As typical nanomaterials, 1-D nanostructures or nanowires are characterized by unique physical and chemical properties that differ from their macroscopic counterparts and, in particular, by an enhanced chemical reactivity even at room temperature. This effect has stimulated the development of high-sensitive gas sensors. However, it is worth noting that none of nanowire nanosensors has yet emerged as commercially valuable. As an experimental approach, nanowire nanosensors are commonly fabricated by placing the sensitive nanowires on prepatterned electrodes. The existence of possible technological constraints intrinsically in this method limits the commercialization of saleable gas nanosensors: Firstly, sensitive nanowires must be prepared before placing it on prepatterned electrodes. Thus, if some sensitive materials do not form nanowire, this method will become invalid. Secondly, connecting the nanowires to the electrodes or creating functional heterostructures and interfaces between the nanoire and the electrodes by mechanical gripping, alignment and assembly of nanowires will be a very difficult work. An AFM (atomic force microscope) has to be used in the above processes, which results in a low efficiency. .Actually, there exists another fabrication approach, although discussed in an only limited number of papers. It is the so-called "growth in place" technique that allows fabrication of the nanowire exactly where the nanosensor device architecture requires it, strongly simplifying the process and avoiding excessive handling of the nanowire. In this project, a novel nanowire in-situ growth technology based on nanogap electrode controlled dielectrophoretic assembly is proposed to fabricate high sensitive nanowire nanosensor. In this method, low energy electron beam induced expansion of polymer is used to provide stress for junction breaking in nanogap electrode fabrication processes. By controlling the irradiation area of electron beam, a large array of nanogap electrodes can be formed simultaneously. Nanogap planer electrode with tens of nanometers can form a large local electric field gradient, which generates a strong electrophoresis force and induces rapid assembly of nanopartcle along the direction of nanogap. The assemble nanoparticles will form nanowire in situ eventually. This nanowire nanosensor fabrication method avoid limits in the nanowires gripping, alignment and assembly method, and can form any nanowire structures for high performance integrated sensor at room tempreture. Research contents in this project include: expansion and fracture mechanism of polymer/metal film system under irradiation of low energy electron beam, characteristics of nanopartical dielectrophoretic assembly under the nanogap electric field, and the influence of nanowire characteristics on the sensor performance. This project aims to develop a novel nanowire in-situ forming method, which can fabricate the nanowire nanosensor cost-efficiently.
