Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for detecting a short circuit of a film forming apparatus.
Generally, a film forming apparatus refers to a device that forms a coating layer such as a dielectric layer or a conductive layer on a flat panel display device or a solar cell substrate (for example, a glass substrate) with a certain thickness (for example, a thin film or a thick film). The film forming apparatus can deposit a coating layer by depositing a substrate on the inside of a vacuum chamber, ionizing and diffusing the film forming material by irradiating the film forming material with a plasma beam, and depositing ionized film forming particles on the surface of the substrate.
The film forming apparatus includes a platen on which the substrate is placed and a plurality of clamps coupled to the outside of the platen to fix the edge of the substrate. When the film forming process is performed inside the film forming apparatus, the film forming particles diffused from the film forming material are deposited not only on the surface of the substrate but also on the clamp located outside the platen. On the other hand, the insulation property between the clamp and the platen should be maintained. However, as the film formation process time accumulates, the deposition characteristics of the clamp and the platen increase, and the electrical resistance, for example, electrical resistance decreases. In addition, as the amount of deposition particles to be deposited increases, the quality of the deposition of the coating layer deposited on the substrate may change as the insulation characteristics between the clamp and the substrate are changed. In addition, when the substrate is formed of a glass substrate, the glass substrate may be damaged by sparks generated between the clamp and the substrate. Therefore, the clamp must be separated from the platen after the film forming process time to remove the coating layer deposited on the surface.
However, since the film forming apparatus maintains the vacuum state during the process, it is impossible to confirm to what extent the deposition particles are deposited on the clamp in the naked eye. Therefore, when the film forming process time is longer than the set maintenance time, The efficiency of the deposition process is deteriorated. Here, the maintenance process refers to a process of removing the deposition particles deposited on the surface of the clamp by separating the clamp from the deposition apparatus. If the deposition time does not exceed the maintenance time but the deposition particles deposited on the clamp are larger than usual, an appropriate maintenance process may not proceed, and if the maintenance process is unnecessarily performed in the opposite case . Particularly, in the case where the number of deposition particles abnormally deposited in any one of the clamps is increased, it is difficult to perform appropriate maintenance, so that the deposition may be uneven or the glass substrate may be broken during the deposition process.
Meanwhile, the above-described information disclosed in the background of the present invention is only for improving the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information not constituting the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a clamp short detection device for a film forming apparatus capable of measuring an electrical resistance between a clamp and a ground and generating an alarm when the measured value is equal to or less than a reference value, .

The sensing unit may further include an alarm unit for outputting an alarm signal when the electrical resistance is smaller than the reference resistance.
Further, a switch may be further connected between the power supply unit and the reference resistor.
Further, the reference resistor may be a variable resistor.
Further, the platen may be grounded to the ground, and the electrical resistance of the clamp may be the electrical resistance between the clamp and the ground.

In addition, the apparatus for detecting a short-circuit of a clamp according to the present invention independently senses the electrical resistance of a plurality of clamps installed on a platen, and generates an alarm when the electrical resistance in any one of the clamps is reduced, So that it is possible to determine an accurate maintenance period of time.
