    Abstract

    Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires (NWs) were grown on ZnO thin films by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at 600 °C. The ZnO thin films were prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at substrate temperatures of 400 - 700 °C at 4 Torr. High-resolution X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the ZnO thin film had a wurtzite structure, with better crystal quality when prepared at higher temperature. The ZnO thin film on sapphire had a uniform 0.1 μm thickness and root-mean-square roughness of 4 - 7 nm in 1 × 1 μm2 areas determined by field-emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, respectively.
