Abstract:
Methods of depositing a film selectively onto a first material relative to a second material are described. The substrate is pre-cleaned by heating the substrate to a first temperature, cleaning contaminants from the substrate and activating the first surface to promote formation of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the first material. A SAM is formed on the first material by repeated cycles of SAM molecule exposure, heating and reactivation of the first material. A final exposure to the SAM molecules is performed prior to selectively depositing a film on the second material. Apparatus to perform the selective deposition are also described.

Claim (Index 20):
A system to manufacture an electronic device, the system comprising;\n a central transfer station comprising a robot to move one or more substrates between chambers connected to the central transfer station; a pre-cleaning chamber connected to the central transfer station, the pre-cleaning chamber comprising one or more of a heater, radical source or plasma source, the pre-cleaning chamber in fluid communication with an activating agent; a SAM deposition chamber connected to the central transfer station, the SAM deposition chamber comprising a pedestal to hold a substrate, the SAM deposition chamber in fluid communication with one or more reactive gas sources to provide one or more flows of reactive gases to the SAM deposition chamber; and at least one processor coupled to the central transfer station, the pre-cleaning chamber or the SAM deposition chamber, the at least one processor having one or more configurations to control formation of a SAM on a first surface of a substrate, a first configuration to control cleaning of a substrate in the pre-cleaning chamber, the cleaning comprising heating the substrate to a first temperature and exposing the substrate to one or more of a plasma from the plasma source or radicals from the radical source, a second configuration to control a flow of the activating agent to the substrate, a third configuration to control movement of the substrate from the pre-cleaning chamber to the SAM deposition chamber through the central transfer station using the robot, and a fourth configuration to form a SAM, forming a SAM comprising multiple cycles of exposure to a SAM molecule, heating the substrate and exposure to an activating agent.
