Description

Nanowire, nanowire lattice structure and nanowire manufacturing method {NANOWIRE, NANOWIRE GRID STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A NANOWIRE}

The present invention relates to the field of nanowire manufacturing technology.

Nanowires are wire structures of nanometer-scale size, ranging in size from less than 10 nm in diameter to those of several hundred nm in diameter. Such nanowires have an advantage in that they can use optical properties indicating movement characteristics or polarization of electrons in a specific direction. Accordingly, the present invention is widely applied to various fields such as an optical device such as a laser, a transistor, and a memory device, and has been spotlighted as a material for forming a transparent transparent electrode having flexibility by replacing the conventional ITO transparent electrode, which lacks flexibility.

However, research on the manufacturing method and physical properties of nanoparticles is very active at present, and there is little research on manufacturing method of nanowires. Conventional nanowire manufacturing methods include a method of growing a nanowire metal using a catalyst and a method of forming nanowires using a template. First, a method of forming a nanowire material using a template is prepared by anodizing an alumina membrane composed of holes having a diameter of several tens of nanometers and a few micro depths, and then forming the nanowire material in the formed holes. And a method of depositing the nanowire material in a gaseous state and depositing it in the hole. Specifically, U.S. Patent No. 6,525,461 discloses a technique for forming a nanopowder on a substrate by forming a catalyst film on a substrate and forming a porous layer on the substrate to form a titanium nanowire in the pore . In addition, U.S. Patent No. 6,139,626 discloses a method of forming a quantum dot solid by injecting colloidal nanocrystals into pores formed in a template and then performing heat treatment or the like to form a quantum dot solid using a template have. However, the nanowire manufacturing method according to the above-described technique is not suitable for mass production because the process is too complicated, takes a long time, and it is difficult to control the uniformity. Therefore, nanowire having excellent linearity and alignment can not be formed .

That is, a method of growing a nanowire using a mixture of a nanowire material and a metal as a raw material and a metal catalyst as a nucleus. However, the above-described method has a problem that the maximum formation length of nanowires is limited, and a high-temperature heat treatment process is required, which is not suitable for mass production. Further, in the case of the VLS growth method, since the nanowire is limited by the diameter and the distribution of the metal catalyst, it is difficult to control the accurate width (thickness) and its distribution, and contamination by the metal catalyst in the nanowire. This is also a problem. In addition, the VLS growth method has high manufacturing costs due to high equipment cost, low growth rate due to low growth rate, and also there is a limit inadequate for mass production of nanowires.

That is, most of the conventional methods for manufacturing nanowires are not suitable for mass production of nanowires having excellent physical properties at low cost, and therefore, there is a need to develop a new nanowire manufacturing method.

In addition, various materials may be used. In addition, when the grid pattern 131 is formed of a photocurable polymer, the substrate 110 of the present invention is preferably formed of a transparent material capable of transmitting light, but is not limited thereto.

On the substrate 110, a grid base layer 130 and a plurality of grid patterns 131 are formed. The lattice base layer 130 may be formed of a photocurable polymer or a thermosetting polymer and the lattice pattern 131 may be formed by a nanoimprinting process of transferring a pattern by pressing the lattice base layer 130 with an imprint mold have. At this time, the width A of the grid pattern 131 may be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the width of the nanowire to be fabricated and the manufacturing process, and more specifically, it may be formed in a range of 20 to 200 nanometers. It is not.

The sacrificial layer 140 is formed on the top and side surfaces of the grating pattern 131 as shown in the drawing. The sacrificial layer 140 of the present invention is configured to easily separate the lattice pattern 131 and the nanowire base layer. According to the present invention, the sacrificial layer 140 prevents damage to the nanowires that may occur during the separation process and simplifies the process. This has the advantage of improving the efficiency of the process. The sacrificial layer 140 may be formed by depositing the sacrificial layer material on the lattice pattern 131 using any deposition method that is currently developed and commercialized, such as a sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, and an evaporation method, or may be implemented according to future technological developments.

