Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin film was synthesized using the low processing temperature facing targets sputtering (FTS) system with change in the low and high H<inf>2</inf>gas flow rates. In this study, an FTS system was adopted, in which the substrate is significantly less thermally damaged by impinging high-energy particles due to the confining magnetic field between the two facing magnetron sources. To monitor the process condition, the substrate temperature change was monitored and an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) diagnostic was performed. According to the structural property analysis, the grain size and crystallization had not changed significantly at a low H<inf>2</inf>flow rate change. The grain size is 15.27--17.97 nm at a low H<inf>2</inf>flow regime (O<inf>2</inf>: 0.4 sccm, H<inf>2</inf>: 0--1.0 sccm) and 16.85--21.36 nm at a high H<inf>2</inf>flow regime (O<inf>2</inf>: 6 sccm, H<inf>2</inf>: 0--30 sccm). In optical property analysis, the transmittance is over 87% and the optical band gap increased with blue shift from 3.22 to 3.28 eV at a high flow regime. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that the OH/ZnO<inf>x</inf>ratio changed from 0.605 to 0.694 at a low H<inf>2</inf>flow regime and from 0.386 to 0.554 at a high H<inf>2</inf>flow regime. Sheet resistance changed from 100 to 10^{-3} M\Omega/sq. with an H<inf>2</inf>flow rate at a low H<inf>2</inf>flow regime and from 10^{7} to 8\times 10^{-2} M\Omega/sq. with an H<inf>2</inf>flow rate at a high H<inf>2</inf>flow regime. From the results, it is suggested that the H<inf>2</inf>flow rates could act as an effective control of the electrical property of the ZnO thin film.
