Undoped and silver, lithium and cobalt-doped ZnO thin films have been successfully deposited on glass by chemical bath deposition (CBD). The reaction temperature was 50∘C and the films were annealed at 400∘C for 4[Formula: see text]h in a high temperature furnace. UV/VIS spectrum was used to determine optical transmittance, optical band gap ([Formula: see text] and absorbance values of Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO, Li:ZnO and undoped ZnO thin films. Optical band gap ([Formula: see text] and absorbance values of undoped ZnO, Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO and Li:ZnO thin films were found as 0.0158, 0.0064, 0.2638, 0.0956 and 3.24, 3.13, 3.27, 2.96 eV, respectively. Extinction coefficients and refraction indexes of the films were found to be 0.0096, 0.0038, 0.0068, 0.019 (extinction coefficient) and 1.26, 1.14, 1.66, 2.33 (refraction index), respectively. X-ray patterns of undoped ZnO, Ag:ZnO, Co:ZnO and Li:ZnO thin films were confirmed as amorphous.

Optical Band Gaps

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were grown by nonreactive RF sputtering at room temperature under varying argon pressures (PAr). Their optical band gap was found to increase from 3.58 to 4.34 eV when the argon pressure increases from 2.67 to 10.66 Pa. After annealing at 200°C and 500°C, optical band gaps decrease considerably. The observed widening of the band gap with increasingPArcan be understood as being a consequence of the poorer crystallinity of films grown at higher pressures. Measurements of morphological and electrical properties of these films correlate well with this picture. Our main aim is to understand the effects ofPAron several physical properties of the films, and most importantly on its optical band gap.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) has attracted much attention because of its high optical transmittance approximately ~80 % with a wide band gap of (3.3 eV at 300 K) and a relatively low cost material. ZnO thin films were deposited on plastic substrate using RF powered magnetron sputtering method. The target used is ZnO disk with 99.99 % purity. The sputtering processes are carried out with argon gas that flow from 10-15 sccm. Argon is used to sputter the ZnO target because the ability of argon that can remove ZnO layer effectively by sputtering with argon plasma bombardment. The deposited ZnO thin films are characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis Spectrometer. The analysis of X-ray diffraction show that good crystalline quality occurs at nominal thickness of 400 nm. The optical studies showed that all the thin films have high average transmittance of approximately 80 % and the estimated value of optical band gap is within 3.1 eV-3.3 eV range.

Sb doped ZnO thin films having various thicknesses have been prepared onto glass substrate by using thermal evaporation method. The atomic compositions of the grown films have been determined by Energy Dispersive Analysis of X-ray (EDAX) method. The optical properties were measured by using a UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer (300 to 2500 nm). The EDAX analysis revealed that Sb is doped into the ZnO films. Optical properties showed high absorption coefficient (~105/cm) that direct allowed transition band gap. The optical band gap of the ZnO thin films became reduced due to the doping of Sb.
