Problems solved by technology

Although PLD and MBE can prepare high-quality films, they are not conducive to large-scale applications; films prepared by sputtering or evaporation usually have poor surface quality, high roughness, and large differences in conductivity; USP and Sol-Gel belong to chemical preparation, the film quality is relatively low, and it is not conducive to large-scale production
Except for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method, other methods have not reached the level of large-area uniform coating (industrial production), but the main disadvantage of the CVD method is that the equipment is complex and expensive, and the organic zinc source used is expensive and toxic. High substrate temperature

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of transparent conductive thin films, relates to a preparation method of an Al-doped ZnO transparent conductive thin film, and in particular relates to an inductively coupled plasma reinforced physical vapour deposition (ICP-PVD) method. The ICP-PVD method comprises the following steps of: firstly preparing a Zn1-xAlxO (x is more than or equal to 0.01 and is less than or equal to 0.05) target material; and placing a clean and dry substrate into an ICP-PVD system, and controlling all the technological parameters of the ICP-PVD system to carry out thin film deposition, so as to obtain the Al-doped ZnO transparent conductive thin film. The method provided by the invention adopts simple equipment, is easy to operate and can realize large-area and mass production of coating films. Compared with the traditional thin film equipment, the ICP-PVD system realizes constrain and acceleration effects on various charged particles in plasma, thus crystallization quality of the thin film and controllability of doping of a donor are improved, a ZnO thin film with low resistivity, high transmissivity and good repeatability and stability can be easily obtained, andthe thin film can be applied to photoelectronic devices.
