Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of glass film manufacturing and relates to a method for preparing a low-roughness molybdenum film with a novel surface structure. Background Art

[0002] Molybdenum electrodes have been used in CIGS thin-film solar cells for a long time, and the technology of preparing molybdenum disulfide by molybdenum thin film catalysis has become increasingly mature. Under the current magnetron sputtering process conditions, molybdenum thin films can only produce worm-like and disorderly surface structures (such as Figure 1 As shown), and the lowest resistivity is 3*10 -5 The disordered surface structure will increase the difficulty of subsequent preparation of MoS2 thin film, and the high resistivity is also the biggest difference between Mo conductive film and Cu and Ag conductive film. The roughness Ra / Rq of ordinary Mo film is above 2. The higher roughness will increase the difficulty of preparing two-dimensional materials and have a greater impact on the subsequent process of CIGS thin-film solar cells. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the electrical properties, surface morphology and roughness of the film and to provide a method for preparing a low-roughness molybdenum film with a novel surface structure.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A low-roughness molybdenum film with a novel surface structure, characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) Clean the ordinary white glass substrate to remove surface stains, and then blow dry or bake it for later use; (2) The dried ordinary glass substrate is coated by magnetron sputtering. When placing the glass substrate, the substrate should be at an angle of 60° to the normal direction and 120° to the incident direction of the target. Metal Mo is used as the target to coat a molybdenum film with a thickness of 250-450nm.

[0005] Furthermore, the surface structure of the molybdenum film is directional and the roughness Ra / Rq is less than 0.6.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention utilizes magnetron sputtering technology, and can prepare a surface structure with a directional arrangement surface only by changing the angle between the substrate and the magnetic field and the electric field, and by non-horizontally placing the substrate. The method is simple, and effectively improves the electrical properties of the film. When the Mo film is surface modified, the performance of the modified film can be improved, the difficulty of preparing molybdenum disulfide can be reduced, and the bonding strength between the molybdenum film and other film layers in the CIGS back electrode can be improved.
