Abstract

This paper presents a study on fluid flow analysis of organic semiconductor thin film deposition process using the computational numerical method. In the production process, the thickness of deposited organic thin film depends on distribution of nozzle size in the linear cell system, so we analyze to decide the optimal nozzle system for uniform thickness of organic thin film. The results of deposited thickness of thin film by numerical analysis are in good agreement with those of the experimental measurements.
