Definitions
- An aspect of the present invention relates to a thin film deposition apparatus and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display apparatus by using the same, and more particularly, to a thin film deposition apparatus that can be easily used to manufacture large substrates on a mass scale and that improves manufacturing yield, and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display apparatus by using the thin film deposition apparatus.
- Organic light-emitting display apparatuses have a larger viewing angle, better contrast characteristics, and a faster response rate than other display apparatuses, and thus have drawn attention as next-generation display apparatuses.
- An organic light-emitting display apparatus includes intermediate layers, including an emission layer disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode that are arranged opposite to each other.
- the electrodes and the intermediate layers may be formed using a variety of methods, one of which is a deposition method.
- a fine metal mask (FMM) having the same pattern as a thin film to be formed is disposed in close contact with a substrate, and a thin film material is deposited over the FMM in order to form the thin film having the desired pattern.
- the FMM when the FMM is used, it is not easy to form an organic thin film pattern on a large substrate, such as a mother glass having a large size.
- the mask when the large-sized mask is used, the mask may be bent due to self-gravity, and the organic thin film pattern may be distorted due to the bent mask. This is not desirable for high definition patterning which is being increasingly used recently.
- An aspect of the present invention provides a thin film deposition apparatus that may be easily manufactured, that may be easily used to manufacture large-sized display apparatuses on a mass scale and that allows high-definition patterning, and a method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display apparatus by using the thin film deposition apparatus.
- a thin film deposition apparatus including: a loading unit fixing a substrate that is a deposition target, onto an electrostatic chuck; a deposition unit including a chamber maintained in a vacuum state and a thin film deposition assembly disposed in the chamber, separated from the substrate by a predetermined distance, for depositing a thin film on the substrate fixed on the electrostatic chuck; an unloading unit separating the substrate on which a deposition process is completed, from the electrostatic chuck; a first circulation unit sequentially moving the electrostatic chuck on which the substrate is fixed, to the loading unit, the deposition unit, and the unloading unit; and a second circulation unit returning the electrostatic chuck separated from the substrate to the loading unit from the unloading unit, wherein the first circulation unit is disposed to pass through the chamber when passing through the deposition unit.
- a plurality of thin film deposition assemblies may be disposed in the chamber.
- the chamber may include a first chamber and a second chamber each including a plurality of thin film deposition assemblies, and the first chamber and the second chamber may be connected to each other.
- the first circulation unit or the second circulation unit may include a carrier that allows the electrostatic chuck to be moved.
- the carrier may include: a support installed to pass through the chamber and including a first support and a second support each extending along the first circulation unit or the second circulation unit; a moving bar disposed on the first support, to support edges of the electrostatic chuck; and a first driving unit interposed between the first support and the moving bar, to allow the moving bar to be moved along the first support.
- the thin film deposition assembly may include: a deposition source that discharges a deposition material; a deposition source nozzle unit that is disposed at a side of the deposition source and includes a plurality of deposition source nozzles arranged in a first direction; and a patterning slit sheet that is disposed opposite to the deposition source nozzle unit and includes a plurality of patterning slits arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and wherein a deposition process is performed while the substrate is moved relative to the thin film deposition assembly in the first direction, and the deposition source, the deposition source nozzle unit, and the patterning slit sheet are integrally formed as one body.

- Organic light-emitting display apparatuses have a larger viewing angle, better contrast characteristics, and a faster response rate than other display apparatuses, and thus have drawn attention as next-generation display apparatuses.
- An organic light-emitting display apparatus includes intermediate layers, including an emission layer disposed between a first electrode and a second electrode that are arranged opposite to each other. The electrodes and the intermediate layers may be formed using a variety of methods, one of which is a deposition method. When an organic light-emitting display apparatus is manufactured by using the deposition method, a fine metal mask (FMM) having the same pattern as a thin film to be formed is disposed in close contact with a substrate, and a thin film material is deposited over the FMM in order to form the thin film having the desired pattern.
- However, when the FMM is used, it is not easy to form an organic thin film pattern on a large substrate, such as a mother glass having a large size. In other words, when the large-sized mask is used, the mask may be bent due to self-gravity, and the organic thin film pattern may be distorted due to the bent mask. This is not desirable for high definition patterning which is being increasingly used recently.

