Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method of forming a semiconductor structure, the method comprising:
selectively depositing a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a first surface of a substrate by exposing the substrate to a first precursor, wherein the substrate has at least one feature comprising the first surface and a second surface and wherein the first precursor is selected from the group consisting of structures of Formula (i), Formula (ii), Formula (iii), Formula (iv), Formula (v), and Formula (vii), , wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are independently selected from —R5OH, —CH(OH)R6, and —C(O)R7, R5, R6, and R7 are independently selected from H and C1-C12 group, R9, R10, R11, R12, R13, R14, R17, and R18 are independently selected from a C1-C12 group;
selectively depositing a liner on the second surface by exposing the substrate to a second precursor; and
removing the self-assembled monolayer (SAM),

wherein the first surface comprises a metal, and the second surface comprises a dielectric material.
