Dynamic scaling and optical properties of Zn(S, O, OH) thin film grown by chemical bath deposition

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/11/116802

Abstract The scaling behavior and optical properties of Zn(S, O and OH) thin films deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by chemical bath deposition method were studied by combined roughness measurements, scanning electron microscopy and optical properties measurement. From the scaling behaviour, the value of growth scaling exponent β , 0.38±0.06, was determined. This value indicated that the Zn(S, O, OH) film growth in the heterogeneous process was influenced by the surface diffusion and shadowing effect. Results of the optical properties measurements disclosed that the transmittance of the film was in the region of 70%-88% and the optical properties of the film grown for 40 min were better than those grown under other conditions. The energy band gap of the film deposited with 40 min was around 3.63 eV.

Keywords: roughness growth behaviour Zn(S, O, OH) optical properties
