ZnO nanostructures such as nanowire-networks and vertical nanorods were epitaxially grown on pre-seeded Si (100) substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method with a solid source. Crystalline ZnO seeds were prepared and controlled by the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment of e-beam deposited amorphous ZnO thin films. Both epitaxially grown ZnO nanostructures and pre-deposited ZnO seeds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Excellent optical characteristics of these nanostructures such as PL line width, linearity of PL intensity as a function of excitation power density were obtained.
