Synthesis and Morphology of ZnO Films Prepared by Magnetron Sputtering

Article Preview

Abstract:

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on glass substrate by Radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The effect of substrate temperature on the microstructure of the ZnO films has been investigated. Crystal structure and surface morphology of the films were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD patterns and AFM images show that the crystallinity and grain size are increasing with the increase of substrate temperature.
