Nkumuntu uhagarariye nanomateriali imwe, silicon nanowires ntabwo ifite gusa umwihariko wihariye wa semiconductor, ariko kandi irerekana ibintu bitandukanye byumubiri nko gusohora imirima, ubushyuhe bwumuriro, hamwe na Photoluminescence igaragara itandukanye nibikoresho byinshi bya silikoni.Zikoreshwa mubikoresho bya nanoelectronic na optoelectronics.Ibikoresho hamwe nimbaraga nshya zifite imbaraga nini zo gukoresha.Icy'ingenzi cyane, silicon nanowires ihuza neza na tekinoroji ya silikoni ihari bityo ikagira isoko ikomeye yo gukoresha isoko.Kubwibyo, silicon nanowires nibintu bishya bifite ubushobozi bukomeye bwo gukoresha murwego rwa nanomateriali imwe.

Silicon nanowires ifite ibyiza byinshi nko kubungabunga ibidukikije, guhuza ibinyabuzima, guhindura isura byoroshye, no guhuza ninganda ziciriritse.

Silicon nanowires nibikoresho byingenzi bya semiconductor biosensors.Nkicyiciro cyingenzi cya semiconductor nanomateriali imwe, silicon nanowires ifite umwihariko wihariye wa optique nka fluorescence na ultraviolet, ibintu byamashanyarazi nko gusohora imirima, gutwara electron, gutwara amashyuza, ibikorwa byo hejuru, hamwe ningaruka zo kwifungisha kwa kwant.Ibikoresho bya Nano nkibikorwa byimbaraga zo murwego rwo hejuru, transitori imwe ya elegitoronike hamwe nibikoresho byerekana ibyuka bihumanya bifite ibyifuzo byiza byo gusaba.
Silicon nanowires nayo yizwe cyane mubisabwa muri bateri ya lithium-ion, thermoelectrics, Photovoltaics, bateri ya nanowire, hamwe nububiko budahindagurika.
