Abstract

The invention discloses a method for growing a large-area mono-crystal vanadium dioxide thin film by utilizing a tubular furnace. The thin film grows on an experiment substrate with a certain thickness of SiO2 / Si, Si3N4 / Si, silicon, quartz, sapphires and the like by adopting a gas-solid manner. A growth surface of the experiment substrate is subjected to strict polishing treatment, and a reaction source vanadium pentaoxide powder is uniformly put at the bottom of a quartz boat; the experiment substrate is put into the quartz boat and the growth surface of the substrate is put downward. The large-area mono-crystal vanadium dioxide thin film is prepared through controlling a temperature rising speed, temperature, air pressure, gas flow size and reaction time in a vacuum environment of the tubular furnace. Compared with a common vanadium dioxide thin film, the large-area mono-crystal vanadium dioxide thin film prepared by the method has more excellent performances, the process is simple and the film forming quality is high; after the prepared mono-crystal vanadium dioxide thin film is subjected to insulator-metal phase change, the changing amplitude of the electrical conductivity reaches 4 to 5 orders of magnitude; the mono-crystal vanadium dioxide thin film is a mono-crystal material thin film and has wide application prospects in photo-electric, infrared and gas sensing aspects and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for growing an oxide semiconductor material, in particular to a method for growing a large-area single-crystal vanadium dioxide film by using a tube furnace. Background technique [0002] Vanadium dioxide is a transition metal oxide with unique properties, such as a thermally induced phase transition from an insulator to a metallic state at around 340K. This phase transition of vanadium dioxide can be achieved not only by heating, but also by other methods such as light irradiation and electric field. Vanadium dioxide thin films with thermally induced phase transitions have potential applications in laser protection, ultrafast switching and infrared thermal imaging, so vanadium dioxide thin films are vividly called "smart thin films". [0003] Generally, the preparation methods of vanadium dioxide thin film materials mainly include vacuum evaporation method, sputtering method, chemical vapor deposition method, physica...
