ZnO thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by atomic layer deposition. Annealing treatments for the as-deposited films were performed in nitrogen, oxygen, argon and air at 800 °C, respectively. The influence of annealing atmosphere on the structural and optical properties of the ALD-ZnO thin films was investigated by XRD, SEM, and PL. Results reveals that the films annealed in oxygen atmosphere exhibited excellent crystallinity (polycrystalline hexagonal wurtzite structure with a strong (002) preferred crystallographic planes), relatively smooth surface and better luminescence performance, which means that O2 is the most suitable annealing atmosphere for obtaining high quality ALD-ZnO thin films.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) attracts much attention owing to its remarkable electrical and optical properties for applications in optoelectronics. In this study, ZnO thin films were prepared by spatial atomic layer deposition with diethylzinc and water as precursors. The substrate temperature was varied from 55 to 135 °C to investigate the effects on the optical, electrical, and structural properties of the films. All ZnO samples exhibit an average transmittance in visible and near-infrared light range exceeding 80% and a resistivity in the range of (3.2–9.0) × 10−3 Ω·cm when deposited on a borosilicate glass with a refractive index of ≈1.52. The transmittance, band gap, refractive index, and extinction coefficient are rarely affected, while the resistivity only slightly decreases with increasing temperature. This technique provides a wide process window for depositing ZnO thin films. The results revealed that the films deposited at a substrate of 55 °C were highly crystalline with a preferential (1 0 0) orientation. In addition, the grains grow larger as the substrate temperature increases. The electrical properties and reliability of ZnO/PET samples are also studied in this paper.
