Abstract:
1. A semiconductor construction, comprising: an oxygen-sensitive material over a supporting substrate; a carbon-containing material over an oxygen-sensitive material; the carbon-containing material and oxygen-sensitive material are together configured as a structure having a sidewall that extends along both the carbon-containing material and the oxygen-sensitive material; a first protective material along the sidewall, the first protective material extending across an interface of the carbon-containing material and the oxygen-sensitive material, and not extending to a top region of the carbon-containing material; dielectric material spaced from the oxygen-sensitive material by the first protective material; the dielectric material having a upper surface adjacent an upper surface of the carbon-containing material; a second protective material over the dielectric material; the first and second protective materials comprising a common composition; and a conductive structure extending through the second protective material and directly contacting the carbon-containing material.
