<p>Methods of controllably producing conductive tantalum nitride films are provided. The methods comprise contacting a substrate in a reaction space with alternating and sequential pulses of a tantalum source material, plasma-excited species of hydrogen and nitrogen source material. The plasma-excited species of hydrogen reduce the oxidation state of tantalum, thereby forming a substantially conductive tantalum nitride film over the substrate. In some embodiments, the plasma-excited species of hydrogen react with and removes halide residues in a deposited metallic film.</p> |
