Effect Of Substrates And Film Thickness On The Properties Of Zno Thin Films Grown By Chemical Bath Deposition

Abstract

Zinc oxide(ZnO) is a promising material in nanotechnology applications, for example in nano-electronics and nanorobotic technology. The objectives foe our
work are to study the effect of thickness on the structural, optical, electrical and mechanical properties and various susbstrates have been investigated of ZnO
thin films. ZnO thin films were coated using chemical bath technique for various thickness. All the coated films were characertized by XRD, PL and electrical
measurements. The results are discussed herein. As part of our characterization process, XRD and FE-SEM were used to characterize the structural properties,
current-voltage measeurements for the electrical properties, and UV-Vis spectra and photoluminescence spectra for the optical of the ZnO thin films.
