We study the catalyst-free growth of InP nanowires using selective-area metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE) and show that they undergo transition of crystal structures depending on the growth conditions. InP nanowires were grown on InP substrates where the mask for the template of the growth was defined. The nanowires were grown only in the opening region of the mask.

The nanowires were 100-3000 nm in height and 50-300 nm in diameter. The height decreased as the mask window diameter was increased or the growth temperature was increased from 700 to 800 °C.
