Abstract
Described are methods for forming a tungsten conductive structure over a substrate, such as a semiconductor substrate. Described examples include forming a silicon-containing material, such as a doped silicon-containing material, over a supporting structure. The silicon-containing material is then subsequently converted to a tungsten seed material containing the dopant material. A tungsten fill material of lower resistance will then be formed over the tungsten seed material.
