    Abstract: The current disclosure relates to processes for selectively etching material from one surface of a semiconductor substrate over another surface of the semiconductor substrate. The disclosure further relates to assemblies for etching material from a surface of a semiconductor substrate. In the processes, a substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface is provided into a reaction chamber, an etch-priming reactant is provided into the reaction chamber in vapor phase; reactive species generated from plasma are provided into the reaction chamber for selectively etching material from the first surface. The etch-priming reactant is deposited on the first surface and the etch-priming reactant comprises a halogenated hydrocarbon. The halogenated hydrocarbon may comprise a head group and a tail group, and one or both of them may be halogenated.

    Abstract: The current disclosure relates to methods of depositing transition metal on a substrate. The disclosure further relates to a transition metal layer, to a structure and to a device comprising a transition metal layer. In the method, transition metal is deposited on a substrate by a cyclical deposition process, and the method comprises providing a substrate in a reaction chamber, providing a transition metal precursor to the reaction chamber in a vapor phase and providing a reactant to the reaction chamber in a vapor phase to form transition metal on the substrate. The transition metal precursor comprises a transition metal from any of groups 4 to 6, and the reactant comprises a group 14 element selected from Si, Ge or Sn.

    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.
