Abstract
Technologies are generally described for a component, a method to form a component and/or a system configured to form a component. In an example, the method to form a component may include placing a first layer including a conductive material on a support. The method may include placing a second layer, including the conductive material and oxygen, on the first layer. The method may include placing a third layer, including tellurium and oxygen, on the second layer. The method may include placing a fourth layer, including tin and tellurium, on the third layer. In an example, placing of the fourth layer on the third layer may include placing a fifth layer including tellurium on the fourth layer, placing a sixth layer including tin on the fifth layer, placing a seventh layer including tellurium on the sixth layer and annealing the fifth, sixth, and seventh layers to form the fourth layer.
