Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising a substrate, at least one semiconductor nanowire and a buffer layer interposed between the substrate and said nanowire, wherein the buffer layer is at least partly formed by a transition metal nitride layer from which extends the nanowire, said nanowire being in direct contact with the transition metal nitride layer, said transition metal nitride being chosen from: vanadium nitride, chromium nitride, zirconium nitride, niobium nitride, molybdenum nitride, hafnium nitride or tantalum nitride, wherein the transition metal nitride layer comprises nitrogen, the concentration of which in the stable state of the transition metal nitride varies within a range of less than or equal to 10%.
