Abstract
Method of making a light emitting semiconductor nanowire device includes providing a plurality of spaced light emitting semiconductor nanowires on a growth substrate; applying a dielectric material disposed between the semiconductor nanowires producing a layer of embedded semiconductor nanowires having a top surface opposed to a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface is defined by the interface with the growth substrate; depositing a first electrode over the top surface in electrical contact with the nanowires; joining the first electrode to a device substrate; removing the growth substrate and exposing the bottom surface of the layer of embedded nanowires; depositing a second electrode on the bottom surface of the nanowires so that it is in electrical contact with the nanowires; and wherein either the first or second electrode is transparent to permit light to be transmitted from the light emitting semiconductor nanowires through the transparent electrode.
