Large‐Scale Highly Aligned Nanowire Printing

Nanowires (NWs) are 1D confined nanostructures; this geometry gives them unique properties that have been exploited in fabrication of high‐density and high‐tech electronic devices. Current method to produce NWs cannot fabricate large‐scale‐aligned NW arrays with precise control of length, orientation, location, and number of NWs individually; these inabilities hinder application of NWs in practical electronics. This paper describes e‐nanowire printing, a method to print highly aligned NWs on a large scale, and then reviews recent progress in various electronic applications with highly aligned NWs. Finally, future research is suggested to advance nanoelectronics. e‐nanowire printing is a method to print highly aligned nanowires (NWs) on a large scale. This paper describes an operation mechanism of e‐nanowire printing and reviews recent progress in various electronic applications with highly aligned NWs. Moreover, future research is suggested to exploit NWs in fabrication of high‐density and high‐tech nanoelectronics.
