Definitions
- the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Substrates are provided for a variety of reasons with a single or multi-layered coating.
- One reason for the coating of substrates is to provide the surface of a body, which consists of a relatively soft material, with a hard coating. Examples of these are plastic spectacle lenses provided with an SiO 2 layer or tools provided with a nitride layer.
- Other coatings serve to transmit or reflect certain wavelengths of light. Such coatings are used in architectural glass. Coatings can also serve to make plastic containers gas impermeable.
- plastic films are often provided with a metallic coating in order to be able to use them as a gas-tight packaging material, for example.
- the coating of the substrates can be done by sputtering, evaporation or other coating methods.
- the evaporation can be carried out by means of electron beams which strike the material to be evaporated. But it is also possible to evaporate material in a crucible or on a heated surface.
- the heated surface may be an evaporative boat heated inductively or by current flow.
- it is known to place the melting point of the evaporator above the vaporization point of the material to be evaporated (GB 360 826).
- evaporator chambers are seen parallel to each other vorge ⁇ , wherein the chambers, as seen from the side, adjacent to each other or overlapping are arranged.
- the evaporator chambers are recesses in the evaporator and are not individually energized. Rather, the entire evaporator is connected to voltage.
- a device for the continuous vapor deposition of strip-shaped substrates in which a plurality of evaporator boats are provided as evaporators, which are arranged perpendicular to the strip running direction and which are moved continuously and supplemented with source material (FR-A 2 052 433).
- a device for the continuous vapor deposition of strip-shaped substrates in which a multiplicity of evaporator boats are arranged at the same distance from one another and in the direction of strip travel and which can be heated by direct current passage (JP-A 01 219 157.
- JP-A 01 219 157 In: Patents Abstracts of Japan, C-660, 29.11.1989, Vol. 13 / NO.536).
- a device for coating a moving and flexible film which comprises a housing and means for evaporating coating material in the housing (GB 2 373 744 A).
- the evaporation means comprise at least one evaporator boat and a device for feeding two elongate elements of coating material onto the evaporator boat (GB 2 373 744 A).
- a vacuum evaporation device for metallizing strip-shaped substrates which has a plurality of evaporation sources, which are heated and supplied with a metal to be evaporated (WO 03/004 720 A1).
- This device has means which move the substrate over the evaporator source and means which supply a metal wire to the evaporator sources.
- Each of the evaporator sources in this case has two recesses which are aligned with each other in the direction in which the substrate moves, and each of the two recesses is supplied with an associated metal wire.
- the object of the invention is to reduce the reciprocal interaction of different evaporator sources and thus to improve the uniformity of the band coating. This object is achieved according to the features of patent claim 1.
- the advantage achieved by the invention is, in particular, that the total Ver ⁇ steam block can be reduced because more evaporator boats fit on the same strip length. This applies to a large extent when the power is supplied from the underside of the evaporator boats.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a vacuum evaporation plant
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail of Fig. 1; 3 shows an evaporator boat in a first side view;
- FIG. 4 shows the evaporator boat of FIG. 3 in a second side view
- FIG. FIG. 5 shows an isolated evaporator boat from the plant according to FIG. 2
- FIG. FIG. 6 two adjacent evaporator boats in the system according to FIG. 2
- FIG. 7 shows an arrangement according to the invention of evaporator boats
- 8 shows the simulation of an evaporator boat by means of two point sources
- Fig. 9 is a graph showing the film thickness distribution of a point source on a coated film
- 10 is a graphical representation of the layer thickness distribution of a line source.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a vacuum chamber 1 in which a coating installation 2 is located.
- This coating installation 2 has an unwinding roll 3, a take-up roll 4 and a coating drum 5.
- the unwinding and winding rollers 3, 4 are mounted in uprights 6, 7.
- the corresponding stator of the coating drum 5 is not shown in the drawing.
- the unwinding roll 3 consists of a wound film 8, which is unwound to the take-up reel 4, wherein it nestles against the underside of the coating drum 5.
- Below the coating drum 5 can be seen two evaporator boats 9, 10, which are arranged on a table 11. Laterally next to the evaporator boats 9, 10 are wire dispenser 12, 13, the z. B.
- the evaporator boats 9, 10 may be provided on its upper side with a recess. However, there are also Kermik evaporator boats with a flat surface. It can be seen here that a plurality of evaporator boats 9, 10, 16 to 23 offset from one another and with their longitudinal axis in the direction of movement of the film 8 are arranged. This staggered arrangement of the evaporator boats 9, 10, 16 to 23 is known from DE 40 27 034 C1. It can also be seen that one aluminum wire 14, 15, 24 to 31 is provided per evaporator boat 9, 10, 16 to 23, which is pushed in by the wire dispenser 12, 13 (FIG.
- the evaporator boat 10 is shown in isolation and in a side view, with the longer side 32 can be seen with the side length 1.
