A system includes a deposition chamber comprising first, second, and third stations, a delivery system providing a substrate to the deposition chamber, a processing system processing the substrate, a controller controlling the delivery system and the processing system, and an etch chamber. The delivery system provides the substrate to the first station, where the processing system performs a nucleation process on the substrate to form a metal nucleation layer, the substrate is then provided by the delivery system to the second station, where the processing system performs a first deposition process at a first temperature to form a first metal layer, the delivery system provides the substrate including the first metal layer metal to the etch chamber, where the first metal layer is etched back using a first gas. The substrate is provided back to the first station, wherein it undergoes a cleaning process using a second gas.
