Description

Deposition apparatus and method of manufacturing display apparatus using the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a deposition apparatus and a method of manufacturing a display apparatus using the same.
Background
Among light-emitting display devices, organic light-emitting display devices have been attracting attention as a next-generation display device because they have advantages of a wide viewing angle, excellent contrast, and a high response speed as a self-light-emitting display element.
An organic light-emitting display device includes a light-emitting layer composed of an organic light-emitting substance between an anode and a cathode. As anode and cathode voltages are applied to these electrodes, respectively, holes (holes) injected from the anode move to the light-emitting layer via the hole injection layer and the hole transport layer, and electrons move from the cathode electrode to the light-emitting layer via the electron injection layer and the electron transport layer, so that electrons and holes recombine in the light-emitting layer. Excitons (exiton) are generated by such recombination, and light is emitted from the light emitting layer as the excitons transition from an excited state to a ground state, thereby displaying an image.
An organic light emitting display device includes a pixel defining film having an opening portion to expose an anode formed in a unit of a pixel, and a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and a cathode are formed on the anode exposed through the opening portion of the pixel defining film. Among them, the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the light emitting layer, the electron transport layer, and the electron injection layer may be formed by various methods, one of which is a deposition method. As the deposition method, there are an FMM deposition method in which deposition is performed in a state where a Fine Metal Mask (FMM) having the same size as a substrate is closely attached to the substrate, and an SMS (Small Mask Scanning) deposition method in which deposition is performed while moving the substrate or a deposition source in a state where a Mask having a size smaller than the size of the substrate is spaced apart from the substrate, and the like.
Disclosure of Invention
In one aspect, when a deposition process is performed on a large-sized substrate by the FMM deposition method, a fine metal mask having the same size as that of the large-sized substrate is used. However, since the fine metal mask has a large size, a bending phenomenon due to the self weight of the fine metal mask may occur in the deposition process. Such a bending phenomenon may distort a pattern of a thin film formed by depositing a deposition substance.
In addition, when a deposition process is performed on a large-sized substrate by the SMS deposition method, a small-sized mask having a size smaller than that of the large-sized substrate is used. However, the size of the small mask itself used in the deposition process of the large substrate is not too small. Thus, a bowing phenomenon may occur due to the self weight of the small mask, and it may be difficult to uniformly maintain the separation distance between the small mask and the large substrate. The non-uniformity of the separation distance between the small mask and the large substrate may distort the pattern of the thin film formed by depositing the deposition substance.
In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a deposition apparatus capable of reducing distortion occurring in a thin film pattern when forming a thin film on a large-sized substrate.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in various forms different from each other, and these embodiments are provided only for the purpose of completeness of disclosure of the present invention and to inform those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains of the full scope of the present invention, and the present invention is defined only by the scope of the claims.
When an element or layer is referred to as being "on" another element or layer, it can be directly on the other element or layer or intervening layers or other elements may be present. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.
It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. are used to describe various components, these components are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one constituent element from other constituent elements. Therefore, it should be clear that the first constituent element mentioned hereinafter may also be referred to as the second constituent element without departing from the technical idea of the present invention.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a system structural view schematically illustrating a deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, a deposition apparatus 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a loading part 100, a deposition part 300, and an unloading part 400.
The loading part 100 is configured to load a plurality of substrates S before deposition of a deposition substance is performed. Any one of the plurality of substrates S stacked on the loading part 100 may be supported by a carrier C such as an electrostatic chuck and moved to the deposition part 300 via a moving space MS. The carrier C is movable along a first direction X of fig. 1 and a second direction Y intersecting the first direction X. The substrate S may be a substrate for a display device, and may be applied to a large-area substrate such as mother glass (mother glass) defined with a plurality of substrate regions for forming a plurality of display devices. Although eight quadrangles indicated by dotted lines on the substrate S in fig. 1 indicate eight substrate regions where a display device is to be formed, the substrate S is not limited by such a number.
