2. Description of the Related Art When a metal or an alloy is heated and evaporated in a vacuum, the evaporated material is contained in a vapor deposition boat as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and an electric current is passed between electrodes of the vapor deposition boat to perform resistance heating. The evaporate is evaporated. However, when the vaporized material has good wettability with respect to the vapor deposition boat, the vaporized material melted by resistance heating reaches the outside through the inclined wall of the vaporized material storage part of the vapor deposition boat and further reaches the electrode. That phenomenon occurs. Since the temperature rise due to resistance heating is insufficient in the outer portion, the evaporated material does not completely evaporate, so that the film thickness of the vapor deposition film becomes thin accordingly, resulting in a problem that the film thickness accuracy becomes low. In addition, since the evaporation material that has reached the electrode is hardened there without evaporating, it is difficult to remove the evaporation boat. In order to prevent such a phenomenon, it is possible to increase the depth of the accommodating portion of the vapor deposition boat, but in that case, high power is required.

Has an accommodating portion 4 for an evaporate 3 formed of a wall 2 inclined on all sides. Electrodes 5 are provided at both ends of the vapor deposition boat 1, and when the vaporized material 3 is accommodated in the accommodation portion 4 and a current is passed between the electrodes, the vaporized material 3 is melted and evaporated by resistance heating. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the conventional vapor deposition boat 1, the melted vaporized material 3 flows over the inclined wall 2 of the housing portion 4 toward the electrode 5 and reaches the electrode 5. There is also. Since the outer part 7 of the inclined wall 2 is not sufficiently heated,
The evaporate 3 that has flowed out does not evaporate sufficiently there. Therefore, it is not possible to obtain a vapor deposition film having a predetermined film thickness. Further, the vaporized material 3 that has flowed out adheres to the electrode 5 and hardens, so that it becomes difficult to remove the vapor deposition boat 1.

Further, as the constituent material of the bank 6, any material may be used as long as it has low wettability with respect to the vaporized material, does not react with the vaporized material under vapor deposition conditions, and does not vaporize. For example, when the vapor deposition boat 1 is made of tungsten, a preferable material for the bank 6 is ceramics, and particularly alumina, zirconia, magnesia and the like can be mentioned. Bank 6
The shape of is not particularly limited as long as it can block the flow of the melted vaporized material. For example, it is suitable that the vapor deposition boat 1 has a longitudinal width of 3 to 5 mm and a height of 1.5 to 2.5 mm. In addition, since the melted vaporized material starts to flow beyond the inclined wall 2 only in the longitudinal direction (current direction) of the vapor deposition boat 1 and does not flow in the direction perpendicular to this, the molten material is inclined wall 2 ′. It doesn't flow over. The method for forming the bank 6 is not particularly limited. For example, a paste-like or liquid-like embankment-forming component such as a ceramic component may be applied to a predetermined portion, dried, and if necessary, the binder or the like may be removed by burning or another method.
