S04. ultraviolet irradiation processing is carried out to the AZO performed thin films, AZO transparent conductive film is prepared.
The preparation method of AZO transparent conductive film provided in an embodiment of the present invention is first made on substrate using aqua-solution method Standby zinc oxide seed layer, the zinc oxide that then deposition of aluminum is adulterated in the zinc oxide seed layer, at ultraviolet irradiation Reason, is prepared AZO transparent conductive film.
First, this method whole process uses aqueous process deposition film, does not need the high temperature anneal, therefore, can keep away Exempt from the metallic atom diffusion in the functional layer deposited in high-temperature annealing process, the influence to other functional layers.Particularly, when It, can be to avoid the cadmium in the functional layer in high-temperature annealing process when the AZO transparent conductive film is used for thin-film solar cells Or zinc is diffused into the absorbed layer of thin-film solar cells, to improve cell photoelectric transformation efficiency.It leads the described AZO is transparent Conducting window layer of the conductive film as copper-zinc-tin-sulfur (CZTS) thin-film solar cells, cell photoelectric transformation efficiency can reach 5.47%.
Secondly, AZO transparent conductive film provided in an embodiment of the present invention, it is ultraviolet by being carried out to the AZO performed thin films Treatment with irradiation can remove carbon impurity extra in film, improve the carrier concentration and electric conductivity of film, obtain electric conductivity Excellent AZO transparent conductive film.
Again, in the embodiment of the present invention, the mild condition of AZO transparent conductive film is prepared, complex and expensive need not be used Equipment, advantageously reduce the production cost of AZO transparent conductive film.
Specifically, in above-mentioned steps S01, it is used as the substrate of AZO transparent conductive film, without considered critical, this can be selected The common substrate in field, such as ultra-clear glasses.It is molten in depositing zinc oxide seed in order to improve the adhesive force of material over the substrate Before liquid, need to carry out surface cleaning processing to the substrate.
The method of the surface cleaning processing is as follows as a preferred implementation manner,:
After tentatively cleaning substrate surface spot with cleanser, the glass cleaner (alkali that preferably volumetric concentration is 5% is used Property water-detergent solution, alkaline detergent and deionized water are 5 by volume:95 prepare) it is cleaned, remove glass surface hardly possible With the greasy dirt of removal.
Then, it after the substrate being rinsed in clean deionized water, is put into acetone, removes the organic of glass surface Impurity, then it is cleaned by ultrasonic 10min in isopropanol.
Then, the substrate is put into low concentration glass cleaner and is cleaned, remove the substrate surface granule foreign, then It is secondary to be rinsed using deionized water, it is finally putting into absolute ethyl alcohol for use after being cleaned by ultrasonic 10min.
Carrying out surface cleaning using the above method, treated that the substrate surface is clean as new, and it is water-soluble to be conducive to zinc oxide The deposition of liquid.
In the embodiment of the present invention, large stretch of substrate can be cut according to the specification of the AZO transparent conductive film of formation It cuts, to obtain the substrate dimension met the requirements, such as 25mm × 25mm.It should be understood that can first be cut to large stretch of substrate Cutting is cut, surface cleaning processing is then carried out;It can also be first to row cutting is cut again after the progress surface cleaning processing of large stretch of substrate. Preferably, in order to avoid introducing impurity or dirt in cutting cutting process, the side of cutting is cut after preferably first surface cleaning processing Formula.
In above-mentioned steps S02, since the binding force of Al-Doped ZnO and the substrate especially glass substrate surface is not strong, It in conjunction with insecure, or even is difficult in the substrate surface forming core, therefore, before depositing Al-Doped ZnO, first in the substrate One layer of zinc oxide seed layer of upper deposition is used for the formation and growth of follow-up yield zinc oxide nano array.Specifically, utilizing oxidation Zinc seed solution forms transition zone i.e. zinc oxide seed layer in the substrate surface forming core, deposition.Further, with the oxidation Zinc seed layer deposits Al-Doped ZnO over the substrate as medium.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the zinc oxide seed solution is the zinc oxide aqueous solution added with excessive ammonia, is passed through The ammonium hydroxide of excessive addition is conducive to the solubility for improving zinc oxide.As a specific embodiment, the zinc oxide seed solution Preparation method be:Zinc oxide powder is scattered in deionized water, ammonium hydroxide is then added and is sufficiently stirred, promotes oxidisability powder Dissolving.Further, dissolved solution is filtered processing, removes excessive zinc oxide impurities, clear solution is retained. Specifically, filtration treatment is filtered using a diameter of 0.45 μm of filter.
