In this work, ZnO thin films were prepared by sol-gel method and the effect of aging time of ZnO sol on the structural and optical properties of the films was studied. The structural characteristics of the samples were analyzed by an atomic force microscope and an X-ray diffractometer. The optical p

✦ Synopsis
Pure and doped zinc oxide thin films have been deposited on sapphire substrates by using the sol-gel method and spin coating technique. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the deposited films exhibit hexagonal zinc oxide structure. Room temperature photoluminescence measurements show the presence of two emission bands. The predominant near band edge ultraviolet emission is at 3.28 eV and a suppressed broad band of deep level emission in the range of 2.1-2.5 eV. The incorporation of nitrogen is indicative of p-type behavior as observed from X-ray photoelectron spectrum of nitrogen in the doped samples. The p-type conduction of Li, N:ZnO may be attributed to the formation of a LiZn-N complex acceptor.
