The effect of deposition temperature of the nucleation layer on the structure of ZnO nanorod arrays was studied. The ZnO nucleation layer was deposited on a Pt (111)/TiO
2/SiO
2/Si substrate at different temperatures by using a pulsed laser deposition method; then, ZnO nanorods were fabricated on top of the nucleation layer by using a hydrothermal method. We found from an X-ray experiment that the direction of the deposited ZnO nucleation layer was the [002] direction. We also found that the thickness and the surface roughness of the nucleation layer increased as the deposition temperature increased. The radius of the ZnO nanorod arrays depended inversely on the roughness of the seed layer; i.e., the radius of the ZnO nanorod was bigger when the roughness of the nucleation layer was smaller.
