Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a zinc oxide transparent conductive oxide film, in particular to an AZO transparent conductive film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) films have been widely studied in the fields of flat panel display, film photovoltaics, energy saving for buildings, household appliance glass and the like because of the high light transmittance and conductivity. The Sn doped In 2O3 (ITO) film has the optimal conductive performance and light transmittance, and is a main current application material of the TCO film. However, since In is a rare metal element, it has little reserves on earth, has a certain toxicity, is expensive, and is difficult to be applied to thick film deposition and application. Fluorine doped SnO 2 conductive glass (FTO) produced on line has been partially applied in the fields of construction and photovoltaics, and is also called on-line Low-e glass, the conductivity of which is slightly poorer than that of ITO, although the manufacturing cost is relatively lower and the optical performance is excellent, the on-line coating technology for manufacturing the FTO glass has larger limitation, because the film layer can only be synchronously prepared in the glass manufacturing process, and the main technical index can not be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of customers. At present, trivalent metal element doped zinc oxide materials, particularly Al doped ZnO (AZO) materials, have the advantages of excellent optical characteristics, wide raw material sources, low price, no toxicity and the like, and are becoming the best choice for replacing ITO and FTO materials.
The main flow of AZO film is prepared by magnetron sputtering, and the method is applied to the field of large-area industrial production, is the film deposition means with the most mature process and the most wide application, and has the advantages of high deposition rate, strong film adhesion, high film coating uniformity, strong controllability, lower cost and the like.
In order to meet the application of the AZO film in the Low-E glass field, the sheet resistance of the AZO film needs to be reduced to below 20 ohms, the conventional method is to increase the thickness of the AZO film to above 800nm, and the problems of increase of the number of targets, increase of preparation cost and the like are easily caused. The Chinese patent ZL201410011278.9 discloses an ultrathin (120 nm) AZO transparent conductive film with high carrier concentration and a preparation method thereof, wherein a Zn layer and an AZO layer are firstly deposited on a glass substrate by adopting magnetron sputtering, the deposited film is subjected to rapid annealing treatment under argon atmosphere, and Zn atoms in the Zn layer permeate into the AZO layer and form Zn gap filling defects after annealing at the temperature of not more than 500 ℃, so that the carrier concentration is improved, the resistivity of the AZO film is further reduced to 3.8x -4 Ω & cm, and the sheet resistance is 32 ohms. However, the following problems still remain:
(1) Hydrogen is introduced in the sputtering process, so that the safety of the sputtering process is poor;
(2) The conventional rapid annealing furnace can only carry out annealing treatment of small-area samples, and cannot meet the annealing treatment of large-area glass samples; the rapid annealing treatment can only produce in a single batch, can not realize continuous rapid production, has low production efficiency, and is not suitable for industrialized continuous production of large-area products;
(3) The production cost is higher: because AZO film is easy to oxidize in high-temperature air, the electrical property is reduced sharply, argon is used as protective atmosphere in the subsequent annealing process, and the manufacturing cost is further increased; and the large-area rapid annealing furnace is too expensive;
(4) The sheet resistance is still high and is 32 ohms, and the application requirement of lower than 20 ohms in the Low-E glass field cannot be met;
(5) As the thickness of the AZO film increases, the light reflection increases, which reduces the transmittance of the film
(6) Diffusion of Na ions into the film in glass at high temperature conditions can lead to performance degradation.
