The heterogeneous integration of miniature photonic components with non-photonic elements such as electronic circuits, micro-mechanical systems or biosensors, is a strategic issue opening the way to the realisation of platforms with multiple functionalities for electronics or bio-sensing. Nanowire devices offer new perspectives for these applications. PLATOFIL aimed to develop a new technology based on active nanowire photonic components assembled in a functional platform. This innovative technology is based on the use of InGaN/GaN core-shell nanowire LEDs and photodetectors fabricated by MOVPE epitaxy. The spectral range targeted was from green to near ultraviolet, opening up a wide range of applications in the biological field. The core of the project was to address the problem of assembling and interfacing nanowire components in a large-scale parallel fashion. This project has fully achieved its objectives in view of the numerous articles published in high-impact materials chemistry and photonics journals (ACS Applied materials & interfaces, ACS Photonics, etc.).
