Roll-to-Roll Barrier Coatings on PET Film by Using a Closed Drift Magnetron Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition

Korea institute of materials science (KIMS) use a linear deposition source called as a closed drift linear plasma source (CDLPS) as well as dual magnetron sputtering (DMS) to deposit SiOxCyHz films in $HMDSO/O_2$ plasma. The CDLPS generates linear plasma using closed drifting electrons and can reduce device degradations due to energetic ion bombardments on organic devices such as organic photovoltaic and organic light emission diode by controlling an ion energy. The deposited films are investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is used to measure relative radical populations of dissociation and recombination products such as H, CH, and CO in plasma. And SiOx film is applied to a barrier film on organic photovoltaic devices.
