Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present invention provide a three-dimensional resistor with at least two horizontal resistive metal elements connected by at least one vertical resistive metal element. Each of the vertical resistive metal elements surrounds a portion of a first dielectric material where the portion of resistive metal surrounding the dielectric material forms a tube of the resistive metal. More than one vertical resistive metal element with a thickness between one and five nanometers can be present between each of two adjacent horizontal resistive metal elements.
