Abstract

The rationally designed and synthesized semiconductor NWs offer as a platform material with the potential to realize unprecedented structural and functional complexity as building blocks. To utilize these building blocks for nanoscale devices through integrated systems, for example in electronics and photonics, requires controlled and scalable assembly of NWs on either rigid or flexible substrates. In this chapter, we will summarize recent advances in large-scale NW assembly and hierarchical organization with two general approaches. First, organization of pre-grown NWs onto target substrates in one or more independent steps, where distinct NW building blocks can be used in each assembly step, and second, the direct growth of aligned NWs on substrates will be discussed.
