Sol-gel spin coating derived ZnO thin film to sense the acetic acid vapor

author

Abstract:

ZnO thin film of 80 nm thickness was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method on SiO2/Si substrate and subsequently post-annealed at 500°C with a flow of oxygen for 60 min. Crystallographic structure of the sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) method while a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to investigate the surface physical morphology and chemical composition. The sensitivity of the sample was tested to acetic acid vapor with different concentrations (20 ppm, 40 ppm, and 80 ppm) in the temperature range of 200-400 °C. The results showed that the ZnO thin film can be introduced as an acetic acid vapor sensor with a good reliability and detection limit of 20 ppm at the operating temperature of 320°C.

Effects of Cobalt Doping on Optical Properties of ZnO Thin Films Deposited by Sol–Gel Spin Coating Technique

Cobalt (Co) doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films, containing different amountof Cobalt nanoparticles as the Co doping source, deposited by the sol–gel spin coatingmethod onto glass via annealing temperature at 400˚C, have been investigated by opticalcharacterization method. The effect of Co incorporation on the surface morphology wasclearly observed from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. ...

Ferromagnetism in sol-gel derived ZnO: Mn nanocrystalline thin films

This paper reports the growth of Mn doped ZnO thin films by sol-gel technique with different Mn concentration (0-20 %). Structural and vibrational properties have been measured by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The films exhibit crystalline nature with (002) preferential orientation. The crystallite size and lattice parameters have been estimated as a function of Mn concentration. Th...
