Abstract	The growth of indium phosphide (InP) nanowires on transparent conductive aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) thin films on polycrystalline copper (Cu) foils was proposed and demonstrated. AZO thin films and zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films, as comparison, were deposited on Cu foils by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Subsequently, InP was grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition with gold catalysts. InP nanowire networks formed on the AZO thin films, while no InP nanowires grew on the ZnO thin films. Morphological, crystalline, and optical properties of the InP nanowires on AZO thin films were compared with those of InP nanowires grown on silicon (Si) substrates. Zinc diffusion from AZO thin films into InP nanowire networks was suggested as the cause of substantial modifications on the optical properties of the InP nanowires on AZO thin films; redshift in photoluminescence spectra and a larger relative TO/LO intensity ratio in Raman spectra were observed, in comparison to those of the InP nanowires grown on Si substrates. In this paper, we proposed and demonstrated a new route to grow semiconductor nanowires on metals that potentially provide low-cost and mechanically flexible substrates and establish a reliable electrical contact by utilizing conductive oxide thin films as a template, which could offer a new material platform for such applications as sensors and thermoelectric devices.
