METHODS FOR FABRICATING AND USING NANOWIRES

摘要

Methods, apparatuses, systems, and devices relating to fabricating one or more nanowires are disclosed. One method for fabricating a nanowire includes: selecting a particular wavelength of electromagnetic radiation for absorption for a nanowire; determining a diameter corresponding to the particular wavelength; and fabricating a nanowire having the determined diameter. According to another embodiment, one or more nanowires may be fabricated in an array, each having the same or different determined diameters. An image sensor and method of imaging using such an array are also disclosed.

主权项

1. A nanowire on a substrate, comprising the nanowire and the substrate, wherein:
the nanowire has a determined diameter; wherein the determined diameter corresponds to a particular wavelength of electromagnetic radiation for absorption of the nanowire; wherein the nanowire is essentially vertical to the substrate;. wherein the nanowire with the determined diameter has an absorption peak of electromagnetic radiation at the particular wavelength.
