ABSTRACT:
A nanowire capacitor and methods of making the same are disclosed. The nanowire capacitor includes a subrate and a semiconductor nanowire that is supported by the substrate. An insulator is formed on a portion of the surface of the nanowire. Additionally, an outer coaxial conductor is formed on a portion insulator and a contact coupled to the nanowire.
