Abstract

Thin films of ZnO were deposited by reactive thermal evaporation, r.f. magnetron sputtering and PEMOCVD. Crystal structure, surface morphology as well as ultraviolet photoluminescence at optical excitation were investigated. It is determined that ZnO films especially deposited by reactive thermal evaporation exhibit strong ultraviolet luminescence. We suggest that observed luminescence is obliged to recombination of excitons bound on two different defects.
