Selective deposition of a sacrificial material on a semiconductor substrate, the substrate having a surface with a plurality of regions of substrate materials having different selectivities for the sacrificial material, may be conducted such that substantial deposition of the sacrificial material occurs on a first region of the substrate surface, and no substantial deposition occurs on a second region of the substrate surface. Deposition of a non-sacrificial material may then be conducted on the substrate, such that substantial deposition of the non-sacrificial material occurs on the second region and no substantial deposition of the non-sacrificial material occurs on the first region. The sacrificial material may then be removed such that net deposition of the non-sacrificial material occurs substantially only on the second region.
