Abstract

The present invention generally relates to nanowires. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to systems and methods of individually addressing nanowires on a surface, e.g., that are substantially upstanding or vertically-oriented with respect to the surface. In some cases, one or more nanowires may be individually addressed using various integrated circuit (“IC”) technologies, such as CMOS. For example, the nanowires may form an array on top of an active CMOs integrated circuit.
