Claim 13:
14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the process gas is a first process gas, and further comprising:
after exposing the substrate to the metal-containing precursor, transporting the substrate to a position proximal to a second electrode so that the second electrode and the substrate are spaced apart to leave a second gap therebetween;
while the substrate is proximal to the second electrode, exposing the substrate to a second process gas at a second pressure at or below 0.8 Torr that is different from the pressure of the first process gas, the second process gas being selected from the group consisting of an oxygen-containing gas, a nitrogen-containing gas, and mixtures thereof; and
applying a voltage of at least 700 Volts to the second electrode while exposing the substrate to the second process gas, to induce in the second process gas a second plasma that occupies the entire second gap.
