Abstract

The invention is to stabilize water vapor partial pressure and further stabilize the film quality of a transparent conductive film. A film formation device comprises a first vacuum chamber, a gas supply source, a film formation source, and a control device. In the first vacuum chamber, a reduced pressure state is maintained and a carrier for holding a substrate can be transported in and out. The gas supply source is capable of supplying a water vapor gas to the first chamber. The film formation source is disposed in the first vacuum chamber and is capable of generating a material of a transparent conductive film formed on the substrate. When the transparent conductive film is to be formed on the substrate, the control device controls the range of the water vapor partial pressure of the first vacuum chamber between a first partial pressure or higher and a second partial pressure or lower, which is higher than the first partial pressure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a film forming device and a film forming method. Background technique [0002] In forming a transparent conductive film used for a touch panel or the like, a sputtering method excellent in large-area film formation, film quality control, and the like is generally used. In the sputtering method, in order to suppress oxygen deficiency of the transparent conductive film, oxygen gas may be introduced into the vacuum vessel (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [0003] However, in an actual film forming process, gases other than the introduced gas also exist in the vacuum container. As such gas, water vapor is mentioned. For example, water vapor is released from components provided on the inner wall of the processing chamber, the vacuum chamber. For water vapor, sufficient degassing treatment is performed by drying the vacuum vessel in advance while exhausting it, or performing a pre-discharge before film formation. [0004] H...
