Study of the Optical Properties and Structure Zinc Oxide Thin Films Prepared by Spin Coating Technique
We investigated the structural and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film as the n-type semiconductor. In this work, the sol–gel method used to fabricate ZnO thin film on glass substrate at different solution molarities of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mol/l of zinc acetate dehydrate. The DRX analyses...

| description | We investigated the structural and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film as the n-type semiconductor. In this work, the sol–gel method used to fabricate ZnO thin film on glass substrate at different solution molarities of 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mol/l of zinc acetate dehydrate. The DRX analyses indicated that the coated ZnO films exhibit an hexagonal structure wurtzite and (002) oriented with the maximum value of crystallite size G 69.32 nm is measured wi 0.5 mol/l. The thin film exhibit an average optical transparency is over 80 % at high molarity, in the visible region, found that the optical band gap energy was increased up to 3.25 eV at 0.5 mol/l. The minimum value of Urbach energy of ZnO thin film was achieved with 0.5 mol/l. |
