Description

一種使用靜電板承載一金屬網板而進行蒸鍍的方法及其裝置Method and device for performing vapor deposition using electrostatic plate to carry a metal mesh plate

本發明係關於一種蒸鍍方法及其裝置,尤其涉及一種使用一靜電板承載一金屬網板來進行蒸鍍的方法及其裝置。The present invention relates to an evaporation method and apparatus thereof, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for performing vapor deposition using an electrostatic plate to carry a metal mesh plate.

有機發光二極體或有機電致發光顯示器,係屬於不需要背光之低耗電、輕薄型的顯示裝置,因此被廣泛地應用。一般來說,通常係藉由蒸鍍用金屬遮罩(以下簡稱為金屬遮罩)遮於基板中間表面上,來進行蒸鍍。這時候,金屬遮罩與基板的位置必須相當準確且在蒸鍍過程中不產生偏離。又,由於電致發光元件係採用陽極層與陰極層來夾住發光層,而使發光層受電激而發光,因此蒸鍍後所形成的發光層中,每一個畫素區的位置配置必須相當精準。是以,高精度的對位對於高顯示畫面的需求,佔有決定性的因子。再者,隨著顯示器大型化或者使用大型基板一次製作複數個小型顯示器的量產化等趨勢日益漸增,金屬遮罩也不可避免地亦須滿足高精細度的要求。An organic light-emitting diode or an organic electroluminescence display is a low-power, thin-light display device that does not require a backlight, and thus is widely used. In general, vapor deposition is usually performed by masking a metal mask for vapor deposition (hereinafter simply referred to as a metal mask) on the intermediate surface of the substrate. At this time, the position of the metal mask and the substrate must be quite accurate and there is no deviation during the evaporation process. Further, since the electroluminescent device uses the anode layer and the cathode layer to sandwich the light-emitting layer, and the light-emitting layer is excited by light, the position of each pixel region in the light-emitting layer formed after vapor deposition must be equivalent. Precision. Therefore, the high-precision alignment has a decisive factor for the demand for high display screens. Furthermore, as the size of the display increases or the mass production of a plurality of small displays is performed at a time using a large substrate, the metal mask is inevitably required to meet the high definition requirements.

傳統上,金屬遮罩係指固定在金屬框架上的金屬網板。於進行蒸鍍製程時,會先將金屬遮罩與基板進行對位。一般來說,金屬遮罩與基板的對位,係在與顯示區無關的端部區域標記至少一對位標記,以進行對位,便於後續進行蒸鍍。然,由於顯示器逐漸大型化的關係,所使用的金屬網板因自重而其中心部份自然下垂的情況越來嚴重,如第五圖所示。此時,即使金屬遮罩本身具有高精細度且也進行高精度對位,一旦發生自重下垂現象,不僅增加了對位的難度,而且金屬遮罩與基板之間無法完全密接,蒸鍍材料便無法精準地穿透過此等微細開孔而形成於基板上,進而影響蒸鍍結果。又,對此情況,倘若在基板的背側以例如永久磁鐵等強磁性的元件,使金屬遮罩受磁性吸引且完全密接於基板上,又可能因為金屬網板並非在相當平坦的情況下而受磁性吸引,因此即便是利用磁性吸引而使其完全密接,也可能會導致金屬薄板彎曲或者是Traditionally, metal masks refer to metal mesh panels that are fixed to a metal frame. When the vapor deposition process is performed, the metal mask is first aligned with the substrate. Generally, the alignment of the metal mask with the substrate marks at least one pair of mark marks in the end regions unrelated to the display area for alignment, so as to facilitate subsequent vapor deposition. However, due to the gradual enlargement of the display, the metal stencil used has a natural drooping of the center portion due to its own weight, as shown in the fifth figure. At this time, even if the metal mask itself has high definition and high-precision alignment, once the self-weight sagging phenomenon occurs, not only the difficulty of the alignment is increased, but also the metal mask and the substrate cannot be completely adhered, and the evaporation material is formed. It is impossible to accurately penetrate these fine openings and form on the substrate, thereby affecting the vapor deposition result. Moreover, in this case, if the metal mask is magnetically attracted and completely adhered to the substrate by a ferromagnetic element such as a permanent magnet on the back side of the substrate, the metal mesh may not be relatively flat. Magnetically attracted, so even if it is completely adhered by magnetic attraction, it may cause the metal sheet to bend or

此,該如何提高金屬遮罩之對位精準度及蒸鍍精準度,實為本領域者亟欲解決的問題。Therefore, how to improve the alignment accuracy and vapor deposition precision of the metal mask is a problem that the field is eager to solve.

