Abstract
Methods for depositing tellurium-containing films on a substrate are described. The substrate is exposed to a tellurium precursor and a reactant to form the tellurium-containing film (e.g., elemental tellurium, tellurium oxide, tellurium carbide, tellurium silicide, germanium telluride, antimony telluride, germanium antimony telluride). The exposures can be sequential or simultaneous.
