Abstract The ZnO precursor film was prepared by sol-gel method and annealed by the electron beam which replaced the conventional furnace. The accelerating voltage was fixed at 10 kV and the annealing duration was fixed at 5 min. The annealing temperature was within the range of 600 ℃ to 900 ℃ by adjusting the focus beam current and electron beam current . The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) showed that the annealed ZnO thin film was a kind of microcrystalline film, grew along the preferred (002) peak and presented piezoelectric effect. With the increase of annealing temperature, the grain size increased gradually, the crystallinity and orientation of thin film were better, the piezoelectric effect was more and more obvious.
