Abstract:
Methods are provided for fabricating semiconductor nanowires on a substrate. A nanowire template is formed on the substrate. The nanowire template defines an elongate tunnel which extends, laterally over the substrate, between an opening in the template and a seed surface. The seed surface is exposed to the tunnel and of an area up to about 2×10 4  nm 2 . The semiconductor nanowire is selectively grown, via said opening, in the template from the seed surface. The area of the seed surface is preferably such that growth of the nanowire proceeds from a single nucleation point on the seed surface. There is also provided a method for fabricating a plurality of semiconductor nanowires on a substrate and a semiconductor nanowire and substrate structure.

Claim (Index 11):
The method according to  claim 10 , the method further comprising:\n patterning a seed layer overlying the insulating layer of the substrate to form said seed region and expose the insulating layer around the seed region.
