1. A method of forming an electrical contact, comprising:
depositing, by atomic layer deposition, a non-conductive layer over at least a region of a metal surface; and
after depositing, by atomic layer deposition, of the non-conductive layer over the at least a region of the metal surface, electrically contacting a region of the non-conductive layer with a metal contact structure,
wherein the non-conductive layer comprises at least one material of a group of materials comprising aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, silicon oxide, and/or silicon nitride materials; and
wherein the metal contact structure comprises at least one metal of a group of metals comprising copper, silver, gold, palladium, and/or alloys thereof.
