Abstract

A new template method for large-scale fabrication of hexagonally patterned and vertically aligned ZnO nanowires is demonstrated. The process involves a novel type of metal membrane, a gold catalyst template produced using the membrane as deposition mask, and the catalyst-guided growth of ZnO nanowires. The metal membranes, composed of hexagonal nanohole arrays, are electrochemically replicated from ordered porous alumina. The ZnO nanowires obtained have a uniform alignment perpendicular to the GaN surface and a distribution according to the pattern defined by the nanohole membrane. Such periodically arranged ZnO nanowires have potential applications as sensor arrays and piezoelectric transducers.
