Embodiment 1

[0063] figure 1 A schematic view of the thin film forming apparatus of Example 1 is shown in . An object stage 25 is held on the bottom plate 20 via a moving mechanism 21 . The movement mechanism 21 includes an X movement mechanism 22 , a Y movement mechanism 23 , and a θ rotation mechanism 24 . Define an XYZ rectangular coordinate system in which the horizontal plane is the XY plane and the vertical direction is the Z-axis. The X moving mechanism 22 moves the Y moving mechanism 23 in the X-axis direction. The Y movement mechanism 23 moves the θ rotation mechanism 24 in the Y direction. The θ rotation mechanism 24 changes the posture of the stage 25 in the rotation direction with an axis parallel to the Z axis as a rotation center. The stage 25 holds a substrate (for example, a printed wiring board) 50 to be formed into a thin film. For the stage 25, for example, a vacuum chuck is used.

Abstract

The present invention provides a film pattern forming apparatus, a film pattern forming method and an adjustment method for the thin film pattern forming apparatus. When unfavorable conditions such as the nozzle hole blockage are occurs, the apparatus in operation has to be stopped to replace the nozzle. So a technology which can reduce stop time in the operation of the apparatus is expected. The film pattern forming apparatus of the present invention, is provided with a nozzle unit with a plurality of nozzle holes which discharge droplets of the film materials, and the nozzle unit is arranged opposite to the substrate held in a loading station. The substrate is moved towards the direction of the surface of the substrate by a moving mechanism relative to the nozzle unit. A first image-capturing device detects a film pattern formed by coating the film materials on the substrate. A control device enables the droplets of the film materials to be discharged toward the substrate from the nozzle unit, and an inspection pattern is formed by the film material adhered to the substrate. Further, whether the nozzle holes of the nozzle unit are in good condition is determined by the acquisition and analysis of image data of the inspection pattern captured by using the first image-capturing device captured image data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for forming a thin film pattern by discharging droplets of a thin film material from a nozzle toward a substrate, a method for forming a thin film pattern, and a method for adjusting the device. Background technique [0002] A conventional method of forming a solder resist pattern on a printed wiring board will be described. First, a photosensitive soldering resist is applied to the entire surface of the printed wiring board on which the circuit pattern is formed. The solder resist film is exposed to a predetermined mask pattern and then developed to form a solder resist pattern. [0003] The technique of forming a soldering resist pattern by making a soldering resist liquid droplet and adhering a liquid droplet only to a desired area|region of a printed wiring board and hardening it attracts attention. Droplets of the solder resist are discharged toward the printed wiring board from a plurality of nozzles. ...
