Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods of depositing a material comprising silicon in a gap. The method comprises providing a substrate, the substrate comprising the gap, wherein the gap comprises an inner surface and exposing the substrate to a first plasma having high ion energy to modify predetermined areas of the gap inner surface. The method further comprises exposing the substrate to a second plasma having low ion energy to passivate the modified areas of the gap surface to form passivated modified areas on the gap surface and contacting the substrate with a vapor-phase silicon precursor to chemisorb the silicon precursor on unmodified areas of the gap for depositing material comprising silicon on the unmodified areas. The current disclosure further relates to a method of controlling chemisorption of a vapor-phase silicon precursor on a substrate, and to a semiconductor processing assembly for performing the methods according to the current disclosure.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a layer structure having a target topology profile in a step which has a side face and a lateral face, includes processes of: (a) depositing a dielectric layer on a preselected area of the substrate under first deposition conditions, wherein the dielectric layer has a portion whose resistance to fluorine and/or chlorine radicals under first dry-etching conditions is tuned; and (b) exposing the dielectric layer obtained in process (a) to the fluorine and/or chlorine radicals under the first dry-etching conditions, thereby removing at least a part of the portion of the dielectric layer, thereby forming a layer structure having the target topology profile on the substrate.
