Optical properties of thin (≈100 nm) ZnO films in comparison with thick (≈1 μm) layers deposited on sapphire substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at temperatures from 100 to 300 °C are investigated optical transmittance and luminescence. It is found that growth temperature, the thickness layers, post‐grown annealing influence measured bandgap values low‐temperature photoluminescence. However, bandgaps corrected according Burstein–Moss effect do not depend thickness, whereas an...
