Over the last decade the research focusing on the fabrication of new devices based on semiconductor nanowires increased strongly. New methods for preparing semiconductor nanowires were extensively developed during this period. It is an interesting fact that the weight center of the research shifted in the last few years from methods of preparation of nanowires towards methods of fabrication of nanowire based devices.

Electrochemical replication of nanoporous membranes, the so called template method, represents a flexible approach towards the fabrication of semiconductor based nanowires. In this paper we will present our results in using this method in fabricating several types of metal – semiconductor – metal nanowires, with the semiconductor segment from the II – VI group. Besides the morphological and structural characterization, transport properties of such complex nanowires will be presented.
