Essay
Semiconductor nanowire and nanotube materials are ideal, single crystalline
semiconductors that represent a facile route toward sub 100 nm features
that cannot be easily fabricated through lithographic means. The usefulness
of these materials lies not just in the direct miniaturization of micron-scale
devices; rather, novel functionalities can be introduced by understanding
and exploiting the unique electronic and optical properties intrinsic
to these high surface area morphologies. Furthermore, before these materials
can be utilized by the semiconductor industry, reliable, cost-effective
routes for their integration into ultra-high density functional devices
must be developed. My dissertation describes numerous advances in the
field of nanowire and nanotube research including the rational synthesis
of these materials, their incorporation into proof-of-concept electronic,
photonic, and nanofluidic devices, and introduces a novel approach to
enable their large-scale integration into vertically oriented, high
performance field-effect transistor (FET) devices....[full text;
