The unique structure of ZnO films obtained from aqueous solution method was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate that unique morphology and structure of the region where precipitation on the substrate may occur in parallel with other regions. This is accompanied by a decrease of the electrical resistivity in the absorbed region. A possible mechanism for the resistivity transformation was discussed.
