Abstract: A method includes flowing an evaporated low vapor pressure organic molecule (OM) into a processing chamber including a substrate. The method further includes depositing, in the processing chamber, the low vapor pressure OM onto at least a portion of the substrate at a first temperature and a first pressure to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on at least the portion of the substrate. The method further includes annealing, in the processing chamber, the SAM on at least the portion of the substrate at a second temperature and a second pressure. The second pressure is greater than the first pressure and the second temperature is greater than the first temperature.

Abstract: Exemplary methods of semiconductor processing may include methods for nonconformally building up silicon-and-oxygen-containing material where the top of the feature preferentially fills at a slower rate as compared to the bottom of the feature. Such methods may include iterative nonconformal etching operations and/or iterative nonconformal inhibition operations. For example, after building up a layer comprising silicon-and-oxygen-containing material, the layer may be nonconformally etched before building up another layer comprising silicon-and-oxygen-containing material. In another example, in the building up of the layer, an inhibitor may be introduced preferentially at and near the top of the features to provide nonconformal buildup of the silicon-and-oxygen-containing material.

Abstract: Embodiments described and discussed herein provide methods for selectively depositing a metal oxides on a substrate. In one or more embodiments, methods for forming a metal oxide material includes positioning a substrate within a processing chamber, where the substrate has passivated and non-passivated surfaces, exposing the substrate to a first metal alkoxide precursor to selectively deposit a first metal oxide layer on or over the non-passivated surface, and exposing the substrate to a second metal alkoxide precursor to selectively deposit a second metal oxide layer on the first metal oxide layer. The method also includes sequentially repeating exposing the substrate to the first and second metal alkoxide precursors to produce a laminate film containing alternating layers of the first and second metal oxide layers. Each of the first and second metal alkoxide precursors contains a different metal selected from titanium, zirconium, hafnium, aluminum, or lanthanum.

In one example, a method of forming a metal containing material on a substrate comprises pulsing a first gas precursor comprising a metal containing precursor to a surface of a substrate, pulsing a second gas precursor comprising a carboxylic acid to the surface of the substrate, and forming a metal containing material selectively on a first material of the substrate. In another example, a method of forming a metal containing material on a substrate includes selectively forming a metal containing layer on a silicon material or a metal material on a substrate than on an insulating material on the substrate by an atomic layer deposition process by alternatively supplying a metal containing precursor and a water free precursor to the substrate.

Abstract: Methods are described for reducing the wet etch rate of dielectric films formed on a patterned substrate by flowing the material into gaps during deposition. Films deposited in this manner may initially exhibit elevated wet etch rates. The dielectric films are treated by exposing the patterned substrate to a high pressure of water vapor in the gas phase. The treatment may reduce the wet etch rate of the dielectric films, especially the gapfill portion of the dielectric film. Scanning electron microscopy has confirmed that the quantity and/or size of pores is reduced or eliminated by the procedures described herein. The treatment has also been found to reduce the etch rate, e.g., at the bottom of gaps filled with the dielectric film.
