Communications from the Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory 1995 Fabrication of large arrays of metallic nanowires on V-grooved substrates. Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Published in Appl. Large arrays of Au nanowires down to 50 nm in width are fabricated on V-grooved InP substrates. Next, the patterned substrates are covered with a thin Au film, which is subsequently structured into nanowires using a well controlled wet etching process.
Initial characterization confirms that the wires are electrically continuous.
