Description

Glass substrate with film and method for producing same
The application is a divisional application of Chinese patent application with an application number of 202010655792.1, namely 7/9/2020.
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a film-coated glass substrate and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a film-coated glass substrate which is a transparent electrode substrate or Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass used for a solar cell.
Background
Glass substrates with films have properties such as transparency, chemical stability, high hardness, heat resistance, insulation properties, and excellent optical properties, and therefore are used in various fields such as optical components, electrical components, and electronic components, in addition to window glass materials as building members.
For example, in a solar cell, a glass substrate with a film is used as a transparent electrode substrate in which a transparent conductive film is formed on a surface of a glass substrate. In the field of construction, Low emissivity glass (Low-E glass) having heat insulating properties and heat insulating properties imparted thereto by forming an oxide film or a metal film on the surface of a glass substrate is used.
However, due to high-temperature heat treatment and long-term use in manufacturing a solar cell, alkali ions diffuse from the glass substrate. This may cause deterioration in performance such as a decrease in transparency, a decrease in conductivity (increase in resistivity), and a decrease in chemical and physical durability of the transparent conductive film or the metal oxide film (hereinafter referred to as a functional transparent film).
In view of the above, patent document 1 discloses a conductive glass in which an alkali barrier film for suppressing alkali diffusion from an alkali-containing glass and a conductive film are sequentially stacked on a surface of the glass, wherein the alkali barrier film is an oxide film containing tin and silicon as main components.
In addition, patent document 2 also discloses, as a base film, a base film containing silicon, oxygen, and carbon as a film having barrier properties in order to prevent diffusion of an alkali component from a glass plate to a transparent conductive film.

Problems to be solved by the invention
However, SiO is used 2 When the functional transparent film is used as an undercoat layer for preventing diffusion of alkali, not only reflection of light due to a difference in refractive index from the functional transparent film causes a decrease in transmittance, but also color development of glass due to the reflection may be observed.
Further, when SiOxCy containing silicon, oxygen, and carbon is used as an undercoat layer, it decomposes to release carbon when left in a high-temperature environment such as a film formation process temperature in manufacturing a solar cell, a heat strengthening treatment of Low-E glass, or the like, because of Low heat resistance. Since the elements of the functional transparent film are extracted by the desorbed carbon, the composition of the functional transparent film changes, and the properties such as electrical conductivity and heat radiation property are degraded. Further, when exposed to a severe environment such as a higher temperature and a longer time, the undercoat layer itself is broken and peeled off.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a film-coated glass substrate which has high transmittance, i.e., Low reflectance, can freely control color tone, and has excellent heat resistance, and which can be used as a transparent electrode substrate for a solar cell or Low-E glass.

[6]A method for manufacturing a glass substrate with a film by using a float process, the method comprising: the method for manufacturing the glass ribbon comprises a melting step of heating glass raw materials to obtain molten glass, a fining step of removing bubbles from the molten glass, a forming step of forming the molten glass from which the bubbles have been removed into a plate shape to obtain a glass ribbon, and a slow cooling step of slowly cooling the glass ribbon to room temperature, wherein a film forming step is included between the forming step and the slow cooling step, and in the film forming step, a SiOxCy layer and a SiO are continuously formed on the surface of the glass ribbon in this order by an in-line CVD method 2 A layer and a functional transparent film.
Effects of the invention
According to the film-coated glass substrate of the present invention, when used as a transparent electrode substrate for a solar cell or Low-E glass, the undercoat layer does not peel off even when exposed to a high-temperature environment, and properties such as high conductivity, Low emissivity, and high light transmittance can be maintained. Further, since the refractive index can be adjusted by changing the composition of the SiOxCy layer constituting the undercoat layer, the color tone of the film-coated glass substrate can be freely controlled.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be arbitrarily modified and implemented within a range not departing from the gist of the present invention. "to" indicating a numerical range is used to include numerical values described before and after the range as a lower limit value and an upper limit value.
