Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of vacuum evaporation equipment, in particular to an evaporation device. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum evaporation is to heat the plating material to an evaporation state under a vacuum environment. The vapor formed by the plating material is irradiated onto the surface of the substrate and condensed to form a solid film. The commonly used vacuum evaporation method is resistance heating evaporation. The solid plating material is placed in a crucible and the crucible is heated by a resistance wire to liquefy the solid plating material and then evaporate. The evaporation of the substrate can only be completed on one side of the substrate before the other side is evaporated. In order to ensure the speed of the substrate evaporation process, a structure that can rotate and suspend the substrate is usually designed inside the evaporation device. That is, after the evaporation of one side of the substrate is completed, the substrate is directly driven to flip inside the evaporation device, and the other side of the substrate can be evaporated.
[0003] However, the existing evaporation devices can only perform evaporation processing on the same material of the substrate during the evaporation operation. If the two end surfaces of the substrate (such as wafers, lenses, nylon plates, resin plates, metal plates, etc.) need to be evaporated with coatings of different materials, the existing evaporation devices cannot evaporate different material coatings on the two end surfaces of the substrate in the same evaporation process. After the evaporation on one end surface of the substrate is completed, the substrate can only be turned over, and then the evaporation device can be opened to replace the coating material in the crucible before the other end surface of the substrate can be evaporated with a different material.

[0037] The clamping mechanism includes a positioning rod 18 slidably inserted into each arc-shaped groove 13, and the two ends of the positioning rod 18 are also correspondingly slidably embedded in the straight groove 14. A positioning hole 23 is opened at the end of each positioning rod 18, and a limiting rod engaged with the positioning hole 23 is fixedly arranged inside each straight groove 14.

[0039] The driving unit includes a driving motor 30 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the evaporation device housing 1, and a second gear 31 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the driving motor 30, a third gear 32 movably meshed with the second gear 31 is sleeved on the outer wall of one of the extension cylinders 27, a protrusion 28 is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the extension cylinder 27, and two blocks 29 for limiting the deflection angle of the protrusion 28 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the evaporation device housing 1;
[0040] The deflection angle of the extension column 27 is a, and the two blocks 29 limit the extension column 27 and the protrusion 28 in the range of 0≤a≤180 degrees. Limiting the deflection angle of the extension column 27 is to limit the deflection angle of the cross structure. If the deflection angle exceeds 180 degrees, the airflows of the two chambers are interconnected.
[0041] The working principle of being able to evaporate different materials on the two mirror surfaces of the substrate in the evaporation device:
[0042] First, assemble the substrate to be coated. The staff can push the right-angle block 15 to deflect the rotating sleeve 12. During the deflection process, the arc-shaped notch 13 and the straight notch 14 limit the positioning rod 18, so that several positioning rods 18 can be unfolded with several clamping columns 22. At this time, place the substrate in the central hole of the rotating sleeve 12, and then slowly release the right-angle block 15. Under the action of the first spring 17, the rotating sleeve 12 can be elastically reset. During the reset process, the clamping columns 22 can contact and clamp multiple parts of the outer wall of the substrate. Considering that the substrate may be square or elliptical, the clamping columns 22 clamp During the process, the extension of the clamping column 22 can be adjusted by the different compression degrees of the second spring 21 to ensure stable clamping of the substrate. After the substrates to be coated are assembled in the two turntables 10, the staff can add two different plating materials to be evaporated into the two crucibles 5 respectively, and then the evaporation device shell 1 can be closed, and the two independent evaporation chambers can be vacuumed by the air pumping connection tube 6. After the negative pressure inside the independent evaporation chamber reaches the specified value, the crucible 5 is heated by the resistance wire to melt the plating material in the crucible 5 and evaporate it, and the lower end surface of the substrate inside the independent evaporation chamber is coated.
