Abstract:
1. A nanoscaled electronic device comprising at least one semiconductor nanowire as an active part of the device, the semiconductor nanowire being formed from a substrate, the semiconductor nanowire provided with at least a first contact and one further contact connecting to the semiconductor nanowire at different levels from the substrate, wherein a first external electrode connecting to the first contact, and at least one further external electrode connecting to the at least one further contact, the first external electrode arranged so that the overlap, as seen in the direction of the nanowire, with the at least one further external electrode is minimized; wherein the first external electrode is arranged to extend from the semiconductor nanowire in only one first direction in a first level from the substrate, and the at least one further external electrode is arranged to extend from the nanowire in only one further direction in a second level from the substrate different from the first level.
