Description

ITO thin film suitable for flexible device and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ITO thin film low-temperature crystallization preparation methods, and particularly relates to an ITO thin film suitable for a flexible device and a preparation method of the ITO thin film suitable for the flexible device.
Background
Tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) is a heavily doped and highly degenerate n-type semiconductor, and is widely applied to the fields of touch screens, liquid crystal displays, gas sensors, solar cells, electrochromic devices and the like due to high visible light transmittance, low resistivity and good stability. At present, the preparation method of ITO mainly comprises a magnetron sputtering method, a chemical vapor deposition method, a sol-gel method and the like. The magnetron sputtering method belongs to a physical method, and the chemical vapor deposition method and the sol-gel method belong to a chemical method. The magnetron sputtering method requires a target material and has the following disadvantages: the deposition rate is slow, the target material is difficult to manufacture, difficult to recover, high vacuum is required, the cost is high and the like; the raw materials of the chemical vapor method are generally metal organic salts, so the cost is high and the pollution is serious; the sol-gel method can simultaneously prepare films on both sides of a large area, is suitable for industrialization, has low cost, and is an ideal process technology for preparing oxide films. The photoelectric property of the ITO is very sensitive to the annealing temperature, generally speaking, the higher the annealing temperature is, the better the light transmittance and the electrical conductivity of the ITO are, and conversely, the lower the annealing temperature is, the poorer the transparency and the electrical conductivity of the ITO are. Generally, the ITO thin film is annealed at a temperature of 500 to 550 ℃. However, the flexible substrate is a high polymer and is generally difficult to withstand a temperature of 350 ℃ or higher. Obviously, the sol-gel method is adopted to prepare the ITO film on the flexible substrate at low temperature, so that the use requirement of a flexible photoelectric device can be met, and the preparation requirements of other semiconductor microelectronic devices can also be met, such as an all-solid-state electrochromic glass device with a multilayer film structure (a plurality of film layers with amorphous structures are arranged in the device, and the stability can be kept only in an environment below 350 ℃). In addition, the sol-gel technology can also realize the simultaneous film preparation on two sides of the substrate, and compared with the technology of realizing the industrial preparation of the ITO film such as magnetron sputtering, the film preparation efficiency is higher, and the method is more suitable for the industrialized large-area double-sided film preparation. In summary, it is an urgent need to develop an ITO thin film suitable for flexible devices and a double-sided simultaneous film-forming technology thereof.
