Electrical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods for FET applications: article / Nur Adzzida Mohd Azalli

ZnO nanorods have being growth using chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. This is done to investigate the consequences of different annealing temperature and different volume of solutions to the electrical properties of ZnO nanorods. The IV characteristic has been determined by using IV probe measurement system while optical properties have been analyzed by using Perkin Elmer (LAMBDA 750) UV-US spectrophotometer. The surface morphologies of ZnO nanorods were examined by using FESEM JOEL JSM-7600F. The result depicts that with the different annealing temperature, it showed the sample that annealed at 500oC has the highest conductivity (low resistivity). Meanwhile, with the dilferent volume of solutions, it depicts that 50ml gave the conductive behavior compare to the other volumes but for the transparent visible light behavior, 200m1 gave the best result due to highest optical transmittance.
