The vacuum chamber is mainly moved between the atomic layer deposition operation area and the vacuum chamber placement area through a conveying device, and the atomization of the powder can be carried out in an automated manner. layer deposition process.
奈米顆粒(nanoparticle)一般被定義為在至少一個維度上小於100奈米的顆粒,奈米顆粒與宏觀物質在物理及化學上的特性截然不同。一般而言,宏觀物質的物理特性與本身的尺寸無關,但奈米顆粒則非如此,奈米顆粒在生物醫學、光學和電子等領域都具有潛在的應用。 Nanoparticles are generally defined as particles smaller than 100 nanometers in at least one dimension that are physically and chemically distinct from macroscopic substances. In general, the physical properties of macroscopic substances are independent of their size, but this is not the case for nanoparticles, which have potential applications in fields such as biomedicine, optics, and electronics.
量子點(Quantum Dot)是半導體的奈米顆粒,目前研究的半導體材料為II-VI材料,如ZnS、CdS、CdSe等,其中又以CdSe最受到矚目。量子點的尺寸通常在2至50奈米之間,量子點被紫外線照射後,量子點中的電子會吸收能量,並從價帶躍遷到傳導帶。被激發的電子從傳導帶回到價帶時,會通過發光釋放出能量。 Quantum Dot (Quantum Dot) is a semiconductor nanoparticle. The currently studied semiconductor materials are II-VI materials, such as ZnS, CdS, CdSe, etc., among which CdSe is the most attention. The size of quantum dots is usually between 2 and 50 nanometers. When the quantum dots are irradiated with ultraviolet light, the electrons in the quantum dots absorb energy and transition from the valence band to the conduction band. Excited electrons release energy by emitting light as they travel from the conduction band back to the valence band.
量子點的能隙與尺寸大小相關,量子點的尺寸越大能隙越小,經照射後會發出波長較長的光,量子點的尺寸越小則能隙越大,經照射後會 發出波長較短的光。例如5到6奈米的量子點會發出橘光或紅光,而2到3奈米的量子點則會發出藍光或綠光,當然光色取決於量子點的材料組成。 The energy gap of quantum dots is related to the size. The larger the size of the quantum dots, the smaller the energy gap. After irradiation, it will emit light with a longer wavelength. The smaller the size of the quantum dots, the larger the energy gap. Emits light with shorter wavelengths. For example, quantum dots of 5 to 6 nanometers will emit orange or red light, while quantum dots of 2 to 3 nanometers will emit blue or green light, of course, the light color depends on the material composition of the quantum dots.
應用量子點的發光二極體(LED)產生的光可接近連續光譜,同時具有高演色性,並有利於提高發光二極體的發光品質。此外亦可透過改變量子點的尺寸調整發射光的波長,使得量子點成為新一代發光裝置及顯示器的發展重點。 Light emitting diodes (LEDs) using quantum dots can produce light close to a continuous spectrum, and at the same time have high color rendering properties, which is beneficial to improve the luminous quality of light emitting diodes. In addition, the wavelength of the emitted light can be adjusted by changing the size of the quantum dots, making the quantum dots become the focus of the development of the new generation of light-emitting devices and displays.
量子點雖然具有上述的優點及特性,但在應用或製造的過程中容易產生團聚現象。此外量子點具有較高的表面活性,並容易與空氣及水氣發生反應,進而縮短量子點的壽命。 Although quantum dots have the above-mentioned advantages and characteristics, they are prone to agglomeration in the process of application or manufacture. In addition, quantum dots have high surface activity and easily react with air and water vapor, thereby shortening the life of quantum dots.
具體來說,將量子點製作成為發光二極體的密封膠時,可能會產生團聚效應,而降低了量子點的光學性能。此外,量子點在製作成發光二極體的密封膠後,外界的氧或水氣仍可能會穿過密封膠而接觸量子點的表面,導致量子點氧化,並影響量子點及發光二極體的效能或使用壽命。量子點的表面缺陷及懸空鍵(dangling bonds)亦可能造成非輻射復合(nonradiative recombination),同樣會影響量子點的發光效率。 Specifically, when quantum dots are used as sealants for light-emitting diodes, agglomeration effects may occur, which reduce the optical properties of quantum dots. In addition, after the quantum dots are made into the sealant of the light-emitting diodes, the external oxygen or moisture may still pass through the sealant and contact the surface of the quantum dots, resulting in oxidation of the quantum dots and affecting the quantum dots and light-emitting diodes. performance or service life. Surface defects and dangling bonds of quantum dots may also cause nonradiative recombination, which also affects the luminous efficiency of quantum dots.