FIG. 1 , the thin film deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes aloading unit 710, adeposition unit 730, anunloading unit 720, afirst circulation unit 610, and asecond circulation unit 620. - The
loading unit 710 may include afirst rack 712, atransport robot 714, atransport chamber 716, and afirst inversion chamber 718. - A plurality of
substrates 500 on which deposition is not performed, are stacked on thefirst rack 712, and thetransport robot 714 picks up thesubstrates 500 from thefirst rack 712, places thesubstrates 500 on theelectrostatic chuck 600 conveyed from thesecond circulation unit 620 and then conveys theelectrostatic chuck 600 on which thesubstrates 500 are placed, to thetransport chamber 716. - The
first inversion chamber 718 is disposed adjacent to thetransport chamber 716, and afirst inversion robot 719 located at thefirst inversion chamber 718 inverts theelectrostatic chuck 600 to bar theelectrostatic chuck 600 on thefirst circulation unit 610 of thedeposition unit 730. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , theelectrostatic chuck 600 includes anelectrode 602 embedded in amain body 601 formed of dielectric material, wherein theelectrode 602 is supplied with power. Such an electrostatic chuck may fix thesubstrates 500 on a surface of themain body 601 as a high voltage is applied to theelectrode 602. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , thetransport robot 714 places thesubstrates 500 on a top surface of theelectrostatic chuck 600. In this state, theelectrostatic chuck 600 is conveyed to thetransport chamber 716. As thefirst inversion robot 719 inverts theelectrostatic chuck 600, thesubstrates 500 are directed downwards in thedeposition unit 730. - The
unloading unit 720 is constituted to operate in an opposite manner to theloading unit 710 described above. In other words, thesubstrates 500 and theelectrostatic chuck 600 that pass through thedeposition unit 730 are inverted by asecond inversion robot 729 in asecond inversion chamber 728 and are conveyed to anejection chamber 726, and anejection robot 724 takes thesubstrates 500 and theelectrostatic chuck 600 out of theejection chamber 726 and then separates thesubstrates 500 from theelectrostatic chuck 600 to place or stack thesubstrates 500 on asecond rack 722. Theelectrostatic chuck 600 which is separated from thesubstrates 500 is returned to theloading unit 710 via thesecond circulation unit 620. - However, aspects of the present invention are not limited thereto. The
substrates 500 may be fixed on a bottom surface of theelectrostatic chuck 600 from when thesubstrates 500 are initially fixed on theelectrostatic chuck 600, and theelectrostatic chuck 600 may be conveyed to thedeposition unit 730. In this regard, thefirst inversion chamber 718, thefirst inversion robot 719, thesecond inversion chamber 728, and thesecond inversion robot 729 are not necessary. - The
deposition unit 730 includes at least one deposition chamber. According to the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , thedeposition unit 730 may include afirst chamber 731, and a plurality of thinfilm deposition assemblies first chamber 731. According to the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , four thin film deposition assemblies including a first thinfilm deposition assembly 100, a second thinfilm deposition assembly 200, a third thinfilm deposition assembly 300, and a fourth thinfilm deposition assembly 400 are installed in thefirst chamber 731. However, the number of thin film deposition assemblies to be installed in thefirst chamber 731 may vary according to a deposition material and a deposition condition. Thefirst chamber 731 has an appropriate degree of vacuum maintained therein when deposition is performed. - Also, according to another embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in
FIG. 2 , thedeposition unit 730 includes thefirst chamber 731 and thesecond chamber 732 connected to each other, and the first and second thinfilm deposition assemblies first chamber 731, and the third and fourth thinfilm deposition assemblies second chamber 732. Of course, the number of chambers is not limited thereto and may be increased. - According to the embodiment of
FIG. 1 , theelectrostatic chuck 600, on which thesubstrates 500 are disposed, is moved to at least thedeposition unit 730 by thefirst circulation unit 610 and may be sequentially moved to theloading unit 710, thedeposition unit 730, and theunloading unit 720. Theelectrostatic chuck 600 separated from thesubstrates 500 in theunloading unit 720 is returned to theloading unit 710 by thesecond circulation unit 620. - The
first circulation unit 610 is disposed to pass through thefirst chamber 731 when passing through thedeposition unit 730, and thesecond circulation unit 620 allows theelectrostatic chuck 600 to be conveyed to theloading unit 710. -

first circulation unit 610 includes afirst carrier 611 that allows theelectrostatic chuck 600 on which thesubstrates 500 are disposed, to be moved. - The
first carrier 611 includes afirst support 613, asecond support 614, a movingbar 615, and afirst driving unit 616. - The
first support 613 and thesecond support 614 are installed to pass through a chamber of thedeposition unit 730, for example, in the embodiment ofFIG. 1 , thefirst chamber 731, and in the embodiment ofFIG. 2 , thefirst chamber 731 and thesecond chamber 732. - The
first support 613 is disposed vertically in thefirst chamber 731, and thesecond support 614 is horizontally disposed below thefirst support 613 in thefirst chamber 731. As illustrated inFIG. 4 , thefirst support 613 and thesecond support 614 are disposed perpendicular to each other forming a bent structure. However, aspects of the present invention are not limited thereto. Thefirst support 613 may be disposed above thesecond support 614, and thesecond support 614 may be disposed below thefirst support 613. - The moving
bar 615 is movable along thefirst support 613. At least one end of the movingbar 615 is supported by thefirst support 613, and the other end of the movingbar 615 is formed to be supported by edges of theelectrostatic chuck 600. Theelectrostatic chuck 600 may be fixedly supported on the movingbar 615 and may be moved along thefirst support 613 due to the movingbar 615. A portion of the movingbar 615 that supports theelectrostatic chuck 600 may be bent toward a thinfilm deposition assembly 100 and may allow thesubstrates 500 to be close to the thinfilm deposition assembly 100. - The
first driving unit 616 is interposed between the movingbar 615 and thefirst support 613. Thefirst driving unit 616 may include aroller 617 that may be rolled along thefirst support 613. Thefirst driving unit 616 allows the movingbar 615 to be moved along thefirst support 613 and may provide a driving power or may transfer a driving power generated by an additional driving source to the movingbar 615. Thefirst driving unit 616 may be any driving device that allows the movingbar 615 to be moved, as well as theroller 617. -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of thesecond circulation unit 620 of the thin film deposition apparatus ofFIG. 1 . - The

second carrier 621 includes athird support 623, the movingbar 615, and thefirst driving unit 616. - The
third support 623 extends to the same length as an extended length of thefirst support 613 of thefirst carrier 611. The movingbar 615 on which thefirst driving unit 616 is disposed is supported by thethird support 623, and theelectrostatic chuck 600 that is separated from thesubstrates 500 is mounted on the movingbar 615. Structures of the movingbar 615 and thefirst driving unit 616 are as described above. - Next, the thin
