Abstract:
Provided is a method of fabricating a micro/nanowire having a nanometer- to micrometer-sized diameter at predetermined positions on an object. The method comprises: preparing a micro/nanopipette having a tip with an inner diameter (dpt) which is substantially the same as the diameter of the micro/nanowire to be fabricated; filling the micro/nanopipette with a solution containing a micro/nanowire-forming material; bringing the solution into contact with the object through the tip of the micro/nanopipette; and pulling the micro/nanopipette apart from the object at a pulling speed lower than or equal to a predetermined critical pulling speed (vc) to fabricate a micro/nanowire having substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of the micro/nanopipette tip (dpt). The critical pulling speed (vc) is defined by a maximum limit of the pulling speed at which the micro/nanowire to be fabricated has the same diameter as the inner diameter of the micro/nanopipette tip (dpt).
