Hydrothermally Grown ZnO Nanorod-Based Ag–ZnO–Ag UV Sensors on Glass Substrates

Background: ZnO nanorod arrays (ZnO-NRA) are promising materials for the current research. The hydrothermal synthesis is considered as the most promising method for ZnO growth. ZnO-NRA-based UV sensors have been focused upon because of their use in the various fields. In this work, we fabricated zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod array (NRA)-based metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) UV sensors on glass substrates. Keywords: Zinc oxide, hydrothermal, nanorod array, silver, UV sensors, metal-semiconductor-metal structure, glass substrate.
