1. A device, comprising:
a plurality of lengths of material and at least one junction joining two or more of the lengths of material; and
a mask formed on an underlying layer of the device, wherein the mask comprises a plurality of trenches exposing the underlying layer, each trench corresponding to a length of material, and wherein a respective section of each of at least two trenches either (a) narrows down, or (b) is separated by a discontinuity, at a position corresponding to the at least one junction joining two or more of the lengths of material,
wherein the two or more of the lengths of material are joined over a part of the mask, and wherein the lengths of material comprise selective area grown material in corresponding trenches of the plurality of trenches.
