Description

真空蒸鍍裝置用岐管 Manifold for vacuum evaporation device

本發明係關於一種適用於有機EL(電致發光)元件製造的真空蒸鍍裝置用岐管,使用線性源進行聯機(Inline)蒸鍍。 The present invention relates to a manifold for a vacuum evaporation device suitable for manufacturing an organic EL (electroluminescence) element, and uses a linear source for inline evaporation.

聯機蒸鍍方式是使作為蒸鍍材料的線性源的岐管,沿寬度方向與以固定速度移動的蒸鍍基材相對配置,並且從設置在岐管上的噴出用噴嘴噴出蒸發材料,使得蒸發材料附著在蒸鍍基材的表面上。 On-line vapor deposition is a method in which a manifold, which is a linear source of vapor deposition material, is arranged opposite to a vapor deposition substrate that moves at a fixed speed in the width direction, and the evaporation material is ejected from a nozzle for ejection provided on the manifold to evaporate. The material is adhered to the surface of the vapor-deposited substrate.

在聯機蒸鍍方式的真空蒸鍍裝置中,專利文獻1公開了如下裝置:將線性源用岐管作為用於加熱蒸鍍材料使其氣化的坩堝,在坩堝的上表面上沿坩堝的長邊方向形成有多個噴出用噴嘴,並且在各噴出用噴嘴上分別形成有用於噴出蒸鍍材料的噴嘴口。 In the vacuum vapor deposition apparatus of the in-line vapor deposition method, Patent Document 1 discloses an apparatus in which a manifold for a linear source is used as a crucible for heating and vaporizing a vapor deposition material, and the crucible is formed on the upper surface of the crucible along the length of the crucible. A plurality of ejection nozzles are formed in the lateral direction, and a nozzle opening for ejecting a vapor deposition material is formed in each ejection nozzle.

然而,需要提高價格高的有機EL等蒸鍍材料的利用效率(附著量相對於蒸發量的比例)。因此,可以考慮使得噴出用噴嘴接近蒸鍍基材,從而使得作為節流孔的噴嘴口和蒸鍍基材的蒸鍍距離變短。當使得蒸鍍距離變短時,為了確保附著膜厚的均勻性,需要增加噴嘴口,從而導致噴出用噴嘴相互接近。此外,為了調整噴出量,噴出用噴嘴的噴嘴口成為出口收攏的節流孔,但是如果不將噴嘴口的口徑/噴出用噴嘴內徑之比確保為一定值以上,則從一個噴出用噴嘴噴出的蒸鍍材料的膜厚分布不穩 定。因此,難以使噴嘴口接近設置。 However, it is necessary to improve the utilization efficiency (the ratio of the adhesion amount to the evaporation amount) of a high-priced vapor deposition material such as an organic EL. Therefore, it can be considered that the nozzle for ejection is brought close to the vapor deposition substrate, and the vapor deposition distance between the nozzle opening as the orifice and the vapor deposition substrate can be shortened. When the vapor deposition distance is made short, in order to ensure the uniformity of the adhesion film thickness, it is necessary to increase the nozzle openings, which causes the nozzles for ejection to approach each other. In addition, in order to adjust the ejection amount, the nozzle opening of the ejection nozzle is used as a throttle hole for closing the outlet. Film thickness distribution of set. Therefore, it is difficult to make the nozzle openings close to each other.

作為對策,可以使噴嘴口的口徑變小,但是如果使得噴嘴口的口徑變小,則噴出流道的傳導率變小。因此,為了確保規定的蒸鍍率,必須提高坩堝內的蒸鍍材料的蒸發溫度(加熱溫度),但是如果提高了蒸發溫度,則有些蒸鍍材料容易劣化,而且有可能增加運行成本。 As a countermeasure, the diameter of the nozzle opening can be made smaller, but if the diameter of the nozzle opening is made smaller, the conductivity of the discharge flow path becomes smaller. Therefore, in order to ensure a predetermined vapor deposition rate, it is necessary to increase the evaporation temperature (heating temperature) of the vapor deposition material in the crucible. However, if the vaporization temperature is increased, some vapor deposition materials are likely to be deteriorated and the running cost may be increased.

