Epitaxially Integrated Semiconductor Nanowires for Nanoscale Electronics, Photonics and NEMS

Mass-manufacturable interfacing and integration of functional nanowires in devices and systems is the major challenge in reproducible fabrication of dense and low-cost nano-device arrays. We present an overview of our epitaxial interfacing technique for integrating semiconductor nanowires in nanodevices that not only resulted in highly reproducible and linear ohmic contacts with exceptionally low noise levels but also exhibits excellent bond strength due to a self-welding effect.
