“…There is also a two-step anodization process for the fabrication of highly ordered nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates [78], which is widely used to fabricate 1D and 2D nanostructure materials. An in-plane solid-liquid-solid (IPSLS) growth mode was proposed, where metal droplets are used to absorb amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film and grow in-plane crystalline SiNWs [79][80][81][82]. More importantly, the catalyst droplets can be attracted by simple step edges to guide and grow SiNWs along the edges.…”

Wearable electronics is a technology that closely integrates electronic devices with the human body or clothing, which can realize human–computer interaction, health monitoring, smart medical, and other functions. Wearable physical sensors are an important part of wearable electronics. They can sense various physical signals from the human body or the surrounding environment and convert them into electrical signals for processing and analysis. Nanowires (NW) have unique properties such as a high surface-to-volume ratio, high flexibility, high carrier mobility, a tunable bandgap, a large piezoresistive coefficient, and a strong light–matter interaction. They are one of the ideal candidates for the fabrication of wearable physical sensors with high sensitivity, fast response, and low power consumption. In this review, we summarize recent advances in various types of NW-based wearable physical sensors, specifically including mechanical, photoelectric, temperature, and multifunctional sensors. The discussion revolves around the structural design, sensing mechanisms, manufacture, and practical applications of these sensors, highlighting the positive role that NWs play in the sensing process. Finally, we present the conclusions with perspectives on current challenges and future opportunities in this field.

“…Silicon-tin NWs were also grown by Azrak and coworkers [43] using a procedure called in-plane solid-liquid-solid (IPSLS), which included the use of tin (Sn) as catalyst and the deposition of a-Si:H layers by means of a RF-PECVD reactor. The method presented by the authors involved the evaporation of a thin Sn layer with a thickness of approximately 30 nm, which was then patterned by a lithographic process to form strips of 5 µm lateral dimension and etched by H 2 plasma to remove any oxidation layer and form Sn nanoparticles.…”

Silicon-based thin films and nanostructures are of paramount importance in a wide range of applications, including microelectronics, photovoltaics, large area sensors, and biomedicine. The wide accessibility of silicon and its relatively low cost have driven a continuous improvement of technology based on this element. Plasma technology has been widely used for the synthesis of coatings and nanostructures based on silicon. Moreover, it has made a fundamental contribution to continuous improvement of the physicochemical properties of silicon-based materials and allows the synthesis of nanometric structures with well-defined shapes and morphologies. In this work, we have reviewed the most interesting developments in plasma-assisted processes for the synthesis of Si-based materials, both inorganic and organic, in the last five years. Special attention has been paid to new techniques, or modifications of already-existing ones, that open up new possibilities for the synthesis of materials with new properties, as well as nanostructures with novel characteristics.