為了解決上述問題,本發明之目的在於提供能够提高蒸鍍材料的利用效率的真空蒸鍍裝置用岐管。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a manifold for a vacuum deposition apparatus capable of improving the utilization efficiency of a vapor deposition material.

[實施例1] [Example 1]

下面基於第1圖~第4圖,說明本發明的聯機蒸鍍方式的真空蒸鍍裝置用岐管的實施例1。 Hereinafter, Embodiment 1 of the manifold for a vacuum deposition apparatus of the in-line vapor deposition method of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

如第1圖、第2圖所示,在保持為真空狀態的一真空蒸鍍室內,岐管11與以固定速度移動的一基板(蒸鍍基材)12的一蒸鍍面相對配置。在岐管11的一對置面11a上,分別在基板12移動方向的前方和後方設置有噴嘴列14F、14R,噴嘴列14F、14R的複數個噴出用噴嘴13沿寬度方向以規定的噴嘴間距P突出設置。在此,如第2圖所示,噴嘴間距P係指各噴嘴列14F、14R中相鄰的噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴口15和噴嘴口15的距離。 As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in a vacuum vapor deposition chamber maintained in a vacuum state, the manifold 11 is disposed opposite a vapor deposition surface of a substrate (deposition substrate) 12 moving at a constant speed. On the pair of placement surfaces 11a of the manifold 11, nozzle rows 14F and 14R are provided in front and rear of the substrate 12 in the moving direction, respectively. A plurality of ejection nozzles 13 of the nozzle rows 14F and 14R are arranged at a predetermined nozzle pitch in the width direction. P highlight setting. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the nozzle pitch P refers to the distance between the nozzle opening 15 and the nozzle opening 15 of the discharge nozzle 13 adjacent to each other in the nozzle rows 14F and 14R.

前方和後方的噴嘴列14F、14R的噴出用噴嘴13在基板12 的移動方向上相對配置。在噴出用噴嘴13的一前端面上分別形成有一噴嘴口15。此外,為了將由坩堝(圖未示)對蒸鍍材料進行加熱蒸發而得到的蒸發材料導入岐管11內,在岐管11的與噴出用噴嘴13相反的相反面上形成有一材料導入口16,材料導入口16與內徑為d的一材料導入管17相連接。 The front and rear nozzle rows 14F and 14R have nozzles 13 for ejection on the substrate 12 Relative to the moving direction. A nozzle opening 15 is formed on one front end surface of the ejection nozzle 13. In addition, in order to introduce the evaporation material obtained by heating and evaporating the evaporation material from a crucible (not shown) into the manifold 11, a material introduction port 16 is formed on the opposite side of the manifold 11 opposite to the ejection nozzle 13, The material introduction port 16 is connected to a material introduction pipe 17 having an inner diameter d.

前方和後方的噴嘴列14F、14R配置成與材料導入口16隔開一規定的距離,並且進一步配置成在基板12的移動方向上隔開噴嘴列間隔Lp。前後的噴嘴列14F、14R與材料導入口16的距離是為了使得從材料導入口16供給的蒸發材料均勻地導入噴出用噴嘴13。此外,前後的噴嘴列14F、14R中的兩端部的噴出用噴嘴13配置在與寬度Ws的基板12之兩邊緣部對應的位置上。 The front and rear nozzle rows 14F and 14R are arranged at a predetermined distance from the material introduction port 16 and are further arranged at a nozzle row interval Lp in the moving direction of the substrate 12. The distance between the front and rear nozzle rows 14F and 14R and the material introduction port 16 is to allow the evaporated material supplied from the material introduction port 16 to be uniformly introduced into the discharge nozzle 13. In addition, the ejection nozzles 13 at both ends of the front and rear nozzle rows 14F and 14R are disposed at positions corresponding to both edge portions of the substrate 12 having a width Ws.

