Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of vacuum coating technology, specifically to the structure of a 500cc high-capacity high-temperature beam source. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum coating equipment mainly refers to a type of substrate that is coated under high vacuum conditions. It includes many types such as vacuum ion evaporation, magnetron sputtering and laser sputtering deposition. It is mainly divided into two types: chemical vapor deposition and physical vapor deposition. Vacuum coating equipment requires a vacuum chamber, and various components are installed inside the vacuum chamber to work in a high vacuum environment.

[0003] The 500cc high-temperature beam source is used in evaporation coating equipment. It can heat materials in a vacuum environment and evaporate inorganic substances and small organic molecules. It is used for process research, testing and verification in industries such as OLED, organic photovoltaics, and perovskite photovoltaics.

[0004] Traditional 500cc high-capacity high-temperature beam sources use a single wound heating wire and only one thermocouple, which leads to inaccurate temperature monitoring. This results in a high temperature at the bottom and a low temperature at the beam source opening during material evaporation. After prolonged operation, this causes material to condense at the beam source opening, affecting the rate and uniformity of film formation and also hindering subsequent cleaning. Based on this, and in order to meet the diversified development of the market, a new structure for a 500cc high-capacity high-temperature beam source is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0013] Based on feedback from the two sets of thermocouples, the power supply to the upper and lower heating wires is adjusted in real time to ensure that the upper and lower temperatures are consistent.

[0014] A further improvement is that the heating wire one and the heating wire two are arranged in a serpentine manner on the outer ring of the crucible in the vertical direction.

[0015] A further improvement is that the heating wire one and heating wire two are made of tantalum material and are cut and wound from tantalum sheets.

[0016] A further improvement is that multiple insulating sheets are supported by several support rods.

[0017] A further improvement is that the insulating sheet has a waist-shaped hole.

[0018] A further improvement is that the insulating sheet is preferably a ceramic spacer.

[0019] A further improvement is that: the insulating sheet is provided with a heat-gathering cover on the outside, the heat-gathering cover is provided with a water-cooled inner wall on the outside, and the water-cooled outer wall is provided with a water-cooled outer wall on the outside.

[0040] This invention employs two thermocouples and two heating wires to simultaneously monitor the upper and lower temperatures. Based on the feedback from the thermocouples, the power supply to the two heating wires is adjusted in real time to ensure consistent upper and lower temperatures. Furthermore, the heating wires are sheet-shaped and made of tantalum, cut and wound from tantalum sheets. This avoids inaccurate temperature monitoring affecting the film formation rate and uniformity, as well as subsequent cleaning.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the heating wire 3 and the heating wire 4 are arranged in a serpentine manner on the outer ring of the crucible 1 in the vertical direction.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, the insulating sheet 2 is preferably a ceramic spacer. The ceramic spacer has extremely high heat resistance and thermal conductivity, and can maintain its performance and shape in high-temperature environments.

[0047] The water-cooled outer wall 12 and the water-cooled inner wall 13 are provided with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe for cooling water as needed.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the multiple sets of insulating sheets 2 is provided with an insulating base 14 for mounting the crucible 1.

Electrode 1 7 and Electrode 2 8 introduce current, thermocouple 1 5 and Thermocouple 2 6 monitor the current and provide feedback to the corresponding power supplies of heating wire 1 3 and heating wire 2 4 to adjust the power and achieve the effect of temperature control.
