US Patent 11441221 Method of performing atomic layer deposition

In an embodiment, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes preparing a deposition processing chamber by flowing first precursors to form a dielectric coat along an inner sidewall of the deposition processing chamber and flowing a second precursor to form a hydrophobic layer over the dielectric coat. In addition one or more deposition cycles are performed. Next, the second precursor is flowed again to repair the hydrophobic layer.
