Silicon Nanowire Transistor

A Silicon Nanowire Transistor is a tiny electronic device that acts like a switch or amplifier, using very thin silicon wires called nanowires. These nanowires are only a few nanometers wide, allowing for precise control of electrical current at a microscopic level. By applying a voltage to the nanowire's surrounding gate, it can turn current flow on or off, enabling advanced electronic functions. Due to their small size and unique properties, silicon nanowire transistors are promising for faster, more energy-efficient electronics and future miniaturized devices in computing and sensing applications.
