Below, the manufacture method of functional film of the present invention and functional film are described in detail.
In the manufacture method of functional film of the present invention, form in the upper masking in the surface (film forming face) of the substrate with the surface formed by organic materials the mineral membrane that gas barrier film or antireflection film etc. show the function as target by plasma CVD.
In the present invention, when starting to form mineral membrane (formation mineral membrane) to substrate surface masking, film forming is started using the first plasma electron density that the second plasma electron density needed than the film quality in order to obtain as the performance of target is low, form the mineral membrane of the thickness of regulation in masking during, plasma electron density is changed to the second plasma electron density, afterwards, form identical mineral membrane with the second plasma electron density masking, thus masking forms out the mineral membrane of the thickness (the final thickness made) as target.
In the manufacture method of functional film of the present invention, the substrate (base material/handled object) that masking forms mineral membrane is the substrate that surface is formed by various organic materialss (organism) such as macromolecular material (polymer/polymeric) or resin materials.
Formed by organic materials if substrate is surface and the substrate of the film forming of mineral membrane can be carried out by plasma CVD, then can utilize various material.Specifically, the substrate formed by the macromolecular material such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PEN, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polymeric amide, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, polyacrylonitrile, poly-imines, polyacrylonitrile, polymethacrylate is exemplified routine as be applicable to one.
In addition, in the present invention, substrate is suitably for the tympans (flap) such as rectangular film (netted film) or sliced film, but be not limited to this, the various article (component) that the surface such as the display pannels such as photo-electric conversion element, liquid-crystal display or electronic paper such as the optical element such as lens or optical filter, organic EL or solar cell is formed by organic materials can both utilize as substrate.
And; substrate can be formed as follows: based on plastics film (macromolecule membrane), the article formed by organic materials, metallic film or sheet glass, various metal article etc. (base material), form the layer (film) formed by organic materials for obtaining various function such as protective layer, adhesive linkage, reflection layer, light shield layer, planarization layer, buffer layer, stress relaxation layer in its surface.
An example of the functional film of the present invention made by the manufacture method of functional film of the present invention is schematically shown in Fig. 1.
As shown in Figure 1, functional film 80 of the present invention is the functional films forming the mineral membrane 82 as gas barrier film (barrier layer for gases) in the surperficial masking of substrate (substrate for film deposition) Z and obtain.
At this, when carrying out film forming by plasma CVD, the integrant (free radical, ion, electronics etc.) inciding the plasma body of substrate becomes the state of the inside entering substrate (organic materials), and the mixolimnion 84 forming the organic materials/organic materials of the state of the organic materials of substrate surface and the material mixing of mineral membrane is (following, conveniently, mixolimnion 84 is called).The amount of the organic materials in mixolimnion 84 reduces gradually along with the film forming of carrying out mineral membrane, and final masking forms out the pure mineral membrane 84 of unmixed organic materials.
In functional film of the present invention, by plasma electron density when forming this mixolimnion 84 is reduced, thus in mixolimnion 84 carbon and mineral membrane constitution element in the atom % of at least one region that becomes more than 5% be formed as the thickness of 3 ~ 15nm.
When the region that the atom % of at least one of the constitution element of carbon and mineral membrane becomes more than 5% is the thickness of below 3nm, organic membrane (substrate Z) may reduce with the adhesion of mineral membrane 82.The region becoming more than 5% at the atom % of at least one of the constitution element of carbon and mineral membrane is in addition the thickness of more than 15nm, due to the lower thickness of mineral membrane 82 formed on the upper strata of mixolimnion 84, therefore gas barrier reduces, or need the thickness of entirety to be formed thicker in order to ensure gas barrier, therefore productivity reduces.
On the other hand, the region being more than 5% by the atom % of at least one of the constitution element by carbon and mineral membrane is formed as the thickness of 3 ~ 15nm, can prevent organic membrane (substrate Z) from reducing with the adhesion of mineral membrane 82, and the reduction of gas barrier or the reduction of productivity can be prevented.The present invention by specifically such structure, realize the damage of substrate Z less, the excellent and functional film 80 that gas barrier is excellent of productivity.