The second figure is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electrostatic plate adsorbed and fixed on a metal mesh plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3A to 3D are schematic structural views showing a flow of transporting a metal mesh plate into an evaporation chamber and performing vapor deposition in the first embodiment of the present invention. The evaporation process is carried out under vacuum. Referring to FIG. 3A first, the vapor deposition apparatus includes a vapor deposition chamber 201, a substrate 202, a magnetic adsorption device 204, a transport mechanism (shown), and a registration mechanism (not shown).

It should be noted that although the above-mentioned transport mechanism is not shown in the drawings, the transport mechanism is a mechanism that can be changed by a person with ordinary knowledge, and therefore will not be described herein.

請繼續參考第一圖,金屬網板102係放置於靜電板104上。更具體來說,金屬網板102為一金屬薄板且具有多個圖案化開孔(未繪示),以於後續蒸鍍過程中蒸鍍材料可以透過此等開孔而附著於玻璃基板上。而靜電板104具有一支撐面104a,支撐面104a用以承載金屬網板102於其上。其次,靜電板104可以例如為靜電吸附板(Electro-Static Chuck),其係受電能開啟而使支撐面104a上產生靜電吸引作用,至於靜電板104內部材料等細節,並不用以限定本發明,故不在此加以贅述。Referring to the first figure, the metal mesh panel 102 is placed on the electrostatic board 104. More specifically, the metal mesh plate 102 is a metal thin plate and has a plurality of patterned openings (not shown) for the vapor deposition material to adhere to the glass substrate through the openings during the subsequent evaporation process. The electrostatic board 104 has a supporting surface 104a for supporting the metal mesh board 102 thereon. Secondly, the electrostatic board 104 can be, for example, an Electro-Static Chuck, which is electrostatically opened to cause electrostatic attraction on the support surface 104a, and details such as the internal material of the electrostatic board 104 are not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, it will not be repeated here.

請繼續參照第一圖,當金屬網板102放置於靜電板104上時,金屬網板102與靜電板104的支撐面104a之間可能有空隙存在,如第一圖的區域A之部分放大圖所示。接著,開啟靜電板104之靜電開關,使靜電板104之支撐面104a上產生靜電,此時,金屬網板102便如第二圖所示平整地吸附於靜電板104上。Referring to the first figure, when the metal mesh plate 102 is placed on the static electricity plate 104, there may be a gap between the metal mesh plate 102 and the support surface 104a of the electrostatic plate 104, as shown in a partial enlarged view of the area A of the first figure.

At this time, the metal mesh plate 102 is uniformly adsorbed on the electrostatic plate 104 as shown in the second figure.

