Our researchers have invented a method for the synthesis of nanowires in a silicon nanoporous template by electrode position, and a novel technique for the integration of nanowires to transduction surfaces.
The present technology provides a method for the synthesis of nanowires in a silicon nanoporous template by electrode position, and a novel technique for the integration of nanowires to transduction surfaces. Thereby providing a generic, high density, reconfigurable and low cost alternative to conventional packaging schemes.
- Ability to easily control the size and shape and morphology of nanowires
- Elegant alternative to molecular beam epitaxy and microlithography
- High density, reconfigurable and low cost
- Synthesis of long wires (>100 microns)
- Capable of large scale assembly compared to microfluidics
