Polycrystalline zinc oxide films were grown on glass substrates by low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) and metal organic molecular beam deposition (MOMBD) using diethlyzinc and water as precursors. With increasing substrate temperature (TS), preferential growth direction of the LP-MOCVD films changed from c-axis direction to a-axis direction, while that of the MOMBD films changed from random direction to c-axis direction. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the LP-MOCVD films exhibited an orange band emission related to interstitial oxygen atoms, while those of the MOMBD films exhibited a green band emission related to oxygen vacancies. This PL result suggests that the LP-MOCVD films are in oxygen excess condition, but the MOMBD films are in oxygen deficient condition. Photoacoustic measurements revealed that the energy level of the nonradiative center formed in the LP-MOCVD films is deeper than that in the MOMBD films.
