Problems solved by technology

[0007] Magnetron sputtering is a non-equilibrium film-forming technology with a fast growth rate, so many interstitial atoms will be generated during the film growth process, and they cannot diffuse and migrate to the lowest energy position
These interstitial atoms will not only affect the film formation in the next step, but also exist as scattering centers during the preparation of the film, reducing the mobility
Therefore, the film obtained by magnetron sputtering alone will be limited, and it is difficult to continue to improve, thus limiting the electrical properties of the film

Abstract

The invention discloses a preparation method of a fluorine-doped zinc oxide-based transparent conducting thin film with high mobility. The preparation method comprises steps of sputtering preparation and sputter coating, and also comprises following steps: a thin film obtained magnetron sputtering growth is subjected to vacuum annealing, wherein vacuum annealing temperature of a flexible substrate ranges from 50 to 150 DEG C, processing time of the flexible substrate ranges from 20 to 60min, vacuum annealing temperature of a rigid substrate ranges from 200 to 500 DEG C, and processing time of the rigid substrate ranges from 20 to 40min; the thin film obtained via annealing treatment is subjected to hydrogen plasma treatment so as to obtain the fluorine-doped zinc oxide-based transparent conducting thin film. According to the hydrogen plasma treatment process, a substrate pressure is less than 5*10<-6>Torr, working pressure ranges from 1 to 20mTorr, a substrate temperature ranges from room temperature to 200 DEG C, and powder of a radio-frequency power supply ranges from 20 to 100W. According to the preparation method, vacuum annealing and hydrogen plasma treatment are combined, and the ZnO:F transparent conducting thin film with mobility as high as 30cm<2>V<-1>s<-1> is obtained via further optimization.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of transparent conductive oxide films, in particular to a method for preparing a high-mobility fluorine-doped zinc oxide-based transparent conductive film. Background technique [0002] Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) thin films have been widely used due to their low resistivity, high transmittance in the visible region, high reflectivity in the infrared region, and high absorption in the ultraviolet region. In recent years, due to the rapid development of various new optoelectronic devices, especially solar photovoltaic technology and solid-state lighting technology, research on high-performance transparent conductive films has been continuously carried out. [0003] In the research on TCO films, the technology of Indium Tin Oxide ITO is the most mature, but due to the small natural reserves of In, Sn and other materials, the preparation process is complicated, the cost is high, toxic and stable po...
