Abstract
High dielectric constant, low porosity and nano-dimension particle of single layer magnesium oxide, MgO and multilayer ZnO/MgO were synthesized at different MgO solution molar concentration by the simple chemical solution technique. The MgO molar concentration was found to alter the properties of both single and multilayer films. Observation reveals the surface morphology change form uniform to agglomerate and porous structure with corresponding increase in molar concentration. The increment in particle size and the formation of agglomerated particle were observed by FESEM (JEOL JSM-J600F). The best prepared dielectric film for both single and multilayer is the film that deposited using 0.4 molar concentration MgO solution due to its high dielectric constant, uniform film, and the particle is in nanometer dimension with nonorod like structure.
