Abstract
GaN nanowire (NW) arrays are investigated with the main focus on their uniformity, which is a key requirement for the performance of photonic crystals. The NWs are fabricated by two established top-down approaches which are directly compared and critically discussed in terms of their individual merits and drawbacks. A statistical analysis of NW arrays with a nominal NW spacing of 200 nm and NW diameters of 30–70 nm yields distributions of the spacing (diameter) peaking around their nominal values within standard deviations of 2–6 (3–4) nm, a circularity of 0.88–0.89 and a yield of 99.9%.
