Abstract:
Pure and doped zinc oxide thin films have been fabricated on glass substrates from the solutions of zinc acetate in isopropyl alcohol by spray pyrolysis. For structural, morphological and optical studies, samples have been characterized by x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and uv-visible spectroscopy techniques. It was revealed that the core factors defining the parameters of zinc oxide thin films are the growth temperature, precursor solution and the concentration of the dopant. The growth temperatures of 350 oC, aluminium doping levels of 2 at. % and precursor concentration of 0.1 molar are desirable to attain zinc oxide thin films with structural, optical and morphological assets as essential for photovoltaic applications.
