Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of a protection membrane with which a protection membrane having small residual stress and an excellent moisture-proof performance can be formed and which does not give thermal damages to the film-formed object. <P>SOLUTION: The protection membrane 5 covering the organic EL layer of an organic EL element has a three-layered structure made of a high-density silicon nitride membrane 52 having compressive stress and a low-density silicon nitride membranes 51, 53 having tensile stress formed so as to clip it. Since the compressive stress layer and the tensile stress layer are alternately laminated, the residual stress of the whole protection membrane 5 is made reduced. As a result, the protection membrane 5 becomes hard to be peeled off. Furthermore, since it has a fine high-density silicon nitride membrane 52, the protection membrane 5 has an excellent moisture-proof performance. Furthermore, as the silicon nitride membranes 51-53 are formed by a high-density plasma CVD method, the film-forming temperatures can be made low and the thermal damages to the organic EL element can be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、シリコン窒化膜を積層して保護膜を形成する保護膜製造方法およびその保護膜を有する有機EL素子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、有機化合物を用いて電界発光により表示させる自発光型の表示素子、いわゆる有機エレクトロルミネセンス(以後有機ELと呼ぶ)を利用した表示素子が活発に検討されている。有機EL表示素子は、従来の液晶表示素子と比べるといくつかの利点を有している。有機EL表示素子は自発光型素子であるため、液晶表示素子のようにバックライトを用いなくても表示が可能である。また、極めて構造が簡単なため薄く、小型・軽量の表示装置が可能である。さらに、表示に要する消費電力が小さく、携帯電話などの小型情報機器の表示装置に適している。
【0003】
有機EL素子の概略構成は、ITO(Indium−Tin−Oxide)による透明電極が形成された透明ガラス基板上に有機EL層を形成し、さらに、有機EL層の上に金属電極層を形成したものである。有機EL層には有機化合物であるトリフェニルジアミンなどが用いられるが、これらの有機化合物は水分や酸素と非常に反応しやすく、その反応によって表示不良が発生して有機EL素子の寿命を短縮させるという問題があった。
【0004】
そのため、有機EL層を防湿性高分子フィルムで被覆したり、有機EL層上にシリコンの酸化膜(SiOx)や窒化膜(SiNx)を形成したりして有機EL層を封止する構成がとられていた。水分や酸素に対する保護膜としてはシリコン窒化膜が適しており、特に、シリコン窒化膜中のSiの割合が高いほど膜が緻密になり保護膜として優れている。このシリコン窒化膜の成膜にはプラズマCVD法やECR−CVD法が用いられている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、プラズマCVD法によりSiの割合が高い高密度で緻密なシリコン窒化膜を形成しようとすると、300℃以上の温度で成膜する必要がある。しかしながら、有機EL層への熱的ダメージを考慮すると成膜を低温(約80℃以下)で行わなければならず、このような低温では上述した緻密なシリコン窒化膜を形成することができない。
【0006】
一方、高密度プラズマCVD(High density plasma CVD)法の一つであるECR−CVD法の場合には、高密度で緻密なシリコン窒化膜を低い成膜温度で形成することができる。ところが、高密度SiNx膜は内部応力が高いという欠点を有している。上述したように有機EL層上には金属電極層が形成されているが、有機EL層が機械的に強固な膜ではないため、イメージ的には有機EL層上に金属電極層が浮いているような不安定な構造となっている。そのため、内部応力の高いシリコン窒化膜を形成すると、内部応力のために金属電極層が浮いた状態になったり、SiNx膜自体が内部応力により剥離したりするという問題があった。