Specifically, the zinc oxide seed solution is deposited over the substrate, with ammonia in the zinc oxide seed solution The solubility property of the volatilization of water, zinc oxide reduces, and then is attached to the substrate surface and forms film layer.Preferably, the oxidation A concentration of 20-50mmol/L of zinc oxide in zinc seed solution, to form the zinc oxide seed layer of dense uniform.If the oxygen Oxidation zinc concentration is too low in change zinc seed solution, then the film layer formed is not fine and close.If being aoxidized in the zinc oxide seed solution Zinc concentration is excessively high, then the Zinc oxide particles deposited over the substrate are uneven, and obtained superficial film is in uneven thickness, shadow The caliper uniformity of the yield zinc-oxide film of subsequent deposition is rung, the stability of film performance is further influenced.In addition, the oxygen Change the excessive concentration of zinc oxide in zinc seed solution, the thickness for the zinc oxide seed layer that will also result in is blocked up, and it is saturating to influence AZO The performance of bright conductive film.It is further preferred that in the zinc oxide seed solution zinc oxide a concentration of 30-40mmol/L.
The zinc oxide seed solution is deposited over the substrate, prepares the zinc oxide seed for being incorporated in the substrate surface The method of layer, it is preferred to use spin-coating method.As a specific embodiment, the method that zinc oxide seed layer is prepared using spin-coating method For:
The substrate cleaned up is taken out, puts it under stream of nitrogen gas after drying up and is placed on the sample stage of sol evenning machine.Setting The prerotation revolution of good sol evenning machine and prerotation time, rotation revolution and rotational time draw zinc oxide ammonia spirit and by its drop coating It is on the to described, it is ensured that sample surfaces are completely covered in zinc oxide seed layer solution, then open vacuum pump and sol evenning machine is true Sky control switch, spin coating is carried out by start button.Substrate after spin coating is placed on thermostatic platform, heated at constant temperature exists after a certain period of time It is cooling in air, that is, form zinc oxide seed layer.
In above-mentioned steps S03, the embodiment of the present invention prepares AZO transparent conductive film by solwution method.Specifically, first providing Deposition of zinc oxide solution for deposition.Contain zinc oxide, ammonium hydroxide and deionized water in the deposition of zinc oxide solution, wherein The ammonium hydroxide is used to improve the solubility of the zinc oxide, meanwhile, it is real by the volatilization of ammonium hydroxide when preparing AZO performed thin films The deposition of existing zinc oxide.Preferably, the additive amount of the ammonium hydroxide meets:It is 9-12 to make the pH value of the deposition of zinc oxide solution. Within the scope of the pH, the solubility property of zinc oxide in deionized water can be improved, is conducive to the deposition rate for controlling zinc oxide, And improve the compactness of obtained film layer.Meanwhile the present invention reduces the solubility of zinc oxide by the volatilization of ammonium hydroxide, and then mix The growth of zinc oxide after aluminium in zinc oxide seed layer surface.
It is further preferred that also containing ammonium citrate, ammonium nitrate in the deposition of zinc oxide solution.The ammonium citrate, Ammonium nitrate can control crystal structure and pattern of the zinc oxide for mixing aluminium when zinc oxide seed layer surface is grown, to obtain battle array The AZO transparent conductive film of array structure, specifically, array structure is column structure.It is saturating compared to the AZO for not having array structure Bright conductive film, in charge such as electronic transmission process, electronics directly passes the AZO transparent conductive film of array structure along array It is defeated, it is possible to reduce the inhibition of crystal boundary, to improve photoelectricity effect.
