TEOS can be used as an alternative to thermally grown or PECVD oxide, it has a dielectric constant of 3.56 (For thermal oxide it is 3.46). Furthermore TEOS has a very high surface mobility enabling it to fill holes that has a large aspect ratio and leaving the surface quite smooth see figure 2, hence it also covers corners and side walls very well.
