Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing a substrate; forming a lower insulator over said substrate; forming a lower conductor over said lower insulator; forming a diffusion barrier layer to encapsulate said lower conductor; annealing said lower conductor to form a desired grain size; forming a conducting nanostructure over said lower conductor, said conducting nanostructure being discontinuous; arranging said conducting nanostructure over said lower conductor; orienting a longer dimension of said conducting nanostructure; forming a thin dielectric over said conducting nanostructure, said thin dielectric being conformal over said conducting nanostructure and said lower conductor; forming an upper conductor over said thin dielectric; and forming an upper insulator over said upper conductor.
