摘要
A complex three-dimensional, nanowire based nanoarchitecture is presented, which can be processed by high-throughput bottom-up procedures without any high-resolution lithography. It combines the benefits of three self-organization mechanisms to produce nanostructures, i.e., the formation of nanoneedles, the droplet formation out of a thin metal film, and the vapor-liquid-solid growth of nanowires. The principle is demonstrated for a silicon based suspended nanowire web. Cell adherence on this assembly was found to be superior to other nanostructures. The possibility of fluid transport beneath the nanowire web enables improved microcatalyst principles and the realization of novel interfaces for biosensing or bioelectronics.
