Abstract

Methods of depositing a metal film with high purity are discussed. Some embodiments utilize a thermal ALD process comprising an alkyl halide and a metal precursor. Some embodiments selectively deposit a metal film with high purity on a metal surface over a dielectric surface. Some embodiments selectively deposit a metal film with high purity on a dielectric surface over a metal surface. Some embodiments deposit a metal film with greater than 99% metal atoms on an atomic basis.
