    摘要: A nano-colonnade structure-and methods of fabrication and interconnection thereof utilize a nanowire column grown nearly vertically from a (111) horizontal surface of a semiconductor layer to another horizontal surface of another layer to connect the layers. The nano-colonnade structure includes a first layer having the (111) horizontal surface; a second layer having the other horizontal surface; an insulator support between the first layer and the second layer that separates the first layer from the second layer. A portion of the second layer overhangs the insulator support, such that the horizontal surface of the overhanging portion is spaced from and faces the (111) horizontal surface of the first layer. The structure further includes a nanowire column extending nearly vertically from the (111) horizontal surface to the facing horizontal surface, such that the nanowire column connects the first layer to the second layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor nanowire is grown laterally. A method of growing the nanowire forms a vertical surface on a substrate, and activates the vertical surface with a nanoparticle catalyst. A method of laterally bridging the nanowire grows the nanowire from the activated vertical surface to connect to an opposite vertical surface on the substrate. A method of connecting electrodes of a semiconductor device grows the nanowire from an activated device electrode to an opposing device electrode. A method of bridging semiconductor nanowires grows nanowires between an electrode pair in opposing lateral directions. A method of self-assembling the nanowire bridges the nanowire between an activated electrode pair. A method of controlling nanowire growth forms a surface irregularity in the vertical surface. An electronic device includes a laterally grown nano-scale interconnection.

    摘要: Methods of creating isolated electrodes and integrating a nanowire therebetween each employ lateral epitaxial overgrowth of a semiconductor material on a semiconductor layer to form isolated electrodes having the same crystal orientation. The methods include selective epitaxial growth of a semiconductor feature through a window in an insulating film on the semiconductor layer. A vertical stem is in contact with the semiconductor layer through the window and a ledge is a lateral epitaxial overgrowth of the vertical stem on the insulating film. The methods further include creating a pair of isolated electrodes from the semiconductor feature and the semiconductor layer. A nanowire-based device includes the pair of isolated electrodes and a nanowire bridging between respective surfaces of the isolated electrodes of the pair.

    摘要: A metal is deposited onto a surface electrochemically using a deposition solution including a metal salt. In making a composite nanostructure, the solution further includes an enhancer that promotes electrochemical deposition of the metal on the nanostructure. In a method of forming catalyzing nanoparticles, the metal preferentially deposits on a selected location of a surface that is exposed through a mask layer instead of on unexposed surfaces. A composite nanostructure apparatus includes an array of nanowires and the metal deposited on at least some nanowire surfaces. Some of the nanowires are heterogeneous, branched and include different adjacent axial segments with controlled axial lengths. In some deposition solutions, the enhancer one or both of controls oxide formation on the surface and causes metal nanocrystal formation. The deposition solution further includes a solvent that carries the metal salt and the enhancer.
