Abstract
Zinc oxide is a promising semiconductor material with a variety of applications. Transparent, highly crystalline and crack-free film was deposited on corning glass. A transparent sol of 0.33 mol/l was prepared by dissolving Zinc acetate dihydrate in 2-methoxyethanol using mono-ethanolamine as sol stabilizer. Addition of few drops of water turns the sol immediately into milky gel form. The film was annealed in oxygen environment at 500 degrees C for one hour and characterized by X-ray diffraction, Atomic force microscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Thickness and roughness was measured by Surface profiler.