[0043] After the evaporation is completed on the lower end surface of the substrate in the two independent evaporation chambers, the staff inflates the interior through the air pumping and inflation connection tube 6. After inflation, the high temperature caused by the evaporation of the coating material in the independent evaporation chamber can be alleviated. After the temperature in the independent evaporation chamber drops, the steam flow that was previously scattered in the independent evaporation chamber will quickly condense. At this time, the cross structure can be rotated 180 degrees by the driving motor 30. After the rotation, the positions of the two first partition plates 2 are replaced. After the position replacement, the substrate is equivalent to being flipped once, and the surface that has not been coated before faces downward. At this time, the interior of the two independent evaporation chambers is evacuated again and the crucible 5 is heated. Different coating layers can be evaporated on the other end surface of the substrate, thereby realizing another substrate installation and evaporation process. Different materials are evaporated on the two mirror surfaces of the substrate at the same time. In the evaporation process, since the two independent evaporation chambers are relatively closed, there will be no confusion in the evaporation materials.
[0044] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 6-9 This embodiment is a further description of the first embodiment. The third gear 32 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the extension cylinder 27 , and a transmission mechanism is provided between the third gear 32 and the two turntables 10 .
[0045] The transmission mechanism includes a worm 8 that rotates and passes through two cavities 9 and two extension cylinders 27. The worm 8 has two worm grooves, and the two worm grooves are located on the inner sides of the two cavities 9. A worm wheel 25 is rotatably arranged inside each cavity 9, and the worm wheel 25 is in transmission engagement with the worm 8. A toothed ring 24 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of each rotating sleeve 12. Two mutually meshing first gears 26 are installed between the worm wheel 25 and the toothed ring 24, and one of the first gears 26 is fixedly installed concentrically. At the top of the worm wheel 25, another first gear 26 is movably engaged with the gear ring 24, the first gear 26 not fixed to the worm wheel 25 is rotatably assembled with the cavity 9, a fixing frame 33 is fixed between the end of the worm 8 and the third gear 32, and a clamping component is provided between the third gear 32 and the extension column 27, the two cavities 9 are separated, and the worm groove of the worm 8 is also located inside the cavity 9, that is, under the obstruction of the second partition plate 3, the airflow of the two chambers will not circulate during the evaporation operation.
[0046] The clamping component includes a plurality of circumferentially equidistantly distributed concave arc grooves 34 opened on the outer surface of the extension cylinder 27, a plurality of circumferentially equidistantly distributed positioning pins 35 are slidably embedded inside the third gear 32, and the dome part of the positioning pin 35 movably extends out of the third gear 32, and a third spring 36 is fixedly arranged between one end of the positioning pin 35 away from the extension cylinder 27 and the third gear 32, and the positioning pin 35 is movably engaged with the concave arc groove 34. When the extension cylinder 27 is stuck and cannot move, the second gear 31 can drive the third gear 32 and the worm 8 to idle inside and outside the extension cylinder 27.
[0047] In this embodiment: the driving motor 30 can rotate the extension column 27 180 degrees counterclockwise or clockwise through the meshing of the second gear 31 and the third gear 32, and after each position adjustment of the extension column 27 is completed, the driving motor 30 can still continue to drive the third gear 32. Due to the jamming of the extension column 27, the rotational force formed between the third gear 32 and the extension column 27 can push the positioning pin 35 to the inside of the third gear 32. At this time, the third gear 32 can drive the worm 8 to rotate idly through the fixing frame 33. The rotation of the worm 8 can drive the turntable 10 to rotate inside the first partition plate 2 through the action of the worm wheel 25 and the first gear 26, so that the substrate will change position during the evaporation process following the rotation of the turntable 10, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the evaporation.
[0048] Example 3: Please refer to Fig.10This embodiment is a further explanation of Embodiments 1 and 2. Two heat conduction frames 37 are fixedly installed inside the evaporation device housing 1, and the two heat conduction frames 37 are respectively mounted on the outer surfaces of the two crucibles 5. A liquid storage cylinder 38 is fixedly installed inside each heat conduction frame 37. The interior of the extension column 27 is hollow. The interior of the silica gel wrapping layer 7 is evenly distributed with infusion channels, and both ends of the infusion channels are connected to the interior of the extension column 27. A delivery pipe 39 is provided between each liquid storage cylinder 38 and the end of one of the extension columns 27.
