Abstract

A process for selectively depositing a metal such as tungsten on a substrate material is provided. In one form, a layer of insulating material such as silicon dioxide is formed on the substrate. A layer of either aluminum oxide or titanium oxide is then formed over the substrate by a spin-on technique. A straight-wall contact region to the substrate is formed and tungsten may then be quickly and selectively formed in the contact region only with chemical vapor deposition at a high pressure. In another form, the aluminum oxide or titanium oxide layer may be thickly formed directly above the substrate without the silicon dioxide layer being formed.