In functional film of the present invention, the mineral membrane that masking is formed is not particularly limited, as long as can the material of film forming on the substrate with the surface formed by organic materials by plasma CVD, can utilize various organic film.
Such as, if when forming gas barrier film (vapor barrier film) as mineral membrane, then silicon nitride film, silicon oxide film, oxygen silicon nitride membrane, DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) film etc. can be utilized.
In addition, when the protective membrane forming the various equipment such as OLED display or the such display unit of liquid-crystal display or device is as mineral membrane, silicon oxide film etc. can be utilized.
In addition, when forming the nesa coating that utilizes in the various equipment such as OLED display or the such display unit of liquid-crystal display or device as mineral membrane, Zinc oxide film can be utilized.
Further, when forming luminous reflectance and preventing the bloomings such as film, light reflective film, various strainers as mineral membrane, the mineral membrane that there is or show the material as the optical characteristics of target and formed can be utilized.
Wherein, in functional film of the present invention, be applicable to utilizing the mineral membrane being main component with the oxide compound of silicon, nitride, oxynitride, oxygen nitrogen carbide.Further, according to the present invention, masking fine and close film can be formed out, the film forming (manufacture of functional film) of gas barrier film be therefore best suited for gas barrier film, especially being formed by described silicon compound.The present invention is especially applicable to utilizing the film formed by silicon nitride.

Filming chamber 18 by inner-wall surface 12a, reel 30 side face, extend to reel 30 from inner-wall surface 12a side face near next door 36a and 36b form.
In film deposition system 10, as an example, filming chamber 18 carries out the filming chamber of film forming by CCP (CapacitivelyCoupled Plasma capacity mating type plasma body)-CVD on the surface of substrate Z, has shower electrode 20, unstripped gas feed mechanism 58, high frequency electric source 60, vacuum exhaust mechanism 62.
In film deposition system 10, when carrying out film forming by CCP-CVD, shower electrode 20 forms electrode pair together with reel 30.In illustrated example, as an example, shower electrode 20 be the roughly Nogata body shape of hollow, one as the discharge face 22 of largest face and the circumference of reel 30 to configuration.Further, multiple communicating pores is being formed with by entire surface as on the discharge face 22 of the opposed faces opposed with reel 30.Shower electrode 20 its discharge face 22 and and its side face forming the reel 30 of electrode pair between generate the plasma body being used for film forming, thus be formed into diaphragm area.
Fig. 3 be a part for the shower electrode 20 shown in Fig. 2 and reel 30 is amplified shown in schematic diagram.
The discharge face 22 of shower electrode 20 is configured to have the first discharge face 22a and the second discharge face 22b, this first discharge face 22a is formed as moving closer to the distance of reel along with towards downstream side at the upstream side of the throughput direction of substrate Z, and this second discharge face 22b is formed as in the downstream side of the throughput direction of substrate Z fixing with the value specified with the distance of reel 30.
Specifically, first discharge face 22a is the curved surface be formed in from upstream-most position on the throughput direction of substrate Z on the region of regulation, its upstream-most position at the throughput direction of substrate Z, be namely formed as first gap maximum with the gap of reel 30 to the inlet side of film-forming region, along with towards downstream side, with point-blank close to the mode of reel 30 by the Surface forming corresponding with the curved surface of reel 30.
In addition, the second discharge face 22b is the curved surface with the adjacent formation in downstream side of the first discharge face 22a, and the mode of fixing with the second gap minimum with the gap of reel 30 is by the Surface forming corresponding with the curved surface of reel 30.
In addition, shower electrode 20 becomes the gap of regulation mode with the gap between discharge face 22 and reel 30 configures from reel 30 extractor gauge set a distance, and the gap of this regulation is the gap of the second plasma electron density that the film quality of the performance that the plasma body in the region of the second discharge face 22b becomes to obtain becoming target needs.
At this, larger as the gap between the shower electrode 20 of electrode pair and reel 30, the plasma electron density for the plasma body of film forming is less.Therefore, in the region of the first discharge face 22a larger than the second discharge face 22b with the gap of reel 30, carry out film forming with the plasma electron density that the second discharge face 22b than downstream side is little.
