Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily remove an organic film deposited on a mask without using etching by plasma and without breaking a vacuum by subjecting the organic film to heating treatment. SOLUTION: Since an organic film is evaporated or sublimated at a relatively low temp. (about <=300 deg.C) in a vacuum, by heating the mask to a temp. higher than the evaporating temp. or sublimating temp. of the material deposited on the mask, the film can be removed. The evaporated content of the film deposited on the mask redeposits on a part low in temp. of a deposition preventive board or the like. Furthermore, in the case there is a shutter for preventing radiation heat directly above an evaporating source crucible, the organic material in the crucible does not evaporate. Since the exchange of the mask at the time of maintenance is not required, the positioning of the mask may be executed only at the time of its setting at first. For heating the mask, a method of using a heater capable of radiation heating or conduction heating, a method of directly flowing electric current through the mask and generating Joule heat, a method by induction heating, or the like, can be given.

2. Description of the Related Art In manufacturing an organic EL display or the like, patterning is performed by a mask film forming technique using a mask by an organic film vacuum deposition method. When an organic film is deposited on the mask, the openings of the mask are clogged, and a pattern shift occurs due to the effect of the deposited organic film, which causes a device failure. In order to prevent this, generally, the vacuum chamber is opened to the atmosphere, the mask is taken out, and the deposited organic film is removed or replaced with a new mask. As a method of removing the organic film, a general method of regenerating a mask is to take out the film into the atmosphere and dissolve the organic film with an organic solvent, or to scrape the organic film by a method such as blasting.

In film formation of a mask for an L display or the like, if film formation is continued without removing the film adhered to the mask, a pattern shift failure or a pattern failure due to clogging of the mask occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to clean or replace the mask. As the definition of the pattern increases, clogging of the mask becomes more noticeable.

Further, it is known that the organic material is hygroscopic, and if the material is not sufficiently degassed or dehydrated, the life of the organic EL element or the like is significantly reduced.

The method of generating plasma in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-319586 and removing the film in a vacuum is not suitable for vacuum deposition of an organic film for the following reasons. 1. An electrode and a power supply for generating a plasma only for etching the film are required. 2. Since plasma etching uses an etching gas, facilities such as an exhaust gas treatment device and a gas supply device are required. There is no problem if the existing equipment can be used for the gas treatment equipment, but if a new equipment is to be used, a large cost is required. 3. When an etching electrode and a power supply are to be added to the inside of the organic film deposition apparatus, the internal structure such as an electrode shield and a high-frequency feedthrough becomes very complicated. 4. As a problem of etching by plasma, the organic material in the evaporation source crucible may be removed by radicals of the reaction gas generated by the plasma. In the organic film deposition method, it is necessary to remove only the organic film attached to the mask.

As described above, according to the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. 1) Since the organic film can be easily removed after film formation and cleaning can be performed every time, patterning accuracy with good reproducibility can be obtained as shown in the embodiment. 2) The cycle of opening the vacuum chamber to the atmosphere is extended. The vacuum chamber may be opened to the atmosphere in the material charging cycle, and the length is at least two to three times (depending on the material charging amount and film thickness) as compared with the case where there is no cleaning mechanism.

After the vacuum chamber is once opened to the atmosphere, it is evacuated for 1 hour, baked for 3 hours, and evacuated after baking until it returns to a film forming state (vacuum pressure, partial pressure of water, etc.). It takes 9 hours in total. Since the number of times that this time is required is reduced, the production efficiency is improved.

3) Since the mask is not removed at the time of maintenance, the position adjustment of the mask is performed only when the mask is first set, and the re-mask position adjusting mechanism is not required. The price of the mask position adjusting mechanism differs depending on the method and shape, but the cost is greatly reduced. 4) The time required for mask position adjustment when changing the mask is as follows:
Approximately four hours are required each time, but this time is unnecessary. 5) Only the organic film attached to the mask can be removed. Unlike the plasma etching, the material inside the evaporation source crucible is not removed.
