Abstract

An apparatus (100) for handling a carrier in a vacuum chamber is described. The apparatus (100) includes a vacuum chamber (101) having a wall (102) with an opening (106). A first driving unit (142) isarranged outside the vacuum chamber (101) and configured to move a first driven part (143) extending through the opening (106) into the vacuum chamber (101). A first component (150) for holding or moving a carrier (30) is attached to the first driven part (143) in the vacuum chamber (101). The first driven part (143) provides a first supply passage (147) for supplying the first component (150). Further, a vacuum deposition system and a method of handling a carrier are described.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus for processing a carrier in a vacuum chamber, a vacuum deposition system, and a method of processing a carrier in the vacuum chamber. In particular, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to holding or moving carriers in a vacuum chamber. More specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to holding and moving a carrier in an alignment direction in a vacuum chamber. [0002] Embodiments of the present disclosure are particularly directed to vacuum deposition systems for depositing material on a substrate carried by a carrier, where the substrate is aligned relative to a mask prior to deposition. The methods and apparatus described herein can be used in the fabrication of organic light emitting diode (OLED) devices. Background technique [0003] For example, techniques for layer deposition on substrates include thermal evaporation, physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemi...