【0007】
本発明の目的は、残留応力が小さく、防湿性能に優れた保護膜を形成することができ、被成膜対象に熱的ダメージを与えない保護膜製造方法、および、その保護膜を有する有機EL素子を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
発明の実施の形態を示す図1,2に対応付けて説明する。
(1)請求項1の発明は、シリコン窒化膜の多層膜から成る保護膜5を高密度プラズマCVD法により形成する保護膜製造方法であって、成膜材料ガスに含まれる窒素ガス濃度を変えることにより、圧縮応力を有するシリコン窒化膜52と引っ張り応力を有するシリコン窒化膜51,53とを交互に積層した保護膜5を形成することにより上述の目的を達成する。
(2)請求項2の発明は、シリコン窒化膜の多層膜から成り有機EL層3を覆う保護膜5を高密度プラズマCVD法により形成する有機EL素子の保護膜製造方法であって、成膜材料ガスに含まれる窒素ガス濃度を変えることにより、圧縮応力を有するシリコン窒化膜52と引っ張り応力を有するシリコン窒化膜51,53とを交互に積層した保護膜5を形成し、かつ、前記交互層の中の有機EL層3と接触する層を引っ張り応力を有するシリコン窒化膜51としたことにより上述の目的を達成する。
(3)請求項3の発明は、シリコン窒化膜の多層膜から成り有機EL層を覆う保護膜5を高密度プラズマCVD法により形成する有機EL素子の保護膜製造方法であって、成膜材料ガスに含まれる窒素ガス濃度を変えることにより、密度の異なるシリコン窒化膜51〜53を交互に積層した保護膜5を形成することにより上述の目的を達成する。
(4)請求項4の発明による有機EL素子は、請求項1〜3のいずれかの保護膜製造方法により形成した保護膜5で有機EL層3を覆ったことにより上述の目的を達成する。
【0009】
なお、上記課題を解決するための手段の項では、本発明を分かり易くするために発明の実施の形態の図を用いたが、これにより本発明が発明の実施の形態に限定されるものではない。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図を参照して本発明の実施の形態を説明する。図1は本願発明による有機EL素子の一実施の形態を示す図であり、有機EL素子の概略構成を示す断面図である。透明ガラス基板1には正孔の供給源としての陽極を構成する透明電極2が、所定のパターンで形成されている。通常、透明電極2には、ITO(Indium−Tin−Oxide)と呼ばれるインジウムとスズの酸化物が用いられる。
【0011】
透明電極2上には有機EL層3が設けら、その有機EL層3上には陰極を構成する金属電極4が形成されている。金属電極4上には、金属電極4および有機EL層3を覆うように保護膜5が形成される。なお、金属電極4の引き出し部4aは保護膜5から露出している。金属電極4はマグネシウムと銀などとの合金やアルミニウムなどにより形成され、陰極として電子の供給源となる。
【0012】
電極2,4間に電圧を印加すると、透明電極2から有機EL層3へと正孔(ホール)が注入され、また、金属電極4からは電子が注入される。注入された正孔と電子とは有機EL層3内で再結合し、再結合時に有機材料を励起する。そして、有機材料が励起状態から基底状態に戻るときに蛍光が発生される。発生した光は透明ガラス基板1側から出射される。一般的には、上記反応が生じやすいように、有機EL層3は正孔注入輸送層、発光層、電子注入輸送層から構成されている。なお、現在は、発生した光をガラス基板側から取り出しているが、将来的には破線のように反対側に取り出すことも検討されている。
【0013】
図2は保護膜5の断面の一部を拡大して示したものである。本実施の形態の保護膜5はシリコン窒化膜の3層構造を有しており、有機EL層側から順に第1シリコン窒化膜51、第2シリコン窒化膜52、第3シリコン窒化膜53が形成されている。シリコン窒化膜51〜53は、いずれもECR−CVD法により成膜されたシリコン窒化膜(SiNx)である。
【0014】
ECR−CVD法でSiNx膜を成膜する場合には、成膜ガスとして基本的にはシラン(SiH)、窒素(N)、水素(H)を用いるが、成膜ガス中の窒素ガスの濃度を変えることによってSiNx膜の密度を制御することができる。具体的には、成膜材料ガス中の窒素ガス濃度を高くすると高密度SiNx膜が形成され、逆に、窒素ガス濃度を低くすると低密度SiNx膜が形成される。
【0015】
ところで、SiNx膜の内部応力は高密度のときは圧縮応力で、低密度のときは引っ張り応力となる。本実施の形態では、保護膜5を、高密度SiNx膜で形成された第2シリコン窒化膜52を低密度SiNx膜から成る第1、第3シリコン窒化膜51,53で挟んだ3層構造とすることにより、保護膜5全体の残留応力を低下させるようにした。
【0016】
図3はECR−CVD装置の概略構成図である。ECR−CVD装置はプラズマ生成室15と成膜室16とを有し、プラズマ生成室15にはマイクロ波導入窓13を介してマイクロ波導波管11が接続されている。プラズマ生成室15と成膜室16との間には、プラズマ引き出し開口15aが形成されている。マイクロ波導波管11の他端にはマイクロ波源12が接続されている。プラズマ生成室15の外側には励磁コイル14が配設されている。成膜室16の内部には成膜対象17を保持する基板ホルダ18が設けられており、被成膜対象17はプラズマ引き出し開口15aに対向するように配置される。
【0017】
