Abstract
Thin film devices and methods for forming the same are disclosed herein. A method for forming a thin film device includes forming a first at least semi-conductive strip located at a first height relative to a surface of a substrate, and forming a second at least semi-conductive strip adjacent to the first at least semi-conductive strip. The second strip is located at a second height relative to the substrate surface, and the second height is different than the first height. A nano-gap is formed between the first and second at least semi-conductive strips.
