A substrate processing method includes (a) providing a substrate in a substrate processing tool, the substrate containing an exposed surface of a first material layer and an exposed surface of a second material layer; (b) forming a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the substrate in a first substrate processing chamber (SPC); (c) transferring the substrate from the first SPC through a substrate transfer chamber to a second SPC; (d) depositing a film selectively on the first material layer and film nuclei on the SAM in the second SPC; (e) transferring, after selectively depositing the film on the first material layer, the substrate from the second SPC through the substrate transfer chamber to a third SPC; (f) removing the film nuclei from the SAM by etching in the third SPC; and repeating (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) sequentially at least once.
