1. A process of growing a thin film by a sequential vapor deposition process, comprising the steps of:

  • placing a part in a chamber;

    removing gases from the chamber;

    exposing the part to a gaseous first reactant, including an element of the thin film to be formed, wherein the first reactant adsorbs on the part in a self-limiting manner;

    removing gases from the chamber;

    exposing the part, coated with the first reactant, to a gaseous second reactant of radicals, wherein the radicals convert the first reactant on the part to one or more elements, wherein a conductive or insulating thin film is formed; and

    removing gases from the chamber.
