Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for depositing a cobalt layer in features formed on a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, a substrate processing chamber includes: a chamber body having a processing volume; a rotatable substrate support disposed within the chamber body, wherein the substrate support is configured to rotate one or more substrates arranged in a planar array between a first processing position and a second processing position, wherein the first processing position and the second processing position are independently thermally controlled; a showerhead disposed opposite the rotatable substrate support configured to expose the one or more substrates at the first processing position to a cobalt containing precursor; and a heat source disposed within the substrate support configured to heat the one or more substrates at the second processing position.

Claim (Index 7):
The substrate processing chamber of  claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control operation of the substrate processing chamber, the controller including a non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause a method of depositing a cobalt layer atop a substrate, the method comprising:\n (a) exposing the substrate to a cobalt containing precursor at a first processing position to deposit a cobalt layer atop the substrate, wherein the substrate at the first processing position is at a first temperature; (b) rotating the substrate to a second processing position; and (c) annealing the substrate at the second processing position to remove contaminants from the cobalt layer, wherein the substrate at the second processing position is at a second temperature greater than the first temperature.