成膜室16には、成膜ガス導入系6により窒素ガス(N)、シランガス(SiH)、水素ガス(H)が導入される。7A,7B,7Cはそれぞれ窒素ガス,シランガス,水素ガスを供給するガス供給源であり、各ガスの供給量はマスフローコントローラ8A〜8Cおよびバルブ9A〜9Cによって制御される。成膜室16内は真空ポンプ10により排気される。
【0018】
成膜時には、マイクロ波源12で発生した2.45GHzのマイクロ波をプラズマ生成室15に導入するとともに、ECR条件を満たす磁束密度87.5mTの磁場をコイル14により形成し、ECR放電により活性なECRプラズマをプラズマ生成室15内に発生させる。ECR−CVD装置では、電子サイクロトロン共鳴現象によりマイクロ波のエネルギーがプラズマ中の電子に高効率で吸収されるため、通常のプラズマCVD法に比べ高密度のプラズマが得られ、より低い温度(約80℃以下)で成膜を行うことができる。
【0019】
プラズマ生成室15内のECRプラズマPは、励磁コイル14により形成される発散磁界によりプラズマ引き出し開口15aを介してプラズマ生成室15から成膜室16へと引き出される。成膜室16内の成膜ガス(N、SiH、H)は成膜室内に引き出された活性なプラズマによって分解・イオン化され、被成膜対象17の表面にシリコン窒化膜(SiNx膜)が形成される。本実施の場合には、被成膜対象17は電極2,4および有機EL層3が形成された透明ガラス基板1である。
【0020】
図2に示す保護膜5を成膜する場合には、成膜室16に導入される窒素ガスの流量をマスフローコントローラ8Cで制御して、圧縮応力を有する高密度SiNx膜(第2シリコン窒化膜52)と引っ張り応力を有する低密度SiNx膜(第1,第3シリコン窒化膜51,53)とをそれぞれ形成する。図4は、成膜時の窒素ガス流量と成膜されたSiNx膜の内部応力との関係を示す図である。図4の縦軸は内部応力であり、単位は(dyn/cm)である。内部応力はプラス符号の場合には引っ張り応力を、マイナス符号の場合には圧縮応力を表している。横軸は窒素ガス流量を表しており、単位は(sccm)である。
【0021】
図4ではSiNx膜の膜厚は1(μm)であり、窒素ガス流量以外の成膜条件は、シランガス流量=14sccm、水素ガス流量=1sccm、成膜時の圧力=0.01torr、マイクロ波パワー=600Wである。図4からも分かるように、窒素ガス流量を50sccmから減少させると圧縮応力も減少し、窒素ガス流量が20sccmよりも小さくなると圧縮応力から引っ張り応力へと変化している。
【0022】
例えば、同一成膜室16内でシリコン窒化膜51〜53を成膜する場合には、まずマスフローコントローラ8Cにより窒素ガス流量を20sccmより小さく設定し、第1シリコン窒化膜51を成膜する。次に、窒素ガス流量を20sccmより大きな値に設定し、安定状態になったならば第2シリコン窒化膜52を成膜する。最後に、窒素ガス流量を20sccmより小さく設定し、安定状態になったならば第3シリコン窒化膜53を成膜する。なお、基板前方にシャッタ(不図示)を設け、安定状態になったならばシャッタを開いて成膜を行うようにする。このようにして、引っ張り応力を有する低密度SiNx膜51,53と圧縮応力を有する高密度SiNx膜52とが交互に積層された保護膜5が形成される。
【0023】
なお、上述した説明では、同位置の成膜室16内で窒素ガス流量を変えることによって第1〜第3シリコン窒化膜51〜53を順に成膜するようにしたが、例えば、窒素ガス流量が異なる低密度SiNx成膜用ECR−CVD装置と高密度SiNx成膜用ECR−CVD装置とを用いて保護膜5を形成しても良い。すなわち、第1,第3シリコン窒化膜51,53を成膜する場合には、窒素ガス流量を20sccmより小さく設定されたECR−CVD装置に基板1を搬入し、低密度SiNxを成膜する。一方、第2シリコン窒化膜52を成膜する場合には、窒素ガス流量を20sccmより大きく設定された別のECR−CVD装置に基板1を搬入し、高密度SiNxを成膜する。
【0024】
(保護膜5の具体例)
・成膜条件
第1,第3シリコン窒化膜51,53の場合には、シランガス流量=14sccm、窒素ガス流量=19sccm、水素ガス流量=1sccm、成膜時圧力=0.01torr、マイクロ波パワー=600Wである。
第2シリコン窒化膜52場合には、シランガス流量=14sccm、窒素ガス流量=50sccm、水素ガス流量=1sccm、成膜時圧力=0.01torr、マイクロ波パワー=600Wである。
・膜厚
全膜厚=2μm
・保護膜5全体での内部応力(残留応力)
−2.46×10(dyn/cm)〜+2.02×10(dyn/cm
【0025】
一方、高密度SiNx膜だけで膜厚2μmの保護膜を形成すると、内部応力は10(dyn/cm)台の圧縮応力となる。すなわち、引っ張り応力を有する51,53と圧縮応力を有する膜53とを交互に形成した保護膜5の内部応力は、同じ厚さの高密度SiNx単層膜の内部応力よりも大きさが1/100〜1/1000にまで小さくなる。
【0026】
上述した実施の形態では3層の交互層を例に説明したが、保護膜5は圧縮応力を有する高密度SiNx層と引っ張り応力を有する低密度SiNx層とを交互に積層した多層構造であれば良い。保護膜5の特徴をまとめると以下のようになる。
【0027】
(a)引っ張り応力を有する層51、53と圧縮応力を有する層52との交互層としたので、保護膜全体の残留応力を大きく低下させることができる。その結果、保護膜5や金属電極4の剥離を防止することができる。
(b)高密度SiNxから成る層52を有しているので、防湿性能に優れている。
