Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of vacuum evaporation equipment, in particular to a substrate hanging mechanism in an evaporation cavity of a vacuum evaporation machine. Background Art
[0002] The top of the evaporation chamber of the vacuum evaporation machine is equipped with a substrate limiting structure, which allows the substrate to be suspended on the top of the evaporation chamber. The substrates that need to be evaporated generally include lenses, wafers, metal plates, plastic plates, etc.
[0003] It is recorded in the Chinese public document CN117230412B (a dual-source co-evaporation vacuum evaporation machine) that two wafers are pressed against the upper and lower surfaces of the support block respectively, so that the wafers and the surfaces of the support block are fitted with each other, and the sides of the wafers are pressed between the side support blocks on the left and right sides, and the wafers squeeze the limiting block. At this time, the reset spring on the side of the limiting block is compressed, and the elastic deformation of the reset spring can limit and fix the wafer to ensure the stability of the wafer; when the wafer coating on the lower surface of the support block is completed, the connecting screw in the middle of the fixed column is rotated, and the rotation of the connecting screw can make the pressing block in the storage The air cavity moves internally, and the airflow inside its air storage cavity is squeezed out through the connecting pipe and the corresponding branch pipe into the driving cavity inside the corresponding accommodating column by the movement of the pressure block. The inflation inside the driving cavity can push the stopper and the transmission rod to rotate inside the accommodating column. The transmission rod rotates so that the support block to which it is fixed can drive the wafers on the upper and lower surfaces to flip, so that the wafer on the upper surface of the support block rotates downward, and the wafer after coating on the lower surface of the support block rotates upward. Therefore, after one of the wafers is coated, it can be flipped to coat the other wafer, thereby improving the overall evaporation processing efficiency.
[0004] The substrate limiting structure recorded in the above-mentioned public document can realize the assembly of two substrates on the same supporting block in a back-to-back manner. After the end surface of one of the substrates is evaporated, the positions of the two substrates can be swapped directly through the supporting block, and the other substrate can be evaporated. However, the substrate limiting structure is only suitable for single-sided vapor deposition. If the substrate needs to be double-sided vapor deposited, the above-mentioned limiting structure is not convenient to use, and the two substrates distributed in a back-to-back manner need to be disassembled at the same time and then turned over and installed.

[0043] The lower end surfaces of the first suspension plate 5 and the second suspension plate 6 are in the same horizontal plane, and the lower end surfaces of the two are lower than the lower end surface of the suspension plate 3, which ensures that the outer edge of the substrate being adsorbed and suspended will not be blocked.

