Description

Preparation method of ITO (indium tin oxide) particles for evaporation and ITO particles prepared by method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor material preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of ITO particles for preparing a transparent conductive film by an evaporation method and the ITO particles prepared by the method.
Background
There are many methods for producing transparent conductive thin film materials, among which magnetron sputtering is the most widely used method. The magnetron sputtering method is mainly applied to the manufacture of LCD and solar cell thin film materials. In the process of semiconductor production technology, the magnetron sputtering method can cause serious damage to the semiconductor surface, so that the vacuum evaporation coating method is generally adopted when preparing the transparent conductive film of a semiconductor Light Emitting Diode (LED), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) and a Polymer Light Emitting Diode (PLED).
Vacuum evaporation coating, namely a method for depositing a certain substance on a solid surface to form a film by heating and evaporating the substance. Faraday was first proposed in 1857 by m. The transparent conductive film is prepared by using a vacuum evaporation method, the process is simpler, and the prepared film has the advantages of less influence of deposition conditions and higher transmittance of the film. Y.H.Aliyu et al, 1995, reported a structure in which Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) was deposited as a current spreading layer on an MOCVD-prepared AIGaInP epitaxial layer by a thermal evaporation deposition method.
Indium tin oxide ITO is widely used in the field of transparent electrodes of optoelectronic devices. This is because indium tin oxide ITO has high conductivity and visible light transmittance, and compared with other transparent conductive thin films, the ITO thin film also has good chemical stability, thermal stability, good adhesion to a substrate, and good pattern processing characteristics, and is an ideal material for manufacturing a transparent electrode.
At present, the semiconductor LED becomes a new generation illumination light source in the 2l century due to the advantages of high electro-optic conversion efficiency, long service life, environmental protection and the like. The ITO film in the LED is mainly prepared by adopting an electron beam heating vacuum evaporation method, namely, a high-energy electron beam is utilized to bombard the surface of a mixed raw material of indium and tin oxide to sublimate the mixed raw material, and then the mixed raw material is deposited on a substrate in a cold condition to form an ITO film. The method has the advantages of less process parameters needing to be strictly controlled, relatively easy operation and control of the film growth, no generation of a plurality of uncontrollable impurities in the prepared film, strictly controllable growth rate of the film and suitability for large-scale industrial production. With the gradual maturity of the semiconductor technology, the development of the LED device is continuously developed towards the direction of high efficiency and high brightness, the market application is wider and wider, and the demand on ITO evaporation particles is more and more. Meanwhile, the ITO film prepared by vacuum evaporation can also be widely applied to the fields of OLED (organic light emitting diode), PLED (polymer light emitting diode) and the like.
At present, the preparation method of the ITO evaporation particles is a normal pressure sintering method and a pressure sintering method. The former adopts a common high-temperature sintering furnace which is electrically heated and can be filled with oxidizing gas, the equipment is simple, but the oxygen content of atmosphere can not be controlled or detected in the sintering process, the product quality (such as oxygen loss rate and the like) of ITO evaporation particles can not be ensured, and the controllable precision of the equipment is poor; in addition, the normal pressure sintering furnace has larger hearth, smaller air flow and larger temperature difference in the furnace, and has larger influence on the density and microstructure (such as grain size) of the ITO particles, so the common normal pressure sintering method brings hidden quality trouble to the mass production of the ITO particles. The latter can solve the problem of oxygen partial pressure and the problem of furnace temperature uniformity, but the biggest problem is that the sintering furnace has pressure, which forms hidden danger to production safety; in addition, the equipment investment is larger than that of a normal pressure sintering furnace, and the production cost is not favorably controlled. Therefore, research and design of a preparation method of ITO particles for evaporation, which has a simple process, is safe and reliable and can ensure the product quality, is urgently needed.
Disclosure of Invention
The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to overcome the defects and shortcomings in the background art, and provide a preparation method of ITO particles for evaporation and the ITO particles prepared by the method.
In order to realize the purpose of the invention, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a preparation method of ITO particles for evaporation comprises the following steps in a pressureless sintering furnace: (1) heating the ITO blank to 240 ℃ at a heating rate of 10-100 ℃/h in an oxygen flowing environment, then heating to 600 ℃ at a heating rate of 10-30 ℃/h, and preserving heat for 1-4 h after the heating is finished; (2) and heating to 1300-1500 ℃ at a heating rate of 100-200 ℃/h in an oxygen flowing environment, and carrying out non-pressure oxygen sintering for 1-10 h to obtain the ITO particles.
The preparation method adopts pressureless sintering treatment, namely sintering is carried out by adopting a large-flow atmosphere sintering furnace with an oxygen content monitor and a pressure induction detection meter, and the pressure meter shows 0 during sintering. The process of the step (1) is a degreasing process, in order to remove the organic additive completely and prevent the cracking of the particles, the heating rate should not exceed 100 ℃/h, the organic additive starts to decompose after 240 ℃, and can be basically and completely removed after 400 ℃, so the heating rate and the heat preservation time are controlled within the range of the invention. The process of the step (2) is a pressureless oxygen sintering treatment process, and because the organic additive is removed completely, in order to prevent the degreased ITO green body from cracking, the core part and the external contraction rate of the green body are consistent, and meanwhile, the temperature rise rate and the heat preservation time need to be controlled within the range of the invention in consideration of the sintering activity of the powder and the energy conservation and environmental protection of the production process.
According to the preparation method, degreasing treatment is carried out in an oxygen atmosphere, so that gas consumption can be reduced, organic additives are decomposed and reacted more fully, pores of an ITO blank are prevented from increasing after degreasing is finished, air is prevented from entering the pores and being adsorbed, and the phenomenon that nitrogen impurities exceed the standard during vacuum coating due to the fact that ITO particles belong to oxides and nitrogen atoms contained in adsorbed air lack effective diffusion channels and are difficult to eliminate during sintering is avoided. In addition, the preparation method of the invention carries out degreasing and pressureless oxygen sintering in the same sintering furnace, thereby further avoiding the defect caused by the air entering the pores and being adsorbed.
