まず、対象物に蒸着材料を蒸着させる蒸着処理を実施する蒸着装置90について、図1を参照して説明する。図1に示すように、蒸着装置90は、蒸着源(例えばるつぼ94)、ヒータ96、及び蒸着マスク装置10を備える。るつぼ94は、有機発光材料などの蒸着材料98を収容する。ヒータ96は、るつぼ94を加熱して蒸着材料98を蒸発させる。蒸着マスク装置10は、るつぼ94と対向するよう配置されている。
以下、蒸着マスク装置10について説明する。図1に示すように、蒸着マスク装置10は、蒸着マスク20と、蒸着マスク20を支持するフレーム15と、を備える。フレーム15は、蒸着マスク20が撓んでしまうことがないように、蒸着マスク20をその面方向に引っ張った状態で支持する。蒸着マスク装置10は、図1に示すように、蒸着マスク20が、蒸着材料98を付着させる対象物である基板、例えば有機EL基板92に対面するよう、蒸着装置90内に配置される。以下の説明において、蒸着マスク20の面のうち、有機EL基板92側の面を第1面20aと称し、第1面20aの反対側に位置する面を第2面20bと称する。
次に、蒸着マスク20について詳細に説明する。図3に示すように、蒸着マスク20は、有効部21と、有効部21を囲う外枠部24と、を含む。有効部21は、蒸着マスク20の第1面20aから第2面20bに至る複数の貫通孔が形成された部分である。図3に示す例において、蒸着マスク20は、蒸着マスク20が延びる第1方向D1に沿って並ぶ複数の有効部21を備える。一つの有効部21は、一つの有機EL表示装置100の表示領域に対応する。このため、図3に示す蒸着マスク装置10によれば、有機EL表示装置100の多面付蒸着が可能である。

次に、蒸着マスク20を製造する方法について説明する。図11乃至図14は、蒸着マスク20の製造方法を説明する図である。
まず、図11に示すパターン基板50を準備する。パターン基板50は、絶縁性を有する基材51と、基材51上に形成された導電性パターン52と、を有する。導電性パターン52は、第1金属層32に対応するパターンを有する。
次に、導電性パターン52が形成された基材51上に第1めっき液を供給して、導電性パターン52上に第1金属層32を析出させる第1めっき処理工程を実施する。例えば、導電性パターン52が形成された基材51を、第1めっき液が充填されためっき槽に浸す。これによって、図12に示すように、パターン基板50上に、所定のパターンで第1開口部30が設けられた第1金属層32を得ることができる。
次に、基材51上および第1金属層32上に、所定の隙間56を空けてレジストパターン55を形成するレジスト形成工程を実施する。図13は、基材51上に形成されたレジストパターン55を示す断面図である。図13に示すように、レジスト形成工程は、第1金属層32の第1開口部30がレジストパターン55によって覆われるとともに、レジストパターン55の隙間56が第1金属層32上に位置するように実施される。
次に、レジストパターン55の隙間56に第2めっき液を供給して、第1金属層32上に第2金属層37を析出させる第2めっき処理工程を実施する。例えば、第1金属層32が形成された基材51を、第2めっき液が充填されためっき槽に浸す。これによって、図14に示すように、第1金属層32上に第2金属層37を形成することができる。第2めっき処理工程は、例えば、第1金属層32に電流を流すことによって第1金属層32上に第2金属層37を析出させる、いわゆる電解めっき処理工程として実施される。若しくは、第2めっき処理工程は、無電解めっき処理工程であってもよい。
その後、レジストパターン55を除去する除去工程を実施する。例えばアルカリ系剥離液を用いることによって、レジストパターン55を基材51、第1金属層32や第2金属層37から剥離させることができる。
次に、第1金属層32および第2金属層37の組み合わせ体を基材51から分離させる分離工程を実施する。これによって、所定のパターンで第1開口部30が設けられた第1金属層32と、第1開口部30に連通する第2開口部35が設けられた第2金属層37と、を備えた蒸着マスク20を得ることができる。
その他にも、分離工程においては、はじめに、第1金属層32および第2金属層37の組み合わせ体と基材51との間に、分離のきっかけとなる間隙を形成し、次に、この間隙にエアを吹き付け、これによって分離工程を促進してもよい。
次に、上述のようにして得られた蒸着マスク20をフレーム15に溶接する溶接工程を実施する。これによって、蒸着マスク20及びフレーム15を備える蒸着マスク装置10を得ることができる。
