Barrier layer formation for conductive feature

Embodiments described herein relate generally to one or more methods for forming a barrier layer for a conductive feature in semiconductor processing. In some embodiments, an opening is formed through a dielectric layer to a conductive feature. A barrier layer is formed in the opening along a sidewall of the dielectric layer and on a surface of the conductive feature. Forming the barrier layer includes depositing a layer including using a precursor gas. The precursor gas has a first incubation time for deposition on the surface of the conductive feature and has a second incubation time for deposition on the sidewall of the dielectric layer. The first incubation time is greater than the second incubation time. A conductive fill material is formed in the opening and on the barrier layer.
