In accordance with an aspect of the invention, a method of forming a trench isolation region includes forming a trench within a substrate. A silanol layer is formed to partially fill the trench and then converted, at least some of the silanol, to a compound including at least one of SiOn and RSiOn, where R includes an organic group. An electrically insulative material is formed over the converted silanol to fill the trench. In another aspect of the invention, a method of forming a trench isolation region includes forming a trench within a substrate. A first layer of at least one of Si(OH)x and (CH3)ySi(OH)4-y is formed to partially fill the trench. At least some of the Si(OH)x if present is converted to SiO2 and at least some of (CH3)ySi(OH)4-y if present is converted to (CH3)xSiO2-x. Next, a layer of an electrically insulative material is formed to fill the trench.
