Various fabrication methods are disclosed. In one such method, at least one structure is formed on a substrate which protrudes outwardly from a plane of the substrate. A beam is used to form a layer of material, at least part of which is in direct contact with a semiconductor structure on the substrate, the semiconductor structure comprising at least one nanowire. The beam has a non-zero angle of incidence relative to the normal of the plane of the substrate such that the beam is incident on one side of the protruding structure, thereby preventing a portion of the nanowire in a shadow region adjacent the other side of the protruding structure in the plane of the substrate from being covered with the material.