Meanwhile, the sacrificial layer material forming the sacrificial layer 140 may be variously selected according to the nanowire material to be deposited for forming nanowires later. That is, a material different from the nanowire material and the etching solution may be used as the sacrificial layer material of the present invention, and more specifically, a material having a large wettability and a wet etching selectivity may be used as the sacrificial layer material. For example, when the nanowire material is any one of Poly-Si, SiC, SiN, TiN, Ti, Al, oxide may be used as the sacrificial layer material. In addition, when the nanowire material is any one of oxide, SiC, and SiN, polysilicon may be used as the sacrificial layer material. When the nanowire material is Ni, Cu or Al may be used as the sacrificial layer material, and when the nanowire material is Ag, Al may be used as the sacrificial layer material. In addition, when the nanowire material is Au, any one of Cu, Ni, and Al may be used as the sacrificial layer material, and when the nanowire material is Cu, Al, Zn, or Ti may be used as the sacrificial layer material. In the opposite case, it is of course also possible to use Cu as the sacrificial layer material, for example when the nanowire material is Al, Zn or Ti.

However, the above description is just one example, and in addition, the sacrificial layer material may be variously selected and used according to the type of the nanowire material. That is, it will be said that the sacrificial layer of the present invention can be formed using any other material between the nanowire material and the etching solution.

The nanowire base layer including the nanowire layer 170 and the upper blackening layer 190 is formed on the sacrificial layer 140.

The nanowire layer 170 is a main part of the nanowire later, and is sacrificed through all deposition methods that are currently developed and commercialized, such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, and evaporation, or can be implemented according to future technological developments. It may be formed by depositing nanowire materials on the top and sides of the layer 140. In this case, the nanowire layer 170 is preferably formed in a structure in which voids 132 are provided between the grid patterns 131, but is not limited thereto. The gap 132 formed to be spaced apart between the grid patterns 131 is provided so that the nanowires can be physically easily separated from the nanowire base layer later. On the other hand, the nanowire material forming the nanowire layer 170 may be appropriately selected according to the user's needs, such as metal, metal oxide, nitride, silicon. In particular, when a metal having excellent electrical conductivity, such as Ag or Cu, is used as a nanowire material, a transparent electrode that replaces ITO can be formed by using a nanowire to be formed later, and a transparent electrode is formed by using nanowire. Flexibility can be secured to increase the benefits, product freedom and utilization that can be applied to the flexible display.

The upper blackening layer 190 is formed on the upper surface of the nanowire layer 170, and the upper blackening layer 190 is visible when the nanowire layer 170 formed of a metal material is used for the transparent electrode to prevent reflection of the metal itself. Serves to improve The upper blackening layer 190 may be formed of a material such as Cr, CrO 2 to prevent reflection of light, but is not limited thereto. In addition, ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , Si 3 N 4 , AlN, Ta 2 It can be made of any material that can prevent the reflection of light such as O. On the other hand, the formation of the upper blackening layer 190 is formed on the nanowire layer 170 through all deposition methods that are currently developed and commercialized, such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, and evaporation, or can be implemented according to future technological developments. It can be made by depositing the above-described material on. In addition, the thickness of the upper blackening layer 190 may be formed in the range of more than 0 to 10nm or less, but is not limited thereto and may be appropriately changed as necessary.

Meanwhile, the nanowire base layer may further include an additional blackening layer in addition to the upper blackening layer 190 described above. Referring to FIG. 1B, the nanowire base layer in the present embodiment further includes a lower blackening layer 150 formed between the sacrificial layer 140 and the nanowire layer 170. In this case, the lower blackening layer 150 is formed by depositing a light reflecting material on the sacrificial layer 140, and the method of forming and depositing material are the same as those of the upper blackening layer 190. Omit.

According to the present embodiment, as the lower blackening layer 150 is further formed, the blackening layer may be formed on the entire surface of the nanowire obtained from the nanowire base layer later, thereby further preventing metal reflection. .

Meanwhile, although not shown in the drawing, the nanowire base layer may have a structure having only the lower blackening layer 150. That is, the nanowire base layer of the present invention may have a structure including at least one of the upper blackening layer 190 and the lower blackening layer 150 and the nanowire layer 170.