請參照第三A圖,基板202為一被蒸鍍對象,例如為玻璃基板,且係藉由一承載裝置203所支撐而設置於蒸鍍室201內。其中,基板202具有兩相對的下表面與上表面,分別定義為蒸鍍面202a與非蒸鍍面202b。磁性吸附裝置204係設置於蒸鍍室201內,且位於基板202的非蒸鍍面202b的上方。再者,磁性吸附裝置204具有一表面204a,此表面204a與基板202之非蒸鍍面202b接觸。其中,磁性吸附裝置204可以例如為磁石或電磁鐵,但並不用以限定本發明。再者,磁性吸附裝置204電耦接電腦控制裝置,並受電腦控制裝置控制而啟動或關閉,使得磁性吸附裝置204的表面204a可以產生磁性吸引作用或無磁性吸引作用。至於磁性吸附裝置204內部材料等細節,並不用以限定本發明,故不在此加以贅述。其次,蒸鍍室201內更設有一蒸鍍材料206,藉由加熱蒸鍍材料206,使蒸鍍材料206可以蒸鍍而附著於基板202上。如第三A圖所示,蒸鍍材料206係設置於蒸鍍室201的中央位置,但此位置配置並非用以限定本發明,另外,也可以依需求配置多個以上的蒸鍍材料206。Referring to FIG. 3A, the substrate 202 is a vapor deposition object, for example, a glass substrate, and is disposed in the vapor deposition chamber 201 by being supported by a carrier device 203. The substrate 202 has two opposite lower surfaces and upper surfaces, which are defined as a vapor deposition surface 202a and a non-vapor deposition surface 202b, respectively. The magnetic adsorption device 204 is disposed in the vapor deposition chamber 201 and is located above the non-vapor deposition surface 202b of the substrate 202. Furthermore, the magnetic adsorption device 204 has a surface 204a that is in contact with the non-vapor-deposited surface 202b of the substrate 202. The magnetic adsorption device 204 can be, for example, a magnet or an electromagnet, but is not intended to limit the invention. Moreover, the magnetic adsorption device 204 is electrically coupled to the computer control device and is activated or deactivated by the computer control device, so that the surface 204a of the magnetic adsorption device 204 can generate magnetic attraction or non-magnetic attraction. The details of the materials and the like in the magnetic adsorption device 204 are not intended to limit the present invention, and therefore will not be described herein. Next, a vapor deposition material 206 is further provided in the vapor deposition chamber 201, and the vapor deposition material 206 is vapor-deposited and adhered to the substrate 202 by heating the vapor deposition material 206. As shown in FIG. 3A, the vapor deposition material 206 is disposed at the center of the vapor deposition chamber 201. However, this positional arrangement is not intended to limit the present invention, and a plurality of or more vapor deposition materials 206 may be disposed as needed.

請繼續參照第三A圖,將第二圖所示的靜電板104運送到蒸鍍室201內的一預定位置,並且令吸附於靜電板104上的金屬網板102朝向且接觸基板202之蒸鍍面202a。隨後,進行對位步驟,利用一對位機構,來調整基板202之蒸鍍面202a與金屬網板102之相對位置。一般來說,通常會在金屬網板102與基板202上設有對位標記,接著利用攝像裝置(未繪示),如電荷耦合元件(Charge Coupled Device,CCD)以及如驅動件(未繪示)等機構,來調整其位置,以進行對準。至於此等對位機構(未繪示),為本領域具有通常知識者可自行變化,故不在此加以贅述。Referring to FIG. 3A, the electrostatic plate 104 shown in the second figure is transported to a predetermined position in the vapor deposition chamber 201, and the metal mesh plate 102 adsorbed on the electrostatic plate 104 faces and contacts the steam of the substrate 202. Plated surface 202a. Subsequently, a registration step is performed to adjust the relative position of the vapor deposition surface 202a of the substrate 202 and the metal mesh panel 102 by using a pair of positioning mechanisms. Generally, an alignment mark is usually provided on the metal mesh plate 102 and the substrate 202, and then an image pickup device (not shown) such as a charge coupled device (CCD) and a driving member (not shown) are used. ) and other institutions to adjust their position for alignment. As for these matching organizations (not shown), those who have ordinary knowledge in the field can change their own and therefore will not be described here.

請參照第三B圖,於對位步驟之後,啟動磁性吸附裝置204,使磁性吸附裝置204產生磁性吸引作用,此時,金屬網板102會受磁性吸附裝置204之磁性吸引而吸附於基板202之蒸鍍面202a上。Referring to FIG. 3B, after the alignment step, the magnetic adsorption device 204 is activated to cause the magnetic adsorption device 204 to generate magnetic attraction. At this time, the metal mesh plate 102 is magnetically attracted by the magnetic adsorption device 204 and adsorbed on the substrate 202. On the vapor deposition surface 202a.

