Abstract
Methods and precursors for selectively depositing a metal film on a silicon nitride surface relative to a silicon oxide surface are described. The substrate comprising both surfaces is exposed to a blocking compound to selectively block the silicon oxide surface. A metal film is then selectively deposited on the silicon nitride surface.
