Zinc gallate $(ZnGa_2O_4)$ thin film phosphors have been formed on ITO glass substrates by a sol-gel spinning coating method. For the formation of the film phosphors, the starting materials of zinc acetate dihydrate, gallium nitrate hydrate and 2-methoxyethanol as a solution were used. The thin films deposited were firstly dried at $100^{\circ}C$ and fired at $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and then, annealed $500^{\circ}C\;or\;600^{\circ}C$ at for 30 min under an annealing atmosphere of 3% $H_2/Ar$. The thin films deposited on ITO glass plates showed the (220), (222), (400), (422), (511), and (440) peaks of spinel structure as well as the (311) peak indicating a standard powder diffraction pattern. The surface morphologies of the thin film phosphors were observed with a firing and an annealing condition. The $ZnGa_2O_4$ film phosphors showed the blue emission spectra around 410 nm as well as the emission spectra in the UV region (360-380 nm).

ZnO thin film had been deposited on the glass 7r sputtering method, and investigated by electrical and structural properties. When the rf power was 188W and sputtering pressure was 1$\times$10$^{-3}$ Torr at room temperature, Al-doped ZnO thin film had the lowest resistivity(1$\times$10$^{-4}$ $\Omega$.cm), and then carrier concentration and Hall mobility were 6.27$\times$10$^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$ and 22.04$\textrm{cm}^2$/V.s, respectively. And undoped ZnO thin film had about 10$^{14}$ $\Omega$.cm resistivity when oxygen content was 10% or more at room temperature. The surface morphology of ZnO thin film observed by SEM was overall uniform when oxygen content was 50% below and sputtering pressure was 1.0$\times$10$^{-1}$ Torr.

Thickness-dependent electrical, structural, and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates were investigated in the very thin thickness range of 20 to 120 nm. A very unusual transition phenomenon, in which electrical resistance increases with an increase in film thickness, was observed. From structural and compositional analyses, this transition behavior was explained to arise from metallic Zn agglomerates dispersed in non-crystalline Zn-O matrix. It was unveiled that film thickness more than 80 nm is required for the development of hexagonal crystal structure of ZnO. ZnO films on PET substrates exhibited high optical transmittance and good mechanical flexibility in the thickness range. The results of this study would provide a valuable guideline for the design of ZnO thin films on organic substrates for practical applications.

ZnO film has been investigated during several decades because it has excellent optical property like a transmittance among the range of visible light for using transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films. But ZnO film has not enough conductivity for applying to TCO devices. Therefore we synthesized platinum nanoparticles and they incorporated into ZnO due to improve the electrical property of ZnO film by sol-gel synthesis method. Also, we fabricated photosensitive ZnO thin film containing Pt nanoparticles by sol-gel process and spin-coating for using photochemical solution deposition. Photosensitive ZnO film could carry out the direct-pattern which allow the etching process to be convenient. The optical and electrical properties of ZnO film with or without various atomic percent of Pt nanoparticles annealed at various temperatures were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy and 4-point probe method, respectively. We characterized the ZnO thin film containing Pt nanoparticles using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

ZnO thin films were grown with different plume-substrate angles by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) to control the amount of ablated species arriving on a substrate per laser shot. The angles between plume propagation direction and substrate plane (P-S angle) were 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$ and 90$^{\circ}$. The growth time was changed in order to adjust film thickness. From the XRD pattern exhibiting a dominant (002) and a minor (101) XRD peak of ZnO, all films were found to be well oriented along c-axis. From the AFM image, it was found that the grain size of ZnO thin film was increased, as P-S angle decreased. UV intensity investigated by PL (Photoluminescence) increased as P-S angle decreased.

A prerequisite for the development of graphene-based field effect transistors (FETs) is reliable control of the type and concentration of carriers in graphene. These parameters can be manipulated via the deposition of atoms, molecules, and polymers onto graphene as a result of charge transfer that takes place between the graphene and adsorbates. In this work, we demonstrate a unique and facile methodology for the homogenous and stable p-type doping of graphene by hybridization with ZnO thin films fabricated by MeV electron beam irradiation (MEBI) under ambient conditions. The formation of the ZnO/graphene hybrid nanostructure was attributed to MEBI-stimulated dissociation of zinc acetate dihydrate and a subsequent oxidation process. A ZnO thin film with an ultra-flat surface and uniform thickness was formed on graphene. We found that homogeneous and stable p-type doping was achieved by charge transfer from the graphene to the ZnO film.

ZnO shows the properties of wide conductivity variation, high optical transmittance, and excellent piezoelectricity. Using these properties of ZnO, the material applications were extended to sensors, SAW filters, solar cells, and display devices. This paper investigated transmittance influencing factors for thin film ZnO grown by RF magnetron sputtering. The growth rate and structural investigation were carried out in conjunction with optical transmittance characteristics of thin film ZnO. The glass substrate temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ exhibited a preferential crystallization along (002) orientation. Transmittance of ZnO film deposited at the substrate temperature of $175^{\circ}C$ showed higher than 92%. An active sputter gas was investigated with a variation of $O_2$ partial pressure from 0 to 10% in an Ar atmosphere. ZnO film grown in 100% Ar gas shows that a reduced transmittance of 82% at the short wavelengths and decreased resistivity value. As the partial pressure of $O_2$ gas increased, the optical transmittance was increased above 90% at the short wavelengths, however, resistivity was drastically increased to higher than $10^4{\Omega}$-cm.

Fabrication of p-type ZnO has already proven difficult and usually inconsistent despite numerous worldwide efforts. Many research groups studied electrical and optical properties P, Li, As, N single doped ZnO thin film. In P-doped ZnO thin film, the reproducibility of p-type conduction with $P_2O_5$ as a dopant source was shown to be relatively poor. In this study, we made P single doped and Li & P co-doped ZnO target. To investigate electrical and optical properties of P single doped and Li & P co-doped ZnO thin film using $P_2O_5$ and $Li_3PO_4$ dopant source respectively was deposited by PLD. The growth temperature was changed 500, $700^{\circ}C$ and various oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing conditions was changed temperature, different gas ambient($O_2,N_2$). We investigate that how to change electrical and optical properties as function of growth temperature, oxygen partial pressure and post-annealing(RTA).

Transparent conductive oxides (TCO) are necessary as front electrode for most thin film solar cell. In our paper, transparent conducting aluminum-doped Zinc oxide films (ZnO:Al) were prepared by rf magnetron sputtering on glass (Corning 1737) substrate as a variation of the deposition condition. After deposition, the smooth ZnO:Al films were etched in diluted HCI (0.5%) to examine the electrical and surface morphology properties as a variation of the time. The most important deposition condition of surface-textured ZnO films by chemical etching is the processing pressure md the substrate temperature. In low pressures (0.9mTorr) and high substrate temperatures ($\leq$$300^{\circ}C$), the surface morphology of films exhibits a more dense and compact film structure with effective light-trapping to apply the silicon thin film solar cells.
