A nanowire electronmechanical device with an improved structure and a method of fabricating the same prevent burning of two nanowires which are switched due to contact with each other while providing stable on-off switching characteristics. The nanowire electromechanical device comprises: an insulating substrate; first and third electrodes spaced apart from each other on the insulating substrate, wherein a negative voltage and a positive voltage, varying within a predetermined range, are applied to the first and third electrodes, respectively; a second electrode interposed between the first and third electrodes, a constant positive voltage, lower than the voltage applied to the third electrode, being applied to the second electrode; a first nanowire vertically grown on the first electrode and charged with a negative charge; a second nanowire vertically grown on the second electrode and charged with a positive charge; and a third nanowire vertically grown on the third electrode and charged with an amount of positive charge corresponding to the magnitude of the varying voltage applied to the third electrode.
