Si Nanowire (Si-NW) arrays were fabricated by top-down method. A relatively simple method is suggested to fabricate suspended silicon nanowire arrays. This method allows for the production of suspended silicon nanowire arrays using anisotropic wet etching and conventional MEMS method of SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) wafer. The dimensions of the fabricated nanowire arrays with the proposed method were evaluated and their effects on the Field Effect Transistor (FET) characteristics were discussed. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the device with nanowire arrays were measured using a probe station and a semiconductor analyzer. The electrical properties of the device were characterized through leakage current, dielectric property, and threshold voltage. The results implied that the electrical characteristics of the fabricated device show the potential of being ion-selective field effect transistors (ISFETs) sensors.
