The invention includes methods of forming layers conformally over
undulating surface topographies associated with semiconductor substrates.
The undulating surface topographies can first be exposed to one or more
of titanium oxide, neodymium oxide, yttrium oxide, zirconium oxide and
vanadium oxide to treat the surfaces, and can be subsequently exposed to
a material that forms a layer conformally along the treated surfaces. The
material can, for example, comprise an aluminum-containing compound and
one or both of silane and silazane. The invention also includes
semiconductor constructions having conformal layers formed over liners
containing one or more of titanium oxide, yttrium oxide, zirconium oxide
and vanadium oxide.
