Patent ID: 10730276

Abstract:
A vacuum system for film lamination, including a vacuum chamber module, a film-pressing module, a substrate susceptor module and a hot-plate heating module, is disclosed, wherein the film-pressing module includes a film-pressing platen, and the substrate susceptor module includes a substrate susceptor supported by a spring-loaded mechanism. During a film-lamination process, the film-pressing platen is actuated to move downwards to attach a laminating film onto a substrate, and the substrate susceptor is actuated to move downwards and finally rest on the hot-plate heating module. Therefore an adhesive glue disposed between the laminating film and the substrate can be thermally cured. After completing the film-lamination process, the film-pressing platen is actuated upwards so that the substrate susceptor also is actuated to move upwards to its initial position by a restoring force exerted by the spring-loaded mechanism. In such manner, the laminating film can be properly bonded to the substrate to avoid lamination defects such as air bubbles and to improve adhesion strength.
