    Abstract: Methods for removing a passivation film from a copper surface can include exposing the passivation film to a vapor phase organic reactant, for example at a temperature of 100° C. to 400° C. In some embodiments, the passivation film may have been formed by exposure of the copper surface to benzotriazole, such as can occur during a chemical mechanical planarization process. The methods can be performed as part of a process for integrated circuit fabrication. A second material can be selectively deposited on the cleaned copper surface relative to another surface of the substrate.

    Abstract: Examples of a film forming method includes repeating first processing and second processing in this order a plurality of times, wherein the first processing supplies material-1 having one silicon atom per molecule onto a substrate, and then generates plasma while reactant gas is introduced, thereby forming a silicon oxide film on the substrate, and the second processing provides material-2 having two or more silicon atoms per molecule onto the substrate, and then generates plasma while no reactant gas is introduced, thereby forming a double silicon compound on the substrate.
