And the time when the illuminance of the vacuum ultraviolet ray at the coating film surface received by the coating film at the end of the ultraviolet irradiation step is less than 0.1 mW / cm 2 is measured as the end point.
- an aspect in which the ratio of the period T is increased with respect to the entire period of the ultraviolet irradiation process can be obtained by reducing the distance between the plurality of line light sources on the line in the lateral direction.
- a commercially available lamp for example, manufactured by MD Excimer or Ushio Electric
- MD Excimer or Ushio Electric can be used as a vacuum ultraviolet irradiation apparatus used for irradiation of vacuum ultraviolet light.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of a vacuum ultraviolet irradiation apparatus used in the production method of the present invention.
- the base material 1 having a coating film is guided by a temperature-controllable back roll 5, transported in the direction of the arrow, and irradiated with vacuum ultraviolet rays from an excimer lamp 2 facing the transported base material 1.
- the excimer lamp 2 is held by an excimer lamp holding member 3 that also serves as an external electrode in the irradiation chamber 4.
- the irradiation conditions of the present invention can be achieved by appropriately adjusting the lamp type, the number of lamps, the lamp installation interval, the distance between the lamp and the irradiated surface, the oxygen concentration of the irradiation atmosphere, and the like.
- the vacuum ultraviolet light is larger than the interatomic bonding force of most substances, it can be preferably used because the bonding of atoms can be cut directly by the action of only photons called photon processes.
- a rare gas excimer lamp is preferably used.
- noble gas atoms such as Xe, Kr, Ar, Ne and the like are chemically bonded to form a molecule, it is called an inert gas.
- a rare gas atom (excited atom) that has gained energy by discharge or the like can combine with other atoms to form a molecule.
- the rare gas is xenon, e + Xe ⁇ Xe * Xe * + 2Xe ⁇ Xe 2 * + Xe Xe 2 * ⁇ Xe + Xe + h ⁇ (172 nm)
- excimer light of 172 nm is emitted.
- ⁇ Excimer lamps are characterized by high efficiency because radiation concentrates on one wavelength and almost no other light is emitted. Further, since no extra light is emitted, the temperature of the object can be kept low. Furthermore, since no time is required for starting and restarting, instantaneous lighting and blinking are possible.
- Dielectric barrier discharge refers to lightning generated in a gas space by arranging a gas space between both electrodes via a dielectric (transparent quartz in the case of an excimer lamp) and applying a high frequency high voltage of several tens of kHz to the electrode.
- a dielectric transparent quartz in the case of an excimer lamp
- micro discharge when the micro discharge streamer reaches the tube wall (dielectric), electric charge accumulates on the dielectric surface, so the micro discharge disappears.
- This micro discharge is a discharge that spreads over the entire tube wall and repeats generation and extinction. For this reason, flickering of light that can be seen with the naked eye occurs. Moreover, since a very high temperature streamer reaches a pipe wall directly locally, there is a possibility that deterioration of the pipe wall may be accelerated.
- Electrodeless electric field discharge by capacitive coupling, also called RF discharge.
- the lamp and electrodes and their arrangement may be basically the same as for dielectric barrier discharge, but the high frequency applied between the two electrodes is lit at several MHz. Since the electrodeless field discharge can provide a spatially and temporally uniform discharge in this way, a long-life lamp without flickering can be obtained.
- an electrode in which a thin metal wire is meshed is used. Since this electrode uses as thin a line as possible so as not to block light, it is easily damaged by ozone generated by vacuum ultraviolet light in an oxygen atmosphere.
- Synthetic quartz windows are not only expensive consumables, but also cause light loss.
- the outer diameter of the double-cylindrical lamp is about 25 mm, the difference in distance to the irradiation surface cannot be ignored directly below the lamp axis and on the side of the lamp, resulting in a large difference in illuminance. Therefore, even if the lamps are arranged in close contact, a uniform illuminance distribution cannot be obtained. If the irradiation device is provided with a synthetic quartz window, the distance in the oxygen atmosphere can be made uniform, and a uniform illuminance distribution can be obtained.
- the biggest feature of the capillary excimer lamp is its simple structure.
- the quartz tube is closed at both ends, and only gas for excimer light emission is sealed inside.
- the outer diameter of the tube of the thin tube lamp is about 6 nm to 12 mm. If it is too thick, a high voltage is required for starting.
- the discharge mode can be either dielectric barrier discharge or electrodeless field discharge.
- the electrode may have a flat surface in contact with the lamp, but if the shape is matched to the curved surface of the lamp, the lamp can be firmly fixed and the discharge is more stable when the electrode is in close contact with the lamp. Also, if the curved surface is made into a mirror surface with aluminum, it also becomes a light reflector.
- the Xe excimer lamp emits ultraviolet light having a short wavelength of 172 nm at a single wavelength and thus has excellent luminous efficiency. Since this light has a large oxygen absorption coefficient, it can generate radical oxygen atom species and ozone at a high concentration with a very small amount of oxygen.
- the high energy of this active oxygen, ozone and ultraviolet radiation can improve the polysilazane layer in a short time.
- Excimer lamps can be lit with low power input because of their high light generation efficiency.
- light having a long wavelength that causes a temperature rise due to light is not emitted, and energy is irradiated at a single wavelength in the ultraviolet region, so that the rise in the surface temperature of the object to be fired is suppressed.
- it is suitable for flexible film materials such as PET that are easily affected by heat.
- Oxygen concentration during irradiation with vacuum ultraviolet rays (VUV) Oxygen is required for the reaction at the time of ultraviolet irradiation, but vacuum ultraviolet rays are absorbed by oxygen, so the efficiency in the ultraviolet irradiation process is likely to decrease. Preferably.
