Method for alignment of microwires

摘要

A method of aligning microwires includes modifying the microwires so they are more responsive to a magnetic field. The method also includes using a magnetic field so as to magnetically align the microwires. The method can further include capturing the microwires in a solid support structure that retains the longitudinal alignment of the microwires when the magnetic field is not applied to the microwires.

1. A method of forming a device, comprising:
modifying silicon microwires so as to increase the responsivity of the silicon microwires to a magnetic field; using the magnetic field to longitudinally align the silicon microwires; and at least partially embedding the aligned silicon microwires in a polymer to maintain longitudinal alignment of the silicon microwires.
