Embodiment
Fig. 1 show in cross section the local of the application chamber according to the first embodiment of the present invention.The application chamber of the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 comprises the locular wall 10 only can seeing part.According to sectional view, locular wall 10 is divided into chamber wall portion 10a and lower chamber wall portion 10b.Chamber wall portion 10a and 10b defines the opening closed by cap 9.At cap 9, place arranges coating source 8, such as, for the portable magnetron negative electrode of sputtering sedimentation.Owing to removably arranging cap 9, so can easily exchange coating source 8.
Relative with coating source 8, the substrate 1 be contained on substrate support 2 can be set via transmitting device 5.
According to sectional view, substrate support 2 is depicted as two part 2a and 2b.But, will be understood that substrate support can be formed as around framework or tabular receptor.Also other embodiments for carrier substrate can be expected.
Transmitting device 5 for supporting also moving substrate support 2 comprises guide arrangement 6 and driving mechanism 13.Guide arrangement 6 comprises guide rail 24 and lower backing roll 15,16.The area supported of supporting roll 15,16 comprises periphery depression, to be meshed with the sliding members 19 of the lower end being arranged on substrate support 2.
As shown in Figure 1, guide arrangement comprises two supporting rolls 15,16 and is set to the guide rail 24 of dual boot rail, and dual boot rail comprises two engaging channel 26 and 27 of the upper end 28 for receiving substrate support.Therefore, guide rail 24 is designed to the profile with E cross-sectional shape.
The upper end 28 of substrate support 2 is engaged in the one in engaging channel 26 and 27.In FIG, substrate support 2 is depicted as and is meshed with the engaging channel 26 of guide rail 24, and engaging channel 27 is not used.
In order to provide contactless guiding, magnet 25 is arranged on the side-walls of engaging channel 26 and 27, keeps the upper end of substrate support 2 to be meshed with engaging channel 26,27 in the position of the sidewall certain distance of distance engaging channel 26,27 to make it.Due to like this, substrate support 2 also can comprise suitable magnet or can be made up of suitable material.
In the embodiment in figure 1, substrate support 2 is supported by supporting roll 16 and is engaged in the engaging channel 26 of guide rail 24.But, second substrate support (not shown) can be arranged on the second supporting roll 16 place and be arranged in engaging channel 27, to make except the first transmission route except being limited by supporting roll 16 and engaging channel 26, limit the second parallel transmission path by supporting roll 15 and engaging channel 27.
Supporting roll 15 and 16 is arranged on the rotatable spindle 14 that driven by driving roll, and wherein driving roll 13 is connected to electric motor (not shown).Therefore, when driving roll 13 rotates, supporting roll 15,16 is also driven by rotatable shaft, with the mobile substrate support 2 be arranged on supporting roll 15,16.
