Abstract ZnO thin films have been prepared by atomic layer deposition for ultraviolet photodetection with metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) structure. The innovation of rapid thermal annealing treatment can modulate the carrier concentration of the ZnO thin films, a lowest carrier concentration of 4.4 × 1014 cm−3 was obtained after annealing at 450 °C, resulting in the minimum dark current of 4.5 × 10−8 A at 5 V. Furthermore, these photodetectors demonstrated respectable responsivity of up to 27 A/W, and the detectivity was enhanced to a fairly high value of 8.5 × 1013 Hz1/2/W together with an extremely rapid response of