< glass substrate with film >
As shown in FIG. 1, the film-equipped glass substrate 1 of the present invention is characterized by comprising a glass substrate 10, an undercoat layer 20 and a functional transparent film 30 in this order, the undercoat layer 20 comprising a SiOxCy layer 21 and a SiO in this order from the glass substrate 10 side 2 Layer 22.
(undercoat layer)
By using a SiOxCy layer and SiO in this order from the glass substrate side 2 The layer structure is used as a primer layer, and the primer layer does not peel off even under a high-temperature environment, and can prevent diffusion of alkali from a glass substrate, and further, can prevent reflection of light and can control the color tone of a glass substrate with a film.
The refractive index of the glass substrate is about 1.4 to about 1.5, whereas the refractive index of the functional transparent film differs depending on the composition thereof, but in the case where the functional transparent film is a film containing a metal oxide as a main component, the refractive index of the functional transparent film is about 2. In contrast, in the SiOxCy layer, the refractive index can be easily controlled by changing the slight difference in the content ratio (y) of carbon C. Therefore, reflection of light can be suppressed, and a glass substrate with a film having high transmittance can be obtained. In addition, when the glass substrate with the film is desired to be colored, the color tone can be controlled.
On the other hand, the SiOxCy layer is easily decomposed by heat, and C is easily diffused and moved under high temperature conditions. In particular, it was found that C diffuses into the functional transparent film in an environment of 600 ℃ or higher, and reduces the conductive substance and the low-emissivity substance as impurities, thereby having an effect of increasing the sheet resistance.
The increase in sheet resistance in a high-temperature environment is a factor of, for example, a significant decrease in solar cell characteristics, because the resistance of the functional transparent film increases when high-temperature treatment such as a process of manufacturing a solar cell is performed. In addition, when the Low-E glass is produced, the Low emissivity substance is reduced, which causes deterioration of Low emissivity.
In contrast, in the present invention, SiO is further formed between the SiOxCy layer and the functional transparent film 2 The layer can suppress diffusion of C and realize high heat resistance without impairing the effects of high transmittance, color tone controllability, and the like obtained from the SiOxCy layer.
In contrast to SiOxCy layers, SiO 2 Since the layer has a dense film quality and high coverage, the diffusion and migration of C can be sufficiently suppressed even in a very thin layer of about 10 nm.
Furthermore, SiO 2 The layer is a flat film having a refractive index of about 1.44 to about 1.50. On the other hand, the SiOxCy layer and SiO are formed so that the SiOxCy layer has irregularities on the surface thereof depending on the film formation conditions and the refractive index thereof also greatly changes from 1.54 to 1.75 2 The degree of freedom in changing the refractive index and flatness of the entire structure as needed can be increased by stacking the layers.
The SiOxCy layer can easily change its refractive index by changing a slight difference in the content ratio of carbon C represented by y, and thus can control transmittance and color tone. In SiOxCy, the value of x may be in the range of 1.00 to 1.95, the value of y may be in the range of 0.05 to 1.00, the value of x is preferably 1.85 or less, and further preferably 1.20 or more, and the value of y is preferably 0.15 or more, and further preferably 0.80 or less. In addition, by reducing the ratio represented by y/x, the refractive index can be lowered. Conversely, by increasing the ratio represented by y/x, the refractive index can be increased.
From the viewpoint of sufficient coverage, the thickness of the SiOxCy layer is preferably 10nm or more, and more preferably 20nm or more. The thickness of the SiOxCy layer is preferably 90nm or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the absorption of light. The thickness of the SiOxCy layer can be determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or ellipsometry (spectroscopic measurement method エリプソメトリー).
