Embodiment 2

[0095] The GST (GeTe / Sb) prepared in this embodiment 2 Te 3 ) quantum well thermoelectric thin film.

[0096] The preparation process of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that the sublayer film thickness ratio (t Sb2Te3 / t GeTe ) and layered film thickness selection, wherein the sub-layer film thickness ratio is 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, and the specific thickness is 5:10, 5:15, 5:20 for single cycle and multi cycle (4 cycle), and the annealing temperature and time are the same as in Example 1. The three groups of samples prepared were subjected to thermoelectric tests, and the results are shown in Table 3. It can be seen from the table that the thermoelectric properties prepared under the sub-layer film thickness ratio of 1:1-1:5 are excellent, and the ZT value obtained with the film thickness ratio of 1:1 tends to be higher.

Embodiment 3

[0100] The GST (GeTe / Sb) prepared in this embodiment 2 Te 3 ) quantum well thermoelectric thin film.

[0101] The preparation process of this example is basically the same as that of Example 1, except that the annealing temperature selection process, and the ratio of the selected film thickness to the thickness of the sublayer is the same as that of Example 1. The annealing temperature is selected as 373, 573K, and 873K, and the thermoelectric test is performed on the prepared samples, and the results are shown in Table 4. As shown in the table, it can be found that as the annealing temperature rises, the thermoelectric performance will increase, but the higher the temperature, the better the thermoelectric performance is not. If the temperature exceeds a certain range (300-500°C), the thermoelectric performance will decrease.

Abstract

The invention discloses a GST (GeTe / Sb2Te3) quantum well thermoelectric thin film and a preparation method and application thereof, GeTe and Sb2Te3 target materials with the purity of 99.99% are used as raw materials, a magnetron alternate sputtering method is adopted, the thin film is prepared on a Si sheet and a quartz substrate, and the chemical formula of the thin film is (GeTe) x (Sb2Te3) 1-x (x is more than 0.5 and less than 1). The thermoelectric performance of the prepared quantum well is optimized by reasonably selecting and controlling the layered film thickness and the sub-layer film thickness ratio, and meanwhile, the GST (GeTe / Sb2Te3) thermoelectric quantum well is prepared by adopting a magnetic control alternate sputtering process. The method can effectively evaluate and guarantee the reasonability of parameter selection for preparing the GST (GeTe / Sb2Te3) thermoelectric quantum well, and compared with the traditional GeTe and Sb2Te3 films, the thermoelectric performance is improved.
