Claim 15:
16. A method for forming an electrical power source component, comprising:
forming an insulating layer on a supporting surface;
forming an electrical power source element on the insulating layer by
arranging a first conductor of a conductive material on the insulating layer, the first conductor having a first facing surface facing away from the insulating layer and a second surface opposite the first surface facing the insulating layer,
surface conditioning the first facing surface of the first conductor to have a work function value in a range of 1.0 eV or less,
forming a dielectric layer having a thickness in a range of 200 angstroms or less over the surface conditioned first facing surface of the first conductor,
arranging a second conductor having a first facing surface and a second surface opposite the first facing surface over the dielectric layer, the first facing surface of the second conductor having a work function value in a range of 2.0 eV or greater, and facing the dielectric layer, the second conductor being arranged to form a gap between the first facing surface of the first conductor and the first facing surface of the second conductor, the gap being in a range of 100 Angstroms or less in thickness, such an electric potential between the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer is generated via electron migration;

forming another insulating layer on the electrical power source element;
repeating the forming the electrical power source element and the forming the another insulating layer steps until a desired stack of a number of electrical power source elements, each sandwiched between opposing insulating layers, is formed as a stacked structure;
electrically interconnecting the stacked number of electrical power source elements; and
encasing the stacked structure of the number of electrical power source elements in an outer insulating material structure.
