[0043] In order to facilitate the connection between the vacuum connection platform 1 and the lower moving platform, a countersunk hole is provided on the upper end surface of the vacuum connection platform 1 . There are multiple countersunk holes surrounding the outer periphery of the air port 12 .

[0044] The middle part of the upper end surface of the base 2 protrudes upward to form a first boss 21, and a first air hole 22 is provided on the upper end surface of the first boss 21. The first air hole 22 extends downward and passes through the base 2, and the base 2 is connected to the upper end surface of the vacuum connecting platform 1 so that the first air hole 22 and the air port 12 are connected. When the vacuum connecting platform 1 is connected to a vacuum pump, the position of the first air hole 22 at the first boss 21 can provide a vacuum adsorption and fixing effect on the substrate.

[0045] The substrate holder 3 is provided with a holding groove 31, a connecting hole 32 and a fastening assembly, wherein the holding groove 31 is provided on the upper end surface of the substrate holder 3 for the substrate to be embedded; the connecting hole 32 is opened at the bottom of the holding groove 31 and passes through the substrate holder 3, and the size and shape of the connecting hole 32 and the first boss 21 are consistent, so that the first boss 21 extends into the connecting hole 32, so that the upper end surface of the first boss 21 is coplanar with the bottom of the holding groove 31, and at the same time, the substrate holder 3 is nested in the upper end surface of the base 2, thereby realizing the fixation of the base 2 and the substrate holder 3; the fastening assembly is provided in plurality and distributed on the outer periphery of the holding groove 31, and is used to fix the aligned substrate and mask plate, so that the aligned substrate and mask plate are retained on the substrate holder 3 for easy picking and operation.

When the second quick-connector 43 is connected to the vacuum pump, a vacuum adsorption force can be formed at the position of the second air hole 44, thereby adsorbing and fixing the mask.

[0051] Of course, in order to facilitate the alignment operation, the mask holder 4 also needs to be fixed on the upper moving platform, and the substrate on the substrate holder 3 and the mask on the mask holder 4 can be aligned by moving the upper moving platform and the lower moving platform.

[0052] When in use, the substrate holder 3 is assembled onto the base 2, the base 2 is connected to the vacuum connecting platform 1 so that the first air hole 22 and the air port 12 are connected, and the vacuum connecting platform 1 is fixed to the lower moving platform; the substrate is placed in the holding groove 31 of the substrate holder 3, and the substrate is adsorbed and fixed to the holding groove 31 of the substrate holder 3 through the adsorption effect formed by the vacuum air path at the position of the first air hole 22; the mask plate is placed at the lower end of the mask plate holder 4, and the mask plate is adsorbed and fixed to the mask plate holder 4 through the adsorption effect formed by the vacuum air path at the position of the second air hole 44; the alignment operation is realized by manipulating the upper moving platform and the lower moving platform, the mask plate holder is lowered so that the mask plate and the substrate are closely attached to each other, and the substrate and the mask plate are fastened and installed on the upper end surface of the substrate holder 3 through the fastening assembly; the base 2 and the mask plate holder 4 are released from the vacuum clamping state by turning off the vacuum pump, and the substrate holder 3 is removed to realize the in-situ holding and storage of the substrate-mask plate. After completing the alignment operation, the substrate-mask template can be directly placed together with the substrate holder 3 into a matching tray suitable for various thin film preparation devices for thin film preparation. No additional fixation is required. It is suitable for various sample libraries or load-lock devices without affecting the placement of samples, which can greatly improve the preparation efficiency of the device.

[0053] With such an arrangement, the device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. After the alignment operation, the substrate and the mask can be kept fixed, which is conducive to the efficient preparation of high-density array structure thin film devices and the rapid transfer of samples between various processes in the preparation of thin film devices.

