Abstract

Methods for processing a substrate are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a substrate with a first layer and an oxide layer on the substrate is placed in a processing chamber. The oxide layer is removed while the substrate is at a first temperature in the processing chamber. A second layer is then formed on the first layer while the substrate is at a second temperature in the processing chamber.