(c)高密度プラズマCVD法(ECR−CVD法)において、窒素ガス濃度を変えることにより引っ張り応力を有する層51、53と圧縮応力を有する層52と形成しているので、成膜温度を低く保った状態で保護膜5を形成することができる。その結果、被成膜対象(3)への熱的ダメージを抑えることができる。
【0028】
なお、防湿性に関して、低密度SiNx層は構造的に粗いアモルファス構造となっているので、水分の透過性については高密度SiNx層よりも劣るが、水分をトラップするという機能を有している。そのため、高密度SiNx層にピンホール等が生じた場合でも、ピンホールを通過したわずかな水分は低密度SiNx層にトラップされ、有機EL層3への影響を防止できる。
【0029】
3層構造以外の構造として、例えば、図2の第3シリコン窒化膜53を省略して、保護膜5を第1シリコン窒化膜51と第2シリコン窒化膜52とで構成しても良い。この場合、保護膜全体の残留応力は図2に示したものよりも劣るが、同一膜厚の高密度SiNx単層膜に比べれば大きさが小さくなる。また、高密度SiNxの層(第2シリコン窒化膜52)を備えているので、十分な防湿性能を有している。
【0030】
なお、保護膜5を2層や3層の多層構造とする場合、有機EL層3との密着性能との関係から、有機EL層3側は応力の大きさが小さい低密度SiNx層とするのが好ましい。また、シリコン窒化膜51,53を引っ張り応力を有する低密度SiNx層としシリコン窒化膜53を圧縮応力を有する高密度SiNx層としたが、圧縮応力の範囲において高密度と低密度の組み合わせとしても良い。この場合も、高密度SiNxの単層膜よりは残留応力を下げることができ、かつ、十分な防湿性能を得ることができる。
【0031】
上述した実施の形態では、被成膜対象として有機EL素子を例に説明したが、他の電子回路素子の保護膜としても適用することができ、同様の効果、すなわち剥離しにくく、防湿性に優れ、保護膜成膜時の回路素子に対する熱的ダメージを抑えることができるという効果を奏することができる。なお、ECR−CVD法を例に説明したが、ECR−CVD法以外の高密度プラズマCVD法によりシリコン窒化膜51〜53を成膜しても良い。
【0032】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、内部応力が圧縮のものと引っ張りのものとを、または、密度の異なるもの同士を交互に積層して保護膜を形成したので、残留応力の小さな保護膜とすることができる。また、交互層に緻密なシリコン窒化膜を含んでいるので、防湿性に優れている。さらに、交互層を構成するシリコン窒化膜を高密度プラズマCVD法により形成するようにしたので、成膜温度の低温化が図れ、被成膜対象への熱的ダメージを低減することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a protective film manufacturing method for forming a protective film by laminating a silicon nitride film and an organic EL device having the protective film.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, self-luminous display elements that display by electroluminescence using an organic compound, that is, display elements using so-called organic electroluminescence (hereinafter referred to as organic EL) have been actively studied. Organic EL display elements have several advantages over conventional liquid crystal display elements. Since the organic EL display element is a self-luminous element, display is possible without using a backlight unlike a liquid crystal display element. Further, since the structure is extremely simple, a thin, compact and lightweight display device can be provided. Further, power consumption required for display is small, which is suitable for a display device of a small information device such as a mobile phone.
[0003]
