Si nanostructures, including plain, tadpole-like, and chain-like nanowires(see Figure) have been fabricated under well-defined conditions. The morphology of the nanowires and the growth mechanism are shown to be dependent on the growth/substrate temperature, and can be explained by the existence of a spheroidization process.
