Abstract
The present invention provides microelectronic electrochemical structures and related fabrication methods. A composite microelectronic structure is provided that includes first and second conductors dielectrically isolated from one another at a crossing thereof, the crossing surrounded by a dielectric material. A portion of the dielectric material around the crossing of the first and second conductors is removed to form a well that exposes respective outer surfaces of the first and second conductors and a molecule is deposited in the well such that the deposited molecule contacts the exposed outer surfaces of the first and second conductors.
