Abstract: Methods for processing a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of processing a substrate includes: heating a substrate disposed within a processing volume of a substrate processing chamber to a temperature of up to about 400 degrees Celsius, wherein the substrate comprises a first surface, an opposing second surface, and an opening formed in the first surface and extending towards the opposing second surface, and wherein the second surface comprises a conductive material disposed in the second surface and aligned with the opening; and exposing the substrate to a process gas comprising about 80 to about 100 wt. % of an alcohol to reduce a contaminated surface of the conductive material.

Abstract: A method of forming a molybdenum film by oxidation and reduction is disclosed. A molybdenum oxide film is formed by CVD or ALD using a halide free organometallic molybdenum precursor. The molybdenum oxide film contains low amounts of carbon impurities. The molybdenum oxide film is reduced to form a highly pure molybdenum film. The molybdenum film has low resistance and properties similar to bulk molybdenum.

Abstract: A method of cleaning a surface of a substrate uses alcohol and water treatments. The method may include applying an alcohol treatment on a surface of the substrate with the alcohol treatment configured to provide surface reduction and applying a water treatment to the surface of the substrate with the water treatment configured to enhance selectivity of at least a portion of the surface for a subsequent barrier layer process by removing alcohol from the at least a portion of the surface. The water treatment may be performed simultaneously with the alcohol treatment or performed after the alcohol treatment. The water treatment may include vaporized water or water injected into a plasma to produce hydrogen or oxygen radicals.

Abstract: A movable substrate support with a top surface for holding a substrate, when present, is used in conjunction with a cover ring that is stationary to adjust for a shadow effect to control substrate edge uniformity during deposition processes. The cover ring is held stationary by an electrically isolated spacer that engages with a grounded shield in the process volume of a semiconductor process chamber. A controller adjusts the substrate support in response to deposition material on a top surface of the cover ring to maintain the shadow effect and substrate edge uniformity.
