The invention is a method for constructing an integrated circuit structure and an apparatus produced by the method. The method generally comprises constructing an integrated circuit structure by disposing a layer of doped oxide, the dopant being iso-electronic to silicon, and then reflowing the layer of doped oxide. Thus, the apparatus of the invention is an integrated circuit structure comprising a reflowed layer of doped oxide wherein the dopant is iso-electronic to silicon. In one particular embodiment, the method generally comprises constructing an integrated circuit feature on a substrate; disposing a layer of doped oxide, the dopant being iso-electronic to silicon, over the integrated circuit feature and the substrate in a substantially conformal manner; reflowing the layer of doped oxide; and etching the insulating layer and the oxide. Thus, in this particular embodiment, the apparatus comprises an integrated circuit feature constructed on a substrate and a reflowed layer of doped oxide, the dopant being iso-electronic to silicon, disposed over the integrated circuit feature and the substrate.
