本発明は上記のように構成されており、単位有機蒸着源に異なる有機蒸着材料を配置し、各単位有機蒸着源から有機蒸着材料の蒸気を放出させながら、搬送体を移動させれば、各単位有機蒸着源上を通過した後の基板表面には異なる種類の有機蒸着材料の層が積層される。各層の成膜は同じ有機成膜室内部で行われるので、有機薄膜の層間が汚染され難い。   The present invention is configured as described above, and by disposing different organic vapor deposition materials in the unit organic vapor deposition source and moving the carrier while releasing the vapor of the organic vapor deposition material from each unit organic vapor deposition source, Layers of different types of organic vapor deposition materials are stacked on the substrate surface after passing over the unit organic vapor deposition source. Since the layers are formed in the same organic film forming chamber, the layers of the organic thin film are hardly contaminated.

本発明の成膜装置では、搬送機構は複数の搬送体を同時に搬送可能になっており、搬送体は単位有機蒸着源が配置された成膜区間を順番に通過するようになっている。   In the film forming apparatus of the present invention, the transport mechanism is capable of transporting a plurality of transport bodies simultaneously, and the transport bodies sequentially pass through the film forming section where the unit organic vapor deposition source is arranged.

搬送体を成膜区間へ移動させる前に、搬送体を構成するマスクと基板とを位置合わせする必要があるが、その位置合わせに時間がかかると、成膜区間へ送る搬送体同士の間隔が広がってしまい、有機蒸着材料の蒸気が無駄になる。   Before moving the transport body to the film formation section, it is necessary to align the mask and the substrate constituting the transport body. However, if it takes time to align the distance between the transport bodies to be sent to the film formation section, It spreads and the vapor of the organic vapor deposition material is wasted.

上述した引用文献(特開2003−157973)のように、各色の発光層毎にマスクの位置合わせを行い、各色の発光層を基板上の別々の位置に成膜する場合には、高精細マスクが必要であり、そのアライメントに要求される精度は通常5μmと高いが、補色関係にある複数色の色を同じ位置に積層し、白色光を発生する膜状の白色発光体を形成する場合や、単色の光を発生する発光層を別々に成膜する場合には、マスクのアライメントに要求される精度は100μm単位と低く、従って、位置合わせに要する時間も高精細マスクを用いた場合に比べ短くてすむが、その場合であっても位置合わせに多少の時間はかかるため、搬送体の間隔が空いてしまうため、蒸気が無駄になってしまう。   As in the above cited reference (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-157793), in the case where the mask is aligned for each light emitting layer and the light emitting layer for each color is formed at a separate position on the substrate, a high-definition mask is used. The accuracy required for the alignment is usually as high as 5 μm. However, when multiple layers of complementary colors are stacked at the same position to form a white light emitter that generates white light, When the light emitting layer for generating monochromatic light is formed separately, the accuracy required for mask alignment is as low as 100 μm. Therefore, the time required for alignment is also shorter than when a high-definition mask is used. Even if it is short, it takes some time to align the position, so that the interval between the transport members is increased, and the steam is wasted.

成膜区間を通過するときの速度を遅くすれば、位置合わせに時間がかかったとしても搬送体の間隔を狭くすることができるが、成膜速度を通過するときの速度は、形成すべき有機薄膜の膜厚や、成膜速度で決定されるので、成膜速度を通過するときの速度を変えることは困難である。   If the speed when passing through the film formation section is slowed, the interval between the carriers can be narrowed even if it takes a long time for alignment. Since it is determined by the thickness of the thin film and the film formation speed, it is difficult to change the speed when passing the film formation speed.

