Abstract

In this research, NiO/ZnO heterojunction thin films were fabricated on a ITO substrate by a sol–gel technique. The as-prepared thin films were annealed at various temperatures. The effect of annealing temperature on structural, surface morphology and electrical properties of thin films was investigated by XRD, FESEM and I-V characteristic measurement. The XRD results revealed that NiO/ZnO thin film was polycrystalline and exhibited better crystallization when annealing temperature was increased. The current-voltage curve of all sample exhibited the diode behaviour.
