Abstract
Methods and apparatus for selectively depositing a titanium material layer atop a substrate having a silicon surface and a dielectric surface are disclosed. In embodiments an apparatus is configured for forming a remote plasma reaction between titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), hydrogen (H2) and argon (Ar) in a region between a lid heater and a showerhead of a process chamber at a first temperature of 200 to 800 degrees C.; and flowing reaction products into the process chamber to selectively form a titanium material layer upon the silicon surface of the substrate.