岐管11具有能够使得從材料導入口16導入的蒸發材料均勻擴散的內部空間,岐管11形成為前後長度為Lm、寬度為Wm、高度為Hm的一長方體,並且在基板對置面11a上設置有遮擋來自基板12的輻射熱的一冷却板(圖未示),在左右側面和前後側面上設置有防止蒸發材料附著的一加熱器(圖未示)。並且,基板12相對於噴嘴口15隔開規定的蒸鍍距離S進行移動。一壓力檢測口18設置在岐管11的前側面,一蒸鍍率檢測口19設置在岐管11的後側面。 The manifold 11 has an internal space capable of uniformly diffusing the evaporating material introduced from the material introduction port 16. The manifold 11 is formed as a rectangular parallelepiped having a length of Lm, a width of Wm, and a height of Hm. The manifold 11 is on the substrate facing surface 11a. A cooling plate (not shown) is provided to block radiant heat from the substrate 12, and a heater (not shown) is provided on the left and right sides and the front and back sides to prevent the evaporation material from adhering. The substrate 12 is moved with respect to the nozzle opening 15 at a predetermined vapor deposition distance S. A pressure detection port 18 is provided on the front side of the manifold 11, and a vapor deposition rate detection port 19 is provided on the rear side of the manifold 11.

如第2圖所示,噴出用噴嘴13的圓筒狀的噴嘴主體13a直立設置在岐管11的基板對置面11a上,在噴嘴主體13a的前端面上,為了形成節流孔而安裝具有噴嘴口15的一端板13b。 As shown in FIG. 2, the cylindrical nozzle body 13 a of the ejection nozzle 13 is erected on the substrate-opposing surface 11 a of the manifold 11. One end plate 13b of the nozzle opening 15.

如果噴嘴口15的口徑為D’(mm),則各噴嘴列14F、14R 的噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴間距P滿足以下的公式(1)。 If the diameter of the nozzle opening 15 is D '(mm), each nozzle row 14F, 14R The nozzle pitch P of the ejection nozzle 13 satisfies the following formula (1).

D’<P<1.11×S…公式(1) D ’<P <1.11 × S ... Formula (1)

即,聯機式岐管11的噴出用噴嘴13的配置如第3A圖所示,相對於具有任意基板寬度的蒸鍍基板12,(理論上)成為無限個數的列,當假設來自全部噴出用噴嘴13的噴出流量固定時,蒸鍍基板12的膜厚均勻性與噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴間距P相關。如第3B圖所示,在噴出用噴嘴13的排列正上方對蒸鍍基板12蒸鍍的膜厚分布如下:在噴出用噴嘴13的正上方進行蒸鍍的累計膜厚最厚,相鄰的噴出用噴嘴13的中間點(1/2P)的最上方最薄。另外,在此由於D’<P,所以不包含狹縫狀的噴嘴口。並且,如第4A圖所示,如果噴嘴間距P小,則最大膜厚和最小膜厚的膜厚差變小,如第4B圖所示,如果噴嘴間距P大,則最大膜厚和最小膜厚的膜厚差變大。當最大膜厚為dmax、最小膜厚為dmin時,利用以下的公式(2)表示膜厚均勻性。 That is, as shown in FIG. 3A, the arrangement of the discharge nozzles 13 of the on-line manifold 11 is (in theory) an infinite number of rows with respect to the vapor deposition substrate 12 having an arbitrary substrate width. When the discharge flow rate of the nozzle 13 is constant, the film thickness uniformity of the vapor deposition substrate 12 is related to the nozzle pitch P of the discharge nozzle 13. As shown in FIG. 3B, the film thickness distribution of the vapor deposition substrate 12 directly above the arrangement of the ejection nozzles 13 is as follows: The accumulated film thickness of the vapor deposition directly above the ejection nozzles 13 is the thickest, and the adjacent The uppermost point of the middle point (1 / 2P) of the discharge nozzle 13 is the thinnest. In addition, since D '<P, a slit-shaped nozzle opening is not included here. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4A, if the nozzle pitch P is small, the difference in film thickness between the maximum film thickness and the minimum film thickness becomes small. As shown in FIG. 4B, if the nozzle pitch P is large, the maximum film thickness and the minimum film are reduced. The thick film thickness difference becomes large. When the maximum film thickness is dmax and the minimum film thickness is dmin, the film thickness uniformity is expressed by the following formula (2).

