Abstract: C1.00146 : Effect of deposition temperature on the properties of ZnO thin films
Author:
The effect of deposition temperature on the surface morphology of
zinc oxide
thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis has been studied. The surface
morphology of the films was studied by using X-ray diffraction
(XRD),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy
(AFM). The
effects of substrate temperature during deposition on the
structure with
optical properties of ZnO thin films were determined. Surface
parameters
were calculated and compared for different thin films. It showed
that the
films were polycrystalline with hexagonal wurtzite structure and
$c$-axis was
perpendicular to the substrate. The grain size of the films
changed from 240
to 440 nm with different substrate deposition temperatures. It
was found
that growth temperature has significantly affected the
morphological (grains
size, surface roughness) as well as optical properties of ZnO films.
