Optimization of growth conditions of ZnO nano thin films by chemical double dip technique
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano thin films have been deposited by the chemical double-dip technique using aqueous ZnSO4 and NaOH solutions. The ZnO films were characterized in terms of surface morphology by x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), the use of a scanning electron microscope (S...

| description | Zinc oxide (ZnO) nano thin films have been deposited by the chemical double-dip technique using aqueous ZnSO4 and NaOH solutions. The ZnO films were characterized in terms of surface morphology by x-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDX), the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) for surface morphology. The films exhibited a smooth morphology. The chemical states of oxygen and zinc in the ZnO nano thin films were also investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In the present investigations, highly textured ZnO thin films with a preferential (002)-orientation were prepared on glass substrates. The deposition conditions were optimized to obtain device-quality films for practical applications. |
