Abstract

A successive vapor deposition system in which a vapor deposition material is heated, vaporized in a vacuum, and deposited onto a vapor deposition area of a substrate, includes a conveyer which conveys the substrate in a conveying direction parallel to a plane on which the substrate lies, wherein the vapor deposition area faces downward and is exposed through the underside of the conveyer; a plurality of vapor deposition chambers aligned in the conveying direction, each the vapor deposition chamber including a space through which the substrate is conveyed; at least one container positioned in each of the plurality of vapor deposition chambers below the plane on which the substrate lies, and containing the vapor deposition material, wherein a width of the container covers the vapor deposition area in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction; and a heating medium provided for the container.
