  • Publication number: 20180148828
    Abstract: In an apparatus for quantifying the amount of evaporation deposition of a solid substance and its method, the apparatus is connected to a reaction chamber, and a solid substance to be evaporated, a heating source and a load cell are disposed in a heating chamber. The load cell is for detecting the weight of the solid substance, and the reduced weight of the solid substance to be evaporated per unit time is equal to the mass flow of the reaction gas, so that the status of the reaction gas can be known by the weight simultaneously. When the solid substance is heated to a state to form the reaction gas, the heating chamber reaches a saturated vapor pressure greater than a vacuum background pressure of the reaction chamber, the reaction gas continues to flow along the pipeline stably towards the reaction chamber to manufacture a thin film.

  • Patent number: 9783881
    Abstract: A linear evaporation apparatus includes a thermal insulation chamber, and crucibles, evaporation material heaters and a mixing chamber installed in the thermal insulation chamber. The mixing chamber includes a flow limiting and adjusting layer, a flow channel adjusting member, a mixed layer and a linear evaporation layer. The flow limiting and adjusting layer is a rectangular sheet with flow limit holes corresponsive to the crucibles respectively; the flow channel adjusting member is an interconnected structure having at least one flow inlet corresponsive to some of the flow limit holes and at least one flow outlet, and the mixed layer is a substantially I-shaped sheet structure, and the linear evaporation layer is a rectangular sheet having a linear source evaporation opening tapered from both ends to the middle, so as to improve the uniformity of the thin film and the utilization of the evaporation materials.

  • Patent number: 9574264
    Abstract: In a method for evaporation depositing uniform thin films, a film is deposited on a substrate of a vacuum environment while maintaining a constant deposition rate. A cover is installed on a wall of the evaporation vessel. When the evaporation material is heated to an evaporation state and the interior of the evaporation vessel reaches a first vapor saturation pressure, the vapor of the evaporation material flows towards a pressure stabilizing chamber. When the pressure stabilizing chamber reaches a second vapor saturation pressure which is smaller than the first vapor saturation pressure, the vacuum environment has a vacuum background pressure which is smaller than the second vapor saturation pressure, so that the evaporation material vapor flows from the pressure stabilizing chamber towards the vacuum environment at constant rate due to the pressure difference, so as to evaporate the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20160155904
    Abstract: A high-conductivity thin-film structure for reducing metal contact resistance is disposed between a substrate and at least a metal electrode of a photoelectric component, characterized in that the thin-film structure has a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer, wherein the first conductive layer is a non-crystalline transparent conductive thin-film deposited on a lateral surface of the substrate, and the second conductive layer is a crystalline transparent conductive thin-film deposited on a lateral surface of the first conductive layer, wherein another surface of the second conductive layer is in contact with the metal electrode to serve as a conduction medium between the first conductive layer and the metal electrode. Therefore, the thin-film structure exhibits high conductivity, high transmittance, low contact resistance toward the metal electrode, and insusceptibility to unfavorable effects of coarseness of the surface of the substrate.