film deposition assembly 100 disposed in thefirst chamber 731 will be described.FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention,FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 ofFIG. 6 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 8 is a schematic plan view of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 ofFIG. 6 , according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 6 through 8 , the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 includes adeposition source 110, a depositionsource nozzle unit 120, and apatterning slit sheet 150. - In particular, in order to deposit a
deposition material 115 emitted from thedeposition source 110 and discharged through the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thepatterning slit sheet 150, onto asubstrate 500 in a desired pattern, thefirst chamber 731 should be maintained in a high-vacuum state as in a deposition method using a fine metal mask (FMM). In addition, the temperature of thepatterning slit sheet 150 should be sufficiently lower than the temperature of thedeposition source 110. In this regard, the temperature of thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be about 100° C. or less. The temperature of thepatterning slit sheet 150 should be sufficiently low so as to reduce thermal expansion of thepatterning slit sheet 150. - The
substrate 500, which constitutes a deposition target on which thedeposition material 115 is to be deposited, is disposed in thefirst chamber 731. Thesubstrate 500 may be a substrate for flat panel displays. A large substrate, such as a mother glass, for manufacturing a plurality of flat panel displays, may be used as thesubstrate 500. Other substrates may also be employed. - Deposition may be performed while the
substrate 500 or the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 is moved relative to the other. - In particular, in the conventional FMM deposition method, the size of the FMM has to be equal to the size of a substrate. Thus, the size of the FMM has to be increased as the substrate becomes larger. However, it is neither simple to manufacture a large FMM nor to extend an FMM to be accurately aligned with a pattern.
- In order to overcome this problem, in the thin
film deposition assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, deposition may be performed while the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 or thesubstrate 500 is moved relative to the other. In other words, deposition may be continuously performed while thesubstrate 500, which is disposed to face the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, is moved in a Y-axis direction. In other words, deposition is performed in a scanning manner while thesubstrate 500 is moved in a direction of arrow A inFIG. 6 . - In the thin
film deposition assembly 100, thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be significantly smaller than an FMM used in a conventional deposition method. In other words, in the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, deposition is continuously performed, i.e., in a scanning manner while thesubstrate 500 is moved in the Y-axis direction. Thus, lengths of thepatterning slit sheet 150 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions may be significantly less than the lengths of thesubstrate 500 in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. As described above, since thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be formed to be significantly smaller than an FMM used in the conventional deposition method, it is relatively easy to manufacture thepatterning slit sheet 150 used in the aspects of the present invention. In other words, using thepatterning slit sheet 150, which is smaller than an FMM used in the conventional deposition method, is more convenient in all processes, including etching and other subsequent processes, such as precise extension, welding, moving, and cleaning processes, compared to the conventional deposition method using the larger FMM. This is more advantageous for a relatively large display apparatus. - The
deposition source 110 that contains and heats thedeposition material 115 is disposed in an opposite side of thefirst chamber 731 to the side in which thesubstrate 500 is disposed. While thedeposition material 115 contained in thedeposition source 110 is vaporized, thedeposition material 115 is deposited on thesubstrate 500. - In particular, the
deposition source 110 includes acrucible 112 that is filled with thedeposition material 115, and acooling block 111 that includes a heater (not shown) that heats thecrucible 112 to vaporize thedeposition material 115, which is contained in thecrucible 112, towards a side of thecrucible 112, and in particular, towards the depositionsource nozzle unit 120. Thecooling block 111 prevents radiation of heat from thecrucible 112 to outside, i.e., into thefirst chamber 731. - The deposition
source nozzle unit 120 is disposed at a side of thedeposition source 110, and in particular, at the side of thedeposition source 110 facing thesubstrate 500. The depositionsource nozzle unit 120 includes a plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 arranged at equal intervals in the Y-axis direction, i.e., a scanning direction of thesubstrate 500. Thedeposition material 110 that is vaporized in thedeposition source 110 passes through the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 towards thesubstrate 500. As described above, when the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 includes the plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 arranged in the Y-axis direction, that is, the scanning direction of thesubstrate 500, the size of a pattern formed of thedeposition material 115 discharged through the patterning slits 151 of thepatterning slit sheet 150 is affected by the size of each deposition source nozzle 121 (since there is only one line of deposition nozzles in the X-axis direction), and thus no shadow zone may be formed on thesubstrate 500. In addition, since the plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 are arranged in the scanning direction of thesubstrate 500, even when there is a difference in flux between thedeposition source nozzles 121, the difference may be compensated for and deposition uniformity may be maintained constant. - The
patterning slit sheet 150 and aframe 155 in which thepatterning slit sheet 150 is bound are disposed between thedeposition source 110 and thesubstrate 500. Theframe 155 may be formed in a lattice shape, similar to a window frame. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 is bound inside theframe 155. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 includes a plurality of patterning slits 151 arranged in the X-axis direction. Thedeposition material 115 that is vaporized in thedeposition source 110, passes through the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 towards thesubstrate 500. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be manufactured by etching, which is the same method as used in a conventional method of manufacturing an FMM, and in particular, a striped FMM. In this regard, the total number of patterning slits 151 may be greater than the total number of deposition source nozzles 121. - In addition, the
