Abstract

A semiconductor device including a nanostructure, including a planar layer of a III-nitride semiconductor crystal, which layer includes an array of epitaxially grown nanowire structures, and semiconductor material which is redistributed from said nanowire structures in a reformation step after epitaxial growth, arranged to fill out a spacing between the nanowire structures, where the array of nanowire structures and the semiconductor material form a coherent layer.