When using the nanowire lattice structure of the present invention having the above-described structure, it is possible to obtain nanowires through a nanowire separation process such as a simple sacrificial layer etching process and ultrasonic vibration later, nanowires at room temperature without high temperature heat treatment process To produce nanowires at low cost, and to prevent nanowire damages that may occur during separation of the lattice pattern and the nanowire base layer, and to simplify the process. This has the advantage of improving the efficiency of the process. In addition, the benefits of mass production of nanowires and the advantage of manufacturing nanowires with high uniformity despite mass production are additionally realized.

Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a nanowire manufacturing method according to the present invention.

1 and 2, in the method of manufacturing nanowires according to the present invention, a lattice pattern is formed on a substrate (S10), a sacrificial layer is formed on the lattice pattern (S30), and at least one on the sacrificial layer. Forming a nanowire base layer having a blackening layer of (S50), and etching the sacrificial layer to separate the nanowire base layer and the lattice pattern (S70), and the nanowires in the nanowire base layer Separation (S90) may be further included.

Here, the process of forming the grid pattern on the substrate (S10) can be made as follows. First, a polymer material such as UV resin, which is a photo-curable polymer, is applied on a substrate to form a lattice base layer. The description of the material of the substrate is the same as that described above in the description of FIG. Then, the imprint mold having grooves and protrusions on the upper part of the lattice base layer is aligned. Here, the plurality of grooves and protrusions of the imprint mold are repeatedly formed at a predetermined distance from each other. Further, the grooves of the imprint mold correspond to the positions where the grid pattern is to be formed.

Thereafter, the groove portion of the imprint mold is pressed so as to be in contact with the lattice base layer, and then photo-curing is performed by irradiating ultraviolet rays. Accordingly, a plurality of grid patterns are formed on the upper portion of the grid base layer at portions corresponding to the grooves of the imprint mold. At this time, the imprint mold may be made of a transparent material such as quartz so that light (for example, ultraviolet rays) can be transmitted, and may be made of a flexible material to enable a roll-to-roll process. Meanwhile, the width W of the groove may be specifically in the range of 20 nm to 200 nm, but is not limited thereto. And the width of the lattice pattern formed at the portion corresponding to the groove is in the range of 20 nm to 200 nm. It should be understood that this is only an example, and that the width of the imprint mold groove and the width of the lattice pattern can be appropriately changed in consideration of the width of the nanowire to be formed later.

In the above-described embodiments, the material for forming the lattice base layer is a photo-curable polymer. Alternatively, a thermosetting polymer may be used. In this case, the lattice base layer is pressed with an imprint mold, It is possible to form the grid pattern of the invention. For example, the lattice pattern of the present invention may be formed by forming a lattice base layer with a thermosetting polymer and then pressing the lattice base layer with a heated imprint mold to cure the lattice base layer. On the other hand, when the material forming the lattice base layer is a thermosetting polymer, the imprint mold is preferably made of a material capable of withstanding the heating and high-pressure process.

Since the sacrificial layer is formed on the upper and side surfaces of the grid pattern (S30), the sacrificial layer may be formed as follows.

The sacrificial layer material is deposited on the lattice pattern formed in step S10. In this case, the deposition of the sacrificial layer material may be performed using any deposition method that is currently developed and commercialized, such as a sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, and an evaporation method, or may be implemented according to future technological developments. In this case, the sacrificial layer material may be variously selected according to the nanowire material to be deposited for forming nanowires later, and a material different from the nanowire material and the etching solution may be used as the sacrificial layer material of the present invention. Nanowire materials and materials having high wet etching selectivity may be used as the sacrificial layer materials. For example, when the nanowire material is any one of Poly-Si, SiC, SiN, TiN, Ti, Al, oxide may be used as the sacrificial layer material. In addition, when the nanowire material is any one of oxide, SiC, and SiN, polysilicon may be used as the sacrificial layer material. When the nanowire material is Ni, Cu or Al may be used as the sacrificial layer material, and when the nanowire material is Ag, Al may be used as the sacrificial layer material. In addition, when the nanowire material is Au, any one of Cu, Ni, and Al may be used as the sacrificial layer material, and when the nanowire material is Cu, Al or Ti may be used as the sacrificial layer material. Of course, it is also possible to use Cu as a sacrificial layer material in the opposite case, for example when the nanowire material is Al or Ti.