The schematic configuration of the organic EL element is such that an organic EL layer is formed on a transparent glass substrate on which a transparent electrode made of ITO (Indium-Tin-Oxide) is formed, and a metal electrode layer is formed on the organic EL layer. It is. For the organic EL layer, organic compounds such as triphenyldiamine are used. These organic compounds are very apt to react with moisture and oxygen, and the reaction causes display failure and shortens the life of the organic EL element. There was a problem.
[0004]
Therefore, the organic EL layer is covered with a moisture-proof polymer film, or a silicon oxide film (SiOx) or a nitride film (SiNx) is formed on the organic EL layer to seal the organic EL layer. Had been. A silicon nitride film is suitable as a protective film against moisture and oxygen. In particular, the higher the ratio of Si 3 N 4 in the silicon nitride film, the denser the film and the better the protective film. A plasma CVD method or an ECR-CVD method is used for forming the silicon nitride film.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in order to form a high-density and dense silicon nitride film having a high Si 3 N 4 ratio by a plasma CVD method, it is necessary to form the film at a temperature of 300 ° C. or higher. However, in consideration of thermal damage to the organic EL layer, the film must be formed at a low temperature (about 80 ° C. or lower), and at such a low temperature, the above-described dense silicon nitride film cannot be formed.
[0006]
On the other hand, in the case of ECR-CVD, which is one of high-density plasma CVD (High-density plasma CVD), a high-density and dense silicon nitride film can be formed at a low deposition temperature. However, the high-density SiNx film has a disadvantage that the internal stress is high. As described above, the metal electrode layer is formed on the organic EL layer. However, since the organic EL layer is not a mechanically strong film, the metal electrode layer floats on the organic EL layer in terms of image. It has such an unstable structure. Therefore, when a silicon nitride film having a high internal stress is formed, there is a problem that the metal electrode layer floats due to the internal stress, and the SiNx film itself peels off due to the internal stress.
[0007]
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a protective film which can form a protective film having a small residual stress and excellent moisture proof performance and does not thermally damage an object to be formed, and an organic EL having the protective film. It is to provide an element.

