How to close a created file using powershell

Question

I've written a powershell script and I use covertto-csv to dump the stuff into, that have read in my code. Once all the stuff is written to a csv file (which I created using covertto-csv), I use the same file as an argument for another program which I run from the same script. As an output a csv is created successfully but when another program access that csv, I get FileAccess error. How this can be solved?
