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 8):
The method as recited in  claim 1 , wherein oxidizing comprises flowing an oxygen plasma, oxygen, ozone, or hydrogen peroxide into the chamber.
