Abstract
A method of forming SiN, where 'x' is less than 4 and at least 3, comprises decomposing a Si-comprising precursor molecule into at least two decomposition species that are different from one another, at least one of the at least two different decomposition species comprising Si. An outer substrate surface is contacted with the at least two decomposition species. At least one of the decomposition species that comprises Si attaches to the outer substrate surface to comprise an attached species. The attached species is contacted with a N-comprising precursor that reacts with the attached species to form a reaction product comprising SiN, where 'x' is less than 4 and at least 3. Other embodiments are disclosed, including constructions made in accordance with method embodiments of the invention and constructions independent of method of manufacture.
