High density nanotubes and nanotube devices
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes forming a plurality of pillars on a substrate. Each pillar of the plurality of pillars includes a silicon germanium portion. In the method, a layer of germanium oxide is deposited on the plurality of pillars, and a thermal annealing process is performed to convert outer regions of the silicon germanium portions into a plurality of silicon nanotubes. Each silicon nanotube of the plurality of silicon nanotubes surrounds a silicon germanium core portion. The method also includes exposing top surfaces of each of the silicon germanium core portions, and selectively removing each of the silicon germanium core portions with respect to the plurality of silicon nanotubes to create a plurality of gaps.
