A kind of sputter shaped device of conductive film
Technical field
The present invention relates to the molding device of conductive film, specifically a kind of sputter shaped device of conductive film.
Background technology
Conductive film be a kind ofly be widely used at present flat pannel display, screen formula touch technology, solar panel, solar control film, the material of the numerous areas such as defrosting glass, ice glass, anti-static coating that prevent from hazing.Structure is that the one side at film substrate is attached with transparency conducting layer, adheres to conductive layer and can adopt the technique means such as sputter, pulsed laser deposition, vacuum evaporation, chemical vapour deposition, sol-gel method to realize.
The sputtering process of conductive film, at vacuum state, be filled with under the environment of rare gas element exactly, add high voltage direct current between plastic film base material (anode) and metal targets (negative electrode), the electron excitation rare gas element produced by glow discharge, produce plasma body the atom of metal targets is driven out of, be deposited on film substrate.Metal targets (negative electrode) can adopt the ITO(tin indium oxide), IGZO(Indium sesquioxide gallium zinc), ITiO(Indium sesquioxide titanium), the AZO(aluminum zinc oxide), ZnO(zinc oxide) in a kind of.
The sputter molding device of conductive film, just like the environment division in No. TW201250027A1st, Taiwan patent application, be vacuum sealing indoor be disposed with unreel chamber, sputter preheats chamber, the first sputtering chamber, the second sputtering chamber, rolling chamber, respectively be provided with the thin transmission roller of film in the first sputtering chamber and the second sputtering chamber, the outside of transmitting roller at film respectively is distributed with several metal targets negative electrodes, and the thin transmission of film that sputter preheats process is had tension force to transmit by some guide rollers.
Generally need to heat-treat (or claiming annealing) after the moulding of conductive film sputter, the one, for the transparency conducting layer that impels conductive film forms crystallization, to improve the work-ing life of conductive film; The 2nd, allow conductive film carry out thermal contraction in advance, avoid using there will be thermal contraction in the future.When the conductive film that entire volume is transmitted is heat-treated, if existing, the heat-processed of conductive film transmits tension force, the conductive film distortion that will be stretched, used and also can easily produce the thermal contraction phenomenon in the future, while transmitting overtension, also can cause transparency conducting layer to break.
Equipment for Heating Processing after the moulding of conductive film sputter, just like the environment division in No. TW201221363A1st, Taiwan patent application, is a technical scheme that can reduce the transmission tension force of conductive film heat-processed.Its heating unit adopts the Hot-blast Heating mode, be provided with the hot blast nozzle of a plurality of top-bottom cross to blowing in heating unit, conductive film do horizontal transmission when the process furnace because the air blast of hot blast nozzle top-bottom cross forms suspended state, thereby reduced the transmission tension force of heat-processed.It is not bery even that but heat-processed also can form some tension and the tension force of conductive film the conductive film air blast, so the heats of this elimination tension force is not good.
The shortcoming of using above-mentioned prior art to exist: the one, the equipment for Heating Processing after sputter molding device and sputter moulding is respectively independent means, causes whole conductive film production process longer, and production cost is higher, and the hold facility place is more; The 2nd, still there is certain transmission tension force in the conductive film heat treatment process, can cause conductive film to be stretched and be out of shape and easily generation thermal contraction of use in the future; The 3rd, the thin transmission of the pre-warmed film of sputter is to have tension force to transmit, and can cause conductive film to be stretched distortion and affects the sputter Forming Quality of conductive film; The 4th, several metal targets negative electrodes that are distributed in the film transmission roller outside are not separated, and can cause the sputter homogeneity poor.
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of sputter shaped device of improved conductive film, so that the whole conductive film production process that overcomes prior art is long, production cost is higher, the hold facility place is more and still there is certain transmission tension force in the conductive film heat treatment process, can cause be stretched distortion and in the future use the defect that easily produces thermal contraction of conductive film.Other purpose of the present invention is further improvement, with the thin transmission of the pre-warmed film of the sputter that overcomes prior art, is to have tension force to transmit, and causes conductive film to be stretched distortion and affects sputter Forming Quality and the inhomogeneity defect of sputter of conductive film.
