Abstract
A method for the formation of rhodium films with good step coverage is disclosed. Rhodium films are formed by a low temperature atomic layer deposition technique using a first gas of rhodium group metal precursor followed by an oxygen exposure. The invention provides, therefore, a method for forming smooth and continuous rhodium films which also have good step coverage and a reduced carbon content.
