Synthesis of Self-aligned Tungsten Nanowires on Single Crystalline Tungsten Substrates

Wu W., Yu Q., Pei S-S, University of Houston, US

Metallic nanowires have attracted much attention due to their unique mechanical, magnetic, optical and electronic properties, and their function as well-defined building blocks for nanodevices.1-3 Tungsten (W), in particular, is of great interest, being promising [...]

Polysilicon Nano-wires Based Nano-device on Silicon Chip: Fabrication and its Application

Mishra N.N., Winterrowd P., Nelson R., Maki G., Maki W.C., Rastogi S.K., Cameron E., Filanoski B., Maki G., Maki W.C., University of Idaho, US

5x5 arrays of six nano-transistor devices were fabricated on p-type silicon/silicon oxide (200nm) wafers with resistivity 1-100 -cm. 50nm of doped polysilicon were deposited and annealed to make nanowires. All nanowires were made with direct [...]

New Properties and New Challenges in MOS Compact Modeling

Zhou X., See G.H., Zhu G., Zhu Z., Zhu G., Zhu Z., Lin S., Wei C., Srinivas A., Zhang J., Nanyang Technological University, SG

As bulk-MOS technology is approaching its fundamental limit, non-classical devices such as multiple-gate (MG) and silicon-nanowire (SiNW) transistors emerge as promising candidates for future generation device building blocks. This trend poses new challenges in developing [...]

Viscosity measurements of PEO solutions by AFM with long nanowires

Hosseini M., Yazdanapanah M.M., Siddique S., Cohn R.W., University of Louisville, US

We recently demonstrated that long metal nanoneedles grown on atomic force microscope (AFM) probes can give very clear measurements of the surface tension, evaporation rate and viscosity of simple liquids. However, in the case of [...]

A simple route to synthesize impurity-free high-oriented SiOx nanowires

Chiu S.C., Li Y.Y., National Chung Cheng University, TW

Impurity-free silicon oxide nanowires were synthesized on a 3 cm x 3 cm alumina plate uniformly by thermal evaporation of a mixture of powder of graphite powders and Si-SiOx particles under argon atmosphere with a [...]

Low temperature synthesis and characterization of large scale ZnMgO nanowire architectures

Shimpi P., Gao P-X, University of Connecticut, US

Large scale hexagonal ZnMgO nanowire array and network with tunable shapes has been successfully synthesized on solid Si substrate, and flexible substrates (Au and Pd coated plastic substrates) using low temperature hydrothermal synthesis technique. The [...]
