Abstract:
Methods of depositing a metal selectively onto a metal surface relative to a dielectric surface are described. Methods include reducing a metal oxide surface to a metal surface and protecting a dielectric surface to minimize deposition thereon and exposing the substrate to a metal precursor and an alcohol to deposit a film.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of depositing a film, the method comprising:\n providing a substrate having a first substrate surface comprising a metal oxide and a second substrate surface comprising a dielectric having hydroxide terminations; exposing the substrate to an alcohol to reduce the metal oxide to a first metal and form a protected dielectric surface; depositing a metal film on the first metal selectively over the protected dielectric surface by exposing the substrate to a first reactive gas and a second reactive gas, the first reactive gas providing a metal atom selected from the group consisting of copper, cobalt, nickel and tungsten, the second reactive gas providing a reducing agent consisting essentially of a second alcohol to reduce the metal atom and form the metal film.
