A transistor gate is formed which comprises semiconductive material and conductive metal. Source/drain regions are formed proximate the transistor gate. In one implementation, the transistor gate and source/drain regions are exposed to a gas mixture comprising H2O, H2, a noble gas and N2 under conditions effective to oxidize outer surfaces of the source/drain regions. The N2 is present in the gas mixture at greater than 0 % and less than or equal to 20.0 % by volume. In one implementation, the transistor gate and source/drain regions are exposed to a gas mixture comprising H2O, H2, and an inert gas under conditions effective to oxidize outer surfaces of the source/drain regions. The conditions comprise a pressure of greater than room ambient pressure. Other aspects and implementations are contemplated.
