Problems solved by technology

At present, the research on improving the properties of thin films by laser irradiation is very common (see literature: [1] M.F.Chen, K.Lin, and Y.S.Ho.Materials Science and Engineering B 176 (2011) 127-131; [2] W.Lin , S.Varlamov, J.Dore, and M.Green. Materials Letters 107(2013) 1–4; [3] S.F.Tseng, W.T.Hsiao, D.Chiang, K.C.Huang, and C.P.Chou. Applied Surface Science 257(2011) 7204–7209), but the conditions are harsh, and the parameter range for performance optimization is small, and the use of ultrasonic transducer coupled with laser irradiation can make up for its shortcomings

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of laser surface treatment and thin-film material preparation, especially relates to a method for optimizing transparent conducting thin film performance by utilizing a cooperation of ultrasonic transduction and ultrashort-pulse laser irradiation. The method comprises the steps: a transparent conducting thin film is arranged on the surface of an ultrasonic transducer, the laser irradiation is performed on the transparent conducting thin film, at the same time, the ultrasonic transducer vibrates in a direction vertical to laser irradiation, so that the transparent conducting thin film vibrates in small amplitude and high frequency along the surface in a normal direction, a distance between the thin film surface and a laser focus is periodically changed in a small way, a laser parameter range for optimizing transparent conducting thin film performance is extended, and the surface of the thin film is easy to have an anneal function; the surface of the transparent conducting thin film absorbs laser energy and melts, the energy generated by the vibration can ensure the thin film fusion field to generate a core in solidification process in advance, add crystal cores and refine crystal particles, so that the density of the thin film is increased, the surface microstructure of the thin film is improved, and the thin film performance optimization is realized at last.
