Patent ID: 7390703

Claim:
A method for through-plating field effect transistors, comprising: patterning a gate electrode material in relation to a substrate to form a gate electrode at a first region of the substrate; depositing a contact hole material at a second region of the substrate separated from the first region such that the gate electrode is spaced from the contact hole material after deposition of the contact hole material, wherein the contact hole material is different from the gate electrode material; depositing an organic compound that is selective with respect to the gate electrode material in relation to the contact hole material so as to form a self-assembled monolayer that is located above the gate electrode material and that covers the gate electrode while leaving at least a portion of the contact hole material exposed, wherein the formed organic compound has dielectric properties; depositing and patterning source and drain contacts proximate the gate electrode without removing the self-assembled monolayer of the organic compound; and depositing a semiconductor material.
