    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for etching a molybdenum (Mo) film and systems for performing said method. The disclosed methods comprise, exposing a substrate comprising an Mo outer layer to an oxygen containing reactant to convert at least a portion of the Mo outer layer to molybdenum oxide (MoOx), then exposing the substrate to an etchant that comprises one or more S—X bond(s), P—X bond(s), and Si—X bond(s), where X is Cl or Br, to convert the molybdenum oxide to a volatile Mo containing compound that is removed from the surface of the substrate, thereby reducing the thickness of the Mo outer layer.

    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus are disclosed for depositing a threshold voltage shifting layer comprising an oxygen-free metal sulfide on a substrate, wherein the depositing further comprises, providing a substrate having a surface within a reaction chamber, a) providing an oxygen-free precursor comprising a metal to the reaction chamber to contact the surface, b) providing an oxygen-free, sulfur-containing reactant to the reaction chamber to contact the surface, c) purging the reaction chamber and repeating operations a), b) or c) or any combination thereof until the threshold voltage shifting layer of a predetermined thickness is deposited on the surface.