- the shorter sides 33, 34 are connected to a DC or AC voltage source 35. Due to the DC or AC current flowing through the evaporator boat 10, the vaporizer boat 10 heats up such that the tip 36 of the aluminum wire melts. The molten aluminum spreads over the entire surface 37 of the flat surfaced evaporator boat 10 and vaporizes from that surface 37.
- the vaporizer lobe or lobes 38 thereby forming spreads outwardly and settles on the foil 8. It would spread with increasing distance to the evaporator boat if it were not hindered by the film 8.
- This film 8 is located at a distance a from the surface of the evaporator boat 10.
- the density of the particles forming the evaporator lobe or lobes 38 decreases towards the edge zones.
- Fig. 4 shows the same evaporator boat 10 again in a view from above, d. H. in a view from the film 8 on the evaporator boat 10, wherein the film movement is indicated by an arrow 39. It can be seen here that the vaporization cloud 38 assumes an approximately elliptical shape in the height of the foil 8. Arranging several evaporator boats in the manner as shown in FIG. 1 of DE 40 27 034, i. parallel to each other and not offset, then overlap the adjacent evaporation clouds or lobes 38, resulting in an uneven coating on the substrate 8.
- evaporation clouds 38 result, as shown in FIGS shows, ie the evaporation clouds can also have an overlap region 42 here.
- This cut or overlap region 42 produces stripes on the film 8, because the film 8 is subjected to approximately twice the amount of evaporation material in this region.
- the particle density in the edge regions is lower than in the central regions, so that a doubling of the amount of evaporator material does not have to occur.
- FIG. 7 shows an arrangement according to the invention of four evaporator boats 50 to 53, wherein two of these evaporator boats - the evaporator boats 50 and 51 - lie on a first straight line 54 that runs perpendicular to the running direction of the film 8. At a distance x from the straight line 54 and in the running direction of the film 8, a second straight line 55 runs parallel to the straight line 54, on which the two other evaporator boats 52, 53 are arranged.
- the evaporator boats 50, 52 on the first straight line 54 have an overlapping area y with the evaporator boats 52, 53 on the second straight line 55 in the horizontal direction.
- This overlapping region y is selected such that, during dynamic operation, the lower coating of the film 8 produced by the edge regions of the evaporator lobes 60, 61 is compensated by the edge regions of the subsequent evaporator lobes 62, 63 in such a way that the coating of the coating in the central region of the coating Evaporator Keulen 60-69 corresponds.
- the distance x can be kept small in transverse evaporator boats.
- the values for x, y and a are adjusted in such a way that a uniform distribution of the deposited particles arises on the film 8. These values can be determined by experiments. If only two evaporator boats 50, 51 are provided on a straight line 54, the distance l-2y between them is fixed. If the evaporator boats 50, 52 are at different straight lines 54, 55, the distances x and y are determined. In Fig. 8, an evaporator boat 50 is indicated by dashed lines.
- the evaporator boat 50 In order to be able to calculate the layer thickness distribution of the material delivered by this evaporator boat 50 on a film, the evaporator boat 50 will be replaced by two point sources 70, 71, which are arranged symmetrically with respect to an imaginary center line 72.
- the distances of the point sources 70, 71 to the center line 72 are denoted by c, wherein in a model calculation a practical value for c is a distance of 25 mm. can be set. Taking, for example, a value of 180 mm for the distance a from the point sources 70, 71 to the strip 8, the result is a layer thickness distribution, as shown in FIGS.
- this layer thickness distribution is due to the fact that in a high-rate evaporation, the ascending vapor cloud or vapor lobe spread, since many atoms leave the surface of the evaporator 50 and thereby the free path length of the atoms decreases. As a consequence of this, the atoms collide with one another and change their direction of movement into spaces in which a free path length is still present, which results in a broadening of the vapor cloud or steam lobe. This effect occurs not only with an evaporator boat 50, but with all evaporator boats 50-53, so that in the areas where the evaporator lobes overlap between the evaporator boats 50-53, centers of high vapor densities can arise.
- the distribution of the Generalchen ⁇ density on a substrate at a distance of 180 mm from the evaporator boat 50 is indicated by means concentric rings.
- the layer thickness is 75% at 80% of the setpoint.
- the next inwardly directed ring 76 has a layer thickness which contributes 80% at 85% of the nominal value, while the further inwardly directed ring 77 has a layer thickness of 85% at 90% of the nominal value.
- the next ring 78 indicates a layer thickness of 90% at 95% of the nominal value, while the inner circle 79 indicates a layer thickness of 95% at 100%.
- the region 80 has a distribution of 50% -55%, while the region 81 has a distribution of 55% -60%.
- the ranges 82 to 90 have distributions of 60% - 65% and 65% - 70% and 70% - 75% and 75% - 80% and 80% - 85% and 85% - 90%, respectively. 90% - 95% and 95% - 100%, respectively.
