Abstract: Embodiments relate to a structure for securing a shadow mask and a susceptor where the top surface of the shadow mask mounted with the susceptor is flush with the top surface of the susceptor. When the susceptor is mounted with the shadow mask, the entire top surface of the susceptor and the shadow mask is substantially coplanar. A substrate onto which material is deposited is placed below the shadow mask. The susceptor moves below reactors for injecting materials or radicals. Since the entire top surface of the susceptor is substantially flat, the vertical distance between the reactors and the susceptor can be reduced, contributing to the overall quality of the layer formed on the substrate and reducing the materials wasted by leaking outside the gap between the susceptor and the reactors.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a linear deposition apparatus with mechanism for securing a shadow mask and a substrate onto a susceptor. The linear deposition apparatus includes a set of members attached to latches that are raised to unlock the shadow mask and the substrate from the susceptor. The latches are lowered to secure the shadow mask and the substrate to the susceptor. Another set of members are provided in the linear deposition apparatus to move and align the shadow mask with the substrate. The linear deposition apparatus also includes a main body and two wings provided at both sides of the main body to receive the substrate as the substrate moves linearly to expose the substrate to materials or radicals injected by reactors.
