Abstract

A method of manufacturing zinc oxide nanowires. A metal seed layer is formed on a substrate. The metal seed layer is thermally oxidized to form metal oxide crystals. Zinc oxide nanowires are grown on the metal oxide crystals serving as seeds for growth. The zinc oxide nanowires are aligned in one direction with respect to the surface of the substrate.