Further, in the deposition of zinc oxide solution, the concentration of each component is preferably:
20~60mmol/L of zinc oxide;
0.01~4mmol/L of ammonium citrate;
0.01~2mmol/L of ammonium nitrate concn.
The concentration of suitable above-mentioned substance, can Al-Doped ZnO nano-array, and Al-Doped ZnO nano-array is uniform It is fine and close.If specifically, the excessive concentration of the zinc oxide, the speed of growth of zinc oxide is fast, and the doping speed of aluminium does not catch up with oxidation The speed of growth of zinc causes aluminium doping content in finally obtained AZO transparent conductive film to be unsatisfactory for requiring.In addition, zinc oxide Excessive concentration, the Zinc oxide particles formed in deposition process are coarse, hole formed between Zinc oxide particles, reduction finally obtains AZO transparent conductive film performance.If the oxidation zinc concentration is too low, the speed of growth of zinc oxide is slow.And the lemon Whether formation of the content about Al-Doped ZnO nano-array of sour ammonium, ammonium nitrate, i.e. AZO transparent conductive film have array Structure.The ammonium citrate, ammonium nitrate as a kind of additive, in aqueous solution with citrate ion, nitrate ion and The form of ammonium ion occurs, and since electrostatic attraction acts on, what citrate ion, nitrate ion can be strong is adsorbed in oxidation The crystal face of zinc, to occupy the growth position of most of zinc and oxygen so that growth of the zinc oxide nano rod along c-axis direction is pressed down System, and the growth of nanometer rods transverse direction is affected smaller, therefore the trend of the oriented cross growth of nanometer rods, draw ratio reduction is received It can be in contact with each other to form dense film between rice stick.And simultaneously, the ammonium ion of introducing is due to inherently existing in the solution, Therefore solution chemistry will not be had an impact.If the excessive concentration of the lemon acid ammonium and the ammonium nitrate, zinc-oxide nano The growth limitation of stick longitudinal direction is serious, and rodlike zinc oxide president slabbing is thus unfavorable for the raising of carrier mobility, causes The reduction of Electrical performance.
As a specific embodiment, the preparation method of the deposition of zinc oxide solution is:Clean container such as beaker is taken, A certain amount of deionized water is weighed, required ammonium citrate, ammonium nitrate, Zinc oxide powder and ammonium hydroxide is added into the beaker respectively Reagent.It stirs at room temperature for 24 hours, then excessive zinc oxide impurities in solution is filtered to remove using a diameter of 0.45 μm of filter, Stay clear solution for use.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the substrate for having deposited zinc oxide seed layer is placed in the deposition of zinc oxide solution, is made The deposition of zinc oxide solution submerges the substrate, and deposition has the surface of zinc oxide seed layer not adherent in the substrate, with Just Al-Doped ZnO is grown in the zinc oxide seed layer surface.Preferably, it is heavy to be placed on the zinc oxide vertically for the substrate In product solution.When the substrate is placed on the deposition of zinc oxide solution vertically, it can prevent impurity from falling into institute in infall process Zinc oxide seed layer surface is stated, and is conducive to save space, while realizing the deposition of multiple substrates.It is further preferred that by more Part substrate is placed in the deposition of zinc oxide solution simultaneously, prepares AZO transparent conductive film.The substrate is placed on vertically The deposition of zinc oxide solution, can realize by mold, the no specific requirement of selection of mold.
