The three-dimensional dielectrophoretic (DEP) assembly of nanowires (NWs) across opposing electrodes is analyzed by using the immersed electrokinetic finite assembly (IEFEM) method, which is based on the immersed finite element method and electrokinetic theory. This new method is of sufficient power that it would be of direct use in modeling DEP-based assembly and thus the manufacturing of nanoelectronic devices.
