Self-positioned Nanowires offer easy subsequent fabrication.
As grown, NW’s are positioned, oriented, and ready for subsequent processing into sensor devices, transistors, field emission tips.
Proposed, demonstrated, and now further developing the new AMOSFET transistor concept.
This new device concept shows excellent transistor characteristics (Applied Phys. Lett., in press)
