1. A method of growing nanoscale structures on a semiconductor substrate, comprising:

  • implanting the semiconductor substrate with ions at a selected energy and a selected dose such that a controlled distribution of nucleation sites embedded in a surface of an insulative layer is formed, the surface disposed away from an interface formed by the insulative layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate, implanted material of the ions in the surface being the nucleation sites arranged to seed growth of nanoscale structures; and

    growing conductive nanoscale structures from the nucleation sites on the insulative layer by depositing material on the nucleation sites of the implanted material in the surface.
