Abstract:
A method of device processing. The method may include providing a cavity in a layer, directing energetic flux to a bottom surface of the cavity, performing an exposure of the cavity to a moisture-containing ambient, and introducing a fill material in the cavity using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, wherein the fill material is selectively deposited on the bottom surface of the cavity with respect to a sidewall of the cavity.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of device processing, comprising:\n providing a cavity in a layer; directing energetic flux to a bottom surface of the cavity; performing an exposure of the cavity to a moisture-containing ambient; and introducing a fill material in the cavity using an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process, wherein the fill material forms in layers parallel to the bottom surface, while formation of fill material on the sidewall is suppressed.
