Abstract

A method can comprise providing a zinc precursor to a reaction chamber comprising a substrate disposed therein; providing an oxygen species to the reaction chamber; forming a zinc oxide layer on the substrate in response to providing the zinc precursor and providing the oxygen species; and/or mitigating agglomeration of the zinc oxide layer. Mitigating agglomeration of the zinc oxide layer can comprise forming a capping layer on an outer surface of the zinc oxide layer such that the outer surface of the zinc oxide layer is not exposed to ambient oxygen, doping the zinc oxide layer with another material, and/or applying a post-deposition treatment to the zinc oxide layer.
