Patent
CA 2135125
The invention provides a film deposition apparatus comprising a vacuum chamber provided with a partitioning means for dividing the vacuum chamber into a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber, the partitioning means including an opening for introducing a vacuum conductance for molecular flows between the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber so that a pressure difference can be created between the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber even when the opening is open. A gate valve is provided on the partitioning means for hermetically closing the opening of the partitioning means so as to shut off the molecular flows between the first sub-chamber and the second sub-chamber. At least two evaporation source sets each comprising at least one K cell are provided in the vacuum chamber in communication with an internal space of the vacuum chamber and designed to deposit a thin film at different deposition positions in the second sub-chamber and a main evacuating means is coupled to the first sub-chamber for evacuating the first sub-chamber to an ultra high vacuum. A rotatable sample holder is located within the second sub-chamber having at least two heads for holding substrate to be deposited so as to face different directions, the sample holder is rotatable so that the heads can be situated at the different deposition positions. The apparatus further comprises means for heating the substrates, a gas supplying means provided in the second sub-chamber so as to supply a predetermined gas to the second sub-chamber and an auxiliary evacuating means coupled to the second sub-chamber for evacuating the second sub-chamber to an ultra-high vacuum even when the gate valve is closed.
