This paper presents the preliminary results of using silicon nanowires for the fabrication of electron detectors suitable for scanning electron microscopy. The rather small size of the device allows its location just close to the specimen, hence increasing the detected current with no need to a complex optical device. The results of material variation as well as preliminary results of morphology changes...
