Nanocrystalline ZnO thin Wins were grown on porous silicon (PS) by sol-gel spin-coating met hod. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD). Raman, and photoluminescence (PL) were carried out to investigate the structural and the optical properties of ZnO thin films on PS. The surface morphology of the ZnO thin films on PS exhibits an island structure. Nanosized craters were formed on the surfaces of the ZnO thin films by the post-annealing. lit comparison with the ZnO thin films on Si, a higher and a narrower (002) diffraction peak was observed front the ZnO thin films on PS, and their residual stress was relaxed. By the post-annealing, the crystallinity of the ZnO thin films on PS was further enhanced, and the residual stress was further relaxed. A white light luminescence wit h blue, green, and red emission peaks was observed from the ZnO thin films on PS. and the intensities or the emission peaks became uniform with post-annealing.
