The physical properties of ZnO thin films fabricated by controlling thermal oxidation zinc metallic films process have been investigated. Comparative characterization of crystallographical, optical or spectroscopic properties of the samples was performed. The as-oxidized sample by rapid thermal process showed level of crystallinity degraded, higher optical transmittance in the visible and near-infrared region, and lower intensity of the near band edge emission compared to those prepared by conventional thermal oxidation. The overall results suggested that with in-depth understanding of the oxidation mechanism, rapid oxidation process could be employed as an approach to fabricate amorphous transparent oxide thin films from low-melting-point metals, which might have potential advantages in microelectronic and optoelectronic applications.
► ZnO films were fabricated by metal thermal oxidation process.
► Structure and properties effects depend on the thermal oxidation process.
► The samples fabricated by rapid thermal process show level of crystallinity degraded.
► The samples exhibit high optical transmittance in the visible region.
