Abstract

A deposition apparatus is disclosed. In one aspect, the apparatus includes a metal sheet of which an edge portion is integrally combined with a sheet frame and an electrostatic chuck attached to a bottom surface of the metal sheet and configured to pull a substrate based on a static electricity force. The apparatus also includes a metal mask placed below the electrostatic chuck, wherein an edge portion of the metal mask is combined with a mask frame, and wherein the metal mask has a predetermined patterned opening where the substrate is mounted to the upper surface thereof. The apparatus further includes a magnet plate placed above the metal sheet, and configured to pull the metal mask based on a magnetic force so as to attach the substrate to the electrostatic chuck.

Claims (16)

1. A deposition apparatus comprising:

a metal sheet of which an edge portion is integrally combined with a sheet frame;

an electrostatic chuck attached to a bottom surface of the metal sheet and configured to Pull a substrate based on a static electricity force;

a metal mask placed below the electrostatic chuck, wherein an edge portion of the metal mask is combined with a mask frame, and wherein the metal mask has a predetermined patterned opening where the substrate is mounted to an upper surface thereof;

a magnet plate placed above the metal sheet, and configured to pull the metal mask based on a magnetic force so as to attach the substrate to the electrostatic chuck wherein the magnet plate, the metal sheet, the electrostatic chuck, the metal mask, and a deposition source are placed inside the chamber, and a deposition source is configured to supply a deposition material to the metal mask.

2. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a sheet frame driver configured to transfer the sheet frame up or down; and

a magnet plate driver configured to transfer the magnet plate up or down.

3. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic chuck comprises a film type of electrostatic chuck.

4. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic chuck is configured to be attached to the metal sheet while being convex downward.

5. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnet plate is formed of a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

6. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal mask comprises a fine metal mask.

7. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metal sheet and the electrostatic chuck have substantially the same curvature.

8. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnet plate is placed directly above the metal sheet.

9. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electrostatic chuck is configured to be placed directly above the substrate.

10. The deposition apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnet plate, the metal sheet, the electrostatic chuck and the metal mask overlap in the direction of the magnetic force.
