Abstract

A method for forming a semiconductor structure is provided. The method includes providing a substrate; forming a dielectric layer on the substrate; forming a conductor pattern on a main surface of the dielectric layer, the conductor pattern having a top surface and sidewalls; and performing a selective atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to selectively deposit a conformal metal layer onto the top surface and sidewalls of the conductor pattern, but without depositing onto the main surface of the dielectric layer substantially.
