Abstract

A deposition system uses the same low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) material, for example, a CTE of below 10 ppm / DEG C in the temperature range of 0-200 DEG C, for forming both a shadow mask and a substrate upon which depositions occur in order to overcome the heating effects of a high-temperature deposition process, thereby ensuring a uniform expansion and contraction rate of the shadow mask and the substrate.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to shadow masks for forming electronic components on substrates, and more particularly to ensuring accurate registration of shadow masks to substrates in high temperature deposition production systems. Background technique [0002] Active matrix backplanes are widely used in flat panel displays to send signals to the individual pixels of the display to create a viewable image. Currently, the active matrix backplanes used in flat panel displays are formed by photolithographic manufacturing processes, driven by the demand for higher and higher resolution displays in the market, and no other manufacturing process is possible. Photolithography is a pattern definition technique that uses electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation, to expose a resist layer deposited on the surface of a substrate. The steps of an exemplary photolithography process for producing an active matrix backplane include: coating photoresist, preb...
