| Abstract: | A common application of nanometer-sized gold particles is as seed particles for growth of semiconductor nanowires, which are
believed to act as highly promising building blocks in future electronic devices. In a majority of the reports of successful
nanowire growth, gold has been the seed particle material of choice. In this review article we identify the different types
of gold particles used to initiate nanowire growth, namely gold particles made from thin films, gold particles defined by
lithographic methods, colloidal gold particles and aerosol-generated gold particles. The production and deposition methods
are described and the advantages and disadvantages of the particle types are discussed. In addition we discuss different properties
that seem to make gold the most universal material for nanowire seed particles. |
