Abstract:
1. A vapor deposition system comprising: a chamber; a vapor depositing source; a recovery container; a transfer path for connecting the vapor depositing source to the recovery container; and a flow path switching unit for switching between a first flow path for releasing a vapor deposition material evaporated from the vapor depositing source into the chamber and a second flow path for causing the vapor deposition material evaporated from the vapor depositing source to flow from the vapor depositing source through the transfer path into the recovery container, wherein the first flow path is conducted to the vapor depositing source by an opening at one end of the first flow path, the opening disposed on an upper portion of the vapor depositing source; the transfer path is conducted to the vapor depositing source by a vapor deposition material inlet at one end of the transfer path, the vapor deposition material inlet disposed on a side wall of the vapor depositing source; the flow path switching unit is a cover hinged on and rotated around a shaft and is disposed in the vapor depositing source; and when the cover covers the vapor deposition material inlet, the transfer path is cut off, whereby the vapor deposition material flows into the first flow path, and when the cover covers the opening, the first flow path is cut off, whereby the vapor deposition material flows into the second flow path through the transfer path.