膜厚均匀性=[(dmax-dmin)/(dmax+dmin)]×100(%)…公式(2) Film thickness uniformity = [(dmax-dmin) / (dmax + dmin)] × 100 (%) ... Formula (2)

如此,由於膜厚均勻性與最大膜厚和最小膜厚相關,所以與噴嘴間距P相關。並且,透過使得上述膜厚均勻性在±5%以內,能够保持產品的質量。 As such, since the film thickness uniformity is related to the maximum film thickness and the minimum film thickness, it is related to the nozzle pitch P. In addition, the quality of the product can be maintained by making the film thickness uniformity within ± 5%.

第5圖為模擬表示不限制噴出用噴嘴13的個數且從全部噴出用噴嘴13噴出相同量的蒸鍍材料時,在蒸鍍距離S下使膜厚均勻性小於±5%的噴嘴間距P的最大值的坐標圖。 FIG. 5 is a simulation showing a nozzle pitch P in which film thickness uniformity is less than ± 5% at a vapor deposition distance S when the same amount of vapor deposition material is ejected from all the ejection nozzles 13 without limitation on the number of the ejection nozzles 13. Graph of maximum values.

按照第5圖,如公式(1)所示,透過使得噴嘴間距P大於D’且小於蒸鍍距離S的1.11倍,可使得膜厚均勻性在作為產品具有實用性 的±5%以內。 According to Fig. 5, as shown in formula (1), by making the nozzle pitch P larger than D 'and smaller than 1.11 times the vapor deposition distance S, the film thickness uniformity can be applied as a product. Within ± 5%.

在此,雖然噴嘴間距P越小、越能够提高膜厚的均勻性,但是材料的利用效率下降。因此,不包含PD’的連續狀、即狹縫狀的噴出用噴嘴13。此外,在各噴嘴列14F、14R中,機械結構上不希望噴嘴間距P在20mm以下。另外,像後述的實施例2那樣,當交錯配置噴嘴列14F、14R的噴出用噴嘴13時,在從正面觀察蒸鍍基板12的情况下,噴嘴間距P可以無限地接近於0,由此,能够兼顧膜厚均勻性和材料的利用效率。 Here, as the nozzle pitch P becomes smaller, the uniformity of the film thickness can be improved, but the utilization efficiency of the material decreases. Therefore, P is not included D 'is continuous, that is, the slit-shaped ejection nozzle 13. In addition, in each of the nozzle rows 14F and 14R, it is mechanically undesirable that the nozzle pitch P is 20 mm or less. In addition, as in Example 2 described later, when the ejection nozzles 13 of the nozzle rows 14F and 14R are staggered, when the vapor deposition substrate 12 is viewed from the front, the nozzle pitch P can be infinitely close to 0, and thus Can take into account the uniformity of film thickness and the utilization efficiency of materials.

如此,噴嘴間距P越小、越能够提高膜厚的均勻性,但是材料的利用效率下降。如果使膜厚的均勻性在±5%以內左右,則可以使噴嘴間距P變寬而提高材料的利用效率。 As such, the smaller the nozzle pitch P, the more uniform the film thickness can be improved, but the utilization efficiency of the material decreases. If the uniformity of the film thickness is within about 5%, the nozzle pitch P can be widened and the utilization efficiency of the material can be improved.

在此,當噴嘴主體13a的內徑為D(mm)、噴嘴長度為L(mm)、噴嘴口15的口徑為D’(mm)時,噴出用噴嘴13滿足如下的公式(3)。 When the inner diameter of the nozzle body 13a is D (mm), the nozzle length is L (mm), and the diameter of the nozzle opening 15 is D '(mm), the ejection nozzle 13 satisfies the following formula (3).

L9×D時,D’2.7×D2/L L At 9 × D, D ' 2.7 × D 2 / L

L<9×D時,D’D/3…公式(3) When L <9 × D, D ' D / 3 ... Formula (3)

