1. A method of depositing a conformal nickel thin film on a substrate by multiple cycles of a vapor deposition process, each cycle comprising alternately and sequentially contacting a substrate in a reaction space with a vapor phase nickel precursor, a second precursor and a third precursor to form a conformal elemental nickel thin film, wherein the second precursor is an organic reducing agent comprising at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of alcohol (—

  • OH), aldehyde (—

    CHO), or carboxylic acid (—

    COOH), and wherein the third precursor is selected from hydrogen and forming gas.