Thereafter, the nanowire base layer is formed on the sacrificial layer (S50), and the formation of the nanowire base layer may be performed as follows.

In the case where only the lower blackening layer is formed on the nanowire base layer, all deposition methods, such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, and evaporation, that have been developed and commercialized or implemented according to future technology development, may be used. Deposit a light antireflective material. At this time, Cr, CrO 2 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , Si 3 N 4 , AlN, Ta 2 O, etc. may be used as the anti-reflective material, but is not limited thereto, and the deposition thickness is formed in a range of more than 0 and 10 nm or less. It may be changed, but may be appropriately changed according to the required nanowire specifications as described above in the description of FIG.

After that, the nanowire layer is formed by depositing the nanowire material on the lower blackening layer by any deposition method that is currently developed and commercialized or implemented according to future technological development, such as sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, and evaporation. . The nanowire material may be formed of a material different from the sacrificial layer material and the etching solution, and the material may be made of at least one of metal, metal oxide, nitride, and ceramic. For example, metals such as Ag, Cu, Al, Cr, Ni, Au, metal oxides such as AgO, Al 2 O 3 , ZnO, ITO, Si or ceramic materials such as SiO 2 , SiN, SiC may be used as the nanowire material. have. However, this is just one example, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition, various materials may be deposited on the lattice pattern as nanowire materials according to the purpose of use. In particular, when a metal having excellent electrical conductivity, such as Ag or Cu, is used as the nanowire material, the transparent electrode replacing ITO can be formed using the nanowire to be formed as described above with reference to FIG. 1. In this case, it is preferable that the nanowire material is deposited to have voids without filling all of the lattice patterns, as described above with reference to FIG. 1.

Meanwhile, when the lower blackening layer and the upper blackening layer are formed on the nanowire base layer, the upper blackening layer may be formed by again depositing an anti-reflective material on the nanowire layer after forming the nanowire layer. In this case, the method of forming the upper blackening layer, the material used and the thickness thereof are omitted as in the case of the lower blackening layer.

When only the upper blackening layer is formed on the nanowire base layer, the nanowire material is deposited on the sacrificial layer to form the nanowire layer, and the light antireflective material is deposited on the nanowire layer to form the upper blackening layer. The description of the nanowire layer and the description of the upper blackening layer are the same as described above, and thus will be omitted.

After forming the nanowire base layer through the process of S10 to S50 described above, the nanowire base layer and the lattice pattern is separated (S70), wherein the separation of the nanowire base layer and the lattice pattern is a grid pattern in step S30 It can be made by etching the sacrificial layer formed on. In this case, the etchant used may be variously selected and combined according to the type of the sacrificial layer material.

Since it is possible to separate the nanowires through a physical method such as applying an ultrasonic vibration to the nanowire base layer (S90), such a nanowire manufacturing method has the advantage of manufacturing nanowires at a low manufacturing cost at room temperature, The advantages of mass production of nanowires and the production of nanowires with high uniformity are obtained despite mass production. In addition, since the lattice pattern formed on the substrate can be recycled in the nanowire manufacturing process, economical benefits are further realized to further reduce manufacturing costs. In addition, when the sacrificial layer forming process, the blackening layer (upper blackening layer or lower blackening layer) forming process, and the nanowire layer forming process are performed by the same process (e.g. sputtering process), the process continuity can be secured. This further improves the effect.

Figure 3a to 3j is a manufacturing process diagram showing a nanowire manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a manufacturing process in the case where the nanowire base layer includes both an upper blackening layer and a lower blackening layer will be described. However, this is only one example and only one of the upper blackening layer or the lower blackening layer may be formed. As described above.

1 to 3J, a lattice base layer 130 is formed by coating a polymer material on the substrate 110 as shown in FIG. 3A.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3B, the imprint mold 210 is aligned on the lattice base layer 130. Here, the imprint mold 210 has a plurality of protrusions 211 arranged at regular intervals and a plurality of grooves formed between the protrusions, as described above with reference to FIG. Here, the width W of the groove may be more specifically formed in the range of 20 nm to 200 nm, but the present invention is not limited thereto as described in the description of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3C, after pressing the upper portion of the grating base layer 130 with the imprint mold 210, the imprint mold 210 is separated to form the grating pattern 131 as shown in FIG. 3D. At this time, before the grating base layer 130 is pressed and separated by the imprint mold 210, a photocuring process is performed through a heat curing process or a light (for example, ultraviolet ray) process depending on the kind of material constituting the grating base layer 130 .