The deposition part 300 is configured to be capable of performing a process of depositing a deposition substance onto the substrate S. The deposition part 300 includes at least one deposition chamber, and for example, may include a first deposition chamber 310, a second deposition chamber 320, a third deposition chamber 330, a fourth deposition chamber 340, a fifth deposition chamber 350, a sixth deposition chamber 360, and a seventh deposition chamber 370 arranged along the first direction X. The first, sixth, and seventh deposition chambers 310, 360, and 370 may be deposition chambers for forming a common layer, and the second, third, fourth, and fifth deposition chambers 320, 330, 340, and 350 may be deposition chambers for forming a pattern layer, wherein the common layer is a thin film formed by depositing a deposition substance onto the substrate S without an additional pattern structure, and the pattern layer is a thin film formed by depositing a deposition substance onto the substrate S with a specific pattern. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The deposition part 300 will be described in detail below.
The unloading section 400 is configured to separate the substrate S having passed through the deposition section 300 from the carrier C and to stack the substrate S separated from the carrier C. The substrate S stacked in the unloading section 400 may be in a standby state for performing other processes.
Next, the deposition part 300 will be described in detail by taking the first deposition chamber 310 and the third deposition chamber 330 as examples.
Fig. 2 is a plan view schematically illustrating the first deposition chamber of fig. 1, fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the open mask assembly of fig. 2, fig. 4 is a perspective view schematically illustrating an internal structure of the first deposition chamber of fig. 2, and fig. 5 is a sectional view schematically illustrating the internal structure of the first deposition chamber of fig. 2.
Referring to fig. 2 to 5, the first deposition chamber 310 provides a space for depositing a deposition substance onto the substrate S to form a common layer. The first deposition chamber 310 may maintain a vacuum state while depositing deposition substances onto the substrate S. The interior of the first deposition chamber 310 may be disposed with the open mask assembly OMA and the deposition source 312.
The open mask assembly OMA, which is a member closely attached to the substrate S introduced into the interior of the first deposition chamber 310 using the carrier C, may include an open mask OM and a frame FR. The open mask OM may be formed in a ring shape defining an opening corresponding to all of a plurality of substrate regions where a plurality of display devices are to be formed in the substrate S. The frame FR as a member supporting the open mask OM may have a shape corresponding to the open mask OM. The close contact of the open mask assembly OMA with the substrate S may be achieved by combining the carrier C with the frame FR in a state where the substrate S is arranged over the open mask OM. The coupling of the carrier C and the frame FR may be achieved by a physical method using bolts and nuts, a method using magnetism, or the like.
Such an open mask assembly OMA including the open mask OM and the frame FR can prevent deposition substances from leaking to unnecessary areas when forming a common layer of an unpatterned structure on the substrate S. In addition, a mask stage ST1 supporting the open mask assembly OMA may be disposed under the open mask assembly OMA.
The deposition source 312, which is a member that discharges the deposition substance 317 toward the substrate S side against which the open mask assembly OMA is in close contact, includes a crucible 315 filled with the deposition substance 317 inside, a heater 316 arranged to cover the crucible 315 and heat the crucible 315 to vaporize the deposition substance 317, and a nozzle portion 314 arranged above the crucible 315 and having a deposition source nozzle 318 toward the substrate S side.
Such a deposition source 312 is capable of discharging the vaporized deposition substance to the substrate S side while moving in the second direction Y under the substrate S in close contact with the open mask assembly OMA. Thereby, a common layer having an unpatterned structure can be formed over the entire substrate S. For example, in the case where the substrate S is a substrate for a light-emitting display device, the hole injection layer (30 of fig. 17) may be formed on the entire surface of the pixel defining film (20 of fig. 17) independently of the pixel, wherein the pixel defining film is formed on the substrate S.
Fig. 6 is a plan view schematically illustrating the third deposition chamber of fig. 1, fig. 7 is a perspective view of the first pattern mask assembly of fig. 6, fig. 8 is an enlarged view of a portion "a" of fig. 7, fig. 9 is a perspective view schematically illustrating an internal structure of the third deposition chamber of fig. 6, and fig. 10 is a sectional view schematically illustrating an internal structure of the third deposition chamber of fig. 6.
