Abstract
An evaporation apparatus with high utilization efficiency for EL materials and excellent film uniformity is provided. The invention is an evaporation apparatus having a movable evaporation source and a substrate rotating unit, in which the space between an evaporation source holder and a workpiece (substrate) is narrowed to 30 cm or below, preferably 20 cm, more preferably 5 to 15 cm, to improve the utilization efficiency for EL materials. In evaporation, the evaporation source holder is moved in the X-direction or the Y-direction, and the workpiece (substrate) is rotated for deposition. Therefore, film uniformity is improved.
