| Abstract |
| ZnO thin films were spin-coated onto a Zn seed layer that was deposited on a quartz substrate by thermal evaporation. This was found to enhance the structural and optical properties of the resulting ZnO thin film, with a particular improvement in its optical transmittance. Furthermore, by varying the temperature at which the Zn seed layer was thermally annealed, a temperature of 100℃ was identified as being optimal to ensure a maximum increase in the crystallinity and optical properties of a ZnO thin film. On the basis of these results, it is proposed that the use of a thermally annealed Zn seed layer is an effective means of achieving high-quality ZnO thin films. |
