Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sputtering apparatus, and more particularly, to a sputtering apparatus capable of effectively preventing plasma ions from penetrating into a substrate carrier.
Recently, with the development of various portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and notebook computers, there is a growing demand for flat panel display devices for light and thin applications. Such flat panel displays are being actively researched, such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), PDP (Plasma Display Panel), FED (Field Emission Display), VFD (Vacuum Fluorescent Display), but mass production technology, ease of driving means, Liquid crystal display devices (LCDs) are in the spotlight for reasons of implementation.
A liquid crystal display device is a device that displays information on a screen by using refractive anisotropy. The liquid crystal display device displays a desired image by individually supplying data signals according to image information to a plurality of liquid crystal cells arranged in a matrix form, and adjusting a light transmittance of the liquid crystal cells. to be.
Accordingly, the liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel in which liquid crystal cells in pixel units are arranged in a matrix form, and a driver integrated circuit (IC) for driving the liquid crystal cell. The liquid crystal panel includes a color filter substrate and a thin film transistor array substrate facing each other, and a liquid crystal layer formed between the color filter substrate and the thin film transistor array substrate.
On the thin film transistor array substrate of the liquid crystal panel, a plurality of data lines for transmitting a data signal supplied from a data driver integrated circuit to a liquid crystal cell and a plurality of scan signals for transmitting a scan signal supplied from a gate driver integrated circuit to the liquid crystal cell. The gate lines of are orthogonal to each other, and a liquid crystal cell is defined at each intersection of these data lines and the gate lines. Common electrodes and pixel electrodes are formed on opposite inner surfaces of the color filter substrate and the thin film transistor array substrate to apply an electric field to the liquid crystal layer. In this case, the pixel electrode is formed for each liquid crystal cell on the thin film transistor array substrate, while the common electrode is integrally formed on the front surface of the color filter substrate. Therefore, by controlling the voltage applied to the pixel electrode in a state where a voltage is applied to the common electrode, it is possible to individually control the light transmittance of the liquid crystal cells. As described above, in order to control the voltage applied to the pixel electrode for each liquid crystal cell, a thin film transistor used as a switching element is formed in each liquid crystal cell.
Such a thin film transistor and various electrodes are made of a metal layer. Such a metal layer is typically formed by a sputtering method by a sputtering apparatus, which will be described below.

The barrier plate includes a first barrier plate formed at an end of the floating shield and a second barrier plate formed inside the space between the floating shield and the substrate.
In the present invention, the prevention shield is provided on the floating shield to prevent the plasma ion from penetrating into the substrate carrier. Therefore, the plasma ions are prevented from being deposited on the substrate carrier to prevent the stacked materials from sticking to the substrate as foreign materials during the sputtering process.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the present invention.

On the other hand, in the above detailed description, only the specific structure is disclosed as the structure of the sputtering apparatus, but the present invention is not limited to this specific structure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, a sputtering apparatus having a floating shield is provided with at least one barrier plate on the floating shield to prevent plasma ions from penetrating into the substrate carrier. Therefore, if this object can be achieved, it can be applied to any structure of the sputtering apparatus. In other words, if the floating shield with the prevention plate is installed in the vacuum chamber, any structure of the sputtering device will be included in the present invention.
In addition, in the above description, although the space between the floating shield and the substrate is curved, plasma ions do not penetrate into the substrate carrier, but the shape of the space need not be curved. If the space is formed only in a non-linear shape such as a double curve or a shape refracted at a predetermined angle, the space of the present invention can be effectively prevented from penetrating into the substrate carrier. . In addition, in the above detailed description, the shape of the space is described as being formed in various shapes by two prevention plates, but the shape of the space may be changed into various shapes by the shape change of the lower surface of the floating shield itself.
In other words, other examples or modifications of the present invention can be easily created by anyone in the technical field to which the liquid crystal display device using the basic concept of the present invention belongs.
