Wired up : Nanowires with organic nanojunctions can be prepared by in‐wire conversion without further device post‐processing. A metal segment of a multisegmented nanowire is converted into an organic semiconductor by chemical vapor deposition (see picture). This low‐temperature method allows good junction quality, straightforward experimental protocols, and compatibility with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor fabrication processes.
