Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared on glass substrate by sol-gel dip-coating method. The paper presents the properties of zinc oxide thin films deposited on soda-lime-glass substrate via dip-coating technique, using zinc acetate dehydrate and ethanol as raw materials. The effect of withdrawal speed on the crystalline structure, surface morphology and optical properties of the thin films has been investigated using XRD, SEM and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. X-ray diffraction study shows that all the films have hexagonal wurtzite structure with preferred orientation in (0Â 0Â 2) direction and transmission spectra showed highly transparent films with band gap ranging from 3.78 to 3.48Â eV.
