Description of Zinc Oxide Evaporation Materials

Zinc oxide (ZnO) evaporation materials possess well‐documented electrical, optical and chemical properties. These properties enable their use in diverse thin-film deposition applications. ZnO exhibits semiconductor and piezoelectric characteristics, thereby making it applicable for transparent conductive layers in various electronic devices and for sensors and actuators.

Regarding electrical properties, ZnO shows high electron mobility and a wide band gap. Consequently, it is used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices such as thin-film transistors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells. Its transparent and conductive nature renders it suitable for electrodes and transparent conductive layers in optoelectronic devices.

Optically, ZnO offers high transparency in the visible and ultraviolet spectral ranges. It also displays measurable luminescence properties, thereby making it appropriate for use in ultraviolet filters, photodetectors and devices that emit light. Its capacity to emit light efficiently is utilised in phosphors for lighting and display technologies.

In addition, ZnO is chemically stable and biocompatible. It is employed in various biomedical applications, for example in drug delivery systems, biosensors and scaffolds for tissue engineering.