本発明の成膜装置では、搬送機構で2つ以上の搬送体を同時に搬送する場合、各搬送体の移動速度が相互に可変になっている。基板とマスクとの位置合わせに時間がかった場合には、搬送体が緩衝区間を移動する速度を、成膜区間を移動するときの速度よりも早くすれば、搬送体が成膜区間へ到達するときに、その前を移動する搬送体との間隔が狭くすることができる。   In the film forming apparatus of the present invention, when two or more transport bodies are transported simultaneously by the transport mechanism, the moving speeds of the transport bodies are mutually variable. If it takes a long time to align the substrate and the mask, the carrier can reach the film forming section if the speed at which the transport body moves through the buffer section is faster than the speed at which the transport section moves through the film forming section. Sometimes, the distance between the carrier moving in front of it can be reduced.

また、移動開始位置と成膜区間との間の緩衝区間(第一の緩衝区間)とは別に、成膜区間と移動終了位置との間に第二の緩衝区間を設けておけば、移動終了位置へ運ばれた搬送体の基板をマスクから分離するときに時間がかかったとしても、一旦搬送体を第二の緩衝区間で溜めることができるので、成膜区間の出口で搬送体が停滞せず、成膜区間を所定速度で通過させることができる。   In addition to the buffer section (first buffer section) between the movement start position and the film formation section, if a second buffer section is provided between the film formation section and the movement end position, the movement is completed. Even if it takes time to separate the substrate of the transported body transported to the position from the mask, the transported body can be temporarily stored in the second buffer section, so that the transport body stagnates at the outlet of the film forming section. Instead, the film forming section can be passed at a predetermined speed.

本発明によれば、基板とマスクとの位置合わせに時間がかかったとしても、緩衝区間へ移動させる搬送体の搬送速度を、成膜区間を通過するときの速度よりも速くすることで、成膜区間を搬送体が通過する速度を遅くしなくても、成膜区間へ送られる搬送体の間隔を狭くすることが可能である。成膜区間を通過する搬送体の間隔を狭くすれば、基板に到達せず、無駄になる蒸気量が少なくなるので、有機蒸着材料の消費効率が高い。   According to the present invention, even if it takes time to align the substrate and the mask, the transfer speed of the transfer body moved to the buffer section is made faster than the speed when passing the film formation section. Even if the speed at which the carrier passes through the film section is not slowed, it is possible to reduce the interval between the carriers sent to the film forming section. If the interval between the transport bodies passing through the film forming section is narrowed, the amount of vapor that is not reached and is wasted is reduced, and the consumption efficiency of the organic vapor deposition material is high.

While observing with the CCD camera 65 disposed at the movement start position 51, the pin 46 is provided on the substrate 11 and the mask 40 (not shown). After the pins 46 are rotated or translated in a horizontal plane so that the alignment marks coincide with each other, the positions of the pins 46 are lowered, and when the pins 46 are lowered, the substrate 11a comes into close contact with the mask 40a at the correct position, and the transfer unit 33 It is put on.

基板11aが搬送ユニット33a上に載せられた状態の搬送体は、ロール32の回転によって上述したように移動開始位置51から移動終了位置55に向かって送られる。   The transport body in a state where the substrate 11 a is placed on the transport unit 33 a is sent from the movement start position 51 toward the movement end position 55 as described above by the rotation of the roll 32.

移動開始位置51から成膜区間53までの間には第一の緩衝区間52があり、成膜区間53と移動終了位置55との間には第二の緩衝区間54がある。図1、2の符号4b、4cは第一の緩衝区間52を移動する搬送体を示し、符号4d、4eは単位有機蒸着源41a〜41e上を通過する搬送体を示し、符号4f、4gは第二の緩衝区間54を移動する搬送体を示している。   There is a first buffer section 52 between the movement start position 51 and the film formation section 53, and there is a second buffer section 54 between the film formation section 53 and the movement end position 55. Reference numerals 4b and 4c in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate transport bodies that move in the first buffer section 52, reference numerals 4d and 4e indicate transport bodies that pass over the unit organic vapor deposition sources 41a to 41e, and reference numerals 4f and 4g respectively. The conveyance body which moves the 2nd buffering section 54 is shown.

移動開始位置51にある搬送体と、成膜区間53の最初の単位有機蒸着源41aとの間の水平方向の距離は、搬送体4b〜4gの移動方向の距離よりも大きくなっており、従って、第一の緩衝区間52の搬送体4b、4cの移動方向の長さは、搬送体4b、4cの移動方向の長さよりも大きくなっている。   The distance in the horizontal direction between the transport body at the movement start position 51 and the first unit organic vapor deposition source 41a in the film formation section 53 is larger than the distance in the travel direction of the transport bodies 4b to 4g. The length of the first buffer section 52 in the moving direction of the transport bodies 4b and 4c is longer than the length of the transport bodies 4b and 4c in the moving direction.

ロール32は個別に不図示のモータに接続され、各ロール32の回転速度は個別に制御可能になっており、搬送機構31により複数の搬送体4b〜4gを移動させる場合に、各搬送体4b〜4gの移動速度を変えることができる。   The rolls 32 are individually connected to a motor (not shown), and the rotation speed of each roll 32 can be individually controlled. When the transport mechanisms 31 move the transport bodies 4b to 4g, the transport bodies 4b The moving speed of ~ 4g can be changed.

例えば、基板11aとマスク40aとの位置合わせに時間がかかったとしても、搬送体4bを移動開始位置51から第一の緩衝区間52へ送るときの移動速度を早くすれば、搬送体4b、4c同士の間隔が第一の緩衝区間52を移動する間に狭くなるので、成膜区間53を通過する搬送体4d、4eの間隔が成膜なり、有機蒸着材料の蒸気が無駄にならない。   For example, even if it takes time to align the substrate 11a and the mask 40a, if the moving speed when the transport body 4b is sent from the movement start position 51 to the first buffer section 52 is increased, the transport bodies 4b and 4c. Since the distance between them becomes narrow while moving in the first buffer section 52, the distance between the transport bodies 4d and 4e passing through the film forming section 53 is formed, and the vapor of the organic vapor deposition material is not wasted.

また、移動終了位置55には上述した分離機構48のピン49が配置されており、搬送体は移動終了位置55に送られると一旦静止し、基板11hがピン49によって持ち上げられてマスク40hから分離される。   Further, the pin 49 of the separation mechanism 48 described above is disposed at the movement end position 55, and once the transport body is sent to the movement end position 55, it is stopped, and the substrate 11h is lifted by the pin 49 and separated from the mask 40h. Is done.

移動終了位置55にある搬送体と、成膜区間53の最後の単位有機蒸着源41eとの間の水平方向の距離は、搬送体4b〜4gの移動方向の距離よりも大きく、従って、第二の緩衝区間54の搬送体4b〜4gの移動方向の距離は、搬送体4b〜4gの移動方向の距離よりも大きくなっている。   The distance in the horizontal direction between the transport body at the movement end position 55 and the last unit organic vapor deposition source 41e in the film formation section 53 is larger than the distance in the travel direction of the transport bodies 4b to 4g. The distance in the moving direction of the transport bodies 4b to 4g in the buffer section 54 is larger than the distance in the moving direction of the transport bodies 4b to 4g.

搬送体4eを成膜区間53から第二の緩衝区間54へ送るときの速度を、成膜区間53を移動させるときの速度よりも早くすれば、搬送体4f、4gの間隔が第二の緩衝区間54を通過するまで大きくなる。例えば、基板11hをマスク40hから分離するのに時間を要する場合には、移動終了位置55に到達する前に搬送体4gの速度を落とせば、搬送体4g、4fの間隔が広い分、次の搬送体4fが移動終了位置55に到達するまでに時間がかかるので、搬送体4f、4gが成膜区間53の出口で停滞しない。従って、搬送体4eが成膜区間53を通過するときの移動速度を変えずに、成膜を行うことができる。   If the speed at which the transport body 4e is sent from the film forming section 53 to the second buffer section 54 is made faster than the speed at which the film forming section 53 is moved, the interval between the transport bodies 4f and 4g is set to the second buffer. It increases until it passes through the section 54. For example, when it takes time to separate the substrate 11h from the mask 40h, if the speed of the transport body 4g is reduced before reaching the movement end position 55, the next distance between the transport bodies 4g and 4f increases. Since it takes time for the transport body 4f to reach the movement end position 55, the transport bodies 4f and 4g do not stagnate at the exit of the film forming section 53. Therefore, film formation can be performed without changing the moving speed when the transport body 4e passes through the film formation section 53.

尚、搬入系統2は第一、第二の搬送室20、27を有しており、成膜装置1外部に配置された未処理の基板11は第一の搬送室20に接続された搬入室21a、21bに先ず搬入され、搬入室21a、21b内部で加熱により水分が除去された後、第一の搬送室20を介して冷却室23へ搬送され所定温度まで冷却される。   The carry-in system 2 has first and second transfer chambers 20 and 27, and an unprocessed substrate 11 arranged outside the film forming apparatus 1 is a carry-in chamber connected to the first transfer chamber 20. First, it is carried into 21a and 21b, and after moisture is removed by heating inside the carry-in chambers 21a and 21b, it is transported to the cooling chamber 23 via the first transport chamber 20 and cooled to a predetermined temperature.

第一の搬送室20と第二の搬送室27との間には、UV洗浄室25と積載室26が配置されており、冷却された後の基板11は第一の搬送室20を通ってUV洗浄室25へ送られ、UV光照射により基板11に付着する有機物が分解除去された後、一旦積載室26に蓄えられる。   Between the first transfer chamber 20 and the second transfer chamber 27, a UV cleaning chamber 25 and a loading chamber 26 are arranged, and the substrate 11 after being cooled passes through the first transfer chamber 20. After being sent to the UV cleaning chamber 25 and the organic matter adhering to the substrate 11 is decomposed and removed by UV light irradiation, it is temporarily stored in the loading chamber 26.

積載室26へ蓄ええられた基板11は第二の搬送室27へ取り出され、必要に応じて酸素プラズマ発生室のような前処理室28へ送られ、前処理された後、第二の搬送室27を介して有機成膜室3へ搬入される。   The substrate 11 stored in the loading chamber 26 is taken out to the second transfer chamber 27 and is sent to a pretreatment chamber 28 such as an oxygen plasma generation chamber as necessary. It is carried into the organic film forming chamber 3 through the chamber 27.

また、搬出系統7はバッファ層成膜室71と、電極成膜室75と、封止機構79とを有しており、搬出系統7へ搬出された基板11は先ずバッファ層成膜室71へ送られ、有機薄膜上にLiF(フッ化リチウム)等の電子注入材料を含有するバッファ層が形成された後、電極成膜室75へ送られ、バッファ層上にアルミニウム等の導電材料からなる上部電極膜が形成される。   The unloading system 7 includes a buffer layer film forming chamber 71, an electrode film forming chamber 75, and a sealing mechanism 79, and the substrate 11 unloaded to the unloading system 7 is first transferred to the buffer layer film forming chamber 71. After the buffer layer containing an electron injection material such as LiF (lithium fluoride) is formed on the organic thin film, the buffer layer is sent to the electrode film forming chamber 75, and the upper portion made of a conductive material such as aluminum on the buffer layer. An electrode film is formed.

図4(c)の符号10は電子輸送層17上にバッファ層18と上部電極膜19とが形成された状態の有機EL素子を示しており、有機薄膜15は上部電極膜19と透明電極膜13とで挟まれた状態になっている。   4C shows an organic EL element in which a buffer layer 18 and an upper electrode film 19 are formed on the electron transport layer 17, and the organic thin film 15 includes the upper electrode film 19 and a transparent electrode film. 13 is sandwiched between the two.

透明電極膜13と上部電極膜19は所定形状にパターニングされ、有機薄膜15の透明電極膜13と上部電極膜19とで挟まれた部分を画素として行列上に配置されており、画素を選択して透明電極膜13と上部電極膜19との間に電圧を印加すると、選択された画素にある第一〜第三の発光層16a〜16cが発光する。   The transparent electrode film 13 and the upper electrode film 19 are patterned into a predetermined shape, and a portion sandwiched between the transparent electrode film 13 and the upper electrode film 19 of the organic thin film 15 is arranged on the matrix as a pixel, and the pixel is selected. When a voltage is applied between the transparent electrode film 13 and the upper electrode film 19, the first to third light emitting layers 16a to 16c in the selected pixel emit light.

第一〜第三の発光層16a〜16cに添加された蛍光剤は赤色、緑色、青色のように互いに補色関係にあり、第一〜第三の発光層16a〜16cは同じ場所に積層されているので、第一〜第三の発光層16a〜16cで発生した光は混合され、白色光となる。従って、第一〜第三の発光層16a〜16cからなる発光体9からは白色光が放出される。   The fluorescent agents added to the first to third light emitting layers 16a to 16c are complementary to each other such as red, green and blue, and the first to third light emitting layers 16a to 16c are laminated at the same place. Therefore, the light generated in the first to third light emitting layers 16a to 16c is mixed and becomes white light. Accordingly, white light is emitted from the light emitter 9 including the first to third light emitting layers 16a to 16c.

1つの画素には1色のフィルター12R、12G、12Bが配置されているので、1つの画素から放出される光は赤、緑、青のうちいずれか1色の光のみが透過し、基板11を通って有機EL素子10の外部に放出される。   Since one color filter 12R, 12G, and 12B is disposed in one pixel, only one of red, green, and blue light is transmitted through one pixel, and the substrate 11 It is emitted to the outside of the organic EL element 10 through.

従って、所望の色に対応する画素を選択して発光させれば、文字や図面等を表示することが可能であり、従ってこの有機EL素子10を表示装置に用いることができる。   Therefore, if a pixel corresponding to a desired color is selected to emit light, characters, drawings, and the like can be displayed. Therefore, the organic EL element 10 can be used in a display device.

上部電極膜19が形成された状態の有機EL素子10を更に搬出系統7の封止機構79に送り、有機薄膜が形成された部分をガラスキャップなどの封止キャップで封止すれば、有機EL素子が封止され、外部大気から保護される。   The organic EL element 10 in a state where the upper electrode film 19 is formed is further sent to the sealing mechanism 79 of the carry-out system 7, and the portion where the organic thin film is formed is sealed with a sealing cap such as a glass cap. The element is sealed and protected from the external atmosphere.

以上は、本発明の成膜装置1により形成された有機EL素子10を表示装置に用いる場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。例えば、フィルター12R、12G、12Bを設けず、透明電極膜13と上部電極膜19とで有機薄膜15の広い領域を挟み、有機薄膜15の広い領域を発光させれば、有機EL素子の外部の広い領域に白色光を放出することが可能であり、このような有機EL素子を照明器具の発光装置に用いることができる。   Although the case where the organic EL element 10 formed by the film forming apparatus 1 of the present invention is used for a display device has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if the wide area of the organic thin film 15 is sandwiched between the transparent electrode film 13 and the upper electrode film 19 and the wide area of the organic thin film 15 is caused to emit light without providing the filters 12R, 12G, and 12B, the outside of the organic EL element White light can be emitted over a wide area, and such an organic EL element can be used for a light-emitting device of a lighting fixture.

