This study will be divided into two parts to be discussed, the first part of the discussion in the form of a one-dimensional (One-dimensional) lateral zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO nanorods: ZnO NRs) morphology, different concentrations on morphology and growth time testimony analysis. The second part is the growth of lateral (Selective grown lateral) gold nanorods of zinc oxide and a half gold detectors (metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors; MSM PDs) constituency, this part of the element for measuring IV characteristics of the light responsiveness analysis. The experiment by lithography process and RF magnetron sputtering (radio frequency magnetron sputtering) system nucleation layer portion of the zinc oxide nanorods grow nanorods position in favor of the constituency has grown as a lateral direction. We were prepared using a low temperature aqueous solution of zinc oxide nanorods laterally and can be freely controlled diameter and length according to the mask is defined to achieve the coupling between the two electrodes, the use of single crystal nanorods substantial increase in the structural characteristics of the electron transfer rate, boost element the properties In this paper, the use of aluminum (Al) as a contact electrode, via X-ray diffraction spectrum analysis (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscope (High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscope, HR-TEM), component analysis in material part (energy-dispersive spectrometry: EDS) and field emission electron microscope (FE-SEM) test lateral nanorods quality. On the morphology analysis, in the case of controlling the concentration of the growth time, the study found that zinc nitrate (Zinc nitrate) ratio of hexamethylene Fourth Ring Ann (HMTA) at a concentration of 0.04, the growth time for the next six hours one of the most perfect shape, flat shape and can be connected to two electrodes complete used as the channel layer element. In light detector (Photodetector) section, found zinc oxide column transverse optical detection element at a concentration of Zinc nitrate: HMTA = 0.04: 0.04 and growth time should have a high degree of light (Responsivity) 6 hours 13.87 A / W wherein the ratio of ultraviolet to visible light are mutually exclusive (UV-to-visible rejection ratio; R380 / R450) to reach 103.63. In any case, in these studies via a simple and low-cost technologies to produce zinc oxide as a base material component in the future with the development of integrated optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEIC, OptoElectronic Integrated Circuits).
