Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of functional glass, and more specifically, to a highly transparent conductive glass and a preparation method thereof. A continuous grid photolithography pattern is first prepared on a glass substrate using a photolithography process, with the glass substrate within the grid lines being exposed and the grid lines being filled with photoresist. A chromium film, a silver film, and an aluminum film are sequentially sputtered on the photolithography pattern, and then the glass substrate within the grid lines is ultrasonically cleaned in a degumming solution. This causes the photoresist to fall off, exposing the glass substrate within the grid lines. The grid lines are filled with chromium / silver / aluminum films. A first Nb2O5 film, a first SiO2 film, a second Nb2O5 film, and a second SiO2 film are then sequentially sputtered, and the films are referred to as multilayer oxide films. The glass substrate is then ultrasonically cleaned in a sodium hydroxide solution, causing the aluminum film to react with the sodium hydroxide solution and dissolve, leaving the multilayer oxide films within the grid lines and the chromium / silver films within the grid lines. The thickness of the multilayer oxide films is consistent with that of the chromium / silver films. Finally, a third SiO2 film is sputtered, thereby obtaining the highly transparent conductive glass.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional glass, in particular to a highly transparent conductive glass and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Conductive glass is a functional glass made by depositing a transparent conductive film with conductive properties on the surface of ordinary glass. It is widely used in the fields of solar cells, touch displays, liquid crystal displays, light-emitting diodes, smart windows, and flexible electronic devices. While achieving the electrical functions of the device, it still needs to maintain good optical properties, especially high light transmittance, which has a crucial impact on its performance and efficiency in practical applications. However, it is well known that when a layer of transparent conductive film is introduced on the surface of glass, such as common materials such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, zinc aluminum oxide or conductive polymers, although it can effectively give the glass conductive properties, it will inevitably have an adverse effect on its optical properties, especially reducing its light transmittance. This is because the conductive material itself has a certain absorption and scattering effect on light, especially in the visible light region.

[0003] Because the transmittance of glass itself is below 91%, producing conductive glass with a transmittance greater than 90% presents a significant technical challenge. Ideal conductive glass should possess low surface resistance (e.g., below 10Ω / □) and high transmittance (e.g., above 80%). However, these two properties are often contradictory: increasing film thickness or carrier concentration can reduce resistance, but this typically also results in a decrease in transmittance. Therefore, achieving the synergistic optimization of high conductivity and high transmittance requires in-depth research in material design, film structure control, preparation processes, and post-processing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention utilizes anti-reflection and metal grid technology, aiming to provide a highly transparent conductive glass and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] Furthermore, the photolithography process in step (1) is a conventional photolithography process, specifically, the glass substrate coated with the photoresist is pre-baked, then placed under the mask of the ultraviolet photolithography machine for exposure, then post-baked, and then placed in a developer for development to obtain a continuous grid photolithography pattern; the thickness of the photoresist is 1000-2000nm; the continuous grid photolithography pattern is a continuous square grid photolithography pattern with a grid line length of 300μm and a line width of 3μm; the glass substrate located in the grid line is in an exposed state, and the square grid is filled with photoresist.

[0008] Furthermore, in step (1), the pre-baking is performed at 120°C for 5 minutes; and the post-baking is performed at 110°C for 5 minutes.

[0009] (2) Place the sample obtained in step (1) into the magnetron sputtering chamber and pump the background vacuum to 5×10 -4 Below Pa, high-purity argon gas is introduced, the sputtering target is a high-purity metal chromium target, and a chromium film is sputtered on the photolithography pattern at room temperature;

[0010] Furthermore, in step (2), the sputtering pressure is 0.8-1.2 Pa, the sputtering power is 50-150 W, and the thickness of the chromium film is 10-30 nm. The film acts as a transition layer and has an adhesion effect.

[0011] (3) This step is the same as the sputtering conditions in step (2), except that high-purity metallic silver is used as the sputtering target and the silver film is sputtered on the surface of the chromium film;

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the silver film in step (3) is 160-180 nm; the total thickness of the silver film and the chromium film is 190 nm.

[0013] (4) The sputtering conditions in this step are the same as those in step (2), except that high-purity metal aluminum is used as the sputtering target to sputter the aluminum film on the surface of the silver film;

[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the aluminum film in step (4) is 300-500 nm.

[0015] (5) placing the sample obtained in step (4) into a degumming solution and ultrasonically cleaning it, so that the photoresist in the grid reacts with the degumming solution and dissolves into the degumming solution, and the corresponding chromium / silver / aluminum film on the surface of the photoresist falls off. Then, in the continuous grid photolithography pattern, the glass substrate in the grid is in a bare state, and the mesh wire is filled with the chromium / silver / aluminum film, which is the film obtained by sputtering the chromium film, silver film, and aluminum film in steps (2), (3), and (4) in sequence;

[0016] Furthermore, in step (5), ultrasonic cleaning is performed for 5-10 minutes.

[0017] (6) placing the sample obtained in step (5) into a magnetron sputtering chamber, and sequentially sputtering a first Nb2O5 film, a first SiO2 film, a second Nb2O5 film, and a second SiO2 film on the side of the sample having the continuous grid photolithography pattern by magnetron sputtering, wherein the first Nb2O5 film, the first SiO2 film, the second Nb2O5 film, and the second SiO2 film are recorded as a multilayer oxide film;

[0018] Furthermore, when magnetron sputtering is used in step (6), the background vacuum is 5×10 -4 Pa or less, the sputtering gas is high-purity argon, the sputtering pressure is 0.8-1.2 Pa, the sputtering power is 50-150 W, the preparation temperature is room temperature, the target material used in preparing the first Nb2O5 film and the second Nb2O5 film is a Nb2O5 ceramic target, and the target material used in preparing the first SiO2 film and the second SiO2 film is a SiO2 ceramic target;

[0020] (7) The sample obtained in step (6) is placed in a sodium hydroxide solution and ultrasonically cleaned. During this process, the aluminum film reacts with the sodium hydroxide solution and dissolves into the sodium hydroxide solution, and the corresponding multi-layer oxide film on the surface of the aluminum film falls off. The multi-layer oxide film located in the grid and the chromium / silver film located in the mesh line are left in the continuous grid lithography pattern. The thickness of the above-mentioned multi-layer oxide film is consistent with the thickness of the chromium / silver film.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (7), ultrasonic cleaning is performed for 10-20 minutes; the mass fraction of the sodium hydroxide solution is 5%.

[0022] (8) The sample obtained in step (7) is placed in a magnetron sputtering chamber, and a third SiO2 film is sputtered on the side of the sample having the multilayer oxide film and the chromium / silver film using the same sputtering conditions as in step (6), thereby obtaining a highly transparent conductive glass.

[0023] Furthermore, the thickness of the third SiO2 film in step (8) is 16 nm. The third SiO2 film protects silver, prevents silver from contacting with external oxygen, and prevents silver from oxidizing. At the same time, the third SiO2 film also forms an anti-reflection effect on the glass together with the multilayer oxide film obtained in step (6).
