Abstract

In this Review, I report an update on the with special attention given to silicon nanowires and SiGe. The flap on the different techniques of characterization of the nanowires and the potential applications of nanowires was also discussed. Several methods are explained to fabricate the semiconductor nanowires and particularly the silicon nanowires. The technique VLS (Vapor Liquid Solid) proves to be the most used technique and adapted for the synthesis of nanowires with high efficiency. Silicon nanowires have shown great potential for the realization of new devices for electronics (field effect transistors), diodes, displays, photovoltaic, energy storage, thermoelectricity, biotechnology. Some of its applications nanowires are not currently an industrial product. If the methods of elaboration are numerous, they do not yet combine the mass production and the very small dimensions. The set of physical phenomena observed is not explained or perfectly understood as, for example, the phenomena of electrical conduction, thermal, mechanical, optical and magnetic properties. The stakes are important and the control of the nano-object and the nanowire in particular is crucial

Keywords: Nanowires; thermoelectric; photovoltaic