deposition source 110 and the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 coupled to thedeposition source 110 may be disposed to be separated from thepatterning slit sheet 150 by a predetermined distance. Alternatively, thedeposition source 110 and the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 coupled to thedeposition source 110 may be connected to thepatterning slit sheet 150 by afirst connection member 135. That is, thedeposition source 110, the depositionsource nozzle unit 120, and thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be integrally formed as one body by being connected to each other via thefirst connection member 135. Thefirst connection member 135 guides thedeposition material 121, which is discharged through thedeposition source nozzles 121, to move in a substantially straight line through the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, and not to flow in the X-axis direction. InFIG. 6 , thefirst connection members 135 are formed on left and right sides of thedeposition source 110, the depositionsource nozzle unit 120, and thepatterning slit sheet 150 to guide the deposition material 915 not to flow in the X-axis direction; however, aspects of the present invention are not limited thereto. That is, thefirst connection member 135 may be formed as a sealed box to guide the flow of the deposition material 915 both in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. - As described above, the thin
film deposition assembly 100 performs deposition while being moved relative to thesubstrate 500. In order to move the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 relative to thesubstrate 500, thepatterning slit sheet 150 is separated from thesubstrate 500 by a predetermined distance. - In particular, in the conventional deposition method using an FMM, deposition is performed with the FMM in close contact with a substrate in order to prevent formation of a shadow zone on the substrate. However, when the FMM is used in close contact with the substrate, the contact may cause defects. In addition, in the conventional deposition method, the size of the mask has to be the same as the size of the substrate since the mask cannot be moved relative to the substrate. Thus, the size of the mask has to be increased as display apparatuses become larger. However, it is not easy to manufacture such a large mask.
- In order to overcome this problem, in the thin
film deposition assembly 100, thepatterning slit sheet 150 is disposed to be separated from thesubstrate 500 by a predetermined distance. - As described above, a mask is formed to be smaller than a substrate, and deposition is performed while the mask is moved relative to the substrate. Thus, the mask can be easily manufactured. In addition, defects caused due to the contact between a substrate and an FMM, which occur in the conventional deposition method, may be prevented. Furthermore, since it is unnecessary to dispose the FMM in close contact with the substrate during a deposition process, the manufacturing time may be reduced.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a thinfilm deposition assembly 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 9 , the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 includes adeposition source 110, a depositionsource nozzle unit 120, and apatterning slit sheet 150. In particular, thedeposition source 110 includes acrucible 112 that is filled with adeposition material 115, and acooling block 111 that includes a heater (not shown) that heats thecrucible 112 to vaporize thedeposition material 115, so as to move the vaporizeddeposition material 115 to the depositionsource nozzle unit 120. Thecooling block 111 is contained in thecrucible 112. The depositionsource nozzle unit 120, which has a planar shape, is disposed at a side of thedeposition source 110. The depositionsource nozzle unit 120 includes a plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 arranged in the Y-axis direction. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 and aframe 155 are further disposed between thedeposition source 110 and thesubstrate 500. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 includes a plurality of patterning slits 151 arranged in the X-axis direction. In addition, thedeposition source 110 and the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 may be connected to thepatterning slit sheet 150 by a second connection member 133 (illustrated inFIG. 11 ). - A plurality of
deposition source nozzles 121 formed on the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 are tilted at a predetermined angle, unlike the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 described with reference toFIG. 6 . In particular, thedeposition source nozzles 121 may includedeposition source nozzles deposition source nozzles deposition source nozzles - The
deposition source nozzles deposition source nozzles 121 a in a first row and thedeposition source nozzles 121 b in a second row may be tilted to face each other. That is, thedeposition source nozzles 121 a of the first row in a left part of the depositionsource nozzle unit 121 may be tilted to face a right side portion of thepatterning slit sheet 150, and thedeposition source nozzles 121 b of the second row in a right part of the depositionsource nozzle unit 121 may be tilted to face a left side portion of thepatterning slit sheet 150. - Due to the structure of the thin
film deposition assembly 100 according to the current embodiment, the deposition of thedeposition material 115 may be adjusted to lessen a thickness variation between the center and the end portions of thesubstrate 500 and improve thickness uniformity of the deposition film. Moreover, utilization efficiency of thedeposition material 115 may also be improved. -
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a thin film deposition assembly according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 10 , the thin film deposition apparatus includes a plurality of thin film deposition assemblies, each of which has the structure of the thinfilm deposition apparatus 100 illustrated inFIGS. 6 through 8 . In other words, the thin film deposition apparatus illustrated inFIG. 10 may include a multi-deposition source that simultaneously discharges deposition materials for forming a red (R) emission layer, a green (G) emission layer, and a blue (B) emission layer. - In particular, the thin film deposition apparatus includes a first thin
film deposition assembly 100, a second thinfilm deposition assembly 200, and a third thinfilm deposition assembly 300. Each of the first thinfilm deposition assembly 100, the second thinfilm deposition assembly 200, and the third thinfilm deposition assembly 300 has the same structure as the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 described with reference toFIGS. 6 through 8 , and thus a detailed description thereof will not be provided here. - The deposition sources 110 of the first thin
film deposition assembly 100, the second thinfilm deposition assembly 200 and the third thinfilm deposition assembly 300 may contain different deposition materials, respectively. The first thinfilm deposition assembly 100 may contain a deposition material for forming the R emission layer, the second thinfilm deposition assembly 200 may contain a deposition material for forming the G emission layer, and the third thinfilm deposition assembly 300 may contain a deposition material for forming the B emission layer. - In other words, in a conventional method of manufacturing an organic light-emitting display apparatus, a separate chamber and mask are used to form each color emission layer. However, when the thin film deposition apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is used, the R emission layer, the G emission layer and the B emission layer may be formed at the same time with a single multi-deposition source. Thus, the time it takes to manufacture the organic light-emitting display apparatus is significantly reduced. In addition, the organic light-emitting display apparatus may be manufactured with a reduced number of chambers, so that equipment costs are also markedly reduced.
