Patent attributes
Methods for depositing a metal containing material formed on a certain material of a substrate using an atomic layer deposition process for semiconductor applications are provided. In one embodiment, a method of forming a metal containing material on a substrate comprises pulsing a first gas precursor comprising a metal containing precursor to a surface of a substrate, pulsing a second gas precursor comprising a silicon containing precursor to the surface of the substrate, forming a metal containing material selectively on a first material of the substrate, and thermal annealing the metal containing material formed on the substrate.
