanical polish (CMP) planarizing method for forming a
planarized organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric layer within a
microelectronics fabrication. There is first provided a substrate employed
within a microelectronics fabrication. There is then formed over the
substrate an organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric layer. The
organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric layer is then partially
treated with an oxygen containing plasma to form from the
organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric layer an oxygen containing
plasma treated organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric upper layer
and an organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric lower residue layer.
Finally, the oxygen containing plasma treated organo-functional siloxane
polymer dielectric upper layer is planarized through a chemical mechanical
polish (CMP) planarizing method to form a planarized oxygen containing
plasma treated organo-functional siloxane polymer dielectric upper layer.
