We report on the investigation of the epitaxial quality of GaN layers forming non-polar m-plane facets grown coaxially around ordered ZnO nanopillars. The GaN layers were grown using Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). For developing a scalable process, in a first step successful position control of single ZnO nanopillars grown on top of ordered GaN pyramids is achieved. At growth temperatures above 800°C and using hydrogen as a carrier gas, the ZnO nanopillars start to dissolve during the GaN growth, leaving hollow GaN nanotubes. A strong and broad luminescence at 2.8 eV indicates the presence of heavily Zinc doped GaN layers. Characterization involves photoluminescence, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and cathodoluminescence.
