    Abstract:

    The fine metal mask (FMM) used for the OLED deposition process was fabricated using an electroforming technique, by which Fe-Ni and Fe-Ni-P Invar alloy were electrodeposited on a patterned cathode and then peeled off from it. The coefficient of thermal expansion in the final product of FMM with a thickness of 7µm approached that of the commercially produced Invar alloy using the metallurgical method. The electroformed FMM consists of nanometer-sized grains ranging between 10 and 15 nm. In the Fe-Ni binary Invar electrodeposit, abnormal grain growth took place in heating beyond 380oC and resulted in the texture change from <100>//ND, the major component in the as-deposited state, to the strong development of <111>//ND. This microstructural change indicates a limit of thermal stability in the practical applications. Fe-Ni-P ternary Invar FMM fabricated by addition of phosphorus in electroforming exhibited higher thermal stability due to different microstructures.
