Abstract

A deposition mask 601 is used to form a thin film 3 in a prescribed pattern on a substrate 10 by deposition. Each of a plurality of improved openings 62A of the deposition mask 601 has a protruding opening portion 64, and is formed so that the opening amount at an end in a lateral direction is larger than that in a central portion in the lateral direction. In a deposition apparatus 50, the deposition mask 601 is held in a fixed relative positional relation with a deposition source 53 by a mask unit 55. In the case of forming the thin film 3 in a stripe pattern on the substrate 10 by the deposition apparatus 50, deposition particles are sequentially deposited on the substrate 10 while relatively moving the substrate 10 along a scanning direction with a gap H being provided between the substrate 10 and the deposition mask 601.
