Comparative example:
this comparative example prepares Ag doped Ge2Sb2Te5A thermoelectric thin film.
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) selecting an Ag target material with the purity of 99.99 percent and Ge with the purity of 99.99 percent2Sb2Te5Using target material as raw material, then using Ag target material and Ge2Sb2Te5The target materials are respectively arranged on a station target material rack of the sputtering system, a chamber door is closed, and an air release valve is closed;
(2) vacuumizing, wherein the background vacuum degree of a sputtering system is pumped to 1.0 multiplied by 10-4Pa, introducing argon gas with the flow rate of 20sccm, and controlling the pressure of the sputtering system at 0.4 Pa;
(3) adjusting Ge by adopting a magnetron sputtering codeposition method2Sb2Te5The target power is 60W, the Ag target power is respectively set to 6W, 8W, 10W and 12W, and the Ag-doped Ge is deposited on a silicon wafer and a quartz substrate2Sb2Te5Film, depositionThe time is 50min, and the deposited Ag doped Ge is obtained2Sb2Te5A thermoelectric thin film; the thickness of the film was about 280nm, and the deposition rate of the film was 5.6nm/min in terms of conversion.
(4) Carrying out heat treatment on the co-deposited film, wherein the heat treatment temperature is 250 ℃, and the annealing time is 25min, so as to obtain Ag doped Ge2Sb2Te5A thermoelectric thin film.
This example is carried out by selecting an elemental target Ag target and a compound target Ge2Sb2Te5Target as raw material, co-depositing Ag-doped Ge on substrate2Sb2Te5Film of Ag-Ge prepared as shown in FIG. 62Sb2Te5XRD pattern of the thermoelectric film, FIG. 7 is Ag-Ge2Sb2Te5A surface topography map of the thermoelectric film; from FIG. 6, it can be seen that when Ag is doped into Ge2Sb2Te5In the crystal structure, secondary phases are separated out, and the thermoelectric performance of the crystal is influenced; as can be seen from FIG. 7, Ag is doped with Ge2Sb2Te5The quality of the thermoelectric film is poor, the surface defects and cavities are increased, and the surface compactness of the film layer is reduced.
The thermoelectric properties of the prepared film are shown in the following table 2, in which the Ag sputtering power is 6W, 8W, 10W, 12W, and the measured temperature is measured at 723 k; it can be seen that Ag is doped with Ge2Sb2Te5The hot spot figure of merit of the thermoelectric film is significantly lower than that of Sn-doped Ge2Sb2Te5A thermoelectric thin film; moreover, as the doping power continues to increase, the thermoelectric performance thereof decreases.