Referring to fig. 6 to 10, the third deposition chamber 330 provides a space for depositing a deposition substance onto the substrate S to form a pattern layer. The third deposition chamber 330 may maintain a vacuum state while depositing deposition substances onto the substrate S. The third deposition chamber 330 may include a first chamber 331 and a second chamber 332. In addition, the third deposition chamber 330 may include a third chamber 333.
The first chamber 331 provides a space for depositing a deposition substance onto at least one of substrate areas S1 to S8 of the substrate S on which a plurality of display devices are to be formed to form a pattern layer. For this, a case where the first chamber 331 includes the first area DA1 and the second area DA2 is illustrated in fig. 6.
The first and second areas DA1 and DA2 may be arranged along a direction (i.e., the first direction X) intersecting a moving direction of the first deposition source 335, which will be described later. The first area DA1 may be an area overlapping with substrate areas S1, S2, S5, S6 where deposition substances are to be deposited among the substrates S introduced into the first chamber 331, and the second area DA2 may be an area overlapping with substrate areas S3, S4, S7, S8 where deposition substances are not to be deposited among the substrates S introduced into the first chamber 331. Here, in the case where the first region DA1 is plural and the second region DA2 is plural, the second region DA2 may be arranged to be between two first regions DA 1.
The first chamber 331 may maintain a vacuum state while depositing the deposition substance 335c onto the substrate S. The interior of the first chamber 331 may be arranged with a first pattern mask assembly PMA1 and a deposition source 335.
The first pattern mask assembly PMA1 is arranged at the first area DA1 of the first chamber 331 and is proximate to a substrate area S1, S2, S5, S6 overlapping the first area DA1 of the first chamber 331, among the substrates S introduced into the interior of the first chamber 331 with the carrier C. The first pattern mask assembly PMA1 may comprise a first pattern mask PM1 and a first frame FR 1.
The first pattern mask PM1 may be configured to include a plurality of metal plates (e.g., a plurality of stripe-shaped bodies) including deposition openings SP corresponding to pixels located in the substrate regions S1, S2, S5, S6 overlapping the first region DA1 of the first chamber 331 in the substrate S. The deposition openings SP may be arranged to correspond to red pixels R, on which a red light emitting layer is to be formed, to form a pattern layer (e.g., a red light emitting layer) in substrate regions S1, S2, S5, S6 overlapping the first region DA1 of the first chamber 331 in the substrate S.
The first frame FR1, which is a member supporting the first pattern mask PM1, may have a frame opening OP exposing the deposition opening SP of the first pattern mask PM 1. When two substrate regions S1, S2 of the substrate S overlapping one first region DA1 of the first chamber 331 are present, the frame opening OP of the first frame FR1 may be present in two, and at this time, the first frame FR1 may include an edge portion T having a ring shape and a dividing portion D connecting mutually opposite sides of the edge portion T to define the two openings OP. The close contact of the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 and the substrate S may be achieved by bonding the carrier C to the first frame FR1 in a state where the substrate S is arranged above the first pattern mask PM 1. The coupling of the carrier C with the first frame FR1 may be achieved by a physical method using bolts and nuts, or a method using magnetism, or the like.
Such a first pattern mask assembly PMA1 including the first pattern mask PM1 and the first frame FR1 enables a pattern layer to be formed at a specific portion of the substrate regions S1, S2, S5, S6 overlapping the first region DA1 of the first chamber 331 in the substrate S, for example, a red light emitting layer is formed at a red pixel R in a light emitting display device, while discharging deposition substances toward the substrate S side through the first deposition source 335. In addition, in the first direction X, the length of the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 may be less than the length of the first deposition source 335. In several embodiments, the length of the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 may also be larger than the length of the first deposition source 335 in the first direction X.
The first deposition source 335, which is a means for discharging the deposition substance 335c toward the substrate S side in close contact with the first pattern mask assembly PMA1, includes a crucible 335a filled with the deposition substance 335c inside, a heater 335b arranged to coat the crucible 335a and heat the crucible 335a to vaporize the deposition substance 335c, and a nozzle portion 335d arranged above the crucible 335a and having the deposition source nozzle 335e toward the substrate S side.
