Aluminum wires are electrochemically etched into bi-directional anodic alumina (AAO) templates for the growth and contacting of nanowires as three terminal devices. The use of this nanostructured template is shown by a ZnO nanowire surrounding gate field-effect transistor. Fabrication procedures and preliminary device characteristics of this bottom-up approach to nanowire transistors are shown.