After the lattice pattern is formed, the sacrificial layer 140 is formed by depositing a sacrificial layer material on the lattice pattern 131 as shown in FIG. 3E. The deposition of the sacrificial layer material may be performed by a sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, an evaporation method, or the like. Herein, a material different from the nanowire material and the etching solution may be used as the sacrificial layer material, and more specifically, a material having a high selectivity between the nanowire material and the wet etching may be used as the sacrificial layer material.

After the sacrificial layer 140 is formed, the lower blackening layer 150 is formed by depositing an anti-reflective material on the lattice pattern 131 on which the sacrificial layer 140 is formed, as shown in FIG. 3F. The lower blackening layer 150 forms nanowires made of a metal material, and when applied to a transparent electrode, prevents reflection of light to improve visibility of the display device.

As the anti-reflective material used herein, materials such as Cr, CrO 2 , ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , Si 3 N 4 , AlN, Ta 2 O may be used, but are not limited thereto. In addition, as a deposition method, any deposition method currently developed and commercialized or implemented according to future technology development, such as a sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, and an evaporation method, may be used, and the thickness of the lower blackening layer 150 may be used. May be formed in a range of more than 0 and 10 nm or less, but is not limited thereto. As described above with reference to FIG. 1.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3G, the nanowire material is deposited on the lattice pattern 131 on which the lower blackening layer 150 is formed to form the nanowire layer 170. In this case, it is preferable that the nanowire layer 170 is formed such that a gap 132 is provided between the lattice patterns 131 as shown in FIG. 3G to facilitate the nanowire separation process later. As described above in the description.

The nanowire material deposited on the grating pattern 131 may be formed of a material different from the sacrificial layer material and the etchant, and may be at least one of metal (eg, Ag or Cu), metal oxide, nitride, and ceramic. The deposition method may be any deposition method that is currently developed and commercialized, such as a sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, an evaporation method, or may be implemented according to future technological developments. same.

After the nanowire layer 170 is formed, an upper blackening layer 190 is formed on the nanowire layer 170 as shown in FIG. 3H. In this case, the upper blackening layer 190 may be formed by depositing an anti-reflective material, and the type, the formation method, and the thickness of the material are the same as those of the lower blackening layer 150, and thus will be omitted.

After the upper blackening layer 190 is formed, the sacrificial layer 140 is etched using an etching solution, so that the nanowire base layer A can be separated from the lattice pattern 131 as shown in FIG. 3I. . In this case, the etchant used may be variously selected and combined according to the type of the sacrificial layer material. According to this, by separating the lattice pattern and the nanowire base layer (A) in an easy process of etching the sacrificial layer, the advantage of preventing damage to the nanowire base layer (A) that can occur during the separation process and the process of the process according to the process simplification There is an advantage that the efficiency is improved.

Etching the sacrificial layer 140 yields a nanowire base layer A as shown in FIG. 3J. When ultrasonic vibration is applied to the nanowire base layer A, a relatively thin portion P is obtained. This breaks, and thus, each nanowire can be obtained. At this time, the width of the prepared nanowire is preferably 50 ~ 200nm, the ratio of the length and width of the nanowire is preferably 1000: 1 or more.

As such, by implementing the nanowire having the upper blackening layer or the lower blackening layer formed on the surface, it is possible to prevent the reflection of light, thereby improving the visibility and securing the flexibility. It will be able to replace ITO transparent electrode.

Figure 4 shows an enlarged 10,000 times the actual image of the nanowires prepared in accordance with the present invention, it can be seen that there is an advantage that can be produced in a uniform nanowire mass in accordance with the present invention.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, Those skilled in the art will appreciate that many suitable modifications and variations are possible in light of the present invention. Accordingly, all such modifications and variations as fall within the scope of the present invention should be considered.
