Abstract
A rotating type thin film deposition apparatus having an improved structure that allows continuous deposition, and a thin film deposition method used by the rotating type thin film deposition apparatus are provided. The rotating type thin film deposition apparatus includes a deposition device; a circulation running unit that runs a deposition target on a circulation track via a deposition region of the deposition device; and a support unit that supports the deposition target and moves along the circulation track. Thin layers can be precisely and uniformly formed on the entire surface of a deposition target, and since deposition is performed while a plurality of deposition targets move along a caterpillar track, a working speed is faster compared to a method involving a general reciprocating motion, and the size of the thin film deposition apparatus can be reduced.
