Abstract
A method of placing a functionalized semiconducting nanostructure, includes functionalizing a semiconducting nanostructure including one of a nanowire and a nanocrystal, with an organic functionality including a functional group for bonding to a bonding surface, dispersing the functionalized semiconducting nanostructure in a solvent to form a dispersion, and depositing the dispersion onto the bonding surface.
Claims12
A method of placing a functionalized semiconducting nanostructure, comprising:
- functionalizing a semiconducting nanostructure including one of a nanowire and a nanocrystal, with an organic functionality including a functional group for bonding to a bonding surface;
- dispersing the functionalized semiconducting nanostructure in a solvent to form a dispersion;
- and
- depositing the dispersion onto the bonding surface, such that the functional group reacts with the bonding surface to form a bond between the functional group and the bonding surface.
A method of forming a semiconductor device, comprising:
- forming a bonding surface;
- forming a semiconducting nanostructure including one of a nanowire and a nanocrystal, on said bonding surface, said forming said semiconducting nanostructure comprising placing a functionalized semiconducting nanostructure by:
- functionalizing a semiconducting nanostructure including one of a nanowire and a nanocrystal, with an organic functionality including a functional group for bonding to a bonding surface;
- dispersing the functionalized semiconducting nanostructure in a solvent to form a dispersion;
- depositing the dispersion onto the bonding surface, such that the functional group reacts with the bonding surface to form a bond between the functional group and the bonding surface;
- and
- annealing said nanostructure to remove said organic functionality from said nanostructure;
- and
- forming a source electrode and a drain electrode on said nanostructure such that said nanostructure is electrically connected to said source and drain electrodes.
