Abstract: Methods for selective deposition of silicon oxide films on metal or metallic surfaces relative to dielectric surfaces are provided. A dielectric surface of a substrate may be selectively passivated relative to a metal or metallic surface, such as by exposing the substrate to a silylating agent. Silicon oxide is then selectively deposited on the metal or metallic surface relative to the passivated oxide surface by contacting the metal surface with a metal catalyst and a silicon precursor comprising a silanol.

Abstract: Methods for selective deposition of silicon oxide films on dielectric surfaces relative to metal surfaces are provided. A metal surface of a substrate may be selectively passivated relative to the dielectric surface, such as with a polyimide layer or thiol SAM. Silicon oxide is selectively deposited on the dielectric surface relative to the passivated metal surface by contacting the dielectric surface with a metal catalyst and a silicon precursor comprising a silanol.

Abstract: Methods and systems for depositing vanadium and/or indium layers onto a surface of a substrate and structures and devices formed using the methods are disclosed. An exemplary method includes using a cyclical deposition process, depositing a vanadium and/or indium layer onto the surface of the substrate. The cyclical deposition process can include providing a vanadium and/or indium precursor to the reaction chamber and separately providing a reactant to the reaction chamber. The cyclical deposition process may desirably be a thermal cyclical deposition process. Exemplary structures can include field effect transistor structures, such as gate all around structures. The vanadium and/or indium layers can be used, for example, as barrier layers or liners, as work function layers, as dipole shifter layers, or the like.
