Abstract: There are provided a mask processing method and a mask processing apparatus for reusing a mask used in an organic material deposition process. The mask processing method includes: (a) forming a sacrificial layer on a mask in a first chamber; (b) transferring the mask to a second chamber in which a substrate is disposed, and then processing the substrate using the mask; and (c) removing the sacrificial layer on the mask.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for depositing a protection film of a light-emitting element, the method comprising the steps of: depositing a first protection layer on a light-emitting element of a substrate by means of the atomic layer deposition method; and depositing at least one additional protection layer on the first protection layer by means of the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a passivation film deposition method for a light-emitting diode, comprising the steps of: depositing, on an upper part of a light-emitting diode of a substrate, a first passivation film having a silicon nitride (SiNx); and depositing, on an upper part of the first passivation film, a second passivation film having a silicon oxide (SiOx), wherein the ratio of the thickness of the first passivation film to the thickness of the second passivation film is 0.2-0.4:1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of depositing a protection film for a light-emitting element, the method comprising the steps of: depositing a first inorganic protection layer on a light-emitting element on a substrate; and depositing a second inorganic protection layer, having comparatively smaller internal stress than the first inorganic protection layer, on the first inorganic protection layer.

Abstract: A thin film deposition apparatus is provided. The thin film deposition apparatus prevents powders from being generated by a gas supply unit for supplying process gas when a thin film is deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD).

Abstract: A method of modulating the human meridian system using a small bar magnet is provided. In the method of modulating the human meridian system, the small bar magnet has a length of 3 cm or less and a coercivity of 1000 gauss or greater. The meridian system is modulated by attaching the small bar magnet to the skin or hypodermically implanting the small bar magnet, such that the direction of flow of a magnetic force of the magnet is the same as or opposite to the direction of flow of the meridian system. The method, which can replace traditional acupuncture and/or moxibustion for modulating the human meridian system, allows ordinary people to use the same in a risk-free, safe and simple manner without causing pain to a body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a porous ceramic body with excellent thermal insulation property. The inventive method comprises: an impregnation step in which a polymer sponge having a three-dimensional porous network structure with open cells is immersed in an inorganic adhesive, such that the polymer sponge is completely impregnated with the inorganic adhesive; a dewatering step in which the inorganic adhesive is partially removed from the polymer sponge impregnated with the inorganic adhesive, such that the polymer sponge contains the inorganic adhesive at a amount selected according to the desired density of the porous ceramic body; and a drying step in which the polymer sponge from which the inorganic adhesive had been partially removed in the dewatering step is dried so as to cure the inorganic adhesive.
