Assignee: APPLIED MATERIALS, INC.
Field: Semiconductors (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 18:
19. A method of forming a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:
exposing a substrate to at least one first precursor to selectively deposit a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a first surface of the substrate, the substrate having at least one feature comprising the first surface and a second surface;
exposing the substrate to a second precursor to selectively deposit a liner on the second surface;
removing the self-assembled monolayer (SAM); and
optionally, densifying the liner,
wherein the first surface comprises a metal selected from one or more of tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo),
wherein the second surface comprises a dielectric material, and
wherein the first precursor is selected from the group consisting of structures of Formula (iii), Formula (iv), Formula (v), and Formula (vii), , wherein R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, R17, and R18 are independently selected from a C1-C12 alkyl.