目前業界主要透過原子層沉積(atomic layer deposition,ALD)在量子點的表面形成一層奈米厚度的薄膜,或者是在量子點的表面形成多層薄膜,以形成量子井結構。 At present, the industry mainly uses atomic layer deposition (ALD) to form a nanometer-thick film on the surface of the quantum dot, or to form a multi-layer film on the surface of the quantum dot to form a quantum well structure.
原子層沉積可以在基板上形成厚度均勻的薄膜,並可有效控制薄膜的厚度,理論上亦適用於三維的量子點。量子點靜置在承載盤時,相鄰的量子點之間會存在接觸點,使得原子層沉積的前驅物氣體無法接觸這些接觸點,並導致無法在所有的奈米顆粒的表面皆形成厚度均勻的薄膜。 Atomic layer deposition can form a thin film with uniform thickness on the substrate, and can effectively control the thickness of the thin film. It is also suitable for three-dimensional quantum dots in theory. When the quantum dots are placed on the carrier plate, there will be contact points between adjacent quantum dots, so that the precursor gas of atomic layer deposition cannot contact these contact points, and it is impossible to form uniform thickness on the surface of all nanoparticles. film.

在本發明一實施例中,進氣管線173可包括至少一攪動氣體輸送管線175流體連接真空腔體11的反應空間12,並用以將非反應氣體輸送至反應空間12,例如攪動氣體輸送管線175可透過閥件組連接一氮氣儲存槽,並透過閥件組將氮氣輸送至反應空間12。非反應氣體用以吹動反應空間12內的粉末121,配合驅動單元15驅動真空腔體11轉動,將可有效且均勻的翻攪反應空間12內的粉末121,並有利於在各個粉末121的表面沉積厚度均勻的薄膜。
In an embodiment of the present invention, the
可拆式粉末原子層沉積裝置10的進氣管線173及攪動氣體輸送管線175都是用以將非反應氣體輸送至反應空間12,其中進氣管線173輸送的非反應氣體的流量較小,主要用以去除反應空間12內的前驅物氣體,而攪動氣體輸送管線175輸送的非反應氣體的流量較大,主要用以吹動反應空間12內的粉末121。
The
具體而言,進氣管線173及攪動氣體輸送管線175將非反應氣體輸送至反應空間12的時間點不同,因此在實際應用時可不設置攪動氣體輸送管線175,並調整進氣管線173在不同時間點輸送的非反應氣體的流量。在
去除反應空間12內的前驅物氣體時,可降低進氣管線173輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體的流量,而要吹動反應空間12內的粉末121時,則增加進氣管線173輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體的流量。

在本發明一實施例中,內管體133連接反應空間12的一端可設置一過濾單元139,其中抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175經由過濾單元139流體連接反應空間12,並經由過濾單元139抽出反應空間12內的氣體。過濾單元139主要用以過濾反應空間12內的粉末121,以避免粉末121在抽氣的過程中進入抽氣管線171內,而造成粉末121的損耗。
In an embodiment of the present invention, a
加熱器177用以加熱連接空間134及內管體133,並透過加熱器177加熱內管體133內的抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175,以提高抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175內的氣體的溫度。例如可提高進氣管線173輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體及/或前驅物氣體的溫度,並可提高攪動氣體輸送管線175輸送至反應空間12的非反應氣體的溫度。使得非反應氣體及/或前驅物氣體進入反應空間12時,不會造成反應空間12的溫度大幅下降或改變。此外可透過溫度感測單元179量測加熱器177或連接空間134的溫度,以得知加熱器177的工作狀態。當然在真空腔體11的內部、外部或周圍通常會設置另一個加熱裝置,其中加熱裝置鄰近或接觸真空腔體11,並用以加熱真空腔體11及反應空間12。
The
驅動單元15帶動外管體131及真空腔體11轉動時,內管體133及內部的抽氣管線171、進氣管線173及/或攪動氣體輸送管線175並不會隨著轉動,並有利於穩定傳送至反應空間12的非反應氣體及前驅物氣體。
