A method and system for depositing films on a substrate for copper interconnect in an integrated system is provided. The method includes moving the substrate into a processing chamber having a plurality of proximity heads. Selected ones of the proximity heads is configured to perform at least one of surface treatments and atomic layer depositions (ALDs). The processing chamber is part of the integrated system. Within the processing chamber, barrier layer deposition is performed over a surface of the substrate using one of the plurality of proximity heads functioning to perform barrier layer ALD. In addition, the method includes moving the substrate from the processing chamber, through a transfer module of the integrated system and into a processing module for performing copper seed layer deposition. The processing module for performing copper seed layer deposition is part of the integrated system. Within the processing module for performing copper seed layer deposition, copper seed layer deposition is performed over the surface of the substrate. The integrated system enables controlled-ambient transitions within the integrated system to limit exposure of the substrate to uncontrolled ambient conditions outside of the integrated system.
