| Insulating, semiconducting and metallic nanowires are useful in nanotechnology for building blocks because of their anisotropy and small size. The possible methods to assemble homogenous and heterogenous nanowires with great purity and crystallinity are very useful in fabrication processes. Various approaches have been developed for precise position of nanowires on the substrate allows in the integration of nanoelectronic device. With greater advancement in the field of nanotechnology, ample amount of information is available for fabrication and manipulation of nanowires and their utility in development of functional devices like biosensors has been reported. The current paper, focuses on the development of functional device, assembly of nanowires are reported. A number of approaches like vapour-Liquid-solid and electrodeposition are described. Nanowires used for the fabrication of functional devices have been studied to diminish the inaccuracy and expand the defect tolerance. |
