参阅图1,图1为本发明优选实施例中蒸镀装置的第一种立体结构示意图。如图1所示,本优选实施例的蒸镀装置,包括蒸发部10、传输管道20以及蒸镀部30。
在本发明实施例中,蒸发部10、传输管道20、蒸镀部30以及喷射口40依次连通。蒸发部10用于对蒸镀材料进行加热蒸发,以在其蒸发腔11内形成蒸发气体。传输管道20用于将该蒸发腔11中形成的蒸发气体传输到蒸镀部30的蒸镀腔31内。蒸镀部30用于将其蒸镀腔31内收容的蒸发气体蒸镀到基板上。
在一些实施例中,该蒸发部10的蒸发腔11内可设有用于容纳蒸镀材料的坩埚,坩埚内可放置加热丝,以对蒸镀材料进行加热蒸发形成蒸发气体。一般地,该蒸发材料呈结晶态。
具体地,蒸镀部30具有一壁体32,该壁体32上设置有与蒸镀腔31连通的喷射口40,以用于将蒸镀腔内31的蒸发气体喷射到基板上。如图1所示,该喷射口40可以为一个个呈圆管状的通芯管。实际应用中,该喷射口40还可以为一条沿壁体32设置的狭缝。
本实施例中,该传输管道20包括依次连通的第一管道21、第三管道23、以及第二管道22。如图1到图3所示,第一管道21、第二管道22以及第三管道23可为同轴设置,且均呈圆管状。其中,第三管道23的通道小于第一管道21以及第二管道22的通道。实际应用中,第三管道23的通道可设计为热容较小的狭长区域。
参考图2、图3,具体地,第一管道21的一端与蒸发部10的蒸发腔11连通,第一管道21上设置有第一温控组件60,以用于保持第一管道21内的温度恒定。第二管道22的一端与蒸镀部30的蒸镀腔31连通,第二管道22上设置有第二温控组件70,用于保持第二管道内的温度恒定。
其中,第一温控组件60、第二温控组件70可以包括加热、冷却装置、温度监控装置等,通过温度控制系统精确控制各部分温度。实际应用中,蒸发部10以及蒸镀部30上也可设置有独立的加热、冷却装置、温度监控装置。
第三管道23用于将第一管道21的另一端以及第二管道22的另一端连通。第三管道23上设置有蒸汽压控制组件50,该蒸汽压控制组件50用于在由蒸镀切换为闲置时,控制第三管道23内蒸发气体的蒸汽压降低;由闲置切换为蒸镀时,控制第三管道23内蒸发气体的蒸汽压升高。
其中,蒸汽压控制组件50的设置方式可以多种。比如,如图3所示,蒸汽压控制组件50可包覆第三管道23的外壁面设置。
参考图4和图5,在一些实施方式中,蒸汽压控制组件50可包括控制器、制冷件51以及制热件52。其中,控制器与制冷件51及制热件52电连接。控制器可根据实际情况设置在相应位置。
具体地,由蒸镀切换为闲置时,控制器控制该制冷件51降低第三管道23内的温度,以将第三管道23内蒸发气体的蒸汽压由当前的第一蒸汽压值降低至第二蒸汽压值。由闲置切换为蒸镀时,控制器控制该制热件52升高第三管道23内的温度,以将第三管道内的蒸发气体的蒸汽压由第二蒸汽压值升高至第一蒸汽压值。
继续参考图4和图5,在一些实施方式中,制热件52包覆在第三管道23的外壁上,制冷件51包覆该制热件52。其中,该制热件52可为缠绕第三管道23的电热丝。
参考图6,在一些实施方式中,制冷件51与制热件52之间可设置有保温层53。
参考图7,在一些实施例中,制冷件51可包括外套管511及制冷剂512。外套管511套设在保温层53外,外套管511的内壁与保温层53的外壁形成间隙,以容纳制冷剂。实际应用中,制冷剂512可以为水、氟利昂等物质。
继续参考图7,外套管511可设置有供制冷剂512流入的流入口5111,以及供制冷剂流出的流出口5112。如图7所示,该外套管511内设置有流量阀5113,以用于控制外套管511内制冷剂的流量。
具体应用时,当蒸发源装置由蒸镀切换为闲置后,在蒸汽压控制区(即第三管道23内)实施蒸汽压控制:
首先蒸汽压控制组件50中,控制器控制该制热件52降低制热能力,同时控制制冷件51增加冷却剂512的流量来增强制冷件51冷却能力,以降低通过第三管道23的蒸发气体的蒸汽压。且确保第三管道23内温度保持在蒸发气体无法沉积的温度范围内,以控制蒸发材料的整体蒸发速率,从而降低蒸发部内的蒸镀材料往蒸镀部30输送的速率。通过速率监测装置实时监控材料蒸汽通过蒸汽压控制区域后蒸发材料的蒸发速率变化,并将蒸发速率降低到较低水平。比如,可以利用QCM(Quartz
Crystal Microbalance,英晶体微天平)检测蒸发材料质量变化,从而计算出蒸发速率进行实时监控。
该过程中,第一管道21、第二管道22以及蒸镀部30保持恒定温度的控制模式,蒸发部切换到恒定温度的控制模式,第三管道23内的温度下降,以形成温度梯度。比如,第三管道23内的温度最低,往第一管道21内的温度高于蒸发部10内的温度、第二管道22温度不高于蒸镀部30的温度。其中,第一管道21、第二管道22内的温度相较蒸镀时的温度更高一些,以确保第三管道23内的低温不影响蒸镀部30和蒸发部10内的温度。在此过程中,可通过PID(Proportion-Integral-Derivative,比例微积分调节)控制系统精确温度控制。
另外,在闲置模式结束前,需要解除蒸汽压控制模式,以实施蒸发源装置恒定蒸发速率控制模式的恢复:
首先蒸汽压控制组件50中,控制器控制该制热件52提升制热能力,同时控制终止制冷件51增加冷却剂,以升高通过第三管道23的蒸发气体的蒸汽压。由于蒸汽压上升需要一定时间,因此,在达到正常蒸汽压值之前,控制蒸发部10中加热装置升高其蒸发腔11的温度。通过PID控制系统精确控制各区域温度,使蒸发速率快速恢复到原先的正常水准后,可开始实施镀膜。
由上可知,本发明实施例提供的蒸镀装置,包括蒸发部、传输管道以及蒸镀部;蒸发部用于对蒸镀材料进行加热蒸发,以在其蒸发腔内形成蒸发气体;传输管道用于将该蒸发腔中形成的蒸发气体传输到蒸镀部的蒸镀腔;蒸镀部用于将其蒸镀腔内收容的蒸发气体蒸镀到基板上;该传输管道包括第一管道、第二管道以及第三管道;第一管道的一端与蒸发部的蒸发腔连通,第一管道上设置有第一温控组件,以用于保持第一管道内的温度恒定;第二管道的一端与蒸镀部的蒸镀腔连通,第二管道上设置有第二温控组件,用于保持第二管道内的温度恒定;第三管道用于将第一管道的另一端以及第二管道的另一端连通;第三管道上设置有蒸汽压控制组件,该蒸汽压控制组件用于在由蒸镀切换为闲置时控制第三管道内蒸发气体的蒸汽压降低,由闲置切换为蒸镀时控制第三管道内蒸发气体的蒸汽压升高。该方案在传输管道上设置蒸汽压控制组件,在由蒸镀切换为闲置时控制第三管道内蒸发气体的蒸汽压降低,以减缓蒸发材料的蒸发速率,使得在闲置时蒸发材料的蒸发量减少,从而降低蒸发材料的损耗,提升材料利用率。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
