Investigation of ZnO thin films synthesis using RF magnetron sputtering deposition in the Ar/O_2 plasma gas mixture at different O_2 composition and at different growth temperatures is presented. The effect growth process on structural (morphology and orientation films, grain sizes, lattice parameters) and optical (transmittance, absorption, refractive index, photoluminescence) properties are examined. It is shown that synthesized ZnO thin films at a temperature from 200 to 300 °C are polycrystal and textured. Notice that ZnO thin films, which are synthesized using pure Ar plasma gas, are porosity. The optical transmittance and absorption spectra have an absorption edge near 380 nm. The PL spectra of synthesized ZnO films show exciton peaks at 370-400 nm and the wide emission at the yellow and red spectral regions.
