Abstract

According to one embodiment, a deposition device includes a stage, a deposition head opposed to the stage, and a chamber accommodating the stage and the deposition head. The deposition head comprises a deposition source heating a material and generating vapor, a nozzle connected to the deposition source to emit the vapor generated by the deposition source, a control plate comprising a sleeve surrounding the nozzle, and a movement mechanism moving the control plate along an extension direction of the sleeve.

Claims (18)

1 . A deposition device comprising:

a first deposition head configured to deposit a first material on a processing substrate; and

a second deposition head configured to deposit a second material on the processing substrate on which the first material is deposited,

each of the first deposition head and the second deposition head comprising:

a deposition source heating the material and generating vapor;

a nozzle connected to the deposition source to emit the vapor generated by the deposition source; and

a sleeve surrounding the nozzle and further extending to the processing substrate than a tip of the nozzle,

a distance from the tip of the nozzle to a tip of the sleeve in the second deposition head being smaller than a distance from the tip of the nozzle to a tip of the sleeve in the first deposition head.

2 . The deposition device of claim 1 , wherein

a spread angle of the vapor of the second material emitted from the second deposition head is larger than a spread angle of the vapor of the first material emitted from the first deposition head.

3 . The deposition device of claim 1 , wherein

each of the first deposition head and the second deposition head further comprises a moving mechanism which moves a control plate comprising the sleeve along an extension direction of the sleeve.

4 . The deposition device of claim 1 , wherein

the first material is a material for forming a lower layer of an organic layer constituting an organic EL element, and

the second material is a material for forming an upper electrode of the organic layer constituting the organic EL element.

5 . The deposition device of claim 1 , wherein

the first material is a material for forming an organic layer constituting an organic EL element, and

the second material is a material for forming an upper electrode constituting the organic EL element.
