Abstract

A method and apparatus for depositing a material on a surface of a substrate are disclosed. The method can include a treatment step to suppress a rate of material deposition on the surface of the substrate. The method can result in higher-quality deposited material. Additionally or alternatively, the method can be used to fill a recess within the surface of the substrate with reduced or no seam formation.
