Abstract:
ZnO thin films were coated on amorphous glass substrate at various temperatures in the
range 160-500 0C by spray pyrolysis method. The as deposited films were characterised by
using XRD and SEM. Wurtzite phase of ZnO was formed at a substrate temperature of
400 0C, highly oriented (002) phase was developed with respect to increase of substrate
temperature from 450 to 500 0C. Morphological and growth mode of these films were
analyzed with respect to structural orientation of films from wurtzite to highly (002)
oriented phase. Present study reveals that substrate temperature was one of the important
parameters which determine the crystalline quality, population of defects, grain size,
orientation and morphology of the films
