Atomic layer deposition with passivation treatment
A method includes: 1) performing an atomic layer deposition cycle including (a) introducing precursors into a deposition chamber housing a substrate to deposit a material on the substrate; and (b) introducing a passivation gas into the deposition chamber to passivate a surface of the material; and 2) repeating 1) a plurality of times to form a film of the material.
