Massive integration of inorganic nanowire-based structures on solid substrates for device applications

Abstract

Inorganic nanowire-based devices have recently drawn extensive attention as one of the next-generation device architectures. Nevertheless, a lack of mass-production methods has been one of the major hurdles holding back the practical applications of such devices. Herein, we review three promising strategies for the massive assembly of inorganic nanowires for their device applications, which are topically selected: selective growth, selective assembly, and direct printing methods. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are also discussed.
