Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oxide target materials, and in particular to an indium gallium titanium oxide target material and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, flexible organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted widespread attention due to their unique properties. The design flexibility brought by flexible properties has opened up new possibilities for the application of light-emitting diodes. The deformation of the curved or foldable screen has produced innovative foldable or bendable products, which have been applied in foldable mobile phones and large-area curved screens. Foldable smartphones with flexible screens have expanded the screen size without affecting the convenience of users. The technical effect of screen flexibility can be attributed to the advancement of flexible electrodes, which is crucial to achieving the flexibility required for OLEDs. Given the great potential of flexible transparent electrodes in applications such as flexible or foldable OLEDs, it is imperative to develop transparent electrodes with low sheet resistance, excellent optical transmittance, and outstanding mechanical flexibility.

[0003] Currently, many flexible transparent electrode materials have been proposed as alternatives to traditional ITO films, however, thin ITO electrodes continue to be used as the bottom electrode of flexible OLEDs, mainly driven by the advantageous properties of ITO, including low sheet resistance, high transmittance, and a sound manufacturing process. Although other materials have been extensively explored, the above qualities and characteristics make the use of thin ITO electrodes the first choice to ensure the best performance of flexible OLEDs. However, with the growing interest in flexible displays, the demand for transparent conductors that can overcome the challenges of flexible configurations continues to grow. Current ITO-based electrodes exhibit lower mechanical strain tolerance than other layers in the device, which is increasingly difficult to meet the needs of the industry and the market.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a transparent conductor material that can replace ITO, which has good mechanical flexibility while ensuring good conductivity and transparency under large mechanical strain. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides an indium gallium titanium oxide target.

Ti doping also has a strong Lewis acid strength, which leads to strong polarization of electrons away from the O2p valence band, thereby causing charge screening, reducing the electron scattering effect, and ultimately increasing the electron mobility and improving the conductivity of the target material and oxide film;

[0077] Performance Test:

[0078] 1. The performance test was performed on the finished products of the doped indium oxide targets prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples, wherein the density was measured by the Archimedes drainage method, and the relative density was the ratio of the actual density of the target measured by the drainage method to the theoretical density; the target samples were subjected to metallographic analysis, and the average grain size was measured by the intercept method; the resistivity was measured using a resistivity meter using a four-point probe method; and each target was then sputtered using a magnetron sputtering machine to form a 100nm thick oxide film, and the substrate was a 10*10mm plastic substrate, and the transmittance was measured using a double-beam UV-visible photometer. The results of the oxide raw materials used and the performance parameters in the embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.

[0079] Table 1 Oxide raw material usage and performance parameter results in each embodiment and comparative example

[0080]

[0081]

[0082] From the test results in Table 1, it can be seen that the multi-doping of gallium oxide and titanium dioxide in the indium oxide-based target material of the present invention has a great influence on the performance of the target material and the oxide film prepared therefrom. By changing the doping components and proportions, the comprehensive performance of the target material and the oxide film is improved. Compared with the traditional ITO target material, the indium gallium titanium oxide target material of the present invention can maintain a low resistivity while the prepared oxide film has excellent light transmittance, and the target material of the present invention has a higher relative density and a smaller average grain size.

[0083] By comparing Examples 1 and 2, Examples 3 and 4, and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the doping of gallium in the scheme of the present invention has different degrees of influence on the relative density, resistivity, and transmittance of the target material. With the increase of the doping amount of gallium, the relative density and transmittance of the target material are improved, but its resistivity also tends to increase, which is not conducive to electron migration. Therefore, the doping of gallium in the scheme of the present invention cannot be excessive. By comparing Examples 1, 3 and Examples 2, 4, 6 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the doping of titanium in the scheme of the present invention has a greater influence on the resistivity of the target material and the transmittance of the prepared oxide film. Increasing the doping ratio of titanium dioxide helps to reduce the resistivity of the target material, and the transmittance of the film is also improved. However, by comparing Examples 1, 3, 5, and Comparative Example 4 with Examples 2, 4, 6, and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that after the titanium element is doped to a greater than a certain value, the resistivity instead shows an increasing trend. This is because when the titanium element is doped in excess, the element cannot be well mixed with the matrix, but will agglomerate and cause abnormal grain growth during sintering, resulting in an increase in resistivity instead of a decrease. At the same time, the average grain size of the target material will also increase, while the relative density will significantly decrease. Therefore, the doping amount of the titanium element needs to be within a certain range.

[0084] It can be seen from the performance test results of Comparative Example 3 that only a certain amount of titanium dioxide is doped in Comparative Example 3, resulting in a relative density of the prepared target material of less than 90%. Too low a relative density will reduce the life of the target material, resulting in poor heat dissipation performance, and the target sputtering process is prone to instability, affecting the quality of the prepared oxide film.

[0085] It can be seen from Comparative Examples 4 and 5 that with the increase of the doping ratio, the relative performance of the target material does not show a trend of getting better and better. This is probably because the doping ratio is too large, and the doping elements and the indium oxide base cannot be evenly mixed and sintered, resulting in reduced performance. In addition, the average grain size of the target material is large, which also leads to low strength of the target material.

[0086] From the above analysis, it can be seen that the doping of gallium oxide and titanium dioxide will affect the resistivity of the target material. As the doping ratio of gallium oxide increases, the resistivity of the target material will show an increasing trend, but the effect of the increase in the doping ratio of titanium dioxide on the resistivity is opposite to that of gallium oxide. It can be seen from the test results that the effect of titanium dioxide on the resistivity is better than that of gallium oxide, and the increase in the doping amount of titanium dioxide can reverse the trend of gallium oxide reducing the resistivity of the target material. Therefore, Examples 4 and 6 of the present invention have achieved very low technical effects of target resistivity, and the oxide film prepared by the target material has excellent light transmittance, but the target material of Example 6 has a lower relative density. It is believed that the combination of Ga-O and Ti-O can prevent In 2 O 3The presence of oxygen vacancies in the matrix and the electrostatic force of oxygen vacancies on electrons produce ion scattering centers in the IGTO film. The reduction of oxygen vacancies increases the total performance of carrier mobility and light transmittance. 4+ Replace In 3+ It can provide more free electrons to make up for the defect of low carrier concentration. The high mobility caused by titanium and the low oxygen vacancy concentration caused by doping make the target material of the present invention and the film prepared by it have two advantages: low resistivity and high transmittance.

[0087] 2. Use a bending tester to perform bending fatigue test on oxide film;

[0088] The target material of Example 4 of the present invention and the traditional ITO target material of Comparative Example 1 were subjected to the aforementioned sputtering process to be made into thin films and then subjected to thousands of bending fatigue tests at different bending radii. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0089] Table 2 Bending fatigue test results of oxide films

[0090] Serial number Film Type Bending times Bending radius / mm Resistivity increase (%) 1 IGTO 5000 3 0 2 IGTO 5000 4 5.6 3 ITO 5000 3 3.4 4 ITO 5000 4 187 5 ITO 2500 3 0

[0091] From the above test results, it can be seen that when the number of bends is 5000 times and the bending radius is 3mm or 4mm, the resistance of the ITO film is more likely to increase after the bending fatigue test, and the increase is more obvious, while the resistance of the film made by the target material of the present invention does not change much, and the resistivity increase is greatly reduced compared with the ITO film. This shows that compared with the oxide film prepared by the traditional ITO target material, the IGTO film of the present invention has better flexibility and durability. At the same time, the IGTO target material of the present invention can be formed into an IGTO film using a damage-free deposition technology, which reduces the damage to the substrate when the film is formed, so that it can perform its performance more effectively.

[0092] The above is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
