Abstract

ZnO thin films were firstly prepared on Si(111) substrates using radio frequency magnetron sputtering system. Then the samples were annealed at different temperature in oxygen ambient and their properties were investigated particularly as a function of annealing temperature. The microstructure, morphology and optical property of ZnO films were studied by XRD, AFM, FTIR and PL. The results show that the increase of annealing temperature leads to the improvement in the crystal quality.