對於形成有機EL膜的有機材料得到上述公式(3)。滿足上述公式(3)時[第6圖中(L9×D時)LD’/D2大於0且在2.7以下的區域,或者是第7圖中(L<9×D時)D’/D大於0且在1/3以下的區域],從各噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴口15向基板12噴出的蒸發材料按照cosn θ定則、即與cosn θ曲線近似。此時,由於從噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴口15噴出的蒸發材料在基板12的表面(蒸鍍面)充分擴散來進行蒸鍍,所以能够提高膜厚的均勻性。 The above formula (3) is obtained for an organic material forming an organic EL film. When the above formula (3) is satisfied [Fig. 6 (L (9 × D) LD '/ D 2 is greater than 0 and less than 2.7, or the area in Figure 7 (when L <9 × D) is greater than 0 and less than 1/3], from The evaporation material ejected from the nozzle opening 15 of each of the ejection nozzles 13 to the substrate 12 is approximated by a cos n θ rule, that is, a cos n θ curve. At this time, since the evaporation material ejected from the nozzle opening 15 of the ejection nozzle 13 is sufficiently diffused on the surface (evaporation surface) of the substrate 12 for vapor deposition, the uniformity of the film thickness can be improved.

如第6圖所示,L9×D時,在D’×L/D2大於0且在2.7以下的區域內,n值約為4.00~4.25。此外,如第7圖所示,L<9×D時,在D’/D大於0且在1/3以下的區域內,n值約為4.05~4.25。在cosn θ定則中n值越小、蒸發材料越在基板12的表面擴散來進行蒸鍍,從而提高了膜厚的均勻性。最優選n值約為4.05~4.10,此時,第6圖所示的L9×D時,為D’×L/D2大於1.1且在1.8以下的區域,第7圖所示的L<9×D時,為D’/D大於0且在0.18以下的區域。 As shown in Figure 6, L At 9 × D, in a region where D ′ × L / D 2 is greater than 0 and less than 2.7, the value of n is about 4.00 to 4.25. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when L <9 × D, in a region where D ′ / D is greater than 0 and less than 1/3, the value of n is about 4.05 to 4.25. In the cos n θ rule, the smaller the value of n, the more the evaporation material diffuses on the surface of the substrate 12 for vapor deposition, thereby improving the uniformity of the film thickness. Most preferably, the value of n is about 4.05 to 4.10. At this time, L shown in FIG. 6 In the case of 9 × D, a region where D ′ × L / D 2 is greater than 1.1 and less than 1.8, and when L <9 × D shown in FIG. 7 is a region in which D ′ / D is greater than 0 and less than 0.18.

在此,如果是如第6圖所示,L9×D時D’×L/D2大於2.7,或者是如第7圖所示,L<9×D時D’/D大於1/3,則從各噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴口15向基板12噴出的蒸發材料未按照cosn θ定則,未在基板12上均勻地進行蒸鍍。其結果,基板12的與噴嘴口15相對的部分的膜厚過度變厚,妨礙了均勻性。另外,此處從加工精度的觀點考慮,例如將噴嘴口15的口徑D’設定在1mm以上。 Here, if shown in Figure 6, L When D ′ × L / D 2 is greater than 2.7 at 9 × D, or as shown in FIG. 7, when D ′ / D is greater than 1/3 at L × 9 × D, the nozzle opening 15 of each ejection nozzle 13 is directed toward The evaporation material ejected from the substrate 12 does not follow the cos n θ rule, and vapor deposition is not performed uniformly on the substrate 12. As a result, the film thickness of the portion of the substrate 12 facing the nozzle opening 15 is excessively increased, which impedes uniformity. Here, from the viewpoint of processing accuracy, for example, the diameter D ′ of the nozzle opening 15 is set to 1 mm or more.

按照上述實施例1,在基板12移動方向的前方和後方設置有噴嘴列14F、14R,噴嘴列14F、14R以規定的噴嘴間距P配置噴出用噴嘴13,透過在基板12的移動方向上相對配置各噴出用噴嘴13,可提高蒸鍍速度。由此,即使噴嘴口15的口徑小而使得噴出流道的傳導率變小,也可透過多列配置來確保規定的蒸鍍率。 According to the first embodiment described above, the nozzle rows 14F and 14R are provided in front and rear of the substrate 12 in the moving direction. The nozzle rows 14F and 14R are arranged with the ejection nozzles 13 at a predetermined nozzle pitch P, and are arranged so as to oppose each other in the moving direction of the substrate 12. Each ejection nozzle 13 can increase the vapor deposition speed. Therefore, even if the diameter of the nozzle opening 15 is small and the conductivity of the discharge flow path is reduced, a predetermined vapor deposition rate can be secured by a multi-row arrangement.