From the viewpoint of sufficient coverage, SiO 2 The thickness of the layer is preferably 7nm or more, more preferably 10nm or more. In addition, from the viewpoint of optimization of optical design, SiO 2 The thickness of the layer is preferably 90nm or less, more preferably 50nm or less. In addition, SiO 2 The thickness of the layer can be determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or ellipsometry (spectroscopic エリプソメトリー).
(functional transparent film)
The functional transparent film may have at least one of conductivity and low emissivity, and the functional transparent film having low emissivity may be a metal film such as silver, SnO 2 Or ZnO 2 And the like, and therefore also has conductivity.
When the film-coated glass substrate is used as a transparent electrode for a solar cell, the resistivity of the functional transparent film is preferably 0.001 Ω · cm or less, more preferably 0.0008 Ω · cm or less, and still more preferably 0.0006 Ω · cm or less. The lower the resistivity of the functional transparent film, the more preferable, but in practice, the lower the resistivity is 0.0001 Ω · cm or more. In the present specification, the resistivity (R) of the functional transparent film t ) The measurement can be performed on the glass substrate with the film by using a hall effect measurement device.
In the case of using a film-coated glass substrate as the Low-E glass, the emissivity value of the functional transparent film is preferably 0.25 or less, and more preferably 0.20 or less. The lower the emissivity of the functional transparent film, the more preferable, but in practice, the lower the emissivity is 0.05 or more. The emissivity can be measured according to the method defined in JIS R3106: 2019.
The thickness of the functional transparent film is preferably 800nm or less, and more preferably 600nm or less, from the viewpoint of ensuring high transmittance. In addition, the thickness of the functional transparent film is preferably 300nm or more, more preferably 400nm or more, from the viewpoint of not excessively increasing the resistance. The thickness of the functional transparent film can be measured using a stylus type step meter or a fluorescent X-ray analyzer.
In addition, when a film-coated glass substrate is used as a transparent electrode substrate for a solar cell, sheet resistance is important as electrical characteristics of a functional transparent film. This is the resistance of the electrode film substantially defined by the resistivity/film thickness. By adjusting the resistivity and the film thickness, the sheet resistance can be set to a preferable value. The sheet resistance in this case is preferably 20 Ω/□ or less, and more preferably 12 Ω/□ or less, from the viewpoint of reducing voltage loss in the wiring.
The functional transparent film may be constituted by only one layer exhibiting at least one of conductivity and low emissivity and a light-transmitting property (light-transmitting property), and may have another layer having another function, and is not particularly limited.
When a film-coated glass substrate is used as a transparent electrode substrate for a solar cell, a conventionally known functional transparent film can be used as a functional transparent film exhibiting electrical conductivity and light transmittance, and for example, it is preferable that the main component is SnO 2 、ZnO、In 2 O 3 More preferably SnO 2 Or ZnO, more preferably SnO 2 . The main component of the functional transparent film is a content of 50 wt% or more, preferably 70 wt% or more, and more preferably 85 wt% or more, based on the total components constituting the film. The upper limit is not particularly limited, and when the main component is doped with a dopant, the upper limit is preferably 99.9 wt% or less.
As the dopant, F, Sb, Al, Ga, B are preferableSn, etc., preferably in an amount of 0.1 to 5.0 wt%. Examples of the doped film include: fluorine-doped SnO 2 In doped with Sn 2 O 3 In doped with fluorine 2 O 3 Antimony doped SnO 2 Al-doped ZnO, Ga-doped ZnO, and the like. Doping with a dopant generates conductive carriers and makes the resistance low, and is therefore preferable.
When a glass substrate with a film is used as the Low-E glass, a conventionally known functional transparent film can be used as the functional transparent film exhibiting Low emissivity and light transmittance. For example, it is preferable to be composed of a metal film and a protective film or a metal oxide film for protecting the metal film. As the metal film, for example, a film of Ag or the like is preferable. In this case, the protective film is preferably ZnO or SnO 2 And so on. As the metal oxide film, for example, SnO as a main component is preferable 2 、ZnO、In 2 O 3 More preferably SnO 2 Or ZnO, more preferably SnO 2 And may be doped with a dopant. The main component of the film is the same as that of the functional transparent film in the case where the film-attached glass substrate is used as a transparent electrode substrate for a solar cell.
