Abstract
The reason behind the majority of difficulties encountered in the integration
of nanoscale objects with microelectromechanical systems can almost always
be traced back to the lack of batch-compatible fabrication techniques at the
nanoscale. On the one hand, self-assembly products do not allow a high level
of control on their orientation and numbers, and hence, their attachment to a
micro device is problematic. On the other hand, top-down approaches, such
as e-beam lithography, are far from satisfying the needs of mass fabrication
due to their expensive and serial working principle. To overcome the
difficulties in micro­nano integration, a batch-compatible nanowire
