Abstract
A method for fabricating an interconnect function array includes forming a first plurality of conductive lines on a substrate, forming an insulator layer over the first plurality of conductive lines and the substrate, removing portions of the insulator layer to define cavities in the insulator layer that expose portions of the substrate and the first plurality of conductive lines, wherein the removal of the portions of the insulator layer results in a substantially random arrangement of cavities exposing portions of the substrate and the first plurality of conductive lines, depositing a conductive material in the cavities, and forming a second plurality of conductive lines on portions of the conductive material in the cavities and the insulator layer.
