MASK ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17949346 titled 'MASK ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a mask assembly that includes a frame with a frame opening and a mask attached to the frame. The mask has a body portion with upper and lower surfaces, deposition openings, protrusions surrounding the deposition openings, and step formation patterns overlapping the protrusions.
- The mask assembly includes a frame with a frame opening.
- A mask is attached to the frame.
- The mask has a body portion with upper and lower surfaces.
- The body portion has deposition openings spaced apart from each other.
- Protrusions protrude from the upper surface of the mask and surround the deposition openings.
- The mask also includes at least one step formation pattern that overlaps the protrusions in a plan view and is located in the body portion.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Semiconductor manufacturing: The mask assembly can be used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices, where precise deposition of materials is crucial.
- Microelectronics: The mask assembly can be utilized in the production of microelectronic components, ensuring accurate deposition of materials.
- Optics: The mask assembly may find applications in the manufacturing of optical devices, where precise deposition patterns are required.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Accurate deposition: The mask assembly allows for precise deposition of materials due to the arrangement of deposition openings, protrusions, and step formation patterns.
- Uniformity: The design of the mask assembly ensures uniform deposition across the surface, reducing variations in the deposited material.
- Efficiency: The mask assembly enables efficient deposition processes by providing a well-structured and controlled deposition pattern.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved manufacturing quality: The precise deposition enabled by the mask assembly leads to higher quality and more reliable products.
- Enhanced productivity: The uniform deposition and efficient processes provided by the mask assembly contribute to increased productivity in manufacturing.
- Cost savings: The accurate and controlled deposition reduces material waste and improves yield, resulting in cost savings for manufacturers.
Original Abstract Submitted
A mask assembly includes a frame including a frame opening, and a mask disposed on the frame. The mask includes a body portion including an upper surface and a lower surface opposing each other and deposition openings spaced apart from each other, protrusions protruding from the upper surface and surrounding the corresponding deposition openings, and at least one step formation pattern overlapping the protrusions in a plan view and disposed in the body portion.