- Although not illustrated, a patterning slit sheet of the first thin
film deposition assembly 100, a patterning slit sheet of the second thinfilm deposition assembly 200, a patterning slit sheet of the third thinfilm deposition assembly 300 may be arranged to be offset by a constant distance with respect to each other, in order for deposition regions corresponding to the patterning slit sheets not to overlap on thesubstrate 500. In other words, when the first thinfilm deposition assembly 100, the second thinfilm deposition assembly 200, and the third thinfilm deposition assembly 300 are used to deposit an R emission layer, a G emission layer and a B emission layer, respectively, patterning slits of the first thinfilm deposition assembly 100, patterning slits of the second thinfilm deposition assembly 200, and patterning slits of the second thinfilm deposition assembly 300 are arranged not to be aligned with each other, in order to form the R emission layer, the G emission layer and the B emission layer in different regions of thesubstrate 500. - In addition, the deposition materials for forming the R emission layer, the G emission layer, and the B emission layer may have different deposition temperatures. Therefore, the temperatures of the deposition sources of the respective first, second, and third thin
film deposition assemblies - Although the thin film deposition apparatus illustrated in
FIG. 10 according to a embodiment of the present invention includes three thin film deposition assemblies, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, a thin film deposition apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of thin film deposition assemblies, each of which contains a different deposition material. For example, a thin film deposition apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention may include five thin film deposition assemblies respectively containing materials for a R emission layer, a G emission layer, a B emission layer, an auxiliary layer (R′) of the R emission layer, and an auxiliary layer (G′) of the G emission layer. - As described above, a plurality of thin layers may be formed at the same time with a plurality of thin film deposition assemblies, and thus manufacturing yield and deposition efficiency are improved. In addition, the overall manufacturing process is simplified, and the manufacturing costs are reduced.

FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a thinfilm deposition assembly 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention,FIG. 12 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 ofFIG. 11 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 13 is a schematic plan view of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 ofFIG. 11 , according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 11 through 13 , the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 includes adeposition source 110, a depositionsource nozzle unit 120, abarrier wall assembly 130, and patterning slits 151. - Although a chamber is not illustrated in
FIGS. 11 through 13 for convenience of explanation, all the components of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 may be disposed within a chamber that has an appropriate degree of vacuum maintained therein. The chamber has an appropriate vacuum maintained therein in order to allow a deposition material to move in a substantially straight line through the thinfilm deposition assembly 100. - The
substrate 500, which constitutes a target on which adeposition material 115 is to be deposited, is conveyed into the chamber by using theelectrostatic chuck 600. Thesubstrate 500 may be a substrate for flat panel displays. A large substrate, such as a mother glass, for manufacturing a plurality of flat panel displays, may be used as thesubstrate 500. - Deposition may be performed while the
substrate 500 or the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 is moved relative to the other. Thesubstrate 500 may be moved relative to the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 in a direction A. - Like in the above-described embodiment of
FIG. 6 , in the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 according to the current embodiment of the present invention, thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be significantly smaller than a FMM used in the conventional deposition method. In other words, in the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, deposition is continuously performed, i.e., in a scanning manner while thesubstrate 500 is moved in the Y-axis direction. Thus, if a width of thepatterning slit sheet 150 in the X-axis direction is substantially the same as a width of thesubstrate 500 in the X-axis direction, a length of thepatterning slit sheet 150 in the Y-axis direction may be significantly less than a length of thesubstrate 500 in the Y-axis direction. Of course, even when the width of thepatterning slit sheet 150 in the X-axis direction is less than the width of thesubstrate 500 in the X-axis direction, deposition may be sufficiently performed on the entire surface of thesubstrate 500 in a scanning manner due to relative movement of thesubstrate 500 and the thinfilm deposition assembly 100. - As described above, since the
patterning slit sheet 150 may be formed to be significantly smaller than an FMM used in the conventional deposition method, it is relatively easy to manufacture thepatterning slit sheet 150 used in an aspect of the present invention. In other words, using thepatterning slit sheet 150, which is smaller than an FMM used in the conventional deposition method, is more convenient in all processes, including etching and subsequent other processes, such as precise extension, welding, moving, and cleaning processes, compared to the conventional deposition method using the larger FMM. This is more advantageous for a relatively large display apparatus. - The
deposition source 110 that contains and heats thedeposition material 115 is disposed in an opposite side of the chamber to the side in which thesubstrate 500 is disposed. - The
