In this work, we studied the effect of annealing temperature on the structural and solid state properties of AlZnO thin films using Chemical bath deposition technique. The thin films grown was annealed at various temperatures of 100oC, 150oC to 200oC The morphological and structural properties were studied using XRD and SEM, while the optical properties were studied using UVVIS Spectroscopy from where the bad gap, dielectric constant, refractive index, extinction coefficient and optical conductivity were deduced from the theoretical equations.From the result, it is observed that there is effect of annealing temperature on these properties such that the grain size and x-ray characteristics depicted different characteristics at these various temperatures.
