Abstract

An electrical interconnect is configured to provide an electrical connection between a first point and a second point. The interconnect includes a specular reflection layer adjacent a conductor layer. The conductor is configured to conduct electrons between the first and second points and the planar specular reflection layer confines the electrons to the conductor through specular reflection. This reduces electrical resistance of the electrical interconnect measured in a direction parallel with the specular reflection layer.
