A method for electroplating a gate metal (9) or other conducting or semiconducting material on a gate dielectric (2) is provided. The method involves selecting a substrate (3, 4), dielectric layer, and electrolyte solution or melt, wherein the combination of the substrate, dielectric layer, and electrolyte solution or melt allow an electrochemical current to be generated at an interface between the dielectric layer and the electrolyte solution or melt. |
