Macroscopic assembly of indefinitely long and parallel nanowires into large area photodetection circuitry

Abstract

We demonstrate a novel fabrication technique of a photodetection circuitry with light sensitive pixels consisting of hundreds of long and parallel selenium nanowires. Using 10x10 pixel format, alphabetic characters were identified by the nanowire circuitry. OCIS codes: (040.5160) Photodetectors; (160.1890) Detector materials; (220.4241) Nanostructure fabrication
