Specific embodiment
[embodiment 1]
Below based on FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, illustrate the embodiment of the vacuum deposition apparatus menifold of online vapor deposition mode of the invention
1。
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, in the vacuum evaporation room for remaining vacuum state, above-mentioned menifold 11 is moved with fixed speed
The vapor deposited surface of dynamic substrate (by vapor deposition substrate) 12 is oppositely disposed.On the opposed faces 11a of menifold 11, moved respectively in substrate 12
The front and back in dynamic direction is provided with nozzle rows 14F, 14R, and multiple ejections of said nozzle column 14F, 14R are with nozzle 13 along width
Degree direction is provided projectingly with defined injector spacing P.Here, as shown in Fig. 2, injector spacing P refers in each nozzle rows 14F, 14R
The jet hole 15 of adjacent ejection nozzle 13 and the distance of jet hole 15.
The ejection of nozzle rows 14F, 14R of front and back is oppositely disposed on the moving direction of substrate 12 with nozzle 13.
In above-mentioned ejection with being respectively formed with jet hole 15 on the front end face of nozzle 13.In addition, in order to will be by crucible (not shown) to steaming
It plates material to carry out in evaporation material importing menifold 11 obtained from heating evaporation, in the opposite with nozzle 13 with ejection of menifold 11
Material introducing port 16 is formed on opposing face, material introducing port 16 is connect with the material ingress pipe 17 that internal diameter is d.
Nozzle rows 14F, 14R of front and back are configured to separate defined distance with material introducing port 16, and into one
Step is configured to separate nozzle rows interval Lp on the moving direction of substrate 12.Nozzle rows 14F, 14R and material introducing port of front and back
16 distance is to make the evaporation material supplied from material introducing port 16 equably import ejection nozzle 13.In addition, front and back
Nozzle rows 14F, 14R in both ends ejection with nozzle 13 configure corresponding with the both sides edge of substrate 12 of width Ws
On position.
Menifold 11 has the inner space that the evaporation material imported from material introducing port 16 can be made uniformly to spread, the menifold
11 formation anterior-posterior lengths are Lm, width Wm, are highly the cuboid of Hm, and are provided with and block on substrate opposed faces 11a
The coldplate (not shown) for carrying out the radiant heat of self-reference substrate 12, being provided on left and right side and front and back sides prevents evaporation material attached
Heater (not shown).Also, substrate 12 separates defined vapor deposition distance S relative to jet hole 15 and is moved.Pressure
The leading flank of menifold 11 is arranged in detection mouth 18, and the trailing flank of menifold 11 is arranged in vapor deposition rate detection mouth 19.
As shown in Fig. 2, the substrate that menifold 11 is uprightly arranged in the cylindric nozzle body 13a of ejection nozzle 13 is opposed
On the 11a of face, on the front end face of nozzle body 13a, the end plate 13b with jet hole 15 is installed to form throttle orifice.
If the bore of jet hole 15 is D ' (mm), the nozzle of the ejection nozzle 13 of each nozzle rows 14F, 14R
Spacing P meets formula below (1).
D ' < P < 1.11 × S ... formula (1)
That is, the configuration of the ejection nozzle 13 of inline process type menifold 11 is as shown in Figure 3A, relative to any substrate width
Deposited substrate 12, (theoretically) become limitless number column, when assuming that the ejection flow from whole ejections nozzle 13
When fixed, the film thickness uniformity of above-mentioned deposited substrate 12 is related with the injector spacing P of nozzle 13 to ejection.As shown in Figure 3B,
Right above the arrangement of ejection nozzle 13 to deposited substrate 12 be deposited film thickness distribution it is as follows: ejection nozzle 13 just
The accumulative film thickness that top is deposited is most thick, and the top of the intermediate point (1/2P) of adjacent ejection nozzle 13 is most thin.In addition,
Herein due to D ' < P, so not including the jet hole of slit-shaped.It is maximum also, as shown in Figure 4 A, if injector spacing P is small
The film thickness difference of film thickness and minimum thickness becomes smaller, as shown in Figure 4 B, if injector spacing P is big, maximum film thickness and minimum thickness
Film thickness difference becomes larger.When maximum film thickness is dmax, minimum thickness is dmin, film thickness uniformity is indicated using formula below (2).
Film thickness uniformity=[(dmax-dmin)/(dmax+dmin)] × 100 (%) ... formula (2)
In this way, since film thickness uniformity is related to maximum film thickness and minimum thickness, so related to injector spacing P.Also,
By making above-mentioned film thickness uniformity within ± 5%, it is able to maintain the quality of product.
Fig. 5 is that analog representation does not limit the number of ejection nozzle 13 and sprays from whole ejection nozzles 13 same amount of
When evaporation material, the coordinate diagram of the maximum value of injector spacing P of the film thickness uniformity less than ± 5% is made in the case where distance S is deposited.
