Abstract
A simple thermal oxidation-etching process was developed to translate vertical silicon nanowire arrays into silica nanotube arrays. The obtained nanotubes perfectly retain the orientation of original silicon nanowire arrays. The inner tube diameter ranges from 10 to 200 nm. High-temperature oxidation produces relative thick, rigid, and pinhole-free walls that are made of condensed silica. This method could be useful for fabrication of single nanotube sensors and nanofluidic systems.Keywords
