Monga woimira wina wamtundu umodzi wa nanomaterials, ma silicon nanowires samangokhala ndi mawonekedwe apadera a semiconductors, komanso amawonetsa zinthu zosiyanasiyana zakuthupi monga kutulutsa m'munda, kutulutsa kwamafuta, ndi mawonekedwe a photoluminescence omwe amasiyana ndi zida zambiri za silicon.Amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu zida za nanoelectronic ndi optoelectronics.Zipangizo ndi magwero amphamvu atsopano ali ndi phindu lalikulu logwiritsa ntchito.Chofunika koposa, ma silicon nanowires amalumikizana bwino ndi matekinoloje omwe alipo kale ndipo motero amakhala ndi mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito msika.Chifukwa chake, ma silicon nanowires ndi chinthu chatsopano chokhala ndi kuthekera kwakukulu kogwiritsa ntchito pagawo la mawonekedwe amodzi.

Ma Silicon nanowires ali ndi zabwino zambiri monga kuyanjana ndi chilengedwe, biocompatibility, kusintha kosavuta kwapamtunda, komanso kugwirizana ndi makampani opangira semiconductor.

Silicon nanowires ndi zida zofunika za semiconductor biosensors.Monga gulu lofunikira la mawonekedwe amodzi a semiconductor nanomaterials, ma silicon nanowires ali ndi mawonekedwe awoawo apadera owoneka ngati fluorescence ndi ultraviolet, zinthu zamagetsi monga kutulutsa kwamunda, zoyendera ma elekitironi, kutulutsa kwamafuta, zochitika zapamwamba, komanso kutsekeka kwachulukidwe.Zida za nano monga ma transistors amphamvu kwambiri, zowunikira ma elekitironi amodzi ndi zida zowonetsera zotulutsa zakumunda zili ndi chiyembekezo chabwino chogwiritsa ntchito.
Ma Silicon nanowires adaphunziridwanso kwambiri kuti agwiritsidwe ntchito mu mabatire a lithiamu-ion, thermoelectrics, photovoltaics, mabatire a nanowire, ndi kukumbukira kosasunthika.
