Abstract
Methods for depositing a silicon-germanium film on a substrate are described. The method comprises exposing a substrate to a silicon precursor and a germanium precursor to form a conformal silicon-germanium film. The substrate comprises at least one film stack and at least one feature, the film stack comprising alternating layers of silicon and silicon-germanium. The silicon-germanium film has a conformality greater than 50%.
