    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a method of forming a gate-all-around (GAA) contact structure on a semiconductor substrate. The method will include removing material from surfaces of a feature formed in a surface of a substrate that includes a plurality of features that each include a plurality of source/drain contact surfaces, selectively forming a reaction product material over a surface of each of the plurality of source/drain contact surfaces, heating the substrate to a first temperature to remove the reaction product material from the surface of each of the plurality of contacts, selectively forming a first metal layer on the surface of each of the plurality of contacts, selectively forming a second metal layer on the first metal layer, and filling the feature with a conductor material, wherein the conductor material comprises tungsten (W) or molybdenum (Mo).

    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include a method of forming contact structure on a semiconductor substrate. The method includes treating a native oxide layer formed on a contact junction, wherein treating the native oxide layer forms a silica salt layer on the contact junction disposed within a contact feature that includes one or more surfaces that comprise silicon nitride. Then exposing the silica salt layer and the one or more surfaces to a plasma comprising oxygen, wherein the plasma forms a silicon oxynitride material on the one or more surfaces. Then removing the second silica salt layer, selectively forming a metal silicide layer on the contact junction, and then filling the contact feature with a metal, wherein filling the feature comprises selectively depositing a metal layer over the selectively formed metal silicide layer.

    Abstract: Methods are provided. In some embodiments, a method of forming a contact structure on a semiconductor substrate includes disposing a selective metal silicide layer on a surface of a contact structure by maintaining a first temperature of a substrate and providing a first carrier gas, a first metal-containing precursor, and a first hydrogen-containing precursor to a first deposition chamber. The method includes disposing a partially selective metal layer on a surface of the selective metal silicide layer and one or more surfaces of a cavity by maintaining a second temperature of the substrate and providing a second carrier gas, a second metal-containing precursor, and a reducing agent to the first deposition chamber or a second deposition chamber. The second metal-containing precursor and the reducing agent are introduced to the first deposition chamber or the second deposition chamber at a chamber pressure of about 50 T to about 150 T.