接著,請參照第三C圖,於金屬網板102緊密地貼合於基板202之蒸鍍面202a上之後,關閉靜電板104之靜電,使靜電板104之支撐面104a的靜電作用消失。此時,由於靜電板104與金屬網板102間的靜電吸引作用已消失,因此,金屬網板102不再受靜電板104之靜電吸引,故可將靜電板104運送離開預定位置。在另一實施例中,關閉靜電板104的步驟也可以與啟動磁性吸附裝置204的步驟同時進行。Next, referring to the third C diagram, after the metal mesh panel 102 is closely attached to the vapor deposition surface 202a of the substrate 202, the static electricity of the electrostatic panel 104 is turned off, and the electrostatic action of the support surface 104a of the electrostatic panel 104 is eliminated. At this time, since the electrostatic attraction between the electrostatic board 104 and the metal mesh 102 has disappeared, the metal mesh 102 is no longer electrostatically attracted by the electrostatic board 104, so that the electrostatic board 104 can be transported away from the predetermined position. In another embodiment, the step of turning off the electrostatic plate 104 can also be performed simultaneously with the step of activating the magnetic adsorption device 204.

請參照第三D圖,進行蒸鍍步驟,加熱蒸鍍材料206,使得蒸鍍材料206中的蒸鍍材料得以蒸鍍附著於基板202之蒸鍍面202a上。在完成蒸鍍步驟後,將靜電板104再次運送到蒸鍍室201內的預定位置,並使靜電板104之支撐面104a與金屬網板102接觸。隨後,關閉磁性吸附裝置204之磁性吸引作用,使金屬網板102不再受磁性吸附裝置204之吸引,接著,再開啟靜電板104之靜電作用,使金屬網板102靜電吸附於靜電板104上。最後,便將靜電板104及吸附於其上的金屬網板102運送離開蒸鍍室201中的預定位置。在另一實施例中,關閉磁性吸附裝置204之步驟也可以與開啟靜電板104之靜電作用之步驟同時進行。Referring to the third D diagram, the vapor deposition step is performed, and the vapor deposition material 206 is heated so that the vapor deposition material in the vapor deposition material 206 is vapor-deposited and adhered to the vapor deposition surface 202a of the substrate 202. After the vapor deposition step is completed, the electrostatic plate 104 is again transported to a predetermined position in the vapor deposition chamber 201, and the support surface 104a of the electrostatic plate 104 is brought into contact with the metal mesh plate 102. Subsequently, the magnetic attraction of the magnetic adsorption device 204 is turned off, so that the metal mesh plate 102 is no longer attracted by the magnetic adsorption device 204, and then the electrostatic action of the electrostatic plate 104 is turned on to electrostatically adsorb the metal mesh plate 102 on the electrostatic plate 104. . Finally, the electrostatic board 104 and the metal mesh plate 102 adsorbed thereon are transported away from a predetermined position in the vapor deposition chamber 201. In another embodiment, the step of turning off the magnetic adsorption device 204 can also be performed simultaneously with the step of turning on the electrostatic action of the electrostatic plate 104.

值得注意的是,上述靜電板104之運送以及靜電開閉、磁性吸附裝置204之磁性開閉以及驅動蒸鍍步驟的進行等作業,皆係由電腦控制裝置所控制。It is to be noted that the operation of the electrostatic plate 104, the electrostatic opening and closing, the magnetic opening and closing of the magnetic adsorption device 204, and the operation of driving the vapor deposition step are all controlled by the computer control device.

