Abstract
An exemplary method may include delivering a boron-containing precursor to a processing region of a semiconductor processing chamber. The method may also include forming a plasma within the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber from the boron-containing precursor. The method may further include depositing a boron-containing material on a substrate disposed within the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The boron-containing material may include greater than 50% of boron. In some embodiments, the boron-containing material may include substantially all boron. In some embodiments, the method may further include delivering at least one of a germanium-containing precursor, an oxygen-containing precursor, a silicon-containing precursor, a phosphorus-containing precursor, a carbon-containing precursor, and/or a nitrogen-containing precursor to the processing region of the semiconductor processing chamber. The boron-containing material may further include at least one of germanium, oxygen, silicon, phosphorus, carbon, and/or nitrogen.
