Problems solved by technology

In order to obtain AZO thin films with better photoelectric properties, it is often necessary to heat flexible substrates when depositing AZO thin films by magnetron sputtering. It is easy to deform when sputtering, and organic molecules are prone to crack and pollute AZO films during sputtering, which brings certain difficulties to the preparation of flexible AZO films.
On the other hand, if the substrate temperature is too low, the crystallization quality of the AZO film will be poor, the grain size will be small, the carrier mobility will be reduced, the resistivity will be too high, and the transmittance in the visible light region will be low.

Abstract

The invention relates to a sputtering deposition method of a flexible AZO transparent conductive film at room temperature. The method comprises the following steps of (1) cleaning a substrate; (2) presputtering; (3) preparing a homogeneous buffer layer; (4) assisting to sputter a main body layer of the AZO film by ultraviolet light. According to the sputtering deposition method, the homogeneous buffer layer which is sputtered with low power at room temperature is introduced, so that the subsequent preparation of the high-quality main body layer of the AZO film is facilitated, and damages of sputtered particles to the organic flexible substrate are reduced. The AZO film prepared by utilizing the sputtering deposition method has the advantages of good crystallization performance, compact and smooth surface and simplicity in technological operation and is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for sputtering and depositing a flexible AZO transparent conductive film at room temperature, and belongs to the technical field of electronic materials. Background technique [0002] Transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin film is an important optoelectronic material, which is widely used in large-screen displays, solar cells, gas sensors, optoelectronic devices, etc. due to its good electrical conductivity and high transmittance in the visible region field. The substrates of TCO thin films are divided into hard substrates and flexible substrates. At present, TCO thin films usually use hard materials such as glass and ceramics as substrates. Compared with TCO thin films deposited on hard substrates, organic flexible substrates TCO films prepared on substrates (such as PET, PC, PI) not only have the photoelectric properties of transparent conductive films on glass substrates, but also have many unique advantages, such...