FIG. 1 is a view showing one embodiment of an organic EL device according to the present invention, and is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of the organic EL device. On a transparent glass substrate 1, a transparent electrode 2 constituting an anode as a source of holes is formed in a predetermined pattern.

On the metal electrode 4, a protective film 5 is formed so as to cover the metal electrode 4 and the organic EL layer 3. Note that the lead portion 4 a of the metal electrode 4 is exposed from the protective film 5. The metal electrode 4 is formed of an alloy of magnesium and silver, aluminum, or the like, and serves as a cathode as an electron supply source.
[0012]
When a voltage is applied between the electrodes 2 and 4, holes are injected from the transparent electrode 2 into the organic EL layer 3, and electrons are injected from the metal electrode 4. The injected holes and electrons recombine in the organic EL layer 3 and excite the organic material at the time of recombination. Then, fluorescence is generated when the organic material returns from the excited state to the ground state. The generated light is emitted from the transparent glass substrate 1 side. In general, the organic EL layer 3 is composed of a hole injection / transport layer, a light emitting layer, and an electron injection / transport layer so that the above reaction easily occurs. At present, the generated light is extracted from the glass substrate side, but in the future, extraction of the generated light to the opposite side as indicated by a broken line is being studied.
[0013]
FIG. 2 shows a part of the cross section of the protective film 5 in an enlarged manner. The protective film 5 of the present embodiment has a three-layer structure of a silicon nitride film, and a first silicon nitride film 51, a second silicon nitride film 52, and a third silicon nitride film 53 are formed in this order from the organic EL layer side. Have been. Each of the silicon nitride films 51 to 53 is a silicon nitride film (SiNx) formed by the ECR-CVD method.
[0014]
When a SiNx film is formed by the ECR-CVD method, silane (SiH 4 ), nitrogen (N 2 ), and hydrogen (H 2 ) are basically used as a film forming gas. The density of the SiNx film can be controlled by changing the gas concentration. Specifically, when the nitrogen gas concentration in the film forming material gas is increased, a high-density SiNx film is formed, and when the nitrogen gas concentration is reduced, a low-density SiNx film is formed.
[0015]
Incidentally, the internal stress of the SiNx film is a compressive stress when the density is high, and a tensile stress when the density is low. In the present embodiment, the protective film 5 has a three-layer structure in which a second silicon nitride film 52 formed of a high-density SiNx film is sandwiched between first and third silicon nitride films 51 and 53 made of a low-density SiNx film. By doing so, the residual stress of the entire protective film 5 is reduced.
[0016]
FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the ECR-CVD apparatus. The ECR-CVD apparatus has a plasma generation chamber 15 and a film formation chamber 16, and a microwave waveguide 11 is connected to the plasma generation chamber 15 via a microwave introduction window 13. A plasma extraction opening 15a is formed between the plasma generation chamber 15 and the film formation chamber 16. A microwave source 12 is connected to the other end of the microwave waveguide 11. An excitation coil 14 is provided outside the plasma generation chamber 15. A substrate holder 18 for holding a film formation target 17 is provided inside the film formation chamber 16, and the film formation target 17 is arranged so as to face the plasma extraction opening 15a.
[0017]
Nitrogen gas (N 2 ), silane gas (SiH 4 ), and hydrogen gas (H 2 ) are introduced into the film forming chamber 16 by the film forming gas introducing system 6. Reference numerals 7A, 7B, and 7C denote gas supply sources for supplying nitrogen gas, silane gas, and hydrogen gas, respectively, and the supply amount of each gas is controlled by mass flow controllers 8A to 8C and valves 9A to 9C. The inside of the film forming chamber 16 is evacuated by the vacuum pump 10.
[0018]
At the time of film formation, a microwave of 2.45 GHz generated by the microwave source 12 is introduced into the plasma generation chamber 15, and a magnetic field having a magnetic flux density of 87.5 mT that satisfies ECR conditions is formed by the coil 14. Plasma is generated in the plasma generation chamber 15. In the ECR-CVD apparatus, microwave energy is absorbed by electrons in the plasma with high efficiency due to the electron cyclotron resonance phenomenon, so that a higher density plasma can be obtained as compared with the ordinary plasma CVD method, and a lower temperature (about 80 ° C.) can be obtained. (° C. or lower).
