US Patent 7701428 - Integrated display including nanowire selection transistors
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7701428.htmlFlat panel displays currently use thin film transistor technology in the selection of pixels. However, the use of thin film silicon produces limitations on the size and weight of the displays...

US Patent 7473943 - Nanowire FET with overlapping contacts
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7473943.htmlNanosys has developed many designs of field effect transistors (FETs) using multiple semiconductor nanowires to form the channels. This patent focuses on an individual core/shell nanowire structure for FET construction including an asymmetrical double gate arrangement for improved performance...

US Patent 7709923 - Metal-base nanowire transistor
http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7709923.htmlSeveral decades ago metal-base transistors were proposes as a replacement for the purely semiconductor bipolar transistors. This patent from NXP Semiconductor attempts to introduce a nanowire version of the metal base transistor to achieve higher speed switching...
