Abstract

A vacuum evaporator including a vacuum chamber and a source arranged in the vacuum chamber to supply a deposition material to a substrate on which a layer is formed. A crystal sensor measures a deposition speed of the deposition material. The crystal sensor includes an insert having a hole, and the insert is arranged in front of the crystal sensor.

Claims (26)

1. A vacuum evaporator, comprising:

a vacuum chamber;

a source arranged at a bottom of the vacuum chamber, to receive a deposition material therein, the source comprising a heater at an exterior thereof;

a substrate fixture to fix a substrate over the source, the deposition material from the source for deposition on the substrate;

a crystal sensor arranged at a side of the substrate; and

an insert having a hole in front of the crystal sensor.

2. The vacuum evaporator of claim 1 , wherein the deposition material is one of an organic material and an inorganic material.

3. The vacuum evaporator of claim 1 , wherein two inserts are arranged in front of the crystal sensor.

4. The vacuum evaporator of claim 1 , wherein the hole has a diameter in a range of 5 mm to 13 mm.

5. The vacuum evaporator of claim 4 , wherein the hole has a diameter of 8 mm.

6. The vacuum evaporator of claim 4 , wherein the hole has a diameter of 13 mm.

7. The vacuum evaporator of claim 1 , wherein the insert is fixed in front of the crystal sensor by a supporter.

8. The vacuum evaporator of claim 1 , wherein the hole is arranged substantially in a center of the insert.

9. A vacuum evaporator, comprising:

a vacuum chamber;

a source arranged in the vacuum chamber to supply a deposition material to a substrate;

a crystal sensor to measure a deposition speed of the deposition material; and

an insert having a hole, the insert being arranged in front of the crystal sensor.

10. The vacuum evaporator of claim 9 , wherein the deposition material is one of an organic material and an inorganic material.

11. The vacuum evaporator of claim 9 , wherein two inserts are arranged in front of the crystal sensor.

12. The vacuum evaporator of claim 9 , wherein the hole has a diameter in a range of 5 mm to 13 mm.

13. The vacuum evaporator of claim 12 , wherein the hole has a diameter of 8 mm to 13 mm.

14. The vacuum evaporator of claim 9 , wherein the insert is fixed in front of the crystal sensor by a supporter.

15. The vacuum evaporator of claim 9 , wherein the hole is arranged substantially in a center of the insert.

16. The vacuum evaporator of claim 15 , wherein the source is arranged at a bottom of the vacuum chamber, the substrate is arranged over the source, and the crystal sensor is arranged at a side of the substrate.

17. The vacuum evaporator of claim 16 , wherein the insert is fixed in front of the crystal sensor by a supporter, the supporter being coupled with the crystal sensor.
