Large-scale, defect-free, micro- and nano-circuits with controlled inter-connections represent the nexus between electronic and photonic components. Through a synergic theoretical and experimental investigation, arrays of parallel ultra-long (up to 0.75 mm), monocrystalline, silicon-based nanowires, and complex, connected circuits are obtained exploiting low-resolution etching and annealing of thin silicon films on insulator. Phase-field simulations, predicting both…
