Abstract

The study of the characteristics of materials with a size range of 1–100 nm is referred to as nanoscience. Nanotechnology deals with manipulating the molecular structure of materials to modify their inherent properties and acquire new properties with novel use. The principles of nanotechnology can be incorporated with superconductivity as well as in semiconductors. Superconductivity is a promising physical property of materials, and it has been an intriguing and stimulating subject of research due to its practical application in several fields. The development of new technologies depends on novel materials. One such material is hybrid superconductor/semiconductor nanomaterial, which has now been recognized as an exciting material for different applications due to its exceptional physical and chemical properties. There is a report on implementing capable superconductors in induced proximity of a substantial energy difference in semiconductors when strong magnetic fields are present. It is among one of the objectives for applications of superconductor/ semiconductor hybrid nanomaterials in quantum information technologies in the future. These materials have numerous applications in different fields such as photoinduced superconductors, amplifiers, electric grids, SQUID, quantum computing devices, magnetometers, and various smart technologies including electronics, and the energy sector. These superconductor/semiconductor hybrid nanomaterials could be considered as the foundation of next-generation technology. This mini review aims to compile the fabrication techniques and properties of these hybrid nanomaterials and their potential applications as well as promising avenues of future aspects.
