Abstract
A self-repairing interconnection system and methods for forming the system are disclosed. The system includes a metal pathway adjacent a metal-doped chalcogenide material. The system is configured to repair defects in the metal pathway by donating metallic ions from the metal-doped chalcogenide material to the metal pathway.
Claims2