During the embodiment of the present invention prepares AZO transparent conductive film using aqua-solution method, oxidation is realized by heating The deposition of zinc (volatilization ammonium hydroxide makes the zinc oxide in solution supersaturation occur);Meanwhile it being continually introduced into deposition of zinc oxide solution Aluminium ion is realized with the zinc oxide of deposition and is adulterated.It is specific preferred, connected into the deposition of zinc oxide solution using peristaltic pump The continuous mode that nine water aluminum nitrates are added or immerse aluminium flake, is continually introduced into aluminium ion, to real in the deposition of zinc oxide solution Existing Uniform Doped.As a particular preferred embodiment, nine are continuously added in the deposition of zinc oxide solution using peristaltic pump Water aluminum nitrate is introduced into aluminum ions step, and aluminum ions introducing condition meets:The rotating speed of the peristaltic pump is >=0.1rpm, institute It is 10~300mmol/L to state nine water aluminum nitrate concentrations in deposition of zinc oxide solution.As another particular preferred embodiment, adopt Aluminium flake is continuously immersed with peristaltic pump in the deposition of zinc oxide solution to be introduced into aluminum ions step, aluminum ions introducing condition Meet:The rotating speed of the peristaltic pump is >=0.1rpm, and the immersion area of the aluminium flake is 1~10cm2.Zinc oxide columnar grain is given birth to In growth process, the cylindrical face of zinc oxide carries positive electricity, and top surface carries negative electricity, therefore can make not under the action of Electrostatic Absorption Same surface is different to the attraction power of effects of ion.And aluminium ion can be with [Al (OH) in alkaline solution4]-Form exists, Therefore most of crystal face that will be adsorbed in zinc oxide column crystal, will result in cylindrical face and can receive the position of zinc and largely subtract in this way It is few, to inhibit the growth of column crystal transverse direction, the reduction of crystallite dimension, draw ratio is caused to increase.Therefore, if the nine water nitric acid Aluminum concentration it is excessively high or immerse aluminium flake area it is excessive, zinc oxide columnar grain growth is restricted, then film cannot be in substrate Upper growth;If the nine water aluminum nitrate concentration it is too low or immerse aluminium flake area it is too small, in zinc oxide aluminium doping concentration decline, oxygen Change zinc Thin film conductive performance to decline.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the purpose of the heating is to volatilize the ammonium hydroxide in the deposition of zinc oxide solution, and adds The temperature of heat prepares AZO performed thin films to the embodiment of the present invention and is affected.Preferably, contain in the deposition of zinc oxide solution There are zinc oxide, ammonium hydroxide and deionized water, the pH value of the deposition of zinc oxide solution is 9-12, and the temperature of the heating is 60-90 ℃.Again in temperature range, ammonium hydroxide can ensure suitable rate of volatilization, preferable to advantageously form crystal structure pattern AZO performed thin films.If the temperature of the heating is too low, evaporation rate is slow;If the temperature of the heating is excessively high, ammonium hydroxide volatilization Too fast, the speed of growth of zinc oxide is fast, and the doping speed of aluminium does not catch up with the speed of growth of zinc oxide, leads to finally obtained AZO Aluminium doping content is unsatisfactory for requiring in transparent conductive film.In addition, deposition formed Zinc oxide particles it is coarse, Zinc oxide particles it Between form hole, reduce the performance of finally obtained AZO transparent conductive film.
The deposition of zinc oxide solution is added in heating container as a preferred implementation manner, aerobicization will be deposited The substrate of zinc seed layer is placed in the deposition of zinc oxide solution, and the deposition of zinc oxide solution is made to submerge the substrate, and institute Stating deposition in substrate has the surface of zinc oxide seed layer not adherent;The heating container is placed in water-bath, in the item of heating Under part, it is continually introduced into aluminium ion and stir process in the deposition of zinc oxide solution, is given birth in the zinc oxide seed layer surface It is long to prepare AZO performed thin films.By deposition of zinc oxide solution described in heating water bath, can preferably controlling reaction temperature, make to sink Product at the uniform velocity occurs.
The sample for having grown AZO performed thin films is taken out from aqueous solution, after being rinsed with a large amount of deionized water, is then existed It is dried up under nitrogen stream.
In above-mentioned steps S04, ultraviolet irradiation processing is carried out to the AZO performed thin films, then, using UV irradiation lights to sample Product surface is irradiated 5~10min of processing, completes the preparation of AZO film samples.Carbon impurity extra in film is removed, is improved The carrier concentration and electric conductivity of film.Preferably, the condition of the ultraviolet irradiation processing is:UV lamp radiates effective area 100cm2, 1~20min of radiated time.
