Methods for forming layers on a substrate are provided herein. In some embodiments, methods of forming layers on a substrate disposed in a process chamber may include depositing a barrier layer comprising titanium within one or more features in the substrate; and sputtering a material from a target in the presence of a plasma formed from a process gas by applying a DC power to the target, maintaining a pressure of less than about 500 mTorr within the process chamber, and providing up to about 5000 W of a substrate bias RF power to deposit a seed layer comprising the material atop the barrier layer. |
