FLUID CONVEYANCE SYSTEM INCLUDING FLEXIBLE RETAINING MECHANISM

摘要

A fluid conveyance system for thin film material deposition includes a fluid distribution manifold and a substrate transport mechanism. The fluid distribution manifold includes an output face that includes a plurality of elongated slots. The output face of the fluid distribution manifold is positioned opposite a first surface of the substrate such that the elongated slots face the first surface of the substrate and are positioned proximate to the first surface of the substrate. The substrate transport mechanism causes a substrate to travel in a direction and includes a flexible mechanism that contacts a second surface of the substrate in a region that is proximate to the output face of the fluid distribution manifold.
