Abstract
Methods for forming transition metal layers on a surface of a substrate are disclosed. Exemplary methods include forming a transition layer prior to forming the transition metal layer. The transition layer can be used to facilitate subsequent deposition of the transition metal layer on high aspect ratio features, while mitigating bending of the features during deposition of the transition metal layer.
