Moreover, it is possible to fabricate homogeneous or heterogeneous nanowires with high purity and crystallinity in a parallel and cost effective manner. Strategies have also emerged to position nanowires precisely on substrates to allow integration of nanoelectronic devices. In this chapter, we describe the fabrication and assembly of nanowires to form functional devices. Several fabrication strategies including vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and electrodeposition in nanoporous templates are discussed. We detail advances made in the bottom-up integration of nanowires using patterned growth and directed assembly. Finally, some functional devices fabricated using nanowires are reviewed, and strategies to reduce errors and improve defect tolerance are discussed.
