Patent ID: 8461044

Claim:
A method of forming a device comprising: providing a substrate including a dielectric region and a conductive region; forming a molecular self-assembled monolayer on the dielectric region and the conductive region; wherein the molecular self-assembled monolayer includes a head group formed on the dielectric region, a linking group connected to the head group, and a terminal group connected to the linking group; removing the molecular self-assembled monolayer from the conductive region; modifying the molecular self-assembled monolayer; selectively forming a capping layer on the conductive region, wherein the capping layer is an electrically conductive material selected from the group consisting of: an alloy of cobalt and boron material, an alloy of cobalt, tungsten, and phosphorous material, and an alloy of nickel, molybdenum, and phosphorous; removing the molecular self-assembled monolayer from the dielectric region; and forming a dielectric barrier layer over the dielectric region and over the capping layer.
