Abstract

The invention relates to a transparent conductive oxide film with a multilayer modulation doping and pertains to structure design of a semiconductor apparatus. At the back of the B1 in a ZnO buffer layer, a modulation-doped layer with a repeated periodicity is added (comprising an MgxZn<1-x>O: Al doping layer D, an MgxZn<1-x>O barrier layer B and a ZnO: Oy modulation layer M). The thickness of the buffer is 10-20nm and the thickness of the doping layer D and the modulation layer M are both 2-6nm and the thickness of the barrier layer is 1-3nm; the coping concentration of the Al is less than 5% and the content of the Mg is 10-33%. The multilayer modulation doping structure dose not leads to the loss of the optical transmissivity of the semiconductor apparatus, can solve the problem of the impurity iron scattering in the transparent conductive film, increases the mobility of the carrier hall and greatly improves the electricity performance of the apparatus. The invention not only helps the photoelectric converting device (such as a solar cell) to develop towards the direction of large area and high efficiency, but also helps the transparent electrical apparatus (such as a liquid crystal display) to develop towards the direction of high performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the structural design of a transparent conductive oxide film, in particular to a multi-layer modulated doped ZnO-based transparent conductive oxide film. Background technique [0002] Transparent conductive oxide ZnO (TCOs) films have excellent photoelectric properties such as high transmittance in the visible light region (>80%) and large band gap (>3eV), and are often used as electrodes for liquid crystal flat panel displays and solar cells. [0003] With the rapid development of large-area, high-efficiency photoelectric conversion devices and high-performance transparent electronic devices, there is an urgent need to improve the properties of transparent conductive materials, especially the optoelectronic properties such as conductivity and transmittance. Since the change and control of the optical transmittance can be achieved by changing the thickness of the film, people pay more attention to the electrical propertie...
