A method for controlling electric conduction on nanoscale wires is disclosed.
The
nanoscale wires are provided with controllable regions axially and/or radially
distributed. Controlling those regions by means of microscale wires or additional
nanoscale wires allows or prevents electric conduction on the controlled nanoscale
wires. The controllable regions are of two different types. For example, a first
type of controllable region can exhibit a different doping from a second type of
controllable region. The method allows one or more of a set of nanoscale wires,
packed at sublithographic pitch, to be independently selected.
