Methods for doping a substrate surface or the interface between two thin films by atomic layer deposition process (ALD) are provided. By blocking some of the available binding sites for a dopant precursor with a blocking reactant, the concentration and uniformity of dopant deposited can be controlled. The blocking reactant may be introduced prior to introduction of the dopant precursor in the ALD process, or the blocking reactant and the dopant precursor can be introduced simultaneously.
