A method for selectively forming a silicon nitride film on a substrate comprising a first metallic surface and a second dielectric surface by a cyclical deposition process is disclosed. The method may comprise contacting the substrate with a first reactant comprising a silicon halide source and contacting the substrate with a second reactant comprising a nitrogen source, wherein the incubation period for the first metallic surface is less than the incubation period for the second dielectric surface. Semiconductor device structures comprising a selective silicon nitride film are also disclosed. |