此外,透過使得各噴嘴列14F、14R的噴出用噴嘴13的噴嘴間距P大於噴嘴口15的口徑D’且小於蒸鍍距離S的1.11倍,可使得膜厚均勻性在作為產品所需要的±5%以內。 In addition, by making the nozzle pitch P of the ejection nozzles 13 of each of the nozzle rows 14F and 14R larger than the diameter D ′ of the nozzle opening 15 and less than 1.11 times the vapor deposition distance S, it is possible to make the film thickness uniformity within ± Within 5%.

此外,在各噴出用噴嘴13中,透過使用L9×D時滿足D’ 2.7×D2/L,L<9×D時滿足D’D/3的噴出用噴嘴13,可使得從噴嘴口15噴出的蒸發材料的擴散狀態按照cosn θ定則而變得均勻,從而可以提高附著膜厚的均勻性。 In addition, in each of the ejection nozzles 13, L Satisfying D 'at 9 × D 2.7 × D 2 / L, satisfy D 'when L <9 × D The spray nozzle 13 for D / 3 can make the diffusion state of the evaporation material sprayed from the nozzle port 15 uniform and conform to the cos n θ rule, thereby improving the uniformity of the thickness of the adhered film.

第8圖、第9圖表示真空蒸鍍裝置用岐管的實施例2。在本實施例2中,與實施例1相同的構件采用相同的附圖標記,並省略了說明。 8 and 9 show a second embodiment of a manifold for a vacuum evaporation apparatus. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted.

在單一岐管11的與基板12s相對的對置面11a上,在基板12s移動方向的前方和後方分別設置有噴嘴列14F、14R,噴嘴列14F、14R沿寬度方向以規定的噴嘴間距P突出設置複數個具有噴嘴口15的噴出用噴嘴13。上述前方和後方的噴嘴列14F、14R的噴出用噴嘴13中,後方的噴嘴列14R的噴出用噴嘴13相對於前方的噴嘴列14F的噴出用噴嘴13配置在位置偏移1/2P的交錯位置上。 On the facing surface 11a of the single manifold 11 opposite to the substrate 12s, nozzle rows 14F and 14R are provided in front and rear of the substrate 12s in the moving direction, respectively. The nozzle rows 14F and 14R protrude at a predetermined nozzle pitch P in the width direction. A plurality of ejection nozzles 13 having a nozzle opening 15 are provided. Among the above-mentioned front and rear nozzle rows 14F and 14R, the discharge nozzles 13 of the rear nozzle row 14R are arranged at staggered positions shifted by 1 / 2P relative to the discharge nozzles 13 of the front nozzle row 14F. on.

噴出用噴嘴13的結構與實施例1相同。 The configuration of the ejection nozzle 13 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

第9圖表示在實施例2中對寬度為Wn的基板12s進行成膜時的使用狀態,基板12s的寬度小於通常時的寬度為Ws的基板12。在這種情况下,由於從噴嘴列14F、14R的端部的噴出用噴嘴13E噴出的蒸發材料無謂地噴出,所以如第9C圖所示,在端部的噴出用噴嘴13E上安裝有一封閉塞21,以此端部的噴出用噴嘴13E不噴出蒸發材料的方式進行蒸鍍。 FIG. 9 shows a use state when a substrate 12s having a width Wn is formed in Example 2. The width of the substrate 12s is smaller than that of the substrate 12 having a width Ws in a normal state. In this case, since the evaporation material ejected from the ejection nozzles 13E at the end portions of the nozzle rows 14F and 14R is discharged unnecessarily, as shown in FIG. 9C, a closing plug is attached to the ejection nozzles 13E at the end portions. 21, vapor deposition is performed such that the ejection nozzle 13E at the end portion does not eject the evaporation material.

