Crystallization of ZnO thin films via thermal dissipation annealing method for high-performance UV photodetector with ultrahigh response speed

Abstract ZnO-based ultraviolet (UV) photodetector can be easily fabricated by using sol–gel spin-coating method, however, the crystallization of amorphous state ZnO thin films is necessary to fabricate high performance UV photodetector. Thus, we devised a thermal dissipation annealing (TDA) method i...
