Abstract

The present invention relates to the electrode material of zinc antimonide thermoelectric material and its preparation technology, it is characterised in that described electrode material is metallic cobalt, gold, platinum, palladium or its alloy.Before electrode preparation, zinc antimonide film surface is roughened, promotes Ohmic contact to be formed.After electrode is placed in into zinc antimonide thermoelectric material, it is heat-treated, further reduces contact resistivity.Lower contact resistance prepares extremely important to zinc antimonide microdevice, is one of the key factor for determining microdevice efficiency.

Description

A kind of electrode material of zinc antimonide thermoelectric material and preparation method thereof
Technical field:
The present invention relates to the component electrode based on thermoelectric material and its preparation technology, be specifically based on zinc antimonide and Prepared by the electrode for adulterating zinc antimonide thermal electric film device, belong to thermo-electric generation, semiconductor refrigerating and sensor field.
Background technology:
Thermoelectric material (Thermoelectric material) is the material that can directly carry out mutually changing between thermoelectricity Material.According to statistics, the energy during energy use more than 60% is all distributed in the form of used heat, and thermoelectric material can incite somebody to action These heat energy wasted are directly translated into electric energy, in automobile engine and tail gas waste heat recovery, factory's Waste Heat Recovery, the sun Had a wide range of applications in terms of energy thermo-electric generation and space flight and aviation.In addition, thermoelectric material is also based on Peltier effect preparation Into semiconductor cooler.Different from conventional compression Refrigeration Technique, the size of conductor refrigerator is small, in light weight, and miniature refrigerator is past Toward can be so small to have only several grams or tens grams, and without noiseless in mechanical driving part, work, can prepare light and handy, portable Type semiconductor cooler, it is widely used in refrigerated infrared detector, laser, chip cooling etc..
In terms of thermo-electric generation and semiconductor cooler, the component size based on thermoelectric material is mostly in micro-meter scale. It is different from mm-scale device, the contact resistivity of microscale devices electrode be determine device conversion efficiency of thermoelectric it is crucial because One of element.Zd/Zm=L/ (L+2 ρ σ), Z in formuladIt is the thermoelectric figure of merit (weigh device conversion efficiency of thermoelectric) of device, ZmIt is material Thermoelectric figure of merit, L are thermoelectricity arm lengths, and ρ is the contact resistivity between device electrode and thermoelectric material.Calculated according to formula, When thermoelectricity arm lengths are 100 μm, if Electrodes rate is from 10-5Ωcm2Drop to 10-7Ωcm2, device is relative to material Conversion efficiency (Zd/Zm) can be from 0.33 increase by twice to 0.98.
Zinc antimonide is middle warm area thermoelectric material, has high Seebeck coefficient, low thermal conductivity and excellent electrical conductivity, in temperature Difference generates electricity and semiconductor refrigerating aspect has great potential.Patent 200410024777.8 have studied metal molybdenum and antimony cobalt material Electrode contacts situation.However, all also studied at present without zinc antimonide electrode ohmic contact both at home and abroad.
The content of the invention:
Present invention is primarily intended to find suitable electrode material for zinc antimonide thermoelectric material, and develop with low contact The technology for preparing electrode of resistivity.The present invention selects metallic cobalt etc. by theoretical prediction and experiment for zinc antimonide thermoelectric material brush Suitable electrode material.In electrode production process, plasma bombardment zinc antimonide material surface can be by impurity such as oxide on surface Remove, reduce surface contact resistivity;Surface roughening treatment can strengthen electrode and zinc antimonide material interface contact performance, enter One step reduces surface contact resistivity;The annealing process that the present invention optimizes can also further reduce electrode and zinc antimonide material table Face contact resistivity.Developed by selecting suitable metal material and technology for preparing electrode, the present invention is real on zinc antimonide material Show low contact rate electrode to prepare.