Namely, when starting film forming, film forming is started with the first low plasma electron density, form the mineral membrane of the thickness of regulation in masking during, plasma electron density is changed to the second plasma electron density, form identical mineral membrane with the second plasma electron density masking afterwards, thus masking forms the mineral membrane as the thickness of target.
Like this, the discharge face 22 of shower electrode 20 is formed by the first discharge face 22a and the second discharge face 22b, wherein, this first discharge face 22a is formed as moving closer to the distance of reel along with towards downstream side, second discharge face 22b is formed as fixing with prescribed value with the distance of reel 30, thus the distance (gap) between shower electrode 20 and reel 30 changes as follows on the throughput direction of substrate Z, namely, maximum at the upstream side of the throughput direction of substrate Z, diminish gradually along with towards downstream side, fix with minimum prescribed value in downstream side, thus when starting film forming, film forming is started with the first low plasma electron density, form the mineral membrane of the thickness of regulation in masking during, plasma electron density is changed to the second plasma electron density, afterwards, identical mineral membrane is formed with the second plasma electron density masking, thus masking forms the mineral membrane as the thickness of target.
Thus, when starting film forming, the layer of the state that the material (composition of mineral membrane) of the organic materials and mineral membrane being formed with substrate surface can be made by the energy of plasma body to mix is (following, be called " mixolimnion ") lower thickness, and the mineral membrane formed on the upper strata of mixolimnion can be made to be formed as sufficient thickness.In addition, due to mineral membrane can be formed, therefore, it is possible to masking forms densification and has good high performance mineral membrane with the second plasma electron density masking that can obtain high performance.And, on the throughput direction of substrate Z, plasma electron density is controlled by the distance changed between shower electrode 20 and reel 30, even if be therefore roll-to-roll film deposition system, also plasma electron density can be made to change continuously, the clear and definite interface produced when changing filming condition can not be formed, and can prevent from touching bad etc. generation.Further, owing to not needing that electrode separation is become multiple, therefore film-forming region can not diminish, and productivity can not reduce.
At this, in the present embodiment, the size in the second gap is not particularly limited, and suitably can determine according to the kind, yield polymer films, the thickness of mineral membrane, the performance (characteristic) of requirement etc. of the reactant gases of the kind (composition) of the mineral membrane formed, use.
Further, the size in the first gap is also not particularly limited, but is preferably the gap of 1.1 ~ 1.5 times in the second gap.
Above-mentioned condition is met by making the first gap and the second gap, thus the inhibition of mixolimnion can be improved further, masking can form finer and close mineral membrane (consequently, thickness can be made) thinning, and the function of the mineral membrane of per unit thickness can be improved further (consequently, can make thickness thinning), thus photoabsorption in visible light region, can reduce in noise etc. and obtain preferred result.
In addition, the length of the first discharge face 22a on the throughput direction of substrate Z is not particularly limited, and suitably can determine according to the kind of the reactant gases of the kind (composition) of the mineral membrane formed, use, yield polymer films, the thickness of mineral membrane, the performance (characteristic) etc. of requirement.It should be noted that, the length of the first discharge face 22a is preferably 10 ~ 40% of the length of the discharge face 22 on the throughput direction of substrate Z.By the length of the first discharge face 22a is formed as this scope, the formation of mixolimnion can be suppressed more reliably.
Or the mode that can be 2 ~ 10nm with the thickness of the mineral membrane in the region film forming corresponding with the first discharge face 22a determines the length of the first discharge face 22a.
At this, the shape of the first discharge face 22a is the curved surface that the distance of the first discharge face 22a and reel is closely formed gradually point-blank, but is not limited to this, can be formed by plane, or for combining the face that multiple curved surface and plane obtain, the region fixing with the distance of reel can also be had.In addition, smoothly, namely preferred discharge face is not formed with having bend.
Fig. 4 (A) ~ (C) is the schematic diagram that another example of the shower electrode implementing to use in the film deposition system of the manufacture method of functional film of the present invention and a part for reel are amplified and illustrated.It should be noted that, shower electrode 100,110 and 120 shown in Fig. 4 (A) ~ (C) has except discharge face 102 except replacing the discharge face 22 in the shower electrode 20 shown in Fig. 3, there is the structure identical with the shower electrode 20 shown in Fig. 3, therefore mark identical symbol at identical position, the following description is mainly carried out different positions.