[0019]
The ECR plasma P in the plasma generation chamber 15 is drawn from the plasma generation chamber 15 to the film formation chamber 16 through the plasma extraction opening 15a by a diverging magnetic field formed by the exciting coil 14. The deposition gas (N 2 , SiH 4 , H 2 ) in the deposition chamber 16 is decomposed and ionized by the active plasma drawn into the deposition chamber, and a silicon nitride film (SiNx film) is formed on the surface of the deposition target 17. ) Is formed. In this embodiment, the film formation target 17 is the transparent glass substrate 1 on which the electrodes 2 and 4 and the organic EL layer 3 are formed.
[0020]
When the protective film 5 shown in FIG. 2 is formed, the flow rate of the nitrogen gas introduced into the film forming chamber 16 is controlled by the mass flow controller 8C, and the high-density SiNx film having the compressive stress (the second silicon nitride film) is formed. 52) and a low-density SiNx film having tensile stress (first and third silicon nitride films 51 and 53) are formed. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the nitrogen gas flow rate during film formation and the internal stress of the formed SiNx film. The vertical axis in FIG. 4 is the internal stress, and the unit is (dyn / cm 2 ). The internal stress indicates a tensile stress in the case of a plus sign, and indicates a compressive stress in the case of a minus sign. The horizontal axis represents the nitrogen gas flow rate, and the unit is (sccm).
[0021]
In FIG. 4, the thickness of the SiNx film is 1 (μm), and the film forming conditions other than the nitrogen gas flow rate are: silane gas flow rate = 14 sccm, hydrogen gas flow rate = 1 sccm, pressure during film formation = 0.01 torr, microwave power = 600W. As can be seen from FIG. 4, when the nitrogen gas flow rate is reduced from 50 sccm, the compressive stress also decreases, and when the nitrogen gas flow rate is smaller than 20 sccm, the stress changes from the compressive stress to the tensile stress.
[0022]
For example, when forming the silicon nitride films 51 to 53 in the same film forming chamber 16, first, the mass flow controller 8 </ b> C sets the nitrogen gas flow rate to less than 20 sccm, and forms the first silicon nitride film 51. Next, the flow rate of nitrogen gas is set to a value larger than 20 sccm, and when the state becomes stable, the second silicon nitride film 52 is formed. Finally, the flow rate of the nitrogen gas is set to be smaller than 20 sccm, and when the state becomes stable, the third silicon nitride film 53 is formed. Note that a shutter (not shown) is provided in front of the substrate, and when a stable state is reached, the shutter is opened to form a film. Thus, the protective film 5 in which the low-density SiNx films 51 and 53 having a tensile stress and the high-density SiNx films 52 having a compressive stress are alternately laminated is formed.
[0023]
In the above description, the first to third silicon nitride films 51 to 53 are sequentially formed by changing the flow rate of the nitrogen gas in the film formation chamber 16 at the same position. The protective film 5 may be formed using different low-density SiNx film-forming ECR-CVD devices and high-density SiNx film-forming ECR-CVD devices. That is, when forming the first and third silicon nitride films 51 and 53, the substrate 1 is carried into an ECR-CVD apparatus in which the nitrogen gas flow rate is set to be smaller than 20 sccm, and low-density SiNx is formed. On the other hand, when forming the second silicon nitride film 52, the substrate 1 is carried into another ECR-CVD apparatus in which the nitrogen gas flow rate is set to be larger than 20 sccm, and high-density SiNx is formed.
[0024]
(Specific example of protective film 5)
Film formation conditions In the case of the first and third silicon nitride films 51 and 53, the flow rate of silane gas = 14 sccm, the flow rate of nitrogen gas = 19 sccm, the flow rate of hydrogen gas = 1 sccm, the pressure at the time of film formation = 0.01 torr, and the microwave power = 600W.
