1. A method of making a coated fullerene interconnect device comprising a layer of at least one inorganic material covering at least a portion of at least one surface of fullerenes wherein:

  • at least two fullerenes are contacting each other to form a spontaneous interconnect; and

    at least one suitable metal contact is found at the site of at least one spontaneous interconnect, wherein said method comprises;

    (a) dispersing a fullerene under suitable conditions to provide a dispersed fullerene;

    (b) depositing at least one inorganic material under suitable conditions onto at least one surface of the dispersed fullerene to provide a coated fullerene;

    (c) isolating the coated fullerene;

    (d) removing at least a portion of the layer of inorganic material in a manner suitable for permitting at least two fullerenes to contact each other to provide at least one spontaneous interconnect;

    (e) optionally, allowing at least two fullerenes of a spontaneous interconnect to separate;

    (f) optionally, allowing at least two fullerenes to contact each other to provide at least one new spontaneous interconnect; and

    (g) depositing a suitable metal contact at the site of at least one spontaneous interconnect and/or one new spontaneous interconnect.
