  • Device and method for forming on a nanowire made of a semiconductor an alloy of this semiconductor with a metal or a metalloid
    Patent number: 9034668
    Abstract: Device for forming, on a nanowire made of a semiconductor, an alloy of this semiconductor with a metal or metalloid by bringing this nanowire into contact with electrically conductive metal or metalloid probes and Joule heating the nanowire at the points of contact with the probes so as to form an alloy such as a silicide. Application to the production of controlled-channel-length metal-silicide transistors.
    Type: Grant
