Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for selectively depositing silicon oxide on a silicon oxide surface relative to a silicon nitride surface are described herein. Methods involve pre-treating a substrate surface using ammonia and/or nitrogen plasma and selectively depositing silicon oxide on a silicon oxide surface using alternating pulses of an aminosilane silicon precursor and an oxidizing agent in a thermal atomic layer deposition reaction without depositing silicon oxide on an exposed silicon nitride surface.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 14 , wherein the ammonia gas flow rate is between about 10 sccm and about 100 sccm.