[0046] How this solution works:
[0047] Before the evaporation machine is operated, the two electromagnetic control valves 23 are both in a closed state, that is, the air inside the air cylinder 8 and the silicone rubber suction cup 7 cannot circulate. At this time, the substrate to be evaporated is assembled below the first suspension plate 5. During the assembly process, the staff only needs to press the substrate to the bottom of the silicone rubber suction cup 7 below the first suspension plate 5. During the pressing process, the substrate can close the lower port of the silicone rubber suction cup 7 and squeeze out a part of the air inside the silicone rubber suction cup 7. At this time, negative pressure is formed between the silicone rubber suction cup 7, the air cylinder 8 and the first hose 13, and the substrate can be adsorbed and suspended below the first suspension plate 5. After the substrates are assembled, the staff can start the negative pressure suction pump 24 connected to the first hose 13 in advance, and control the air pressure in the space between the negative pressure suction pump 24 and the electromagnetic control valve 23 to be lower than the air pressure inside the silicone rubber suction cup 7, and then open the electromagnetic control valve 23 to allow the negative pressure suction pump 24 to be directly connected to the first hose 13. At this time, the substrate below the first suspension plate 5 can be adsorbed more firmly;
[0048] At this time, the evaporation operation can be carried out. After the evaporation at the lower end of the substrate is completed, the staff can use the rotating shaft and the transmission gear 20 to drive the rotating sealing column 19 to deflect and move the angle. Since the positioning pin 18 restricts the positioning recess 17, when the rotating sealing column 19 deflects with the suspension plate 3 through the special-shaped column 9, it can drive the first bevel gear 28 and the second bevel gear 29 to rotate, causing the worm 26 to deflect with the worm wheel 25, and the second suspension plate 6 can be swung toward the first suspension plate 5 to cover the second suspension plate 6 and the first suspension plate 5 to clamp the substrate. The disk 7 fits tightly against the surface of the substrate where evaporation is completed. At this time, another negative pressure suction pump 24 and the electromagnetic control valve 23 are controlled to work, so that the silicone rubber suction cup 7 under the second suspension plate 6 can limit the negative pressure adsorption of the substrate, and then the air pressure inside the air cylinder 8 is gradually restored to be consistent with the air pressure inside the evaporation machine casing 1, that is, the silicone rubber suction cup 7 under the first suspension plate 5 no longer limits the adsorption of the substrate. At this time, the rotating shaft can be triggered to perform a reset operation, and the second suspension plate 6 that has adsorbed the substrate can be reset at the same time. After the reset is completed, the end face of the substrate that has not been evaporated can also be turned downward, thereby achieving the effect of changing the surface for evaporation.
[0049] It is worth noting that the method of suspending the substrate in this scheme is not the clamping limitation commonly used in the prior art. Since the clamping devices are mostly made of metal materials, in order to ensure the stability of the substrate clamping, the clamping device will usually exceed the evaporation surface of the substrate, which is easy to block the steam particles and cause uneven coating of the substrate. Moreover, during the preheating process of the substrate, the metal clamping device is in direct contact with the substrate, which is also easy to cause the contact point between the substrate and the metal clamping device to be too cold or too hot. The overall uneven heating of the substrate is also easy to affect the uniformity of the coating.
[0050] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , this embodiment is a further description of embodiment 1, the quick-release assembly unit includes a straight groove 31 opened in the special-shaped column 9, and the special-shaped column 9 and the straight groove 31 are vertically distributed, the interior of the rotating sealing column 19 is radially slidably equipped with a sliding plate 33, and the sliding plate 33 is fixedly provided with a triangular block 32 that slides through the rotating sealing column 19 at one end close to the ventilation pipe 10, and the triangular block 32 is movably embedded in the straight groove 31, and a second spring 34 is provided between the end of the sliding plate 33 away from the triangular block 32 and the rotating sealing column 19, and a traction rope 35 is also fixedly provided at the end of the sliding plate 33 away from the triangular block 32, and the other end of the traction rope 35 slides through the rotating The trajectory of the sealing column 19 and the traction rope 35 is ninety degrees, and the end of the traction rope 35 away from the sliding plate 33 is located at the upper end of the rotating sealing column 19, and the exposed end of the traction rope 35 is fixedly provided with a ball block 36. The lower port of the rotating sealing column 19 is provided with a bevel portion 39. The outer surface of the special-shaped column 9 is fixedly covered with a tray 37, and the upper end surface of the tray 37 is fixedly provided with a first sealing plug gasket 38, and the first sealing plug gasket 38 is abutted against the bevel portion 39, wherein the inclined surface of the triangular clamp block 32 is located at the bottom, that is, when the special-shaped column 9 moves upward toward the inside of the rotating sealing column 19, the special-shaped column 9 can be pushed into the inside of the rotating sealing column 19 through the inclined surface of the triangular clamp block 32.
[0051] In this embodiment: In this scheme, taking into account the narrow space inside the vapor deposition machine casing 1, if the structure on the suspension plate 3 needs to be inspected, maintained or replaced, the operation is extremely inconvenient. For this reason, in this scheme, the suspension plate 3 can be quickly disassembled, that is, the traction rope 35 can be directly pulled by the ball block 36, so that the triangular clamp block 32 can be retracted from the inside of the straight groove 31 to the inside of the rotating sealing column 19, and no longer restricts the special-shaped column 9. At this time, the staff can separate the special-shaped column 9 from the inside of the rotating sealing column 19, and can take out the entire structure on the suspension plate 3 from the vapor deposition machine casing 1 for inspection, maintenance or replacement of accessories.
[0052] When reassembling the suspension plate 3 to the interior of the vapor deposition machine casing 1, the staff only needs to insert the special-shaped column 9 into the interior of the rotating sealing column 19, let the triangular clamp block 32 re-insert into the interior of the straight groove 31, and restrict the special-shaped column 9 again. During the reassembly process, the first sealing plug gasket 38 will be squeezed against the bevel portion 39, and the second sealing plug gasket 40 will be squeezed against the internal structure of the hard tube 22 to ensure the sealing between the hard tube 22 and the ventilation pipe 10, the special-shaped column 9 and the rotating sealing column 19.

[0057] S4, when the real-time temperature data value reaches the preset value of the internal temperature parameter, the negative pressure suction pump 24 performs a corresponding operation;
[0058] The preset value of the internal temperature parameter in step S1 includes: setting the critical value of air pressure corresponding to each operation action respectively, each critical value of air pressure is less than the air pressure inside the housing 1 of the vapor deposition machine, establishing a fitting relationship between air pressure and temperature, and calculating the temperature value corresponding to each critical value of air pressure according to the fitting relationship as the preset value of the corresponding operation action;
[0059] The operation steps in step S2 include: inflating the negative pressure suction pump 24, exhausting the negative pressure suction pump 24, and shutting down the negative pressure suction pump 24.

[0063] In this embodiment: the fitting relationship is:
[0064] ;
[0065] In the present scheme, it is taken into consideration that the internal temperature of the vapor deposition machine casing 1 will rise when it is working, which will affect the negative pressure adsorption strength of the first hose 13 and the second hose 14 on the substrate. That is, in the present scheme, the two negative pressure suction pumps 24 can give the silicone rubber suction cup 7 at the bottom of the first hose 13 or the second hose 14 to adhere to the substrate, thereby ensuring that the air pressure inside the first hose 13 or the second hose 14 is continuously lower than the internal extrusion of the vapor deposition machine casing 1, that is, ensuring effective negative pressure absorption and suspension of the substrate, and the three operating steps are used in conjunction with the process of switching the substrate between the two silicone rubber suction cups 7.