deposition source 110 includes acrucible 112 that is filled with thedeposition material 115, and acooling block 111 that surrounds thecrucible 112. Thecooling block 111 prevents radiation of heat from thecrucible 112 to outside, i.e., into the chamber. Thecooling block 111 may include a heater (not shown) that heats thecrucible 112. - The deposition
source nozzle unit 120 is disposed at a side of thedeposition source 110, and in particular, at the side of thedeposition source 110 facing thesubstrate 500. The depositionsource nozzle unit 120 includes a plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 arranged in the X-axis direction. Thedeposition material 115 that is vaporized in thedeposition source 110 passes through the plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 of the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 towards thesubstrate 500. - The
barrier wall assembly 130 is disposed at a side of the depositionsource nozzle unit 120. Thebarrier wall assembly 130 includes a plurality ofbarrier walls 131, and abarrier wall frame 132 that constitutes an outer wall of thebarrier walls 131. The plurality ofbarrier walls 131 may be arranged parallel to each other at equal intervals in the X-axis direction. In addition, each of thebarrier walls 131 may be formed to extend in an YZ plane inFIG. 11 , i.e., perpendicular to the X-axis direction. The plurality ofbarrier walls 131 arranged as described above partition the space between the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 into a plurality of sub-deposition spaces S (illustrated inFIG. 13 ). In the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, the deposition space is divided by thebarrier walls 131 into the sub-deposition spaces S that respectively correspond to thedeposition source nozzles 121 through which thedeposition material 115 is discharged, as illustrated inFIG. 13 . - The
barrier walls 131 may be respectively disposed between adjacent deposition source nozzles 121. In other words, each of thedeposition source nozzles 121 may be disposed between twoadjacent barrier walls 131. Thedeposition source nozzles 121 may be respectively located at the midpoint between twoadjacent barrier walls 131. However, aspects of the present invention are not limited thereto, and thedeposition source nozzles 121 may be disposed otherwise. The plurality ofdeposition source nozzles 121 may be disposed between twoadjacent barrier walls 131. Even in this case, thedeposition source nozzles 121 may be respectively located at the midpoint between twoadjacent barrier walls 131. - As described above, since the
barrier walls 131 partition the space between the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 into the plurality of sub-deposition spaces S, thedeposition material 115 discharged through each of the deposition source nozzles 121 is not mixed with thedeposition material 115 discharged through the otherdeposition source nozzles 121, and passes throughpatterning slits 151 so as to be deposited on thesubstrate 500. In other words, thebarrier walls 131 guide thedeposition material 115, which is discharged through thedeposition source nozzles 121, to move in a substantially straight line through the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, and not to flow in the Z-axis direction. - As described above, the
deposition material 115 is forced to move in a substantially straight line through the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 by installing thebarrier walls 131, so that a smaller shadow zone may be formed on thesubstrate 500 compared to a case where no barrier walls are installed. Thus, the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 and thesubstrate 500 can be separated from each other by a predetermined distance. This will be described later in detail. - The
barrier wall frame 132, which forms upper and lower sides of thebarrier walls 131, maintains the positions of thebarrier walls 131, and guides thedeposition material 115, which is discharged through thedeposition source nozzles 121, to move in a substantially straight line through the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, and not to flow in the Y-axis direction. - The deposition
source nozzle unit 120 and thebarrier wall assembly 130 may be separated from each other by a predetermined distance. Thus, heat dissipated from thedeposition source 110 may be prevented from being conducted to thebarrier wall assembly 130. However, aspects of the present invention are not limited thereto. In other words, when an appropriate insulation unit is disposed between the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thebarrier wall assembly 130, the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thebarrier wall assembly 130 may be combined with each other and may contact each other. - In addition, the
barrier wall assembly 130 may be constructed to be detachable from the thinfilm deposition assembly 100. In order to overcome these problems, in the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, the deposition space is enclosed by using thebarrier wall assembly 130, so that thedeposition material 115 that remains undeposited is mostly deposited within thebarrier wall assembly 130. Thus, since thebarrier wall assembly 130 is constructed to be detachable from the thinfilm deposition assembly 100, when a large amount of thedeposition material 115 lies in thebarrier wall assembly 130 after a long deposition process, thebarrier wall assembly 130 may be detached from the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 and then placed in a separate deposition material recycling apparatus in order to recover thedeposition material 115. Due to the structure of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 according to the present embodiment, a reuse rate of thedeposition material 115 is increased, so that the deposition efficiency is improved, and thus the manufacturing costs are reduced. - The
patterning slit sheet 150 and aframe 155 in which thepatterning slit sheet 150 is bound are disposed between thedeposition source 110 and thesubstrate 500. Theframe 155 may be formed in a lattice shape, similar to a window frame. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 is bound inside theframe 155. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 includes a plurality of patterning slits 151 arranged in the X-axis direction. Thepatterning slit sheet 150 extends in the Y-axis direction. Thedeposition material 115 that is vaporized in thedeposition source 110 and passes through thedeposition source nozzles 121, passes through the patterning slits 151 towards thesubstrate 500. - The
