“…Moreover, ZnO has remarkable physical properties such as a wide optical band gap (3.37 eV), high n-type conductivity, and relatively low electron concentration (10 18 -10 19 cm À 3 ) compared to indium tin oxide (ITO, 10 21 cm À 3 ). [2] Owing to these prominent properties, zinc oxide has been used for the fabrication of room temperature UV laser diodes, [3] piezoelectric transducers, [4] thin film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) filters, [5] light-emitting diodes (LEDs), [6] optical waveguides, [7] thin-film transistors, [8] and nano-generators. [9] Several techniques, including sputtering, [10] chemical vapor deposition, [11] atomic layer deposition (ALD), [12] chemical solution deposition, [13] and thermal evaporation, [14] have been used for the synthesis of ZnO thin films.…”
