Abstract

A shadow mask is used for patterning in a film deposition process in which a film deposition material is deposited by vapor deposition or sputtering. The shadow mask includes a first resin film provided on a side facing a film deposition target, a metal part having a slit formed therein and provided on top of the first resin film, and a second resin film provided in such a way as to cover at least a part of a top of the metal part. The second resin film is provided on a side exposed to a film deposition material, and a surface of the second resin film is roughened.

Claims (28)

1. A shadow mask comprising:

a first resin film provided on a side facing a film deposition target;

a metal part having a slit formed therein and provided on top of the first resin film; and

a second resin film provided in such a way as to cover at least a part of a top of the metal part,

wherein the second resin film is provided on a side exposed to a film deposition material, and a surface of the second resin film is roughened.

2. The shadow mask according to claim 1 , wherein the second resin film has an opening corresponding to a pattern to be prepared, at a position overlapping with the slit, and is formed in such a way as to cover the first resin film and the metal part.

3. The shadow mask according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin film has an opening corresponding to a pattern to be prepared, at a position overlapping with the slit, and

the second resin is formed in such a way as to cover the metal part.

4. The shadow mask according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the second resin film is roughened by a laser beam.

5. The shadow mask according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the second resin film is roughened by ashing.

6. The shadow mask according to claim 1 , wherein the second resin film is thinner than the first resin film.

7. A method of manufacturing a shadow mask, the method comprising steps of:

forming a first resin film on a base;

bonding a metal part having a slit provided therein onto the first resin film;

eliminating the first resin film formed at a part of an area where the slit is provided;

forming a second resin film in such a way as to cover the metal part, the first resin film, and the base;

roughening a surface of the second resin film;

forming an opening corresponding to a pattern to be prepared, in the second resin film; and

eliminating the base.

8. A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising steps of:

forming a first resin film on a base;

bonding a metal part having a slit provided therein onto the first resin film;

eliminating the first resin film formed at a part of an area where the slit is provided;

forming a second resin film in such a way as to cover the metal part, the first resin film, and the base;

roughening a surface of the second resin film;

forming an opening corresponding to a pattern to be prepared, in the second resin film;

eliminating the base and obtaining a shadow mask; and

forming a film of the pattern in a display panel, using the shadow mask.
