Abstract

In this work we present a method for the deposition of periodically ordered, c-axis aligned ZnO nanorod arrays. By using chemical bath deposited films in conjunction with silica templating through nanosphere monolayers, masks suitable for high temperature deposition are created. A vapour phase transport technique is then used to deposit ordered arrays, quickly and inexpensively in a manner ideal for low cost, scalable and reproducible growth on a diverse range of substrates.
