  • Patent number: 7679077
    Abstract: A nanodevice (1) for a desired function includes a substrate (11), a one-dimensional nanostructure (12), a functional layer (20) having a desired function, a conductive thin film electrode (30), and an insulating layer (40). The one-dimensional nanostructure is operatively extends from the substrate. The functional layer surrounds at least a portion of the one-dimensional nanostructure. The conducting thin film electrode surrounds/encompasses the functional layer. The insulating layer is positioned between the substrate and the conductive thin film electrode, thereby electrically insulating the one from the other. Further, the nanodevice can incorporate one or more functional units 50, each unit including a one-dimensional nanostructure and a respective functional layer. The units may or may not share the same conductive thin film electrode and/or insulating layer.
