Abstract
A method for the selective deposition of metals in semiconductor device manufacturing wherein a wafer surface is subjected to a hydrogen species that reduces oxidation on conducting materials while also removing impurities from non-conducting materials. Metals are then selectively deposited upon the conducting materials and not upon the non-conducting materials. It should be understood that the hydrogen treatment step and the selective metal deposition step may be performed simultaneously or by using two separate processing steps.
