Abstract
The aim of this research work is to represent the comparative study of ZnO/TiO

/ZnO (ZTZ) and TiO

(TZT) thin films deposited by sol–gel dip coating on FTO substrates. After deposition, the films were annealed at 500 °C for 1 h. Structural, surface morphology, optical and electrical properties of these films were studied by X-ray diffractrometer (XRD), Raman spectra, atomic force microscope (AFM), photoluminescence spectra (PL) and four point probe technique respectively. XRD and Raman spectra confirmed the anatase, brookite phases of TiO

and cubic phase of ZnO. AFM confirmed the formation of nano particles with average sizes of 18.4 and 47.2 nm of TZT and ZTZ films respectively. According to PL spectra, both the multilayer films slowdown the electron hole recombination rate and enhances the optoelectronic properties of the materials. Also it showed the peaks in the visible region of spectrum. The four point probe results showed that the average sheet resistivity of the films is 450 and 120 (ohm-m) respectively.
