A method for selective deposition of a material, such as copper, to form planarized inlaid device interconnect structures. Once a formation is filled with metallization material, deposition is automatically ceased in situ to form a globally planarized interconnect structure. In one embodiment, a blocking agent layer inhibits material nucleation and deposition at the substrate surface plane until the formation is filled, and then flows over the filled inlaid metallization structure to cease further material deposition and to form a planarized surface without a need for chemical-mechanical polishing. In another embodiment, an enhancement agent is provided within formations to reduce material nucleation time, resulting in selective deposition of the material proximate to the enhancement agent layer within trenches and holes. A nucleation suppressing agent can be included in the deposition ambient to increase nucleation delay and to suppress material deposition over the patterned field regions and on the formation sidewalls. |
