Abstract
A microelectronic device includes an electrical conductor which includes a graphene heterolayer. The graphene heterolayer includes a plurality of alternating layers of graphene and barrier material. Each layer of the graphene has one to two atomic layers of graphene. Each layer of the barrier material has one to three layers of hexagonal boron nitride, cubic boron nitride, and/or aluminum nitride. The layers of graphene and the layers of barrier material may be continuous, or may be disposed in nanoparticles of a nanoparticle film.
