When making vacuum casting 10 with above-mentioned vaccum processor 100, prebasal plate 2 and metacoxal plate 4 are placed in the chamber 101 of packing into, and this cavity is evacuated, and substrate is delivered to baking and electron beam cleaning chambers 102.In baking and electron beam cleaning chambers 102, substrate 2 and 4 is heated to about 400 degrees centigrade with other parts (comprising each assembly on the substrate), remove the surface adsorption gas on each substrate, and clean the whole surface of phosphor screen and electronic emission element by the deflection scanning of electron beam.
In the bake process in baking and electron beam cleaning chambers 102, substrate is heated to about 400 degrees centigrade, so that do not produce undesired gas in the processing procedure, and drain surface adsorption gas.In this heat treatment process, especially in the step of baking metacoxal plate 4, used heater shown in Figure 4.Promptly, as mentioned above, thereby because directly over sark 8, apply radiant heat energy heating metacoxal plate 4, so can prevent to stand in lamellar sark 8 on the metacoxal plate 4 from its side quick receiver radiation heat energy, thereby and prevent to occur between metacoxal plate 4 and the sark 8 great temperature difference and make sark 8 distortion and crooked.In addition, the scope that applies of the radiant heat energy of reflector 42 control reflection directions and heater 41, so metacoxal plate 4 and be not just can not produce great temperature difference between the sark below heater 41 8 just looks like that sark 8 just is positioned at below the heater 41 like that.
After the degasification, prebasal plate 2 and metacoxal plate 4 are sent to the cooling chamber 103 with feature of the present invention, are cooled to about 120 degrees centigrade there in baking and electron beam cleaning chambers 102.Cooled prebasal plate 2 and metacoxal plate 4 are sent to breathing film evaporation chamber 104, wherein form the barium film as breathing film on the fluorescence coating outside.Next substrate is sent to assembling chamber 105, wherein makes the indium fusion as seal member seal these substrates by starting power supply 120, thereby forms vacuum casting.Vacuum casting after the sealing is sent to cooling chamber 106, and cool to room temperature takes out from take out chamber 107 again.By said process, made the vacuum casting 10 of SED.
As mentioned above, in metacoxal plate 4 heating processes, heat metacoxal plate 4 by directly over sark 8, applying radiant heat energy, can prevent the lamellar sark 8 that standing on the metacoxal plate 4 from its side direct absorbed radiation heat energy and being heated rapidly.This has solved sark 8 distortion and the crooked problem that is caused because of great temperature difference between metacoxal plate 4 and the sark 8.In addition, the scope that applies of the radiant heat energy of reflector 42 control reflection directions and heater 41, so metacoxal plate 4 and be not just can not produce great temperature difference between the sark below heater 41 8 just looks like that sark 8 just is positioned at below the heater 41 like that.This has controlled the heating process of metacoxal plate 4 effectively.
In above-mentioned each embodiment, the lamp heater is used as the sark heater.But heater is not limited to the lamp heater.Can use as other heating elements such as tungsten or titanium heating wires and quartz heaters.The position of sark and heater is not limited to those among the embodiment.For example, they can be provided with by one to one.Substrate configuration and production line are not limited to those shown in the embodiment.Under the situation that does not deviate from inner characteristic of the present invention, can modify them.
Next, explain cooling procedure of the present invention in detail with reference to Fig. 7 to 12.
In the cooling procedure after above-mentioned bake process, if forcibly make metacoxal plate 4 coolings in a short period of time with cooling devices such as coldplates, then sark 8 is cooled rapidly, because compare the thermal capacity of sark 8 with metacoxal plate 4 minimum, and very big temperature difference has appearred between sark 8 and metacoxal plate 4.As a result, sark 8 may come off from metacoxal plate 4, is perhaps damaged, and output also greatly reduces.
In order to prevent the appearance of this problem, as shown in figure 12, by serviceability temperature control device and heater, the temperature of control sark 8 in the refrigerating gas in cooling chamber 103, thus can not make the sark 8 of the device cooling of being cooled and the temperature difference between the metacoxal plate 4 increase to the degree that makes sark 8 come off or damage.Device shown in Figure 12 is with shown in Figure 6 identical.
