Single‐crystal silicon wires are grown within the pores of microstructured optical fibers via a high‐pressure fluid‐liquid‐solid approach. Precise spatial organization of single crystal semiconductor wires offers a flexible alternative approach to the self‐assembly or lithographic techniques often used for patterning wires for electronics and photonics. This will enable new composite materials that allow for cooperative photonic and electronic phenomena.