[0049] The evaporation device provided by the utility model comprises the following steps when performing evaporation:
[0050] S1, using the heat of the crucible 5 to transport the medium in the liquid storage cylinder 38 through the delivery tube 39 to the infusion channel of the silica gel coating layer 7, and recording the volume change of the silica gel coating layer 7;
[0051] S2. When the volume of the silicone coating layer 7 expands to a preset critical value, the change in the heat value Q of the heat conduction frame 37 over time is recorded and compared with the preset heat threshold value:
[0052] S3. When the calorific value Q exceeds the preset calorific value range, a pressure relief module is provided at the end of the extension column 27 away from the delivery pipe 39 to perform pressure relief treatment on the silica gel wrapping layer 7 and obtain a control strategy;
[0053] S4. Analyze the control strategy results and start the driving unit to drive the partition component to rotate and adjust the position of the suspension unit.
[0054] The regulatory strategy and its analysis process include:
[0055] Record the infusion channel pressure P through the pressure relief module i Size and expansion volume V of the silicone wrapping layer 7 i ;
[0056] By formula Calculate the balance coefficient E q , where t0 is the start time of the pressure relief module to release pressure, t is the time consumed to complete the entire pressure relief process; V0 is the standard expansion volume; α and γ are both preset weight coefficients, and α and γ are both greater than 0;
[0057] The balance factor E q With the preset balance coefficient threshold [E A , E B ] for comparison:
[0058] When E q ∈[E A , E B], it is judged that the silica gel coating layer 7 is in a balanced state and is currently in a vapor deposition state;
[0059] When E q >E B When , it is judged that the silica gel wrapping layer 7 is in an expanded state, and pressure relief treatment is performed;
[0060] When E q <E A When the silicone wrapping layer 7 is in a contracted state, the driving unit is started.
[0061] In this embodiment, when the crucible 5 is heated to melt the plating material and make it evaporate, the heat conduction frame 37 can transfer part of the heat to the liquid storage cylinder 38. Since the interior of the liquid storage cylinder 38 is in a closed state, the medium inside it will expand due to the high temperature and high pressure, and then be transported to the infusion channel of the silica gel wrapping layer 7 through the delivery pipe 39, so that the silica gel wrapping layer 7 expands and deforms. It is worth noting that when the temperature of the crucible 5 is at a temperature that melts the plating material but does not reach the temperature that evaporates the plating material, the pressure inside the silica gel wrapping layer 7 is in a balanced state. At this time, E q ∈[E A , E B ], within this value, the small expansion of the silica gel wrapping layer 7 can fill the gap between the cross structure and the evaporation device housing 1 and the concave arc top support block 4 to ensure the complete sealing of the two independent evaporation chambers and ensure that when two different materials are used for evaporation, the vapor flow of the coating materials will not be mixed;
[0062] When the temperature of the crucible 5 reaches the point where the melted plating material can be evaporated, E q >E B In order to avoid excessive expansion of the silica gel coating 7 and the occurrence of bursting, when E q >E B The pressure relief module is triggered to perform pressure relief processing to ensure that E is always maintained during the process of crucible 5 heating the plating material. q ∈[E A , E B ];
[0063] When the evaporation on one side of the substrate is completed, the temperature of the crucible 5 also begins to drop, and the steam flow in the independent evaporation chamber begins to condense. q <E A , the medium in the infusion channel of the silicone coating layer 7 begins to flow back into the liquid storage cylinder 38, and the silicone coating layer 7 becomes shriveled. At this time, there is a certain gap between the silicone coating layer 7 and the evaporation device shell 1 and the concave arc top support block 4, which makes it easier for the driving unit to adjust the position of the cross structure.
