Abstract:
A method of improving selectivity of a metal in a selective deposition process. A pre-treatment process for the metal modifies the metal surface, and includes first reducing the metal to remove organic contamination from the metal followed by oxidation of the metal to allow a monolayer of a metal oxide to grow on the surface. This modification of the metal allows inhibitor molecules to adsorb on the metal oxide monolayer to improve selectivity.

Claim (Index 2):
The method as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising depositing inhibitor molecules that are selective only to the metal and allowing the inhibitor molecules to adsorb on the monolayer of metal oxide after allowing the monolayer to grow.
