The invention discloses a zinc oxide transparent conductive film and a production method thereof. The zinc oxide transparent conductive film comprises a ZnO nucleating layer, a ZnO main body layer and a crown nano-cylindrical ZnO layer which are sequentially attached to the surface at one side of a lining material, wherein the crown nano-cylindrical ZnO layer is provided with a plurality of crown nano-cylindrical surfaces; the span of a crown of the crown nano-cylindrical ZnO layer is 10-1000nm; and the distance between the top of the crown to the ZnO main body layer is 10-600nm. The production method comprises the following steps of: pre-treating a growth substrate; pre-depositing; growing the ZnO nucleating layer; growing the ZnO main body layer; and growing the crown nano-cylindrical ZnO layer. ZnOTCL obtained by using the production method of the zinc oxide transparent conductive film can be used for accurately controlling the growth quality and the morphology except for meeting excellent conductive and transparent characteristics and has the surface morphology of the photonic crystal characteristic and higher optical extraction efficiency; and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) external quantum efficiency can be greatly improved, the considerable development of the LED industry is promoted and the realization on the purposes of environment friendliness, energy saving and sustainable development is facilitated.
