• Zinc acetate was used as a starting material to prepare Zn-solutions from solvents and ligands with different boiling temperature. The ZnO thin films were prepared on Si(1 0 0) substrates by spin-coating method. The effect of baking temperature and boiling temperature of the solvents and ligands on their morphologies and orientation was investigated. The solvents and ligands with high boiling temperature were favorable for relaxation of mechanical stress to form the smooth ZnO thin films. As the solvents and ligands with low boiling temperature were used to prepare Zn-solutions, the prepared ZnO thin films showed (0 0 2) preferred orientation. As n-propanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-(methylamino)ethanol and monoethanolamine were used to prepare Zn-solutions, highly (0 0 2)-oriented ZnO thin films were formed by adjusting the baking temperature.