The discharge face 102 of the shower electrode 100 shown in Fig. 4 (A) has the first discharge face 102 awith the second discharge face 22b.
First discharge face 102a be on the throughput direction of substrate Z along with from upstream-most position towards downstream side to the plane that the direction close to reel 30 tilts, and to be connected with the second discharge face 22b.
Like this, even if when forming the first discharge face by plane, when starting film forming, also film forming can be started with the first low plasma electron density, form the mineral membrane of the thickness of regulation in masking during, also plasma electron density can be changed to the second plasma electron density, therefore, it is possible to suppress the formation of mixolimnion, thus finer and close mineral membrane can be formed.Further, the clear and definite interface produced when changing filming condition can not be formed, can prevent from touching bad etc. generation.
The discharge face 112 of the shower electrode 110 shown in Fig. 4 (B) has the first discharge face 112a and the second discharge face 22b.
First discharge face 112a there is upstream side on the throughput direction of substrate Z with the curved surface that to direction point-blank close to reel 30 tilt of reel 30 apart from fixing curved surface and downstream side.That is, discharge face 112 is maximum in the region of the regulation from upstream-most position with the gap of reel 30, reduces gradually along with towards downstream side, minimum in the region of the regulation of most downstream side.
Like this, by multiple Surface forming first discharge face 112a, and when there is the curved surface fixed with the gap of reel, when starting film forming, also film forming can be started with the first low plasma electron density, form the mineral membrane of the thickness of regulation in masking during, also plasma electron density the second plasma electron density can be changed to, therefore, it is possible to suppress the formation of mixolimnion, finer and close mineral membrane can be formed.Further, the clear and definite interface produced when changing filming condition can not be formed, can prevent from touching bad etc. generation.
The discharge face 122 of the shower electrode 120 shown in Fig. 4 (C) has the first discharge face 122a and the second discharge face 22b.

If the discharge face of shower electrode has bend, then when film forming, discharge and to concentrate at bend, the formation of plasma body becomes unstable, possibly cannot carry out stable film forming.On the other hand, as shown in shower electrode 120, by discharge face being formed as the level and smooth face without bend, thus can prevent when film forming electric discharge from concentrating at bend, suitably can carry out film forming.
In addition, the shape of discharge face 22 is formed as the structure with the second discharge face 22b fixed with minimum value with the gap of reel 30, but the present invention is not limited to this, can be whole the shape close to reel 30 of discharge face 22 in the conveying side of substrate Z.But, there is the structure of the second discharge face 22b fixed with minimum value with the gap of reel 30 when carrying out the film forming of mineral membrane, fine and close mineral membrane can be formed on the upper strata of mixolimnion with sufficient thickness with the filming condition be more suitable for, therefore preferably.
In addition, in illustrated example, the shape of discharge face 22 is formed as becoming minimum shape in the position, most downstream of the throughput direction of substrate Z and the gap of reel 30, but the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the gap of the reel 30 of the upstream-most position of substrate Z and shower electrode 20 than reel 30 and the shower electrode of most downstream position gap greatly, can be formed as becoming minimum shape with the gap of reel beyond position, most downstream.Such as, when the thickness direction making the physicals of mineral membrane 82 along mineral membrane 82 changes, reel 30 can be made to change with the gap of shower electrode 20, and beyond position, most downstream, make gap become minimum.
In addition, the shape of discharge face 22 is formed as the structure gradually changed with the gap of reel 30, but is not limited to this, and the gap that also can be formed as reel 30 and shower electrode (discharge face) is (stage ground) structure of changing discretely.But when the gap making reel 30 with shower electrode (discharge face) changes discretely, filming condition changes sharp, and therefore the characteristic of the mineral membrane of film forming sharply changes and may form interface.On the other hand, by making discharge face 22 gradually change with the gap of reel 30, thus filming condition can not sharply change, therefore, it is possible to prevent from forming interface, can prevent from touching bad etc. generation.