Such a first deposition source 335 is capable of discharging the vaporized deposition substance 335c toward the substrate S side while moving in the second direction Y under the substrate S in close contact with the first pattern mask assembly PMA 1. Thereby, it is possible to form a pattern layer at a specific portion of the substrate regions S1, S2, S5, S6 overlapping the first region DA1 of the first chamber 331 in the substrate S. For example, the red light emitting layer (50 of fig. 17) may be formed in the opening portion 21 corresponding to the red pixel among the opening portions 21 of the pixel defining film (20 of fig. 17) formed on the substrate 5 of the light emitting display device.
In addition, a baffle 337 may be disposed in the second area DA2 of the first chamber 331 to prevent deposition of the deposition substance 335c into substrate areas S3, S4, S7, S8 of the substrates S overlapping the second area DA2 of the first chamber 331. The form of the baffle 337 is not limited to that illustrated in fig. 9.
The second chamber 332 provides a space for depositing a deposition substance into the remaining substrate regions S3, S4, S7, S8 except the substrate regions S1, S2, S5, S6 where the pattern layer is formed in the first chamber 331, among the substrate regions S1 to S8 where a plurality of display devices are to be formed in the substrate S, to form the pattern layer. For this, a case where the second chamber 332 includes the first area DA1 and the second area DA2 is illustrated in fig. 6. The first and second regions DA1 and DA2 of the second chamber 332 may be differentiated in the same manner as the first and second regions DA1 and DA2 of the first chamber 331.
That is, the first and second areas DA1 and DA2 of the second chamber 332 can be aligned in a direction (i.e., the first direction X) intersecting a moving direction of the second deposition source 336 to be described later. The first area DA1 of the second chamber 332 may be an area overlapping with substrate areas S1, S2, S5, S6 where deposition substances are not deposited among the substrates S introduced into the second chamber 332, and the second area DA2 may be an area overlapping with substrate areas S3, S4, S7, S8 where deposition substances are to be deposited among the substrates S introduced into the second chamber 332. Here, in the case where the first region DA1 is plural and the second region DA2 is plural, the second region DA2 may be arranged to be between two first regions DA 1.
The second chamber 332 may maintain a vacuum state while depositing a deposition substance onto the substrate S. The interior of the second chamber 332 may have the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 and the deposition source 336 disposed therein.
The second pattern mask assembly PMA2 is configured similarly to the first pattern mask assembly PMA 1. However, the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 is disposed in the second region DA2 of the second chamber 332 and is in close contact with the substrate regions S3, S4, S7, S8 overlapping with the second region DA2 of the second chamber 332 among the substrates S introduced into the interior of the second chamber 332 with the carrier C.
Such a second pattern mask assembly PMA2 may cause a pattern layer to be formed at a specific portion of the substrate regions S3, S4, S7, S8 overlapping the second region DA2 of the second chamber 332 in the substrate S, for example, at a red pixel in a light emitting display device, when the deposition substance is discharged toward the substrate S side by the second deposition source 336.
The second deposition source 336 is configured identically to the first deposition source 335. However, the second deposition source 336 may be configured to discharge the deposition substance 335c after discharging the deposition substance using the first deposition source 335. The deposition substance of the second deposition source 336 may be the same as the deposition substance 335c of the first deposition source 335. The second deposition source 336 is capable of discharging the vaporized deposition substance toward the substrate S side while moving in the second direction Y under the substrate S in close proximity to the second pattern mask assembly PMA 2. Thereby, it is possible to form a pattern layer at a specific portion of the substrate regions S3, S4, S7, S8 overlapping the second region DA2 of the second chamber 332 in the substrate S. For example, a red light-emitting layer (50 of fig. 17) may be formed in an opening portion 21 corresponding to a red pixel among opening portions 21 of a pixel defining film (20 of fig. 17) formed on a substrate S4 of a light-emitting display device. In addition, in the first direction X, the length of the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 may be less than the length of the second deposition source 336. In several embodiments, the length of the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 may also be larger than the length of the second deposition source 336 in the first direction X.
