Patent ID: 7214618

Claim:
A method of forming a conductive layer on a semiconductor device, the method comprising: (i) positioning a semiconductor device within a chemical vapor deposition chamber; (ii) introducing a conductive precursor gas and a reactant gas into the chemical vapor deposition chamber simultaneously for a first period of time, wherein the conductive precursor gas comprises an organic compound. wherein a conductive layer comprising said organic compound is formed on the semiconductor device; (iii) monitoring the rate of deposition of the conductive layer; and (iv) halting the supply of conductive precursor gas upon determining that the rate of deposition of the conductive layer is less than a desired threshold: (v) continuing introducing the reactant gas into the chemical vapor deposition chamber for a second period of time, wherein the reactant gas removes the organic compounds on the conductive layer; (vi) re-introducing the conductive precursor gas into the chemical vapor deposition chamber; (vii) continuing acts (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi) until the conductive layer of a desired thickness is achieved.
