Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a preparation method of a metal oxide transparent conductive film, a product and application thereof.
Background
The oxide transparent conductive film is an important optoelectronic information material, and has high transmittance in a visible light region and high reflectivity in an infrared region. The preparation process and the post-treatment mode of the film have great influence on the structure, optical property and electrical property of the transparent conductive film, in addition, different doping elements have great influence on the physical and electrical properties of the film, the film property can be effectively improved by controlling the doping level of the film, and the special photoelectric properties of the oxide transparent conductive film can be widely applied to a plurality of fields such as solar cells, flat panel displays and the like. At present, a plurality of methods for preparing the oxide transparent conductive film mainly comprise the following steps: magnetron sputtering, pulsed laser deposition, chemical vapor deposition, spray pyrolysis, and sol-gel processes. However, these methods have a large difference in the ratio of metal oxides when preparing conductive films of the same resistivity, and thus a high-performance conductive film having stable quality cannot be obtained.
Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology, as a potential deposition method for preparing transparent conductive films, has significant advantages over conventional deposition methods, including: large-area deposition, accurate control of the film thickness through the cycle number, and good uniformity and reproducibility. This new deposition method is well suited to meet the new technological development needs and has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In addition, a flexible flat panel display device is becoming one of mainstream technologies of future display development, and a flexible substrate cannot withstand a high-temperature environment for a long time. Therefore, the low temperature preparation of high performance transparent conductive films by atomic layer deposition techniques is a challenging technique.
CN101535524B discloses a method and system for performing plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition, which solves various problems of semiconductor processing caused by smaller and smaller line width and the condition that conformality, adhesiveness and purity become more and more important factors affecting the obtained semiconductor device, reduces the problem of contamination between the interfaces of material layers of subsequent deposition, and provides a configuration compatible with atomic layer deposition and plasma enhanced reduction in the same system. But it does not solve the problem of preparing the metal oxide transparent conductive film at low temperature and high efficiency.
CN100590819C discloses a plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition method and a semiconductor device including a film formed thereby, wherein a first processing material is introduced into a process chamber, a second processing material is introduced into the process chamber, electromagnetic power coupling is utilized to generate plasma for promoting a reduction reaction between the first and second processing materials, and after the reduction reaction between the first and second processing materials is completed to deposit the film on a substrate in a solid state, a third material, i.e. a reactive gas, is introduced into the process chamber to react with contaminants, thereby solving the problems of slow deposition rate and contamination affecting the quality of the deposited film to a certain extent, but not realizing the low-temperature and high-efficiency preparation of a metal oxide transparent conductive film.
CN1041195523A discloses a method for preparing an aluminum-doped zinc oxide film by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition. Performing M times of circulation on the combination of N times of ALD deposition circulation of the zinc oxide substrate film and N times of Al doping process circulation to form the aluminum zinc oxide film layer by layer, wherein the Al doping process circulation comprises Al doping process pretreatment; n is 9-29; and M is 30-90. The film deposition and doping are carried out by introducing metal precursor into deposition chamber, oxidizing deposition with oxidant or plasma mixed with inert gas, doping aluminum oxide into zinc oxide layer, inhibiting generation and segregation of aluminum oxide cluster, and reducing film resistivity, wherein the substrate heating temperature is above 150 deg.C, and the gas and precursor source pipeline heating temperature is above 100 deg.C.
Therefore, it is required to develop a method for preparing a low-resistivity metal oxide transparent conductive film with high efficiency and low temperature.
