    Abstract: Methods for depositing a thin film with improved film qualities on a hydrogen-terminated surface of a substrate are disclosed. The methods may comprise an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process comprising a plurality of deposition cycles comprising contacting the substrate with a first vapor phase metal halide or metalorganic reactant, contacting the substrate with the second vapor phase reactant, and contacting the substrate with a growth inhibitor. A growth inhibitor may be a non-consumable agent that is not incorporated into the deposited film during the deposition process and helps improve the properties of the deposited film. The growth inhibitor may comprise a vapor phase halide, such as HCl, or an organic molecule.

    Abstract: A semiconductor processing apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include, a reaction chamber and a susceptor dispose in the reaction chamber configured for supporting a substrate thereon, the susceptor comprising a plurality of through-holes in an axial direction of the susceptor. The apparatus may also include, a plurality of lift pins, each of the lift pins being disposed within a respective through-hole, and at least one gas transmitting channel comprising one or more gas channel outlets, the one or more gas channel outlets being disposed proximate to the through-holes. Methods for processing a substrate within a reaction chamber are also disclosed.
