  • Nanowire synthesis
    Patent number: 8269257
    Abstract: A noble metal nanoparticle can be grown on a semiconductor substrate by contacting a predetermined region of the substrate with a solution including noble metal ions. The predetermined region of the semiconductor substrate can be exposed by applying a polymeric layer over the substrate selectively removing a portion of the polymeric layer. The nanoparticles can be prepared in a predetermined pattern. Nanowires having a predetermined diameter and a predetermined position can be grown from the nanoparticles.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 29, 2009
    Date of Patent: September 18, 2012
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
