Abstract:
1. A vapor deposition method comprising the step of forming a film in a predetermined pattern on a film formation target substrate by use of a vapor deposition apparatus, the vapor deposition apparatus comprising: a vapor deposition particle injection device; a vapor deposition mask including through holes, the vapor deposition mask allowing the vapor deposition particles having been injected from the vapor deposition particle injection device to pass through the through holes so that the vapor deposition particles are vapor-deposited onto the film formation target substrate, the vapor deposition mask having an area that is smaller than an area of a vapor deposition target region of the film formation target substrate; and moving means that moves at least one of the film formation target substrate and a set of the vapor deposition particle injection device and the vapor deposition mask relative to the other, in a state where the vapor deposition mask and the film-formed substrate are kept apart by a constant distance from each other, the vapor deposition particle injection device, comprising; a vapor deposition particle generating section generating vapor deposition particles in a gas phase, by heating a vapor deposition material; a vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section provided with a plurality of through holes for emitting the vapor deposition particles generated in the vapor deposition particle generating section, to outside the vapor deposition particle generating section; and at least one intermediate nozzle section including a plurality of through holes, and being provided between the vapor deposition particle generating section and the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section so as to be apart from the vapor deposition particle generating section and the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section and so as to overlap the vapor deposition particle generating section and the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section; the vapor deposition particle generating section, the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section, and the intermediate nozzle section including temperature adjustment members, respectively; the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section being controlled by a corresponding temperature adjustment member so as to be at a temperature that is lower than a temperature at which the vapor deposition material turns into gas; the intermediate nozzle section being controlled by a corresponding temperature adjustment member so as to be at a temperature between a temperature of the vapor deposition particle generating section and the temperature of the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section, wherein the sequence comprising the step of: constructing a vapor deposition apparatus comprising a vapor deposition particle generating section, an intermediate nozzle section and a vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section; connecting temperature adjustment members to each corresponding section; configuring a temperature in the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section by the corresponding temperature adjustment member so as to be at a temperature that is lower than a temperature at which vapor deposition material turns into gas; configuring a temperature in the intermediate nozzle section by the corresponding temperature adjustment member so as to be at a temperature between a temperature of the vapor deposition particle generating section and the temperature of the vapor deposition particle emitting nozzle section; generating a vapor deposition particle in the vapor deposition particle generating section by the corresponding temperature adjustment member at a temperature higher than the temperature at the intermediate nozzle section; moving at least one of the film formation target substrate and a set of the vapor deposition particle injection device and a vapor deposition mask relative to the other by moving means, in a state where the vapor deposition mask and the film-formed substrate are kept apart by a constant distance from each other; depositing the vapor deposition particle onto a film formation target substrate by allowing the vapor deposition particles injected from the vapor deposition particle injection device to pass through holes of the vapor deposition mask.
