Abstract:
Methods for selective silicon film deposition on a substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface are described. More specifically, the process of depositing a film, treating the film to change some film property and selectively etching the film from various surfaces of the substrate are described. The deposition, treatment and etching can be repeated to selectively deposit a film on one of the two substrate surfaces.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of selectively depositing a film, the method comprising:\n providing a substrate having a first surface consisting essentially of silicon and a second surface comprised of at least one different material; exposing the substrate to SiH 4  and a hydrogen plasma to deposit a silicon film on the first surface and the second surface, the silicon film having different properties on the first surface and on the second surface; exposing the silicon film to a treatment plasma to modify a structure, composition or morphology of the silicon film on one or more of the first surface or the second surface, the treatment plasma comprising plasmas of one or more of Ar, He, or H 2 ; etching the film from the first surface and the second surface with a thermal etch to remove substantially all of the film from the second surface and leave at least some of the silicon film on the first surface; and repeating the deposition, treatment and etching to form a film selectively on the first surface over the second surface.
