Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of thin film technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a superconducting thin film based on nanotechnology. Background Art
[0002] The application of superconducting materials is mainly concentrated in electronic devices, while electronic devices based on thin films have the advantages of integration and miniaturization. Compared with bulk materials, thin films are easier to obtain single phases to facilitate the research and analysis of material structure and characteristics. At present, the preparation methods of high-temperature superconducting thin films can be divided into two categories, physical deposition and chemical vapor deposition. Physical deposition is mainly divided into magnetron sputtering, electron beam evaporation, molecular beam epitaxy and pulsed laser deposition, etc. Chemical vapor deposition is divided into metal organic chemical vapor deposition and laser assisted chemical vapor deposition. Due to the different preparation methods, the prepared thin film materials have great differences in specific microstructure and macroscopic electrical properties. Among them, magnetron sputtering and laser deposition are two relatively effective methods for preparing high-temperature superconducting thin films. Laser deposition technology has high quality and simple process for preparing thin films, while magnetron sputtering can flexibly control the composition of the film to obtain a large area of smooth surface composition and uniform thickness film.
[0003] However, in the traditional post-annealing method, the heating rate is low, and the crystallization process is mainly in the form of transformation. This transformation is often not thorough enough. In addition, when the precursor film undergoes high-temperature annealing, it takes a long time to cross other superconducting phase temperature zones. The entire preparation process takes a long time, so the generated superconducting film often presents an intergrowth phase, that is, in addition to the target superconducting phase, it also contains a lot of other superconducting phase components. In addition, the surface morphology of the superconducting film is not very good. The superconductivity of the intergrowth phase superconducting film is usually poor, and it is difficult to be used as a superconducting film for practical application.
[0004] The sputtering method requires the introduction of inert gas and reactive gas into the vacuum chamber. The high voltage applied between the cathode (target material) and the anode (substrate) will break down the gas. The ions generated after ionization are accelerated toward the target material under the action of the electric field, bombarding the target material so that the material on the target material is sputtered onto the substrate to form a thin film deposition. The crystallization state and superconductivity of the thin film often depend on the step of sintering the precursor film. During the high-temperature sintering process, Tl2O3 volatilizes severely, resulting in the disadvantages of difficult control of the thickness of the superconducting film, uneven distribution of component thickness, and difficult control of the film composition. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a superconducting thin film based on nanotechnology:

[0008] (3) mixing chloroauric acid solution with sodium dodecyl sulfate, depositing the mixture on the annealed substrate by solution deposition, using the chloroauric acid sodium dodecyl sulfate solution as the cathode, discharging, centrifuging, and drying to complete the nano-dot modification of the substrate to obtain a modified substrate, thereby solving the problem of too few modified points on the substrate during the process of controlling the formation of the thin film by the magnetron sputtering method;
[0009] (4) BaO2, CaO and CuO are mixed and ground, and then calcined in a flowing oxygen environment. After cooling, they are crushed and ground to obtain an intermediate A. Intermediate A is calcined in a flowing oxygen environment, cooled and crushed to obtain an intermediate B. Tl2O3 powder is added to intermediate B, and the mixture is ground and pressed into tablets. The tablets are subjected to constant temperature treatment in a flowing oxygen environment to obtain a sintered target. The sintered target and the modified substrate are placed in a crucible together. The crucible is sealed in silver foil and placed in a rapid thermal treatment equipment for rapid temperature rise sintering. After sintering, a sputtering target is obtained, which solves the problem that the thickness of the superconducting film is difficult to control, the thickness distribution of the component is uneven, and the composition of the film is difficult to control due to the serious volatilization of Tl2O3 during the high-temperature sintering process.

After the temperature is maintained at this temperature, the temperature is lowered to 800°C, and then to 500°C. Finally, the temperature is naturally cooled to room temperature and taken out, thereby completing the annealing of the substrate wafer. The purpose of annealing is to use high temperature to give energy to the bound atoms in the solid so that they can obtain the ability to transition to a more stable position. Annealing can transform the crystal from an unstable non-equilibrium state to a stable equilibrium state, thereby achieving the purpose of solving the surface morphology of the superconducting film.

The effective pinning center can greatly improve the superconducting critical current of the high-temperature superconducting material, and has good pinning strength both under high magnetic field conditions and in the microwave field, thereby improving its practical application value. Artificially introducing nano-dots on the substrate surface can form extended pinning centers, which directly improve the superconducting critical current of the high-temperature superconducting film.
[0040] (4) BaO2, CaO and CuO are mixed and ground, and then calcined in a flowing oxygen environment, and then pulverized and ground after cooling to obtain an intermediate A. Intermediate A is calcined in a flowing oxygen environment, and then cooled and pulverized to obtain an intermediate B. Tl2O3 powder is added to intermediate B, and the mixture is mixed, ground and pressed into tablets, and then subjected to constant temperature treatment in a flowing oxygen environment to obtain a sintered target. The sintered target and the modified substrate substrate are placed in a crucible together, and the crucible is sealed in silver foil and placed in a rapid thermal treatment equipment for rapid temperature rise sintering. After sintering, a sputtering target is obtained, and each metal oxide can fully react in proportion to generate a relatively pure superconducting phase with less residual amount and too low TI ion content, so as to reduce the occurrence of enrichment phenomenon, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the volatilization of surface components of the superconducting film; DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0084] Comparative Example 1:
[0085] The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that no annealing process is performed.
[0086] Comparative Example 2:
[0087] The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that no modified substrate preparation is performed.
[0088] Comparative Example 3:
[0089] The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that Tl2O3 powder is not added in step S63.
[0090] The superconducting films of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were tested. The samples were placed between two coils. A certain high-frequency alternating current was passed through the primary coil, which generated an induced electromotive force at both ends of the secondary coil. When the magnetic permeability of the sample between the two coils changed, it would affect the induced electromotive force at both ends of the secondary coil. The samples were placed in a coolant. As the temperature decreased, when the sample showed the Meissner effect, the transmission of the magnetic field would be blocked. At this time, no induced electromotive force was generated at both ends of the secondary coil. By measuring the change from the induced electromotive force at both ends of the secondary coil to the non-existence and the temperature when the change occurred, the critical transition temperature of the sample could be obtained.
[0091] First, a microbridge structure is etched on the surface of the sample and the electrodes are fixed. Then, the sample is immersed in a coolant until it enters a superconducting state. The current flowing through the microbridge is increased. When the current reaches the critical current, the superconducting state disappears and a voltage appears at both ends of the microbridge. The current when a 1uV voltage appears at both ends of the microbridge is taken as the critical current of the sample. The critical current density of the sample is then calculated based on the width of the microbridge and the thickness of the sample.
[0092] The test results are shown in the following table:
