Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable vacuum deposition on a large surface with small equipment by using a part of a material to be vapor-deposited as the common outer wall for two vacuum chambers, automatically keeping the pressure difference between both vacuum chambers at a fixed value, and carrying out vacuum deposition in the one vacuum chamber. CONSTITUTION:Two vacuum 3 and 4, which as kept airtight with gaskets 3a and 4a and separated from each other by using a part of a substrate 1 to be vapor- deposited as the common outer wall, are provided on a base 6. The inside of the vacuum vessel 3 is evacuated to a high vacuum of 10<-6>-10<-7>Torr by an evacuation device consisting of a diffusion pump 11, a rotary pump 12, a main valve 13, a three- way valve 14, a pump leak valve 15, and a leak valve 16. The pressure difference between the vacuum chamber 3 and the vacuum chamber 4 is automatically kept at about 10<-3>Torr at all times by a leak 18 interlocked with the leak valve 16 and a pressure control valve 17, and vacuum deposition is applied on the surface in the vacuum vessel 3 with the vapor from a vaporization source 2 without damaging the substrate 1 to be vapor-deposited. The substrate 1 is then moved to apply vapor deposition on the other part, and a vapor-deposited film can be formed on the whole surface or the desired surface of the large-area substrate with the small vacuum vessel equipment.
