Abstract
Methods of depositing a passivation layer on a semiconductor substrate are described. The methods may include exposing a semiconductor substrate having a metal layer thereon to a precursor to form a passivation layer on the metal layer, the precursor having a general formula (I), where exposing the semiconductor substrate to the precursor may include a transmetallation process. The method may further include purging the semiconductor substrate.
