title: Patterned growth of horizontal ZnO nanowire arrays.
abstract: We report an approach to fabricating patterned horizontal ZnO nanowire arrays with a high degree of control over their dimensionality, orientation, and uniformity. Our method combines electron beam lithography and a low temperature hydrothermal decomposition. This approach opens up possibilities to fabricate ZnO NW array based strain and force sensors, two-dimensional photonic crystals, integrated circuit interconnects, and alternative current nanogenerators.
