In one aspect, the invention includes a processing method, comprising: a) providing a substrate having a high aspect ratio opening therein; b) forming a metal-comprising layer over the opening; c) providing a first pressure against the metal-comprising layer; and d) ramping the pressure that is against the metal-comprising layer to a second pressure at a rate of from about 1 atmosphere per second about 100 atmospheres per second. In another aspect, the invention includes a processing method, comprising: a) providing a substrate having a high aspect ratio opening therein, the opening having a widest portion and a width at said widest portion; b) in a first chamber, sputter depositing a metal to form a metal-comprising layer over the opening, the metal-comprising layer having a thickness that is at least about twice the width of the opening; c) transferring the substrate to a second chamber having a first pressure therein; and d) while the substrate is within the second chamber, ramping the pressure within the second chamber at a rate of at least about 20 atmospheres per second to a second pressure.
