Abstract

This study demonstrates the fabrication of metallic nanowires through AAO that were achieved from anodized aluminum pads. Standard microelectronic fabrication techniques were employed that would enable easy integration of the nanostructures with routine silicon manufacturing. Arrays of 60 nm diameter, 5 μm-long Ni nanowires were electrodeposited selectively in 50 μm anodized Al circular pads. A Sn solder layer was deposited on top of the nanowires for good electrical contact. The nanowires micropad showed ohmic behavior and the resistance measured was a few mΩ These metallic nanowires micropads may be attractive due to their potential application as off-chip interconnections.
