APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATION OF THIN FILM ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND CIRCUITS
摘要
<p>Methods and systems for forming layered electronic devices on a flexible, elongated substrate are described. The layered electronic devices include at least one electronically or optically active layer. Deposition of one more layers of the electronic devices occurs as the flexible substrate is moved through one or more deposition stations. At each deposition station the substrate is aligned with an aperture mask having apertures arranged in a pattern. The aperture mask and the substrate are brought into proximity over a portion of a circumference of a rotating drum. A layer of the layered electronic devices is formed by deposition of material through the apertures of the aperture mask. At each deposition station, registration between at least two layers of the layered electronic devices is maintained.</p>