patterning slit sheet 150 is formed of a metal sheet and is bound on theframe 155 in an extended state. The patterning slits 151 are formed as striped slits in thepatterning slit sheet 150 manufactured by etching. - In the thin
film deposition assembly 100, the total number of patterning slits 151 may be greater than the total number of deposition source nozzles 121. In addition, there may be a greater number of patterning slits 151 thandeposition source nozzles 121 disposed between twoadjacent barrier walls 131. The number of the patterning slits 151 may correspond to the number of deposition patterns to be formed on thesubstrate 500. - In addition, the
barrier wall assembly 130 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be formed to be separated from each other by a predetermined distance. Alternatively, thebarrier wall assembly 130 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 may be connected by a separatesecond connection member 133. The temperature of thebarrier wall assembly 130 may increase to 100° C. or higher due to thedeposition source 110 whose temperature is high. Thus, in order to prevent the heat of thebarrier wall assembly 130 from being conducted to thepatterning slit sheet 150, thebarrier wall assembly 130 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance. - As described above, the thin
film deposition assembly 100 performs deposition while being moved relative to thesubstrate 500. In order to move the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 relative to thesubstrate 500, thepatterning slit sheet 150 is separated from thesubstrate 500 by a predetermined distance. In addition, in order to prevent the formation of a relatively large shadow zone on thesubstrate 500 when thepatterning slit sheet 150 and thesubstrate 500 are separated from each other, thebarrier walls 131 are arranged between the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 to force thedeposition material 115 to move in a straight direction. Thus, the size of the shadow zone formed on thesubstrate 500 is significantly reduced. - In particular, in a conventional deposition method using an FMM, deposition is performed with the FMM in close contact with a substrate in order to prevent formation of a shadow zone on the substrate. However, when the FMM is used in close contact with the substrate, defects, such as scratched patterns that have been already formed over the substrate due to the contact between the substrate and the FMM, occur. In addition, in the conventional deposition method, the size of the mask has to be the same as the size of the substrate since the mask cannot be moved relative to the substrate. Thus, the size of the mask has to be increased as display apparatuses become larger. However, it is not easy to manufacture such a large mask.
- In order to overcome this problem, in the thin
film deposition assembly 100 according to an aspect of the present invention, thepatterning slit sheet 150 is disposed to be separated from thesubstrate 500 by a predetermined distance. This may be facilitated by installing thebarrier walls 131 to reduce the size of the shadow zone formed on thesubstrate 500. - When a patterning slit sheet is formed to be smaller than a substrate according to an aspect of the present invention and then, the patterning slit sheet is moved relative to the substrate a large mask like in the conventional deposition method using the FMM does not need to be manufactured. In addition, since the substrate and the patterning slit sheet are separated from each other by a predetermined distance, defects caused due to the contact between the substrate and the patterning slit sheet may be prevented. In addition, since it is unnecessary to use the patterning slit sheet in close contact with the substrate during a deposition process, the manufacturing speed may be improved.
- In the thin
film deposition assembly 100, thedeposition source 110 may be accommodated in asource chamber 113 connected to afirst chamber 731 in which deposition is to be performed, as illustrated inFIGS. 14A and 14B . - In other words, the
separate source chamber 113 is connected to thefirst chamber 731 in which deposition is to be performed, and the space between thesource chamber 113 and thefirst chamber 731 is opened or closed by a high-vacuum valve 118. - In order to refill a deposition material in the
deposition source 110 after a deposition process is completed, thefirst chamber 731 should be maintained under atmospheric pressure. However, when thefirst chamber 731 is maintained under atmospheric pressure to refill thedeposition source 110, and then is maintained in a vacuum state so as to perform a new deposition process, this process takes a long time and production time increases. - To this end, in an embodiment of the present invention, a
stage 114 that supports thedeposition source 110 is disposed in thesource chamber 113, and thestage 114 is connected to bellows 116. Thestage 114 is driven as thebellows 116 is driven. Thus, thedeposition source 110 can be moved between thesource chamber 113 and thefirst chamber 731. - A
shutter 117 is disposed around thedeposition source 110, and when thedeposition source 110 is raised into thefirst chamber 731, theshutter 117 blocks a connection opening to thesource chamber 113 so as to prevent thesource chamber 113 from being contaminated due to the deposition material, as illustrated inFIG. 14A . After the deposition process is completed, thedeposition source 110 is lowered into thesource chamber 113 when theshutter 117 is opened, and thesource chamber 113 is closed by the high-vacuum valve 118 in an air-tight state with respect to thefirst chamber 731, as illustrated inFIG. 14B . In this state, the state of thesource chamber 113 is changed to be under atmospheric pressure, and a separate door (not shown) disposed in thesource chamber 113 is opened, so that thedeposition source 110 may be taken out from thesource chamber 113 to refill the deposition material in thedeposition source 110. According to the structure, the deposition material may be easily filled in thedeposition source 110 without exhausting thefirst chamber 173. - In addition, the thin
