Among these oxides zinc oxide ZnO is with the properties optical and electric has attracted the attention of researchers for a long time. In this work Zinc oxide thin films prepared by spray pyrolysis technique. A set of ZnO thin films were deposited with various deposition time, on glass substrate at 350 °C. The precursor solution is formed with zinc acetate in distilled methanol with 0.1 molarity. The deposition time was ranged from 2 to 8 min. The optical properties of those films were examined by ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV). ZnO thin films were highly transparent in the visible with the maximum transmittance of 85% and the optical band gap was found between 3.25 and 3.28 eV.enSpray pyrolysis, Zinc oxide, thin films, optical propertiesOther
