In one exemplary embodiment, a method includes: providing a structure having a first layer overlying a substrate, where the first layer includes a dielectric material having a plurality of pores; applying a filling material to a surface of the first layer, where the filling material includes a polymer and at least one additive, where the at least one additive includes at least one of a surfactant, a high molecular weight polymer and a solvent; and after applying the filling material, heating the structure to enable the filling material to at least partially fill the plurality of pores uniformly across an area of the first layer, where heating the structure results in residual filling material being uniformly left on the surface of the first layer.
