\subsection{Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy (HVPE)}
HPVE involves the reaction of gallium metal with HCl gas at 750 C, which forms GaCl. A nitrogen gas flow then transports the GaCl to a chamber wherein it reacts with ammonia gas directly upon a sapphire substrate to form nanowires.
This Shin's team used this process
formed to form straight nanowires that were perpendicular to the substrate, with the diameters ranging from 80 to 120 nm. The size of the nanowires was able to be modified by controlling the temperature. One of the more unique aspects of HVPE synthesis
is was that fact that growth temperature chamber was kept around 480 C, compared to
temperature temperatures ranging from 850 – 1050 C
as described earlier. for VLS. \cite{Kim_2002} More recently, a team in 2012 managed to optimize the process to create various morphologies of GaN nanostructures. This was attained by varying the ration of HCl and ammonia gas, as well as the temperature in the reaction chamber. The group also utilized a silicon substrate, with is arguably more inexpensive than sapphire ones. \cite{Shin_2012}
More recent advances in HPVE synthesis
has have been developed by the Avit group, who managed to create a growth method that couples high lengths of nanowires with extremely high growth rates. The nanowires grown have
defect-free crystal structures that are similar to previously grown
nanowires, and are defect free as well. nanowires. Another benefit of their process was the usage of a HPVE furnace at atmospheric pressure, which
is high beneficial towards scale up due to reducing would reduce the cost
and design of
HVPE furnaces. HPVE furnaces for scale-up. Therefore, by using HPVE, researchers
are were able to develop GaN nanowires efficiently while avoiding impurities that may
be have been present in VLS and other synthetic methods. \cite{Avit_2014}