在上述實施例2中,相對於前方的噴嘴列14F的噴出用噴嘴13E的設置數量,後方的噴嘴列14R的噴出用噴嘴13少一個。例如第9A圖所示,當以中心線CL為基準使得基板12s移動時,在噴出用噴嘴13設置數量多的前方的噴嘴列14F中,在兩端側的噴出用噴嘴13E上安裝封閉 塞21,以兩端側的噴出用噴嘴13E不噴出蒸發材料的方式進行蒸鍍。此外,當以側線SL為基準使基板12s移動時,在前方的噴嘴列14F中的與側線SL相反側的兩個噴出用噴嘴13E、以及後方的噴嘴列14R中的與側線SL相反側的一個噴出用噴嘴13E上安裝封閉塞21,以上述噴出用噴嘴13E不噴出蒸發材料的方式進行蒸鍍。由此,即使是對寬度小的基板12s進行蒸鍍時,也不會無謂地噴出蒸發材料,從而可提高蒸鍍材料的利用效率。並且,也可以將上述封閉塞21安裝於實施例1的噴出用噴嘴13。 In the second embodiment described above, the number of the ejection nozzles 13E in the rear nozzle row 14R is one less than the number of the ejection nozzles 13E in the front nozzle row 14F. For example, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the substrate 12s is moved based on the centerline CL, the front nozzle row 14F with a large number of the ejection nozzles 13 is installed and closed on the ejection nozzles 13E at both ends. The plug 21 is vapor-deposited so that the evaporation nozzles 13E on both end sides do not discharge the evaporation material. When the substrate 12s is moved with the side line SL as a reference, the two ejection nozzles 13E on the opposite side of the side line SL from the front nozzle row 14F and the one on the side opposite to the side line SL of the rear nozzle row 14R A closing plug 21 is attached to the ejection nozzle 13E, and vapor deposition is performed so that the ejection nozzle 13E does not eject an evaporation material. Accordingly, even when the substrate 12s having a small width is vapor-deposited, the evaporation material is not discharged unnecessarily, and the utilization efficiency of the vapor-deposition material can be improved. In addition, the above-mentioned closing plug 21 may be attached to the discharge nozzle 13 of the first embodiment.

按照上述實施例2,在基板12s移動方向的前方和後方設置有噴嘴列14F、14R,上述噴嘴列14F、14R以規定的噴嘴間距P配置噴出用噴嘴13,透過使得各噴出用噴嘴13配置成在寬度方向上位置偏移的交錯狀,不使得噴出用噴嘴13相互接近就可以設置複數個噴嘴口15。由此,可使得噴嘴口15和基板12s的蒸鍍距離變短,而且可以保持附著膜厚的均勻性且提高材料的利用效率。 According to the second embodiment, the nozzle rows 14F and 14R are provided in front and rear of the substrate 12s in the moving direction. The nozzle rows 14F and 14R are arranged with the nozzles 13 at a predetermined nozzle pitch P, and the nozzles 13 are arranged so that The staggered position shifted in the width direction makes it possible to provide a plurality of nozzle ports 15 without causing the discharge nozzles 13 to approach each other. Thereby, the vapor deposition distance between the nozzle opening 15 and the substrate 12s can be shortened, the uniformity of the thickness of the adhered film can be maintained, and the utilization efficiency of the material can be improved.

此外,當對寬度小的基板12s進行蒸鍍時,透過在噴嘴列14F、14R端部側的噴出用噴嘴13E上安裝封閉塞21,不會無謂地噴出蒸發材料,從而可以提高蒸發材料的利用效率。 In addition, when the substrate 12s having a small width is vapor-deposited, by installing the closing plug 21 on the ejection nozzle 13E on the end side of the nozzle rows 14F and 14R, the evaporation material is not ejected unnecessarily, and the utilization of the evaporation material can be improved. effectiveness.

在岐管11的基板對置面11a上配置有前方和後方的噴嘴列14F、14R,並且使得噴嘴列14F、14R分別為前後兩列14Ff、14Fr、14Rf、14Rr。並且,各前列14Ff、14Rf的噴出用噴嘴13相對於後列14Fr、14Rr的 噴出用噴嘴13在基板12的寬度方向上偏移1/2P而配置在交錯位置上。 The front and rear nozzle rows 14F and 14R are arranged on the substrate-opposing surface 11a of the manifold 11, and the nozzle rows 14F and 14R are the front and rear rows 14Ff, 14Fr, 14Rf, and 14Rr, respectively. Further, the ejection nozzles 13 of the front rows 14Ff and 14Rf are larger than those of the rear rows 14Fr and 14Rr. The ejection nozzles 13 are shifted by 1 / 2P in the width direction of the substrate 12 and are disposed at staggered positions.
