The template method uses a hexagonal zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire as the templates. Using chemical vapor deposition, thin layers of GaN are deposited onto the templates, creating a casting from epitaxial growth. The ZnO nanowire templates are then removed by thermal reduction and evaporation. An analysis using transmissio...
