Abstract:
1. A method for forming a semiconductor device, comprising: removing portions of a flowable material, a dielectric material, and an electrode material from a semiconductor structure to form at least one recess therein; forming catalyst material on opposing sidewalls of the electrode material within the at least one recess; exposing the catalyst material to a carbon-containing gas to form carbon nanotubes within the at least one recess, at least one of the carbon nanotubes extending from a particle of the catalyst material on a first of the opposing sidewalls of the electrode material to another particle of the catalyst material on a second of the opposing sidewalls, the at least one of the carbon nanotubes physically contacting the particle of the catalyst material and the another particle of the catalyst material; and sealing a mouth of the at least one recess.
