Abstract
The invention relates to a semiconductor device comprising at least two electrodes and at least one nanotube or nanowire, in particular a carbon nanotube or nanowire, the device including at least one semiconductive nanotube or nanowire having at least one region that is covered at least in part by at least one layer of molecules or nanocrystals of at least one photosensitive material, an electrical connection between said two electrodes being made by at least one nanotube, namely said semiconductive nanotube or nanowire and optionally by at least one other nanotube or nanowire.
