Minimization of the contact resistance between InAs nanowires and metallic contacts
Selected as “Feature Article” in this issue (see http://ej.iop.org/pdf/nano/vol24/na2404-webcover.pdf ). A systematic study of a novel method for making Ohmic contacts to semiconductor nanowires. Of major technological importance for many nanoelectronics applications including topologically-protected qubits and nanowire spintronic devices. Led to licensing of nanofabrication technology to Raith GmbH – currently undergoing field trials (contact Frank Nouvertne, nouvertne@raith.de ). This work central to EPSRC-funded projects on Majorana Fermions (EP/J007137/1; £797,878) and nanowire electronics (EP/H005544/1; £1,661,788). Featured on front cover of New Electronics magazine, 12/6/12.
