A nanocomponent is a collection of atoms arranged to a specific design in order
to achieve a desired function with an acceptable performance and reliability.
The type of atoms, the manner in which they are arranged within the
nanocomponent, and their interrelationship have a direct effect on the
nanocomponent's reliability (survival) function. In this paper we propose
models based on the notion of a copula that are used to describe the
relationship between the atoms of a nanocomponent. Having defined these models,
we go on to construct a `nanocomponent' model in order to obtain the
reliability function of a nanocomponent.
