Abstract
An area-selective deposition method may include providing a substrate structure including a silicon oxide area and a silicon nitride area; performing a surface treatment on the silicon oxide area and the silicon nitride area of the substrate structure to form a first functional group on a surface of the silicon oxide area and to form a second functional group on a surface of the silicon nitride area; and performing an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process in a chamber in which the substrate structure is disposed, to selectively form a silicon oxide layer on the silicon oxide area among the silicon nitride area and the silicon oxide area. The ALD process may include: supplying an aminosilane-based silicon precursor into the chamber; purging the chamber with a first purge gas; supplying an oxygen-containing source into the chamber; and purging the chamber with a second purge gas.