以上は、成膜区間53に単位有機蒸着源41a〜41eを5つ設ける場合について説明したが本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、単位有機蒸着源41a〜41eの数は成膜する有機薄膜の種類によって変えることができる。また、以上は単位有機蒸着源41a〜41eに異なる有機蒸着材料43a〜43eを配置する場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、2つ以上の単位有機蒸着源41a〜41eに同じ種類の有機蒸着材料43a〜43eを配置することもできる。
搬送体が成膜区間53を通過するときの速度は一定であってもよいし、各単位有機蒸着源上でその移動速度を変えてもよい。
The case where five unit organic vapor deposition sources 41a to 41e are provided in the film formation section 53 has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of unit organic vapor deposition sources 41a to 41e is the number of organic layers to be formed. It can be changed depending on the type of thin film. Moreover, although the above demonstrated the case where different organic vapor deposition material 43a-43e is arrange | positioned to unit organic vapor deposition source 41a-41e, this invention is not limited to this, Two or more unit organic vapor deposition sources 41a- The same kind of organic vapor deposition materials 43a to 43e can be arranged on 41e.
The speed at which the carrier passes through the film forming section 53 may be constant, or the moving speed may be changed on each unit organic vapor deposition source.

以上は、有機薄膜15を、ホール輸送層14と発光層16a〜16cと電子輸送層17とで構成する場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものでははい。例えば白色光を放出する有機EL素子10を得るためには、最低でも補色関係にある発光層を2つ以上有していればよく、また、上述したホール輸送層14や電子輸送層17以外にも、ホール注入層、ホールブロック層、電子注入層等を設けることもできる。   Although the above has described the case where the organic thin film 15 includes the hole transport layer 14, the light emitting layers 16a to 16c, and the electron transport layer 17, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in order to obtain the organic EL element 10 that emits white light, it is only necessary to have at least two light emitting layers having a complementary color relationship, and in addition to the hole transport layer 14 and the electron transport layer 17 described above. Alternatively, a hole injection layer, a hole block layer, an electron injection layer, or the like can be provided.

以上は、蛍光剤を電子輸送剤と一緒に有機蒸着材料に添加する場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、蛍光剤をホール輸送剤と一緒に有機蒸着材料に添加することもできる。蛍光剤の色は補色関係にあるものであれば特に限定されず、上述した赤色、緑色、青色の組み合わせ以外にも、例えば、青色と黄色の蛍光剤を有機蒸着材料に別々に添加し、2色の発光層を形成することもできる。   The above describes the case where the fluorescent agent is added to the organic vapor deposition material together with the electron transport agent, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the fluorescent agent may be added to the organic vapor deposition material together with the hole transport agent. it can. The color of the fluorescent agent is not particularly limited as long as it has a complementary color relationship. In addition to the combination of red, green, and blue described above, for example, blue and yellow fluorescent agents are separately added to the organic vapor deposition material, and 2 A color light-emitting layer can also be formed.

また、以上は各色の蛍光剤を別々の有機蒸着材料に添加する場合について説明したが本発明はこれに限定されず、補色関係にある2色以上の蛍光剤を同じ有機蒸着材料に添加して成膜を行い、1つの発光層で発光体を構成してもよい。   Moreover, although the above demonstrated the case where the fluorescent agent of each color was added to separate organic vapor deposition material, this invention is not limited to this, Add the fluorescent agent of 2 colors or more in a complementary color relationship to the same organic vapor deposition material. Film formation may be performed to form a light emitter with a single light emitting layer.

以上は補色関係にある2色以上の蛍光剤を有機蒸着材料に添加し、白色光を発生する有機薄膜を形成する場合について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、単色の光を放出する蛍光剤だけを用い、単色の光を発生する発光体を形成してもよい。例えば、蛍光剤として赤色の光を発生するものを用いて単色光を発生する発光体を形成した場合には、有機EL素子からは赤色の光が放出されることになる。   The above is a case where two or more colors of fluorescent agents having complementary colors are added to an organic vapor deposition material to form an organic thin film that generates white light. However, the present invention is not limited to this, A phosphor that emits monochromatic light may be formed by using only a fluorescent agent that emits light. For example, when a phosphor that generates red light as a fluorescent agent is used to form a light emitter that generates monochromatic light, red light is emitted from the organic EL element.
