Abstract
A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) device includes a metal oxide layer comprising anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) and one or more nanowires (NW) of an electrically conducting material each formed within a corresponding pore extending through the AAO from a first side of the layer to a second side of the layer opposite the first side, a first electrically conducting layer disposed on the first side of the metal oxide layer, and a second electrically conducting layer disposed on the second side of the metal oxide layer. The nanowires form a via electrically connecting first electrically conducting layer and the second electrically conducting layer.
