The invention belongs to the technical field of thin film preparation, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a
metal sulfide thin
film material through magnetron reactive
sputtering at
room temperature. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking a
metal target material with good heat conduction and electric conduction and elemental
sulfur as raw materials, keeping a substrate at
room temperature, heating and evaporating
sulfur powder by adopting a
resistor to form
sulfur steam, and then reacting and depositing on the substrate by adopting a magnetron
sputtering metal target material to obtain the metal
sulfide film. Before formal
sputtering deposition, a metal target material is subjected to pre-sputtering for more than or equal to 5 min, a substrate baffle is opened after pre-sputtering is finished, the formal sputtering metal target material is subjected to reaction deposition to obtain the metal
sulfide film, the formal sputtering time is 5-60 min, the pre-sputtering power and the formal sputtering air pressure are the same, the power is 60-150 W, and the sputtering air pressure is 2.8-5 Pa. The method has the advantages of low
raw material cost, no
cracking in the target sputtering process, high
deposition rate, avoidance of use of highly
toxic gas H2S, room-temperature deposition, no need of annealing, simple operation and good
repeatability.
