Abstract

The invention provides a cation-anion co-doping n-type zinc-oxide-base transparent conducting film. The doped cation is a high-valency cation M<n+>, and n is 3, 4, 5 or 6; and the doped anion is a low-valency anion X<m->, and m is equal to 1. The preparation method adopts the High-vacuum Magnetron Sputtering technique and promotes the n-type transparent conductivity of the zinc-oxide film by utilizing high-valency cations and low-valency anions to prepare the high-performance cation-anion co-doping zinc-oxide polycrystal film. A compound containing low-valency anions can be used as a fluxing agent to promote the crystallization of the zinc-oxide-base polycrystal film and enhance the visible light transparency of the film and the electron conductivity. The high-performance zinc-oxide-base transparent conducting film has the advantages of simple preparation process, superior visible light transparency and conductivity, and low cost, and has wide application prospects in the fields of solar cells and photoconducting devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-performance n-type zinc oxide-based transparent conductive film co-doped with anions and cations and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of transparent conductive material (TCO) films. Background technique [0002] Since the first translucent conductor CdO [K.Badeker, Ann.Phys.Leipzig, 1907, 22, 749] came out in 1907, transparent conductors have been widely used due to the needs of military and industrial applications. Transparent conductors combine high transparency and high electrical conductivity, which are usually incompatible, in the same material. Most of the discovered transparent conductors are transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), which mainly belong to n-type electronic conduction. The transparent conductive oxide film is mainly coated with a layer of transparent conductive oxide film on the surface of flat glass by physical or chemical coating method, mainly including In, Sn, Zn and...
