热处理对磁控共溅射Bi2Te3薄膜结构及电学性能的影响

    Effect of Heat Treatment on Structure and Electrical Properties of Bi2Te3 Magnetron Co-sputtered Films

    • 摘要: Bi2Te3是窄禁带、低温性能最好的室温热电材料之一。采用多靶磁控共溅射工艺制备了Bi2Te3薄膜,并对不同退火条件下的薄膜结构和电学性能进行了观察测试,分析研究了退火温度对Bi2Te3薄膜结构及电学性能的影响机理。结果表明,退火温度明显影响Bi2Te3薄膜的结构及电学性能。当退火温度从200℃升高到400℃,薄膜沿着垂直于衬底方向生长的晶粒变粗大,且晶粒生长方向的一致性遭到破坏。当退火温度升高到400℃时,薄膜发生熔融相变再结晶。同时,随着退火温度的升高,薄膜功率因子从0.09×10-3W·m-1·K-2增加到0.21×10-3W·m-1·K-2。当退火温度增加到400℃时,薄膜的功率因子降低至0.16×10-3W·m-1·K-2。薄膜的功率因子在退火温度为350℃时到达最大值0.21×10-3W·m-1·K-2

       

      Abstract: The Bi2Te3 is one of the most promising thermoelectric materials for room temperature applications due to its narrow band gap and exceptional low temperature performance. In this study, Bi2Te3 films were fabricated using a multi-target magnetron co-sputtering process. The structural and electrical properties of these films were investigated under various annealing conditions, aiming to analyze the influence of annealing temperature on their characteristics. The results show that the annealing temperature significantly affects both the structure and electrical properties of Bi2Te3 films. Specifically, as the annealing temperature increases from 200 ℃ to 400 ℃, the grain growth becomes more pronounced perpendicular to the substrate while losing its directional consistency. At 400 ℃, a melt phase transformation occurs followed by recrystallization in the film. Concurrently, with the increase of the annealing temperature, the power factor of the film rises from 0.09×10-3W·m-1·K-2to 0.21×10-3W·m-1·K-2. When the annealing temperature increases to 400 ℃, the power factor of the film decreases to 0.16×10-3W·m-1·K-2, reaching a maximum value of 0.21×10-3W·m-1·K-2at the annealing temperature of 350 ℃.
