 Borophosphosilicate glass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borophosphosilicate glass, commonly known as BPSG, is a type of silicate glass that includes impurities of both boron and phosphorus.
Silicate glasses such as PSG and borophosphosilicate glass are commonly used in semiconductor device fabrication for intermetal layers, i.e., insulating layers deposited between succeedingly higher metal or conducting layers.
BPSG has been implicated in increasing a device's susceptibility to soft errors - the Boron-10 isotope is good at capturing thermal neutrons from cosmic radiation.

 Dopant barrier for doped glass in memory devices patent   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Glass is usually the material for this kind of dielectric layer.
Today, the glass is usually doped with materials such as boron and phosphorous (dopants) to reduce the temperature of the reflow process.
The dopant in the doped glass, however, tends to diffuse outward and migrate to the surface structures and the substrate.

For example, when using the process in a front end application, the use of boron phosphorus silicate glass (BPSG) may be eliminated and a phosphorus silicate glass (PSG) may be substituted for the BPSG as the insulating material to be planarized.
By using a low melting planarizing material such as a low melting glass, planarizing material 30 may be deposited using, for example, the same CVD methods and apparatus used to deposit the insulating material 20 such as silicon oxide.
The integrated circuit structure, having the low melting inorganic planarizing layer deposited thereon in accordance with the invention, is then etched to remove substantially all of the planarization layer as well as the high or stepped portions of the underlying insulation layer leaving a substantially planarized structure.

 Silicon Dioxide Properties
The working of silica into glass (usually by the addition of natron -- sodium oxide -- to lower the melting point) has been known since antiquity, with polished glass lenses in eyeglasses and optical instruments dating back more than 5 centuries.
Deposited silicon dioxide, almost always by CVD approaches, is almost as old as thermal growth on the substrate, and has been employed in various ways in IC fabrication due to its familiarity, versatility, and reliability.
Borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG) can achieve a lower flow temperature: typically around 900 C for 4-5 wt.% of each dopant.
