Description

[0002] Metal evaporation chamber is a kind of equipment for physical vapor deposition technology, mainly used in the preparation of thin film materials in the fields such as semiconductor, optical coating, decorative coating, etc.In these applications, the metal is usually heated to its evaporation point, so that it becomes gaseous particles, and then these particles are deposited on the substrate to form a thin film.

[0003] In the metal evaporation process, due to the characteristics of the evaporation, the baffle will also be evaporated with the corresponding metal. With the accumulation of evaporation, the thermal expansion difference between the baffle and the metal film on it and the metal film will cause the deposited metal to fall off. At the same time, the metal evaporation chamber in the prior art is designed as a cuboid, and the baffle is suspended in the middle of the chamber, which cannot directly contact the chamber wall. In a vacuum environment, heat transfer mainly relies on thermal radiation, which will cause the metal deposited on the baffle to fall off during the temperature rise of the baffle. High evaporation deposition rate will bring more heat, and the temperature rise effect will be more obvious, causing vicious circle. It affects the use of the evaporation chamber. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the baffle in the metal evaporation chamber regularly. Regular replacement of the baffle is not only inconvenient, but also affects the production cycle.

[0004] At the same time, the baffle in the prior art is suspended in the middle of the chamber by buckle, which is not only not beautiful, but also not firm in connection, and there is a certain safety risk. INVENTION CONTENTS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present application will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the drawings. The directions mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, are only the directions of the drawings. Therefore, the directions used are used to illustrate and not to limit the present application.

[0026] The metal evaporation table inner cavity baffle structure provided by the present application is shown in the schematic diagram. Figure 1 .

[0027] See Figure 1 As can be seen, the vapor deposition apparatus 1 of the present invention has an evaporation stage cavity 11. The baffle structure of the evaporation stage cavity 11 includes a baffle body 2, which includes an upper end 21 and a lower end 22. The side cross-section of the baffle body 2 is a right-angled trapezoid, and the width of the lower end 22 is larger than the width of the upper end 21 (see...). Figure 1 The side view shows that the horizontal distance from the vertical surface of the upper or lower end to the slope surface is defined as the width of the lower or upper end (where the end position of the upper or lower end is the maximum width of the upper or lower end). The lower end 22 is wider and thicker, making it easier to stand stably in the evaporation platform cavity 11. The baffle body 2 has a vertical surface that fits against the side wall of the evaporation platform cavity 11 and a slope surface that contacts the gas in the evaporation platform cavity 11. The vertical surface is perpendicular to the lower end 22 of the baffle body 2. When the baffle body 2 is placed in the evaporation platform cavity 11, the vertical surface can fit better against the side wall of the evaporation platform cavity 11, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the baffle body 2.

[0028] A heat dissipation chamber 3 is formed on the side wall of the evaporation platform inner cavity 11. The heat dissipation chamber 3 is a single, integral chamber that allows coolant to circulate inside. An inlet 32 ​​is located at the lower end of the heat dissipation chamber 3, and an outlet 31 is located at the upper end. The inlet 32 ​​and outlet 31 work together to circulate the coolant within the heat dissipation chamber 3, carrying away heat and achieving a heat dissipation effect. The inlet 31 is located at the lower end, and a water pump pumps circulating coolant into it. The heat dissipation chamber 3 is a single, integral piece, and its area is at least the same as the vertical surface area of ​​the baffle body 2, ensuring a sufficiently large contact area and thus guaranteeing good heat dissipation.

[0029] To better ensure the heat dissipation effect of the baffle body 2, the side wall material of the evaporation platform inner cavity 11 and the material of the baffle body 2 can both be made of metal with good thermal conductivity, such as copper. Multiple heat dissipation fins 23 are arranged at equal intervals on the slope surface of the baffle body 2. The heat dissipation fins can be at a certain angle to the slope surface, but in order to ensure that the heat dissipation fins 23 do not occupy the internal space of the evaporation platform inner cavity 11 as much as possible, the heat dissipation fins 23 should be tilted towards the surface of the slope surface as much as possible.

[0030] To facilitate the fixing of the baffle body 2 within the evaporator cavity 11 and for easy disassembly and replacement, this utility model employs a fixing assembly to secure the baffle body 2. Specifically, four symmetrical insertion holes 24 are formed at the upper end 21 and lower end 22 of the baffle body 2. The fixing rod body 4 enters through the insertion holes 24 and its tail end is fixed in a slot 33 on the side wall of the evaporator cavity 11.

[0031] The tail end of the fixing rod body 4 is fixed in the slot 33. In this embodiment, one implementation adopts an interference fit method (not shown in the figure). The size of the slot 33 is set to be smaller than that of the insertion hole 24. At this time, the size of the fixing rod body 4 is comparable to that of the insertion hole 24, but larger than that of the slot 33. When the tail end of the fixing rod body 4 enters the slot 33, it can be fixed in the slot by interference fit. At the same time, the baffle body 2 can be disassembled by directly pulling out the fixing rod body 4.

[0032] Another implementation method in this embodiment uses, as follows: Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The elastic fixing method at point A secures the fixing rod body 4. (See also...) Figure 2 The enlarged view at point A shows a spring placement cavity 5 located outside the slot 33. The spring placement cavity 5 is fixed to the slope surface and parallel to the lower end 22. A spring body 6 is located inside the spring placement cavity 5. The fixing rod body 4 passes through the spring placement cavity 5, the spring body 6, and the insertion hole 24. A baffle 42 is provided on the fixing rod body 4, positioned inside the spring placement cavity 5, and abuts against the spring body 6. The spring body 6 applies a spring force to the baffle 42, ensuring that the end of the fixing rod body 4 is securely inserted into the slot 33. This eliminates the need for the slot 33 to be smaller than the fixing rod body 4, reducing interference fit wear and increasing service life.

[0033] To facilitate the pulling of the fixing rod body 4 and allow it to easily move out of the slot 33, so that the baffle body 2 can be easily disassembled, a lever 41 is provided at the end of the fixing rod body 4 after it extends out of the spring placement cavity 5. The size of the lever 41 is larger than the size of the spring placement cavity 5. At this time, the upper and lower ends of the lever 41 extend relative to the upper and lower ends of the spring placement cavity 5, so that the lever 41 can be easily pulled when it abuts against the spring placement cavity 5.

[0034] The above provides a detailed description of the baffle structure inside the metal evaporation stage provided by this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the structure and working principle of this utility model. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
