Abstract:
1. A semiconductor structure, comprising: a semiconductor substrate having a first surface and a second, opposing surface; a dielectric layer formed over at least a portion of the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; at least one recess extending through the dielectric layer and into the first surface of the semiconductor substrate; a plurality of conductive nanotubes disposed within the at least one recess; a volume of supporting material surrounding the plurality of conductive nanotubes and filling spaces between conductive nanotubes of the plurality of conductive nanotubes within the at least one recess; a portion of a nanotube formation substrate material disposed about a periphery of the supporting material within the at least one recess; and a conductive layer formed over the plurality of conductive nanotubes.