次に、蒸着マスク20及びフレーム15を備える蒸着マスク装置10を用いて有機EL基板92などの基板上に蒸着材料98を蒸着させる蒸着方法について説明する。まず、蒸着マスク20が有機EL基板92に対向するよう蒸着マスク装置10を配置する。また、磁石93を用いて蒸着マスク20を有機EL基板92に密着させる。この状態で、蒸着材料98を蒸発させて蒸着マスク20を介して有機EL基板92へ飛来させることにより、蒸着マスク20の貫通孔25に対応したパターンで蒸着材料98を有機EL基板92に付着させることができる。ここで本実施の形態においては、上述のように、外周領域22に位置する貫通孔25の位置が設計からずれてしまうことを抑制することができる。このため、高い位置精度で有機EL基板92に蒸着材料98を付着させることができる。
上述の実施の形態においては、遮蔽部61が、パターン基板50のうち有効部21の外周領域22及び外枠部24に対応する部分と重なる例を示した。しかしながら、遮蔽部61は、パターン基板50のうち少なくとも有効部21の外周領域22に対応する部分と重なっていればよく、外枠部24に対応する部分とは重なっていなくてもよい。例えば、図18及び図19に示すように、めっき処理工程においては、パターン基板50のうち有効部21の外周領域22に対応する部分と重なる遮蔽部61と、パターン基板50のうち有効部21の中央領域23に対応する部分と重なる貫通部62と、を備える複数の遮蔽板60を用いてもよい。この場合、遮蔽板60の間の隙間63が、パターン基板50のうち外枠部24に対応する部分と重なっていてもよい。若しくは、図示はしないが、遮蔽板60は、パターン基板50のうち外枠部24に対応する部分と重なる貫通孔を有していてもよい。
上述の本実施の形態においては、蒸着マスク20が、第1金属層32および第2金属層37という、少なくとも2つの金属層を積層させることによって構成される場合について説明した。しかしながら、これに限られることはなく、蒸着マスク20は、所定のパターンで複数の貫通孔25が形成された1つの金属層27によって構成されていてもよい。以下、図20~図22を参照して、蒸着マスク20が1つの金属層27を備える例について説明する。なお、本変形例においては、蒸着マスク20の第1面20aから第2面20bに至る貫通孔25のうち第1面20a上に位置する部分を第1開口部30と称し、貫通孔25のうち第2面20b上に位置する部分を第2開口部35と称する。
めっき処理によって、図9に示す第1金属層32及び第2金属層37を有する蒸着マスク20を作製した。めっき処理においては、パターン基板50のうち有効部21の外周領域22に対応する部分と重なる遮蔽部61と、パターン基板50のうち有効部21の中央領域23に対応する部分と重なる貫通部62と、を備える遮蔽板60を用いてめっき液の供給を行った。
・蒸着マスク20の長さ:870mm
・蒸着マスク20の幅:66.5mm
・第1方向D1における有効部21の寸法:112.8mm
・第2方向D2における有効部21の寸法:63.5mm
・有効部21における貫通孔25の開口率:20%~60%、例えば39%
・第1面20aにおける貫通孔25の開口寸法S1:29μm
・第2面20bにおける貫通孔25の開口寸法S2:34μm
なお開口率とは、有効部21全体の面積に対する貫通孔25の面積の比率である。

めっき処理の条件が異なること以外は、実施例1の場合と同様にして、めっき処理によって蒸着マスク20を作製した。また、実施例1の場合と同様にして、有効部21の厚みを測定した。また、実施例1の場合と同様にして、実施例2~6に係る蒸着マスク20において、有効部21の外周領域22の貫通孔25の位置の、設計からのずれを評価した。結果を図23に示す。
めっき処理において遮蔽板60を用いなかったこと以外は、実施例1の場合と同様にして、めっき処理によって、比較例1に係る蒸着マスク20を作製した。また、めっき処理において遮蔽板60を用いなかったこと以外は、実施例3の場合と同様にして、めっき処理によって、比較例2に係る蒸着マスク20を作製した。また、めっき処理において遮蔽板60を用いなかったこと以外は、実施例5の場合と同様にして、めっき処理によって、比較例3に係る蒸着マスク20を作製した。また、実施例1の場合と同様にして、比較例1~3に係る蒸着マスク20において、有効部21の外周領域22の貫通孔25の位置の、設計からのずれを評価した。結果を図23に示す。
T1<T2・・・(4)
3σ1<T2/2・・・(5)
一方、実施例2、4及び6においては、上述の関係式(4)、(5)が満たされていなかった。実施例1、3及び5においては、外周領域22に対応する領域におけるめっき液の流れが実施例2、4及び6の場合に比べてより均一になるよう構成された遮蔽板60を用いて、めっき液の供給を行った。具体的には、実施例1、3及び5においては、遮蔽板60の貫通部62の壁面の基材51側の端部が、図24に示すように、基材51の法線方向に対して傾斜した傾斜面64を含んでいた。このため、貫通部62を通った後に基材51上において外周領域22に対応する領域に向かうめっき液の流速がばらつくことを抑制することができ、外周領域22の厚みの標準偏差σ1を小さくすることができたと考えられる。