[0054] In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the vacuum connection table 1 is provided with a second boss 14, and correspondingly, a connection socket 24 is provided on the lower end surface of the base 2. The second boss 14 and the connection socket 24 are consistent in size and shape, so that the second boss 14 is embedded and fixed in the connection socket 24, so that the base 2 can be quickly plugged in and out of the vacuum connection table 1, and bases 2 of different sizes can be easily replaced, thereby providing support and vacuum adsorption for substrates of different sizes. Specifically, the second boss 14 and the connection socket 24 can be set to a cylindrical shape. Here, the positions of the connection socket 24 and the first boss 21 correspond, so that the first air hole 22 runs through the interior of the connection socket 24, and an air groove 13 is provided on the upper end surface of the second boss 14, and a plurality of air ports 12 are provided in the air groove 13, which facilitates the communication between the first air hole 22 and the air port 12.

[0055] In order to provide a relatively uniform vacuum adsorption force, a first vacuum groove 23 is provided on the upper end surface of the first boss 21, and a plurality of first air holes 22 are provided and distributed in the first vacuum groove 23, so that when the substrate is adsorbed, the substrate is adsorbed through the first vacuum groove 23, so that the plurality of first air holes 22 are subjected to uniform and stable force. Here, the first vacuum groove 23 is in an X-shape, which helps to strengthen the adsorption effect on the substrate.

[0056] In some embodiments, the substrate-mask plate in-situ holding device for high-density patterning processing further includes a frame-shaped connecting bracket 5, the mask plate holder 4 is located in the middle of the connecting bracket 5, and is provided with a plurality of connecting rods 42 extending toward the connecting bracket 5, and the connecting bracket 5 is provided with a card slot 51 for the connecting rod 42 to be embedded, and the connecting rod 42 is fixed in the card slot 51, thereby achieving the fixation of the mask plate holder 4 and the connecting bracket 5.

In this way, the adsorption effect on the mask plate can be enhanced through the two symmetrical groups of second air holes 44. At the same time, the I-shaped hollow hole simplifies the vacuum adsorption and fixation of the hollow metal mask plate during the alignment process and the fixation operation with the substrate.

[0058] The mask holder 4 is a square frame cross-shaped part, and four connecting rods 42 are located at the four vertices of the mask holder 4 and extend outward in the diagonal direction. In addition, two cantilevers 41 are arranged at the vertices of the mask holder 4 and extend toward the middle in the diagonal direction, so that the structure is stable, symmetrical, and easy to process.

In this way, when the mask is adsorbed, the mask is adsorbed through the second vacuum groove 45, so that the force on the plurality of second air holes 44 is uniform and stable.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fastening assembly includes a fastening plate 34 and a fastening screw 35. A plurality of fastening screw holes 33 are provided on the periphery of the retaining groove 31. A hole is provided at one end of the fastening plate 34 for the fastening screw 35 to pass through. When in use, the fastening screw 35 passes through the fastening plate 34 and is tightened in the fastening screw hole 33 so that one end of the fastening plate 34 is located at the position of the fastening screw hole 33 and the other end extends to the position of the retaining groove 31, thereby pressing the substrate and the mask plate against each other through the fastening plate 34. The structure is simple, convenient and reliable.

[0061] Among them, Figure 11-12 As shown, the fastening sheet 34 is set as a rigid sheet or an elastic sheet.

In addition, a spring fixing sheet is installed on the upper end surface of the sample tray 6, so that the substrate holder 3 can be fixed after being embedded in the sample tray 6.

[0064] The depth of the bearing groove 61 is consistent with the thickness of the substrate mask, so that after the substrate holder 3 is embedded in the sample tray 6 , it will not block the sample and affect its heating.

[0065] It should be noted that the thickness of the substrate holder 3 is 1-2 mm, which can match the sample tray 6 of various thin film preparation devices; the substrate holder 3 is a frame with a hole in the middle. When it is assembled on the sample tray 6 for thin film preparation, it can allow the heat source to directly heat the substrate through thermal radiation, thereby improving the heating condition of the substrate.

[0068] The I-shaped hollow hole in the middle of the mask holder 4 simplifies the vacuum adsorption fixation of the hollow metal mask during the alignment process and the fixation operation with the substrate;
