ZnO has a hexagonal wurtzite structure in which each cation is surrounded by four anions and vice versa. Non-centrosymmetric ZnO structures are one of the most essential qualities that make ZnO suitable for piezoelectric and pyroelectric applications because of its tetrahedral coordination structure. Optoelectronic devices, sensors, transducers, catalysis, and medicinal devices all benefit from the unique properties of ZnO thin films and nanostructures. In this article, characterization techniques of ZnO thin films were highlighted.
