Abstract:
1. A method for growing a nanorod, the method comprising: providing SiO x for patterning strips and pads; providing a substrate having a GaN thin film; patterning SiO x strips on the GaN film to form a SiO x template; patterning a SiO x pad coupled to the SiO x template; growing GaN through the SiO x template until the height of GaN is slightly higher than that of the SiO x strips; growing the GaN laterally to cover the SiO x template but not cover the SiO x pad; depositing a SiN x layer on top of the GaN; etching a growth opening through the SiN x layer and the GaN into the underlying SiO x strips; and growing a GaN nanorod through the growth opening, the GaN nanorod having a nanopore running substantially through the centerline of the nanorod to the growth opening.
