Nanowire thin-film transistors: a new avenue to high-performance macroelectronics

Oriented semiconductor nanowire thin films are used to demonstrate the new concept of NW thin-film transistors (NW-TFTs). The concept opens new route to high-performance flexible macroelectronics, which might affect the existing applications as well as new generation of flexible, wearable, or disposable electronics for computing, storage, and wireless communication.
