Method for eliminating interlayer dielectric dishing and controlling gate height uniformity
A method for eliminating interlayer dielectric (ILD) dishing and controlling gate height uniformity is provided. Embodiments include forming a plurality of polysilicon gates over a substrate, each gate having spacers formed on sides of the polysilicon gates and a nitride cap formed on an upper surface; forming a gapfill material between adjacent polysilicon gates; forming an oxide over the gapfill material between the adjacent polysilicon gates; removing the nitride caps; removing a portion of the oxide between the adjacent polysilicon gates, forming a recess; and forming an ILD cap layer in the recess between the adjacent polysilicon gates.
