Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for depositing a material within a gap of a substrate in a cyclic deposition process. The methods and systems utilize an inhibitor to preferentially blocks chemisorption of a subsequently introduced first precursor at a portion of available chemisorption sites in the gap to promote deeper penetration of the first precursor into the gap and/or more uniform chemisorption of the first precursor in the gap used in forming a desired material.