In addition, the same dopant as that used for the functional transparent film in the case of using the film-attached glass substrate as the transparent electrode substrate for a solar cell can be used as the dopant in doping the dopant, and for example, SnO doped with fluorine at a high concentration can be listed 2 Antimony doped SnO 2 And the like.
The composition of the functional transparent film can be identified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS).
(glass substrate)
The glass substrate used may be the same glass substrate as that used for conventional transparent electrode substrates for solar cells and Low-E glass. For example, SiO-containing 2 、Al 2 O 3 、B 2 O 3 、MgO、CaO、SrO、BaO、ZrO 2 、Na 2 O and K 2 O as a basic composition. More specifically, it may contain 60 to 75% of SiO in terms of mole percentage based on oxide 2 1 to 7.5 percent of Al 2 O 3 0 to 1% of B 2 O 3 8.5 to 12.5 percent of MgO, 1 to 6.5 percent of CaO, 0 to 3 percent of SrO, 0 to 3 percent of BaO and 0 to 3 percent of ZrO 2 1 to 8 percent of Na 2 O and 2 to 12% of K 2 O glass substrate. However, the glass substrate of the present application is not limited to these compositions.
In consideration of the power generation efficiency of the solar cell and the light transmittance of the Low-E glass, the average transmittance of the glass substrate with respect to light having a wavelength of 500nm to 800nm is preferably 90.3% or more, more preferably 90.4% or more, and still more preferably 90.5% or more in terms of 2mm thickness. The average transmittance can be measured according to the method defined in JIS R3106: 2019.
In addition, the glass substrate preferably has good heat resistance because it may be exposed to a high-temperature environment or subjected to heat treatment when manufacturing a solar cell or when manufacturing Low-E glass.
Specifically, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is preferably 640 ℃ or higher, more preferably 645 ℃ or higher, and still more preferably 655 ℃ or higher. On the other hand, in order not to excessively increase the viscosity at the time of melting, the glass transition temperature is preferably 750 ℃ or less, more preferably 720 ℃ or less, and further preferably 690 ℃ or less. The glass transition temperature can be measured according to the method defined in JIS K7121-1987.
In addition, from the viewpoint of suppressing warpage of the module during assembly, the average thermal expansion coefficient of the glass substrate at 50 ℃ to 350 ℃ is preferably 70 × 10 -7 /. degree.C.or higher, more preferably 80X 10 -7 Above/° c. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing peeling or the like, the average thermal expansion coefficient of the glass substrate at 50 ℃ to 350 ℃ is preferably 90 × 10 -7 /. degree.C.or less, more preferably 85X 10 -7 Below/° c. It is to be noted that the average thermal expansion coefficient may be in accordance with JIS R3102-1995.

< method for producing glass substrate with film >
The film-attached glass substrate 1 can be obtained by laminating a SiOxCy layer 21 and SiO as the undercoat layer 20 in this order on the glass substrate 10 2 Layer 22, and functional transparent film 30.
Specifically, the glass substrate can be obtained by a melting step of heating a glass raw material to obtain molten glass, a fining step of removing bubbles from the molten glass, a forming step of forming the molten glass into a plate shape to obtain a glass ribbon, and a slow cooling step of slowly cooling the glass ribbon to a room temperature state. Alternatively, the glass substrate may be produced by forming molten glass into a block, slowly cooling the block, and then cutting and polishing the block.
The above-mentioned steps may be performed by various conventionally known methods. The manufacturing method is not limited to the embodiment, and modifications, improvements, and the like may be appropriately performed within a range in which the object of the present invention can be achieved.
