Problems solved by technology

However, ITO products have the following problems: (1) the mineable amount of indium element is limited, and the cost is increasing; (2) the mechanical flexibility of ITO is poor, which is difficult to meet the application requirements of new flexible optoelectronic devices; (3) high temperature (several Hundred degrees Celsius) post-deposition treatment to mainly improve their electrical properties, this high temperature process will affect its compatibility with some active materials or organic composite materials
However, the multi-layer structure will inevitably increase the cost and process complexity

Embodiment 1

[0040] (1) Ultra-clear glass with a thickness of 1mm was used as a transparent substrate, and the glass was ultrasonically cleaned with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water, and dried with N 2 Blow dry, and then treat the glass surface with ultraviolet ozone for 20 minutes, then put it into the magnetron sputtering chamber immediately, and start vacuuming.

[0041] (2) Wait until the vacuum degree of the magnetron sputtering chamber reaches 5×10 -4 Below Pa, feed 40sccm high-purity argon as the deposition gas. A DC sputtering metal Ag target was used, the DC sputtering power was 20W, and the sputtering time was controlled to obtain a 9nm thick Ag film. After the film deposition was completed, the sample was taken out to obtain a glass / Ag (9nm) sample. During the preparation process, the substrate temperature was room temperature, and the substrate was kept rotating to ensure the uniformity of the film.

Embodiment 3

[0056] (1) Ultra-clear glass with a thickness of 1mm was used as a transparent substrate, and the glass was ultrasonically cleaned with acetone, ethanol, and deionized water, and dried with N 2 Dry it, then put it into the magnetron sputtering chamber immediately, and start vacuuming.

[0057] (2) Wait until the vacuum degree of the magnetron sputtering chamber reaches 5×10 -4 Below Pa, feed 40sccm high-purity argon as the deposition gas. A DC sputtering metal Ag target was used, the DC sputtering power was 20W, and the sputtering time was controlled to obtain a 6nm thick Ag film. After the film deposition was completed, the sample was taken out to obtain a glass / Ag (6nm) sample. During the preparation process, the substrate temperature was room temperature, and the substrate was kept rotating to ensure the uniformity of the film.

Abstract

The invention discloses a transparent electrode based on an ultra-thin metallic film. The transparent electrode orderly comprises a transparent substrate, a metal layer and a metal oxide layer from bottom to top, wherein the thickness of the metal layer is 3 to 12nm. The substrate is modified by a monomolecular self-assembled layer; an ultra-thin metal layer is directly deposited on the substrate, and the continuity and conductivity of the ultra-thin metallic film are improved through the function of the monomolecular self-assembled layer; or through the co-deposition of metals, the continuous growth of the ultra-thin metallic film is realized directly on the substrate; and a metal oxide layer is deposited on the substrate as an antireflection layer, then a double-layer film system structure is obtained, and through the design and optimization of the double-layer film system structure, the maximization of transmittance is realized. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the transparent electrode based on the ultra-thin metallic film and an application thereof in photoelectric devices, wherein the transparent electrode can have good conductivity and high transmittance at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrodes, and in particular relates to a transparent electrode based on an ultra-thin metal film and a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] Transparent conductive films, because of their high transmittance in visible light and low resistivity, are widely used in various optoelectronic devices, including solar cells, image sensors, liquid crystal displays, organic electroluminescent (OLED) and touch screen panels. From an application point of view, in addition to large optical transparency in the required wavelength range and appropriate conductivity, transparent electrodes should also have other advantages such as ease of processing (e.g., possibility of large-scale deposition), and the ability to form the same device ( For example, compatibility with other materials of the active layer), stability with respect to temperature, mechanical and chemical stress, and the ...
