Abstract

The growth of ZnO nanowire arrays on a variety of substrates using a chemical wet process is presented. ZnO seeds can act as a nucleation layer for wire growth and ZnO nanowire arrays can have direct contact with a variety of substrates. The structural and optical properties of ZnO nanowire arrays grown at 90°C are investigated. FESEM and X-ray diffraction observations reveal that the crystalline ZnO nanowire arrays are preferentially oriented along the c axis. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements had shown ultraviolet peaks and a deep level peak. After annealing at 900°C for 1 min. by RTA, the deep level peak became much weaker and the band-edge emission PL was much stronger.
