Abstract

A getter structure and method wherein a layer of seed material is deposited on a predetermined region of a surface of a structure under conditions to form a plurality of nucleation sites on a surface of the structure. The nucleation sites have an average height over the surface area of the predetermined region of less than one molecule thick. Subsequently a getter material is deposited over the surface to form a plurality of getter material members projecting outwardly from the nucleation sites.
