Abstract

For the first time, a review of microheater design and its implementation for nanowire synthesis has been investigated. The recent developments on the effect of temperature, precursor flow rate, and synthesis time on the size and size distribution of nanowires have been studied. The essential components of the microheater include a substrate, insulating layer(s), and microheater area. A guide for material selection associated with different components of the device including the heating element, conducting pads, membrane, substrate, and oxidation layer has been addressed. The current progress on electrode patterns and microheater fabrication methods has been evaluated. The insights into microheater calibration curves have been reviewed. Finally, the economic aspects including the microheater market and fabrication costs have been presented.