A baffle (337 of fig. 9) may be disposed in the first area DA1 of the second chamber 332 to prevent deposition of deposition species into substrate areas S1, S2, S5, S6 of the substrates S that overlap the first area DA1 of the second chamber 332.
The third chamber 333 is configured to be able to provide an exchange mask assembly SPMA having the same size and pattern as the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 or the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 when replacement of the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 or the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 is required.
As described above, without affecting the arrangement of the first and second pattern mask assemblies PMA1 and PMA2 having a size smaller than that of the substrate S, and in a state where the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 and the substrate S are closely attached and the second pattern mask assembly PMA2 and the substrate S are closely attached, pattern layers arranged in substrate regions S1 to S8, which are defined in the substrate S and in which a plurality of display devices are to be formed, are formed by the first and second chambers 331 and 332 using deposition of a deposition substance, and therefore, it is possible to reduce a situation in which a pattern layer formed on the substrate S is distorted due to a bending phenomenon caused by the self weight of a mask in the FMM mode, and it is possible to reduce a situation in which a pattern layer formed on the substrate S is distorted due to a phenomenon in which a separation distance between a mask and the substrate S is not uniform in the SMS mode.

The light emitting layer 50 illustrated in fig. 16 may be a red light emitting layer disposed at a red pixel.
Although not shown, the hole transport layer 40 is formed before the light-emitting layer 50 is formed in the same manner as the formation method of the light-emitting layer 50. In addition, the light emitting layer 50 has been described as the red light emitting layer in the foregoing, but may be a green light emitting layer disposed at a green pixel and a blue light emitting layer disposed at a blue pixel.

Next, a deposition apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Fig. 18 is a plan view schematically illustrating a third deposition chamber in a deposition apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, fig. 19 is a plan view illustrating a process of forming a pattern layer on a portion of a substrate corresponding to a first region of the first chamber within a first chamber of the third deposition chamber of fig. 18, and fig. 20 is a plan view illustrating a process of forming a pattern layer on a portion of a substrate corresponding to a second region of the second chamber within a second chamber of the third deposition chamber of fig. 18.
The deposition apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention is identical to the deposition apparatus 500 of fig. 1 except that the third deposition chamber 330a is different. Thus, in the deposition apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, only the third deposition chamber 330a will be described in detail.
Referring to fig. 18 to 20, the third deposition chamber 330a includes a first chamber 331a, a second chamber 332a, and a third chamber 333a, and is similar to the third deposition chamber 330 of fig. 6. However, the arrangement of the first and second regions DA11 and DA12 of the first and second chambers 331a and 332a, respectively, is different from the arrangement of the first and second regions DA1 and DA2 of the first and second chambers 331 and 332, respectively, of fig. 6.
Specifically, the first and second areas DA11 and DA12 of the first chamber 331a are arranged in a matrix form along the first and second directions X and Y, and are alternately arranged in both the first and second directions X and Y.
The first area DA11 of the first chamber 331a may be an area overlapping with substrate areas S2, S3, S6, S7 where deposition substances are to be deposited among the substrates S introduced into the first chamber 331a, and the second area DA12 may be an area overlapping with substrate areas S1, S4, S5, S8 where deposition substances are not to be deposited among the substrates S introduced into the first chamber 331 a.
The first and second regions DA11 and DA12 of the second chamber 332a may be differentiated in the same manner as the first and second regions DA11 and DA12 of the first chamber 331 a.
However, the first area DA11 of the second chamber 332a may be an area overlapping with the substrate areas S2, S3, S6, S7 where the deposition substance is not deposited among the substrates S introduced into the second chamber 332a, and the second area DA12 may be an area overlapping with the substrate areas S1, S4, S5, S8 where the deposition substance is to be deposited among the substrates S introduced into the second chamber 332 a.
Depending on the configuration of the first and second chambers 331a and 332b, the arrangement of the first pattern mask assembly PMA11 arranged inside the first chamber 331a and the arrangement of the second pattern mask assembly PMA12 arranged inside the second chamber 332a may be different.
