ZnO thin films were prepared onto the glass substrates by the sol–gel spin coating method for various Zn concentrations and at different spin rates. The influence of concentration of zinc and spin rate on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films were investigated. It was observed that the zinc concentration and spin rate influence the grain size and morphology of the ZnO thin films. The optical band gap energy was found to increase with decrease of Zn concentration and increase in spin speed. The photoluminescence peaks show green radiation at ~485 nm. It was also observed that the enrichment of zinc and variation in spin speed influence the intensity of luminescence peaks.

AbstractZinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on Si (1 0 0) and glass substrates by sol-gel spin coating technique. Zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine and isopropanol were used as the sources for precursor solution and the resulting gel was used for the preparation of ZnO thin films. The films were annealed at different temperatures (100 °C to 500 °C) and the effect of annealing on the structural and optical properties was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis spectroscopy were used for the analysis of the films. The XRD results indicated the polycrystalline hexagonal structure of the ZnO films with (0 0 2) orientation. The optical properties of the films were studied using UV-Vis spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 190 – 1100 nm. The optical characterization of the ZnO thin films showed the high transmittance of ~90 % for the films annealed at 400 °C. The films showed the absorbance ~360 – 390 nm and bandgap values of 3.40 – 3.10 eV, depending on the annealing temperature of the films.
