Abstract
A quantum bridge structure including wires of a semiconductor material such as silicon which are formed by selectively etching a superlattice of alternating layers of at least two semiconductor materials. The quantum bridge is useful as a photo emission device, a photo detector device, and a chemical sensor. The wires exhibit improved electrical conduction properties due to decreased Coulomb scattering.
