The work investigates the selective deposition of cobalt oxide via atomic layer deposition. Methoxysilanes chlorosilane and poly(trimethylsilylstyrene) self-assembled monolayers are utilized to prevent wetting of water and cobalt bis(N-tert butyl, N'-ethylpropionamidinate) from the substrate, thereby controlling nucleation on the substrate and providing a pathway to enable selective deposition of cobalt oxide. Sr and Al are deposited atop the oxide films to scavenge oxygen and yield carbon-free cobalt metal films. Thermal reduction of the oxide layer in the presence of CO and H 2 was also investigated as an alternative. Finally, we demonstrate control over the tunability of the coercivity of the resultant films by controlling the reduction conditions.
