Abstract: Thermal atomic layer etching processes are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods comprise at least one etch cycle in which the substrate is alternately and sequentially exposed to a first vapor phase halide reactant and a second vapor halide reactant. In some embodiments, the first reactant may comprise an organic halide compound. During the thermal ALE cycle, the substrate is not contacted with a plasma reactant.

Abstract: Processes are provided herein for deposition of organic films. Organic films can be deposited, including selective deposition on one surface of a substrate relative to a second surface of the substrate. For example, polymer films may be selectively deposited on a first metallic surface relative to a second dielectric surface. Selectivity, as measured by relative thicknesses on the different layers, of above about 50% or even about 90% is achieved. The selectively deposited organic film may be subjected to an etch process to render the process completely selective. Processes are also provided for particular organic film materials, independent of selectivity.

Abstract: A method and system for forming a copper iodide layer on a surface of a substrate are disclosed. Exemplary methods include using a cyclic deposition process that includes providing a copper precursor to a reaction chamber and providing an iodine reactant to the reaction chamber. Exemplary methods can further include providing a reducing agent and/or providing a dopant reactant to the reaction chamber. Structures formed using the method are also described. The structures can be used to form devices, such as memory devices.

Abstract: Atomic layer etching (ALE) processes are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods comprise at least one etch cycle in which the substrate is alternately and sequentially exposed to a first vapor phase non-metal halide reactant and a second vapor phase halide reactant. In some embodiments both the first and second reactants are chloride reactants. In some embodiments the first reactant is fluorinating gas and the second reactant is a chlorinating gas. In some embodiments a thermal ALE cycle is used in which the substrate is not contacted with a plasma reactant.

Abstract: The current disclosure generally relates to the manufacture of semiconductor devices. Specifically, the disclosure relates to methods of depositing a layer on a substrate comprising a recess. The method comprises providing the substrate comprising a recess in a reaction chamber, depositing inhibition material on the substrate to fill the recess with inhibition material, removing the inhibition material from the substrate for exposing a deposition area and depositing a layer on the deposition area by a vapor deposition process. A vapor deposition assembly for performing the method is also disclosed.
