Patent ID: 7632704

Claim:
A manufacturing method for an organic electronic element, comprising the steps of: (a) forming an organic conductive layer on a lower electrode arranged on a substrate with a vacuum vapor deposition apparatus while holding a surface of the substrate on which the organic conductive layer is formed downward; (b) forming an upper electrode on the organic conductive layer with a sputtering apparatus while holding the surface of the substrate on which the upper electrode is formed downward; (c) inverting the substrate on which the upper electrode has been formed such that the surface to be processed is held upward in a stand-by chamber where moisture content is controlled to arrange the substrate on a substrate holder of a chemical vapor deposition apparatus; (d) repeating steps (a)-(c) on at least one additional substrate and placing each substrate on the substrate holder until a predetermined number of processed substrates is reached; (e) conveying the predetermined number of processed substrates to the chemical vapor deposition apparatus; and (f) forming passivation films collectively, each of which comprises Si and N as a main component, on the predetermined number of processed substrates, wherein time required for forming the passivation layer is longer than time required for forming the upper electrode; the predetermined number of processed substrates is larger than number of the substrates which are individually processed in the step of forming the upper electrode; the stand-by chamber is a separate chamber different from a space for conducting the step of forming the upper electrode and the chemical vapor deposition apparatus; and the substrates are not exposed to air from the step of forming the organic conductive layer to the step of forming the passivation film.
