Claim 12:
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium, including instructions, that, when executed by a controller of a processing chamber, causes the processing chamber to perform operations of:
exposing a substrate comprising a surface structure including a metal bottom surface comprising one or more of tungsten (W), cobalt (Co), or ruthenium (Ru), exposed dielectric sidewall surfaces comprising dielectric material, and a field of dielectric on a pedestal comprising a cooling feature in a first processing chamber to a plasma treatment comprising an oxygen plasma in the first processing chamber; and
setting a plasma power and a temperature of the pedestal to greater than or equal to −20° C. and less than or equal to 60° C. to repair surface defects in the exposed dielectric sidewall surfaces comprising dielectric material and to enhance selective metal deposition on the metal bottom surface.