第四A圖至第四B圖,為本發明之第二實施例中,金屬網板運送至蒸鍍室內並且進行蒸鍍的流程結構示意圖。不同於第一實施例,此實施例的基板202係藉由一組合式吸附裝置207中的靜電吸附單元205的吸附而位於蒸鍍室201內。詳言之,如第四A圖所示,蒸鍍室201內設有一組合式吸附裝置207。組合式吸附裝置207包含靜電吸附單元205以及與靜電吸附單元205組裝在一起的磁性吸附單元204。靜電吸附單元205係設置於磁性吸附單元204之下表面,且靜電吸附單元205可受電能啟動,使其表面產生靜電。而磁性吸附單元204則相同於第一實施例中的磁性吸附裝置,係可受電能啟動,以產生磁性吸引作用。如圖所示,基板202可被運送到靜電吸附單元205的下表面下方,其後再受靜電吸附單元205之靜電吸引而吸附固定於其上。接著,便可將承載於靜電板104上的金屬網板102運送到蒸鍍室201內的一預定位置。隨後,如第四B圖所示,進行基板202與金屬網板102之對位步驟。於對位步驟之後,啟動磁性吸附單元204,使磁性吸附單元204產生磁性吸引作用,因而將金屬網板102吸附於基板202。最後,將靜電板104運送離開此預定位置後,便可以進行蒸鍍步驟。由於運送金屬網板至蒸鍍室的步驟、對位步驟、磁性吸引金屬板的步驟、蒸鍍步驟等皆與第一實施例相同,故不再此加以贅述。4A to 4B are schematic structural views showing the flow of the metal mesh plate to the vapor deposition chamber and vapor deposition in the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the first embodiment, the substrate 202 of this embodiment is located in the vapor deposition chamber 201 by adsorption of the electrostatic adsorption unit 205 in a combined adsorption device 207. In detail, as shown in FIG. 4A, a combined adsorption device 207 is provided in the vapor deposition chamber 201. The combined adsorption device 207 includes an electrostatic adsorption unit 205 and a magnetic adsorption unit 204 assembled with the electrostatic adsorption unit 205. The electrostatic adsorption unit 205 is disposed on the lower surface of the magnetic adsorption unit 204, and the electrostatic adsorption unit 205 can be activated by electric energy to generate static electricity on the surface thereof. The magnetic adsorption unit 204 is the same as the magnetic adsorption device of the first embodiment, and can be activated by electric energy to generate magnetic attraction. As shown in the figure, the substrate 202 can be transported below the lower surface of the electrostatic adsorption unit 205, and thereafter adsorbed and fixed thereto by electrostatic attraction of the electrostatic adsorption unit 205. Next, the metal mesh plate 102 carried on the electrostatic plate 104 can be transported to a predetermined position in the vapor deposition chamber 201. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4B, the alignment step of the substrate 202 and the metal mesh plate 102 is performed. After the alignment step, the magnetic adsorption unit 204 is activated to cause the magnetic adsorption unit 204 to generate a magnetic attraction, thereby adsorbing the metal mesh plate 102 to the substrate 202. Finally, after the electrostatic board 104 is transported away from the predetermined position, the vapor deposition step can be performed.

綜上所述,在本發明中,首先,藉由靜電板之靜電吸引作用,使得金屬網板能在平坦且不彎曲的情況下,固定吸附於靜電板上,如此一來,不僅有利於後續進行基板與金屬網板的對位作業,進而可大幅提高對位精準度,而且更可避免任何外力造成相對偏移的問題。又,藉由磁性吸附裝置之磁性吸引作用,使得金屬網板能精準地而且不會產生對位偏離的情況下,吸附於基板的蒸鍍面上,以進行後續的蒸鍍作業。據此,本發明不僅不會發生對位偏離,而且藉由磁性吸引而提高金屬網板與基板間的密接性,從而大幅提高蒸鍍精度。In summary, in the present invention, firstly, by the electrostatic attraction of the electrostatic plate, the metal mesh plate can be fixedly adsorbed on the electrostatic plate under the condition of being flat and not bent, so that it is not only beneficial for subsequent The alignment operation between the substrate and the metal mesh plate is performed, thereby greatly improving the alignment accuracy, and further avoiding the problem of relative offset caused by any external force. Further, by the magnetic attraction of the magnetic adsorption device, the metal mesh plate can be adsorbed on the vapor deposition surface of the substrate accurately and without causing misalignment to perform subsequent vapor deposition operations. Accordingly, the present invention not only does not cause the alignment deviation, but also improves the adhesion between the metal mesh plate and the substrate by magnetic attraction, thereby greatly improving the vapor deposition precision.
