The invention relates to the technical field of vacuum
physical vapor deposition, and provides a preparation method of a porous structure low-density IWO
evaporation target material based on current
calcination, which comprises the following steps: firstly, carrying out current
calcination on raw materials, promoting WO3
crystal grains to preferentially grow along the 111
crystal orientation by utilizing a
Joule effect, forming a long-range ordered structure, increasing the density after
calcination, and then crushing to retain the
crystal form, so as to obtain the low-density IWO
evaporation target material with the porous structure. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: adding a 15wt% PVA
ethanol solution, then carrying out ball-milling cold isostatic pressing molding, then carrying out distributed
sintering, volatilizing PVA to form a porous framework through first-step
sintering, carrying out second-step
sintering to obtain crystal grains with a continuous porous structure, and finally carrying out RPD
film coating under specific parameters, so that the
powder falling rate is reduced, and the TCO film is good in uniformity; through the processes of current calcination, crushing, binder forming and sintering, on the premise that the
low density of the target material is kept, cooperative control over directional connection of a porous structure and crystals is achieved, the
powder falling rate is reduced by 60%, the regular porous structure and ordered crystal arrangement effectively disperse thermal stress, and structural collapse is avoided; the
evaporation stability is improved, and the
surface roughness is reduced to Ralt; the
evaporation rate fluctuates by + / -5%, and the film uniformity reaches + / -2.0%.
