Abstract
A fraction of a SiNx mono-layer is formed on a GaN layer by exposing the surface to a Si flux. When the sample is heated under vacuum at high temperature (900°C), we observe the sublimation of GaN in the regions uncovered by the thermally resistant SiNx mask. This selective area sublimation (SAS) process can be used for the formation of nanopyramids and nanowires with a diameter down to 4 nm. Also, if InGaN quantum wells are included in the structures before sublimation, InGaN quantum disks with quasi identical sizes in the 3 dimensions of space can be formed using SAS.
