          Application 07/858,632                                                      

























                                      APPENDIX                                        
                    1.  A method of fabricating an electronic device, of              
          the type wherein grooves formed a substrate are filled up with              
          a filling material deposited by a deposition process in which               
          etching and deposition are achieved concurrently, wherein the               
          improvement comprises:                                                      
                         leveling the height of portions of the filling               
          material deposited on these portions of the substrate other                 
          than those corresponding to the grooves; and                                
                         thereafter, polishing away said portions of the              
          filling material to smooth an entire surface of the substrate.              
                                          17
