  • Patent number: 10468262
    Abstract: Methods for forming a metallic film on a substrate by cyclical deposition are provided. In some embodiments methods may include contacting the substrate with a first reactant comprising a non-halogen containing metal precursor comprising at least one of copper, nickel or cobalt and contacting the substrate with a second reactant comprising a hydrocarbon substituted hydrazine. In some embodiments related semiconductor device structures may include at least a portion of a metallic interconnect formed by cyclical deposition processes.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190249300
    Abstract: A method of forming a transition metal containing films on a substrate by a cyclical deposition process is disclosed. The method may include: contacting the substrate with a first vapor phase reactant comprising a transition metal halide compound comprising a bidentate nitrogen containing adduct ligand; and contacting the substrate with a second vapor phase reactant. A method for supplying a transition metal halide compound comprising a bidentate nitrogen containing ligand to a reaction chamber is disclosed, along with related vapor deposition apparatus.
