Abstract

A method of forming a hydrophobic surface on a semiconductor device structure. The method comprises forming at least one structure having at least one exposed surface comprising titanium atoms. The at least one exposed surface of at least one structure is contacted with at least one of an organo-phosphonic acid and an organo-phosphoric acid to form a material having a hydrophobic surface on the at least one exposed surface of the least one structure. A method of forming a semiconductor device structure and a semiconductor device structure are also described.