The first pattern mask assembly PMA11 is disposed in the first area DA11 of the first chamber 331a and is proximate to the substrate areas S2, S3, S6, S7 overlapping with the first area DA11 of the first chamber 331a among the substrates S introduced into the interior of the first chamber 331a with the carrier (C of fig. 10). The first pattern mask assembly PMA11 is similar to the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 of fig. 7. However, the first pattern mask assembly PMA11 is in close proximity to one substrate area and therefore may be smaller than the size of the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 of fig. 7. At this time, the frame of the first pattern mask assembly PMA11 is different from the frame of the first pattern mask assembly PMA1 of fig. 7 and does not include a division portion.
Such a first pattern mask assembly PMA11 enables a pattern layer to be formed at a specific portion of the substrate regions S2, S3, S6, S7 overlapping the first region DA11 of the first chamber 331a in the substrate S, for example, a red light emitting layer is formed at a red pixel in a light emitting display device, while discharging deposition substances to the substrate S side through the first deposition source 335.
The second pattern mask assembly PMA12 is configured similarly to the first pattern mask assembly PMA 11. However, the second mask assembly PMA12 is arranged in the second area DA12 of the second chamber 332a and is brought into close proximity with the substrate areas S1, S4, S5, S8 overlapping with the second area DA12 of the second chamber 332a among the substrates S introduced into the interior of the second chamber 332a by the carrier (C of fig. 10).
Such a second pattern mask assembly PMA12 enables a pattern layer to be formed at a specific portion of the substrate regions S1, S4, S5, S8 overlapping the second region DA12 of the second chamber 332a in the substrate S, for example, at red pixels in a light emitting display device, while discharging deposition substances to the substrate S side through the second deposition source 336.
Third chamber 333a is similar to third chamber 333 of fig. 6. However, the third chamber 333a is internally provided with an exchange mask assembly SPMA1, wherein the exchange mask assembly SPMA1 has the same size and pattern as the first pattern mask assembly PMA11 or the second pattern mask assembly PMA 12.
As described above, without affecting the arrangement of the first and second pattern mask assemblies PMA11 and PMA12 having a size smaller than the substrate S, and in a state where the first pattern mask assembly PMA11 and the substrate S are closely attached and the second pattern mask assembly PMA12 and the substrate S are closely attached, the pattern layers arranged in the substrate regions S1 to S8, defined in the substrate S, in which a plurality of display devices are to be formed are formed by the first and second chambers 331a and 332a using deposition of deposition substances, and therefore, it is possible to reduce a case where the pattern layer formed on the substrate S is distorted due to a bending phenomenon caused by the self weight of the mask in the FMM mode, and it is possible to reduce a case where the pattern layer formed on the substrate S is distorted due to a phenomenon of a separation distance between the mask and the substrate S in the SMS mode.

Referring to fig. 21, a deposition apparatus 700 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a loading part 100, a first deposition part 300, an unloading part 400, and a second deposition part 600.
Since the loading section 100 and the unloading section 400 have been described above, a repetitive description is omitted. The first deposition part 300 is different from the deposition part 300 of fig. 1 only in terms, and thus a repetitive description is omitted.
The second deposition part 600 is configured corresponding to the first deposition part 300 to enable a process of depositing a deposition substance on another substrate other than the substrate S. That is, the deposition part 600 includes at least one deposition chamber, and for example, may include a first deposition chamber 610, a second deposition chamber 620, a third deposition chamber 630, a fourth deposition chamber 640, a fifth deposition chamber 650, a sixth deposition chamber 660, and a seventh deposition chamber 670, which are arranged along the first direction X.
The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh deposition chambers 610, 620, 630, 640, 650, 660, and 670 of the second deposition portion 600 may be opposite to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh deposition chambers 310, 320, 330, 340, 350, 360, and 370 of the first deposition portion 300 across the moving space MS.
The deposition apparatus 700 as described above includes two deposition parts 300 and 600 capable of performing deposition processes on a plurality of substrates at the same time. Thereby, the yield of the display device manufactured using the deposition apparatus 700 may be improved.
