Provided are methods of forming a seed layer on a conductive metal layer of a semiconductor device. The method includes exposing the top surface of a substrate to a first reactant and a ruthenium precursor to deposit a seed layer on the top surface of the substrate. The substrate has at least one feature formed in a dielectric layer. The at least one feature defines a gap including sidewalls and a bottom. After deposition of the seed layer, the gap is filled with a metal by a gap filling process.
