摘要: Abstract ZnO thin films were prepared on Si(0 0 1) substrates using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique and then their growth properties investigated particularly as function of ambient O 2 pressure during film growth. It was found that the microstructure, crystallinity, orientation optical grown are strongly dependent pressures used. Completely c -axis oriented in low regime (5×10 −4 –5×10 −2 Torr), whereas randomly with much lower crystallinity rougher grained-surface is at an 5×10 −1 Torr. This deterioration quality may be associated kinetics atomic arrangements deposition. Our results suggest important processing parameter should optimized narrow order to grow good PLD process.
