Abstract
Sb-doped ZnO thin films had been successfully synthesized by the sol-gel spin coating method. The results of XRD analysis of ZnO and Sb-ZnO thin films showed a hexagonal wurtize crystal structure with crystal sizes of 21,251 nm and 11.265 nm, respectively. The results of SEM analysis showed that the grain size distribution of the crystallites was round and uniform, compactly covering the substrate and almost no porosity. The percentage of Sb concentration based on EDS analysis was 3.02%. UV-Vis analysis results showed the absorbance and transmittance values of Sb-ZnO thin films were higher than the transmittance values of ZnO thin films. The energy band gaps for ZnO and ZnO:Sb thin films were 3.20 eV and 3.30 eV, respectively.