In the case of the second silicon nitride film 52, the flow rate of silane gas is 14 sccm, the flow rate of nitrogen gas is 50 sccm, the flow rate of hydrogen gas is 1 sccm, the pressure during film formation is 0.01 torr, and the microwave power is 600 W.
・ Total film thickness = 2 μm
-Internal stress (residual stress) in the entire protective film 5
−2.46 × 10 6 (dyn / cm 2 ) to + 2.02 × 10 7 (dyn / cm 2 )
[0025]
On the other hand, when a protective film having a thickness of 2 μm is formed using only the high-density SiNx film, the internal stress becomes a compressive stress on the order of 10 9 (dyn / cm 2 ). That is, the internal stress of the protective film 5 in which the films 53 and 53 having the tensile stress and the film 53 having the compressive stress are alternately formed is 1/1/1 of the internal stress of the high-density SiNx single-layer film having the same thickness. It is reduced to 100 to 1/1000.
[0026]
In the above-described embodiment, three alternate layers have been described as an example. However, the protective film 5 may have a multilayer structure in which a high-density SiNx layer having a compressive stress and a low-density SiNx layer having a tensile stress are alternately stacked. good. The characteristics of the protective film 5 are summarized as follows.
[0027]
(A) Since the layers 51 and 53 having tensile stress and the layer 52 having compressive stress are alternately formed, the residual stress of the entire protective film can be greatly reduced. As a result, peeling of the protective film 5 and the metal electrode 4 can be prevented.
(B) Since it has the layer 52 made of high-density SiNx, it has excellent moisture-proof performance.
(C) In the high-density plasma CVD method (ECR-CVD method), the layers 51 and 53 having tensile stress and the layer 52 having compressive stress are formed by changing the concentration of nitrogen gas. The protective film 5 can be formed while keeping it. As a result, thermal damage to the film formation target (3) can be suppressed.
[0028]
As for the moisture-proof property, the low-density SiNx layer has a rough amorphous structure, and thus has a function of trapping moisture, though the moisture permeability is lower than that of the high-density SiNx layer. Therefore, even when a pinhole or the like occurs in the high-density SiNx layer, a small amount of water that has passed through the pinhole is trapped in the low-density SiNx layer, and the influence on the organic EL layer 3 can be prevented.
[0029]
As a structure other than the three-layer structure, for example, the third silicon nitride film 53 in FIG. 2 may be omitted, and the protective film 5 may be configured by the first silicon nitride film 51 and the second silicon nitride film 52. In this case, although the residual stress of the entire protective film is inferior to that shown in FIG. 2, the residual stress is smaller than that of the high-density SiNx single-layer film having the same thickness. In addition, since it has a high-density SiNx layer (second silicon nitride film 52), it has sufficient moisture-proof performance.
[0030]
When the protective film 5 has a multilayer structure of two or three layers, the organic EL layer 3 side is preferably a low-density SiNx layer having a small stress due to the adhesion performance with the organic EL layer 3. Is preferred. Further, although the silicon nitride films 51 and 53 are made of a low-density SiNx layer having a tensile stress and the silicon nitride film 53 is made a high-density SiNx layer having a compressive stress, a combination of a high density and a low density may be used within the range of the compressive stress. . Also in this case, the residual stress can be reduced as compared with the single-layer film of high-density SiNx, and sufficient moisture-proof performance can be obtained.
[0031]
In the above-described embodiment, an organic EL element has been described as an example of a film-forming target. However, the present invention can be applied to a protective film of another electronic circuit element. Thus, it is possible to achieve an effect that thermal damage to the circuit element at the time of forming the protective film can be suppressed. Although the ECR-CVD method has been described as an example, the silicon nitride films 51 to 53 may be formed by a high-density plasma CVD method other than the ECR-CVD method.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the protective film is formed by alternately laminating the compression stress and the tension stress or alternately stacking the stresses having different densities, so that the protection with small residual stress is achieved. It can be a membrane. Further, since the alternate layer contains a dense silicon nitride film, it is excellent in moisture proof properties. Further, since the silicon nitride films forming the alternating layers are formed by the high-density plasma CVD method, the film formation temperature can be lowered, and the thermal damage to the film formation target can be reduced.
