Problems solved by technology

Therefore, there is a problem that the vapor-deposited film cannot be formed at an accurate vapor-deposition rate and the desired characteristics of the vapor-deposited film cannot be obtained.
[0009] In addition, when forming a vapor deposition film by co-deposition of two vapor deposition materials, there is a problem that one pressure sensor cannot calculate the vapor deposition rate of each vapor deposition material.

Abstract

The present invention provides an evaporation apparatus. In the evaporation device, on a material conveying pipe (17) for guiding evaporated particles to a glass substrate (12), a flow control valve (18) which is sued for adjusting opening of the flow is arranged. A first pressure sensor (21) is arranged in the material conveying pipe (17) at the downstream side of the flow control valve (18), and a second pressure sensor (22) is arranged in a vacuum chamber (11). A controller (24) calculates flow of evaporated particles through a pressure difference (P1-P2) between pressures (P1,P2) measured by two pressure sensors (21,22), thereby measuring evaporation velocity of evaporated particles to the glass substrate (12). Furthermore the controller (24) adjusts opening of the material conveying pipe (17) by means of the flow control valve (18) so as to set the measured evaporation velocity to a preset evaporation velocity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vapor deposition device, for example, to a vapor deposition device used for vapor deposition of metal thin films, organic material thin films, metal electrode wiring of solar cells and display panels, organic EL light-emitting layers, and the like. Background technique [0002] Usually, by vacuum degree 10 -4 The above-mentioned thin film and the like are formed by vapor deposition in a high-vacuum vacuum atmosphere of Pa or higher. For example, in the vacuum evaporation device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2005-330537, a dispersion chamber (manifold) is provided in a high-vacuum vacuum chamber, and evaporation from a material storage container (crucible) equipped with a heating mechanism is provided. The material (evaporated particles) is introduced into the dispersion chamber, and the evaporated particles are released from a plurality of nozzles provided on the upper part of the manifold, a...