film deposition assembly 100 may be mounted on thesecond support 614, as illustrated inFIG. 4 . In this regard, asecond driving unit 618 is disposed on thesecond support 614, and thesecond driving unit 618 is connected to theframe 155 of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 and finely adjusts the position of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 so that thesubstrate 500 and the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 may be aligned with each other. Fine adjustment of the alignment may be performed in real-time while the deposition process is being performed. - The thin
film deposition assembly 100 may further include acamera assembly 170 for aligning thesubstrate 500 and the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 with each other, as illustrated inFIGS. 11 and 13 . Thecamera assembly 170 is used to align afirst mark 159 formed on theframe 155 and asecond mark 501 formed on thesubstrate 500 with each other in real-time. - The
camera assembly 170 may obtain a wide view area within a vacuum chamber in which the deposition process is performed, as illustrated inFIG. 10 . In other words, as illustrated inFIG. 15 , acamera 172 is disposed in acylindrical hood 171, and anoptical system 173 including a lens is disposed between thecamera 172 and anopening 176 of thehood 171. Aprotection window 174 on whichheating patterns 175 are formed, is disposed between theoptical system 173 and theopening 176. While the deposition process is performed by using theheating patterns 175, an organic material is not deposited on the surface of theprotection window 174. Thus, even when the deposition process is performed, thecamera 172 can determine the alignment via theprotection window 174 within the vacuum chamber. -
FIG. 16 is a schematic perspective view of a thinfilm deposition assembly 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 16 , the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 includes adeposition source 110, a depositionsource nozzle unit 120, a firstbarrier wall assembly 130, a second barrier wall assembly 140, and apatterning slit sheet 150. - Although a chamber is not illustrated in
FIG. 16 for convenience of explanation, all the components of the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 may be disposed within a chamber that has an appropriate degree of vacuum maintained therein. The chamber has an appropriate vacuum maintained therein in order to allow a deposition material to move in a substantially straight line through the thinfilm deposition assembly 100. - The
substrate 500, which constitutes a target on which adeposition material 115 is to be deposited, is disposed in the chamber. Thedeposition source 110 that contains and heats thedeposition material 115 is disposed in an opposite side of the chamber to the side in which thesubstrate 500 is disposed. - Detailed structures of the
deposition source 110 and thepatterning slit sheet 150 are the same as those ofFIG. 11 and thus a detailed description thereof will not be provided here. The firstbarrier wall assembly 130 is the same as thebarrier wall assembly 130 described with reference to the embodiment ofFIG. 11 and thus a detailed description thereof will not be provided here. - The second barrier wall assembly 140 is disposed at a side of the first
barrier wall assembly 130. The second barrier wall assembly 140 includes a plurality of second barrier walls 141, and a second barrier wall frame 142 that constitutes an outer wall of the second barrier walls 141. - The plurality of second barrier walls 141 may be arranged parallel to each other at equal intervals in the X-axis direction. In addition, each of the second barrier walls 141 may be formed to extend in the YZ plane in
FIG. 16 , i.e., perpendicular to the X-axis direction. - The plurality of
first barrier walls 131 and second barrier walls 141 arranged as described above partition the space between the depositionsource nozzle unit 120 and thepatterning slit sheet 150. In the thinfilm deposition assembly 100 illustrated inFIG. 16 , the deposition space is divided by thefirst barrier walls 131 and the second barrier walls 141 into sub-deposition spaces that respectively correspond to thedeposition source nozzles 121 through which thedeposition material 115 is discharged. - The second barrier walls 141 may be disposed to correspond respectively to the
first barrier walls 131. In other words, the second barrier walls 141 may be respectively disposed to be parallel to and to be on the same plane as thefirst barrier walls 131. Each pair of the corresponding first andsecond barrier walls 131 and 141 may be located on the same plane. Although thefirst barrier walls 131 and the second barrier walls 141 are respectively illustrated as having the same thickness in the X-axis direction, aspects of the present invention are not limited thereto. In other words, the second barrier walls 141, which need to be accurately aligned with thepatterning slit sheet 151, may be formed to be relatively thin, whereas thefirst barrier walls 131, which do not need to be precisely aligned with the patterning slit sheet 550, may be formed to be relatively thick. This makes it easier to manufacture the thinfilm deposition assembly 100. - A plurality of thin
film deposition assemblies 100 as described above may be continuously arranged in thefirst chamber 731, as illustrated inFIG. 1 . In this regard, the first through fourth thinfilm deposition assemblies FIG. 1 ) may deposit different deposition materials. In this regard, patterns of patterning slits of the first through fourth thinfilm deposition assemblies -
FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of an active matrix (AM) organic light-emitting display apparatus manufactured by using a thin film deposition apparatus, according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIG. 17 , the AM organic light-emitting display apparatus is disposed on asubstrate 30. Thesubstrate 30 may be formed of a transparent material, for example, glass, and may be also formed of plastic or metal.