Forming an SiOxCy layer and SiO as an undercoat layer in this order on a glass substrate 2 Layer, and then forming a functional transparent film.
The undercoat layer and the functional transparent film can be formed by a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, a sputtering method, an electroless plating method, a wet coating method, or the like. The sputtering method is a method for forming a film on a glass substrate to be manufactured, and the chemical plating method is a method for manufacturing a mirror.
Among them, the CVD method is preferable, and the on-line CVD method described later is more preferable.
Specifically, the in-line CVD method is a method for manufacturing a glass substrate with a film using a float process, and includes: a melting step of heating a glass raw material to obtain molten glass, a fining step of removing bubbles from the molten glass, and a step of forming the molten glass from which the bubbles have been removed into a sheet shapeA forming step of obtaining a glass ribbon and a slow cooling step of slowly cooling the glass ribbon to room temperature, and further preferably a film forming step of continuously forming a SiOxCy layer and SiO layer in this order on the surface of the glass ribbon by an in-line CVD method is included between the forming step and the slow cooling step 2 A layer and a functional transparent film.
The in-line CVD method is a kind of CVD method, and is a method of directly forming a film on a surface of glass in a process of manufacturing a glass substrate on a float line. That is, the undercoat layer and the functional transparent film are not formed after the glass substrate is obtained, but formed in the middle of the step of obtaining the glass substrate.
Specifically, in the production of a glass substrate, a glass ribbon is moved over a molten tin bath and then slowly cooled, thereby continuously producing a glass substrate, and a film forming step of an undercoat layer and a functional transparent film is continuously performed on the upper surface of the glass ribbon while the glass ribbon is being moved.
More specifically, in the above-described method for producing a glass substrate, a film-coated glass substrate is obtained by forming an undercoat layer and a functional transparent film while blowing a gas material onto the surface of glass and reacting the gas material while the glass is still hot between the float line and the slow cooling step in the forming step.
The inline CVD method is preferable because it can form an undercoat layer and a functional transparent film in a series of steps for producing a glass substrate, and thus can reduce the production cost. In this case, since the film is formed on-line, the composition of the layer to be formed is limited. For example, when a film-coated glass substrate is used as a transparent electrode substrate of a solar cell, a preferable embodiment includes an undercoat layer comprising a SiOxCy layer and SiO in this order 2 The layer and the functional transparent film are SnO doped with fluorine 2 A film as a main component. In the case of using a film-coated glass substrate as the Low-E glass, a preferable embodiment includes an undercoat layer comprising an SiOxCy layer and SiO layer in this order 2 The layer and the functional transparent film are doped with high concentrationFluorine-doped SnO 2 SnO doped with antimony 2 A film as a main component.
On the other hand, the off-line CVD method is also a kind of CVD method, and is a method of forming an undercoat layer and a functional transparent film by reaction of a gas material while feeding a glass substrate which is manufactured in advance through a glass manufacturing process and cut into an appropriate size into an electric furnace again, similarly to the on-line CVD method. While there is an advantage that the transport speed and the substrate temperature can be set according to the film formation, the manufacturing cost is increased as compared with the in-line CVD method
In the case of using the sputtering method, a very small amount of a special gas is injected into a vacuum chamber, and a voltage is applied to an appropriate sputtering target, whereby an undercoat layer and a functional transparent film are formed on a glass substrate, and a film-coated glass substrate is obtained.
Since the sputtering method forms a layer on a glass substrate on which a plate is previously formed, it is possible to form layers of desired various compositions, although it costs manufacturing.
In the case of the CVD method, the thickness of the undercoat layer and the functional transparent film can be controlled by the kind of the raw material, the concentration of the raw material gas, the blowing flow rate of the raw material gas to the glass ribbon or the glass substrate, the substrate temperature, the residence time of the reaction gas from the structure of the coating beam (コーティングビーム), and the like. In the case of the sputtering method, the thickness can be controlled by sputtering time, voltage, or the like.
