We investigated methods to spatially control InAs nanowires on a substrate using micromanipulators attached to an optical microscope with the goal of producing InAs tips for scanning tunneling microscopy. The wires, which were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) on a GaAs wafer without catalysts, could be picked up individually using a sharp indium tip exploiting adhesion forces. Later, the wires were placed with submicrometer precision onto the desired position somewhere at the edge of a cleaved GaAs wafer or on other substrates, e.g. a perforated Si3N4 membrane [1]. We established a new method to realize ohmic contacts for partly suspended nanowires at the wafer edge with standard electron beam lithography.
