1. A method comprising:
- depositing a passivating layer of a first material on an interior reactor surface of a cold or warm wall reactor, in which the first material is non-reactive with one or more precursors used to form a second material; and
depositing a film layer of the second material on a substrate by subjecting the substrate to the one or more precursors, in which at least one precursor has a low vapor pressure.

Abstract
A method to deposit a passivating layer of a first material on an interior reactor surface of a cold or warm wall reactor, in which the first material is non-reactive with one or more precursors used to form a second material. Subsequently when a film layer is deposited on a substrate by subjecting the substrate to the one or more precursors, in which at least one precursor has a low vapor pressure, uniformity and repeatability is improved by the passivation layer.
