THE CHARACTERIZATION OF TiO2 AND ZnO THIN FILMS BY SPIN COATING TECHNIQUE VIA SOL-GEL METHOD
Abstract
- Nowadays, the nano-materials have gained great interest all over the world due to high their surface area to mass or volume ratios. In the present study, Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin films were investigated. Zinc acetate dehydrate , potassium hydroxide, methanol (CH3OH), Titanium isopropoxide and 2- methoxy ethanol were used as the starting materials for Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) sol-gel to enhance the thin films. Non-electrolytic glass was also used as the substrate for both thin films. Spin coating technique was mainly applied for fabrication of the TiO2 and ZnO thin films. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was used to compare the characterization of the crystal nature and crystallite sizes of those obtained thin films. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis was also mentioned to monitor the morphology of both thin films. LCR meter was finally used to characterize the electrical properties of TiO2 and ZnO thin films.