It,, can by making injector spacing P be greater than D ' and less than 1.11 times of vapor deposition distance S as shown in formula (1) according to Fig. 5
So that film thickness uniformity is within ± 5% as product with practicability.
Although the utilization efficiency of material declines here, injector spacing P is smaller, more can be improved the uniformity of film thickness.
Therefore, the ejection nozzle 13 of the sequential like not comprising P≤D ', i.e. slit-shaped.In addition, in each nozzle rows 14F, 14R, it is mechanical
It is not intended to injector spacing P in 20mm or less in structure.In addition, as aftermentioned embodiment 2, when interconnected nozzle rows 14F,
When the ejection nozzle 13 of 14R, in the case where being observed from the front deposited substrate 12, injector spacing P can be approached ad infinitum
In 0, thereby, it is possible to take into account the utilization efficiency of film thickness uniformity and material.
In this way, injector spacing P is smaller, more can be improved the uniformity of film thickness, but the utilization efficiency of material declines.If
Make the uniformity of film thickness left and right within ± 5%, then injector spacing P can be made to broaden and improve the utilization efficiency of material.
Here, when the internal diameter of nozzle body 13a is D (mm), nozzle length is L (mm), the bore of jet hole 15 is D '
(mm) when, ejection nozzle 13 meets following formula (3).
When L >=9 × D, D '≤2.7 × D2/L
When L 9 × D of <, D '≤D/3 ... formula (3)
Organic material for forming organic EL film obtains above-mentioned formula (3).When meeting above-mentioned formula (3) [in Fig. 6 (L >=
When 9 × D) LD '/D2Greater than 0 and in 2.7 regions below or Fig. 7 (when L 9 × D of <) D '/D be greater than 0 and 1/3 with
Under region], the evaporation material sprayed from the jet hole 15 of each ejection nozzle 13 to substrate 12 is according to cosnθ rule, i.e. with
cosnθ curve approximation.At this point, since the evaporation material sprayed from the jet hole 15 of ejection nozzle 13 is on the surface of substrate 12
(vapor deposited surface) sufficiently diffusion is to be deposited, so can be improved the uniformity of film thickness.
As shown in fig. 6, when L >=9 × D, in D ' × L/D2Greater than 0 and in 2.7 regions below, n value is about 4.00~
4.25.In addition, as shown in fig. 7, when L 9 × D of <, it is greater than 0 in D '/D and in 1/3 region below, n value is about 4.05~
4.25.In cosnN value is smaller in θ rule, evaporates material gets over the diffusion into the surface in substrate 12 to be deposited, to improve film
Thick uniformity.Most preferably n value is about 4.05~4.10, at this point, being D ' × L/D when L >=9 shown in fig. 6 × D2Greater than 1.1
And at 1.8 regions below, 9 × D of L < shown in Fig. 7, it is greater than 0 for D '/D and in 0.18 region below.
Here, if it is as shown in fig. 6, D ' × L/D when L >=9 × D2Greater than 2.7, or as shown in fig. 7,9 × D of L <
When D '/D be greater than 1/3, then the evaporation material sprayed from the jet hole 15 of each ejection nozzle 13 to substrate 12 is not according to cosnθ is fixed
Then, it is not deposited equably on the substrate 12.As a result, the film thickness of the part opposite with jet hole 15 of substrate 12 excessively becomes
Thickness hampers uniformity.In addition, herein from the viewpoint of machining accuracy, such as the bore D ' of jet hole 15 is set in 1mm
More than.
In accordance with the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the front and back of 12 moving direction of substrate is provided with nozzle rows 14F, 14R, it is above-mentioned
Nozzle rows 14F, 14R configure ejection nozzle 13 with defined injector spacing P, are matched by opposite on the moving direction of substrate 12
Each ejection nozzle 13 is set, evaporation rate can be improved.Even if as a result, the bore of jet hole 15 it is small and make spray runner conduction
Rate becomes smaller, and defined vapor deposition rate can also be configured to ensure that by multiple row.
In addition, by making the injector spacing P of the ejection of each nozzle rows 14F, 14R nozzle 13 be greater than the bore of jet hole 15
D ' and be less than vapor deposition 1.11 times of distance S, can make film thickness uniformity ± 5% required for as product within.
In addition, meeting D '≤2.7 × D when by using L >=9 × D in nozzle 13 in each ejection2When/L, L 9 × D of <
Meet D '≤D/3 ejection nozzle 13, the disperse state of the evaporation material sprayed from jet hole 15 can be made according to cosnθ is fixed
Then become uniformly, so as to improve the uniformity of attachment film thickness.
