Abstract: Molybdenum (Mo) metal-on-metal (MoM) deposition methods for providing true bottom-up fill in vias and/or other gap features in device structures. These device structures contain metal at the bottom surface and have dielectric sidewalls. The deposition process provides molybdenum growth only, in some cases, on the metal film/layer to provide a selective process that can be called a metal-on-metal (MoM) process. The Mo MoM deposition process described herein are not limited to thin films (e.g., films less than 50 Å) and can be used to deposit thicker films (e.g., greater than 50 Å in some cases and greater than 200 Å in other useful cases) on metal surfaces while no, or substantially no, deposition is found on dielectric surfaces.

Abstract: Methods and systems for forming transition metal layers on a surface of a substrate and structures and devices formed using the methods are disclosed. Exemplary methods include forming a transition layer prior to forming the transition metal layer. The transition layer can be used to facilitate subsequent deposition of the transition metal layer on high aspect ratio features, while mitigating bending of the features during deposition of the transition metal layer.

Abstract: Methods for depositing a molybdenum nitride film on a surface of a substrate are disclosed. The methods may include: providing a substrate into a reaction chamber; and depositing a molybdenum nitride film directly on the surface of the substrate by performing one or more unit deposition cycles of cyclical deposition process, wherein a unit deposition cycle may include, contacting the substrate with a first vapor phase reactant comprising a molybdenum halide precursor, and contacting the substrate with a second vapor phase reactant comprising a nitrogen precursor. Semiconductor device structures including a molybdenum nitride film are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for forming molybdenum layers on a surface of a substrate and structures and devices formed using the methods are disclosed. Exemplary methods include forming an underlayer prior to forming the molybdenum layer. The underlayer can be used to manipulate stress in the molybdenum layer and/or reduce a nucleation temperature and/or deposition temperature of a step of forming the molybdenum layer.
