Patent ID: 8501268

Claim:
A method of forming a material over a substrate comprising performing at least one iteration of the following temporally separated ALD-type sequence: contacting an outermost surface of a substrate with a first precursor to chemisorb a first species onto the outermost surface from the first precursor; contacting the outermost surface with a second precursor to chemisorb a second species different from the first species onto the outermost surface from the second precursor, the first and second precursors comprising ligands and having different central atoms, at least one of the first and second precursors comprising at least two different composition ligands, the two different composition ligands being polyatomic or a lone halogen; and contacting the chemisorbed first species and the chemisorbed second species with a reactant which reacts with the first species and with the second species to form a reaction product new outermost surface of the substrate.
