Zinc oxide (ZnO) and zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2 ) films were deposited onto glass substrates at room conditions (254 , KOH, and NH4 NO3 were used as chemical reagents for the chemical bath. The species distribution diagrams and the solubility curves were used to find the most adequate chemical conditions for the selective film deposition according to the concentrations and type of chemical reagents. The selective deposition of ZnO and/or Zn(OH)2 was achieved by adjusting the pH of the chemical bath in the range from 11.35 to 12.30, where three regions of growth were determined. The optical bandgap energy measured on the films ranged from 3.312 to 3.41
