摘要
透明导电氧化物薄膜由于具有良好的电学性质和光学性质已被广泛应用于透明电极、液晶显示器、太阳能电池、防静电涂层以及各种光电设备中。目前,透明导电氧化物薄膜主要包括SnO2、In2O3、ZnO及其氧化物的掺杂体系。现在应用最广泛的透明导电氧化物薄膜是ITO,但因为其有毒、价格昂贵以及在氢等离子体中不稳定等缺点,人们开始寻求新的材料来代替它。而掺杂的ZnO基薄膜价格低廉,在氢等离子体中稳定性高,同时具有与ITO薄膜相比拟的光电性能,已成为替代ITO透明导电薄膜的研究热点材料。
     本文采用溶胶-凝胶旋涂法在普通玻璃载玻片上成功的制备出了低电阻率和在可见光范围内高透射率的ZnO:Sn (TZO)透明导电薄膜。用二水合醋酸锌(Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O)作为前躯体,乙二醇甲醚(CH3OCH2CH2OH)作为溶剂,乙醇胺(HOCH2CH2NH2)作为稳定剂,五水四氯化锡(SnCl4·5H2O)作为掺杂剂。通过系统的实验确定了用溶胶-凝胶法制备最佳光电性能的TZO导电薄膜的具体参数值:溶胶浓度0.5 M、Sn掺杂浓度3 at.%、旋涂层数为8层、干燥温度300℃、热处理温度500℃、在-15℃环境中快速冷却。制备的TZO在可见光范围内的平均透光率为85%以上,最低电阻率可达8.2×10-1Ω·cm。
     我们分别利用X射线衍射仪(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、四探针以及紫外-可见分光光度计(UV-VIS)等手段,系统的研究了Sn掺杂浓度、热处理温度和溶胶浓度对TZO薄膜的晶体结构、表面形貌、电学性能和光学性能的影响。研究结果表明:TZO薄膜为六角纤锌矿结构,具有C轴择优取向。薄膜的Sn掺杂浓度、热处理温度和溶胶浓度对薄膜的光电性能都有不同程度的影响。
Transparent conductive oxide thin films are widely used in transparent electrodes, liquid crystal displays, solar cells, anti-static coatings and various electrical and optical devices. It is because of transparent conductive oxide thin films exhibit outstanding optical and electrical properties. At present, transparent conductive oxide thin films include chiefly SnO2、In2O3、ZnO and their dopant systems. Nowadays, indium tin oxide films (ITO) has been widely studied. However, it has some problems such as high cost, toxicity and low stability to hydrogen plasma. So it is necessary to search for new materials. Doped ZnO thin films are a potential candidate for ITO films, which is not only because of their comparable optical and electrical properties to ITO films, but also because of their low price and their higher thermal and chemical stability under the exposure to hydrogen plasma.
     In this paper, the Sn-doped ZnO (TZO) thin films are deposited on glass substrate by Sol-Gel spin-coating method. Zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O) is used as a starting material; 2-methoxyethanol and monoethanolamine are used as solvent and stabilizer respectively; the dopant source of tin is tin chloride hexahydrate. The optimum technological parameters for preparing TZO thin films with the best optical and electrical properties are:the sol concentration is 0.5 M, the dopant concentration is 3 at.%, the drying temperature is 300℃, the heat treatment temperature is 500℃, and the cooling condition is-15℃. The resistivity attains 8.2×10-1Ω·cm and the average transmittance attains 85%in the visible range.
     The structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of TZO thin films are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD)、scanning electron microscope (SEM)、four-point probe method and UV-VIS spectrophotometer respectively. The results prove that the films are all polycrystalline with a structure of ZnO hexagonal wurtzite type and a preferred orientation of c-axis. The electrical and optical properties of the TZO thin films are influenced by the sol concentration, the dopant concentration and the heat treatment temperature.
