Abstract

The subject of this paper is the wet chemical synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline ZnO thin films. ZnO thin film was deposited on a zinc plate using a chemical bath of zinc acetate (Zn(O2CCH 3)2) and ethylenediamine (C2N2H 8) at various temperatures. Different substrates were used and their effect on the chemical bath deposition of ZnO were investigated. The effect of pH levels and temperature on the crystalline quality and morphology of the ZnO film are also presented.
