Selective deposition of silicon using deposition-treat-etch process

摘要

Methods for selective silicon film deposition on a substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface are described. More specifically, the process of depositing a film, treating the film to change some film property and selectively etching the film from various surfaces of the substrate are described. The deposition, treatment and etching can be repeated to selectively deposit a film on one of the two substrate surfaces.
