Patent number: 9096429Abstract: The present invention relates to semiconductor devices comprising semiconductor nanoelements. In particular the invention relates to devices having a volume element having a larger diameter than the nanoelement arranged in epitaxial connection to the nanoelement. The volume element is being doped in order to provide a high charge carrier injection into the nanoelement and a low access resistance in an electrical connection. The nanoelement may be upstanding from a semiconductor substrate. A concentric layer of low resistivity material forms on the volume element forms a contact.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: QUNANO ABInventors: Lars Ivar Samuelson, Patrik Svensson, Jonas Ohlsson, Truls Lowgren
