Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a plurality of intercalated graphene structures and a via. The intercalated graphene structures are disposed over the semiconductor substrate. Each of the intercalated graphene structures includes a plurality of graphene layers each extending substantially parallel to the semiconductor substrate. The via extends into at least a portion of one of the intercalated graphene structures toward the semiconductor substrate, and is in contact with edges of corresponding ones of the graphene layers of the one of the intercalated graphene structures.
