In add up delay pulse time change.Fig. 7 is indicated to reach abutted position in the front end of moment t lifter pin 7a, be stopped later
The state of driving.The delay pulse of difference as command pulse and feedback pulse when the spinning movement of motor 35 starts substantially
It changes, but during increase with certain speed lifter pin 7a, as shown in fig. 7, keeping the change within the scope of certain
It is dynamic.But when moment t lifter pin 7a reaches abutted position, the absolute value for being detained pulse is substantially more than threshold value Th (herein, threshold
Value Th refers to absolute value.It is same as below) and change.As a result, by detecting the variation of the delay pulse, it is able to detect lifter pin 7a
Height and position.
Fig. 8 is the flow chart for indicating an example of the process of height and position adjusting method of the lifter pin of first embodiment.
The height and position adjusting method of the lifter pin of present embodiment can include the process of step S1 shown in Fig. 8 to step S5.This
Place, step S1 to step S4 constitute the height position detection method of the lifter pin of first embodiment.In the following, in the first embodiment party
It in the case where not distinguishing the height position detection method of lifter pin and the height and position adjusting method of lifter pin in formula, is denoted as and " rises
Height and position detection/adjusting method of pin drops ".
Firstly, in step sl, in the driving speed configuration part 51a of the drive control part 51 of control unit 50, will go up and down
The driving speed of pin is set as detection pattern.As described above, in detection pattern, with compared with joining mode driving speed it is smaller
The second driving speed carry out lifter pin 7a driving.By driving lifter pin 7a with the second driving speed, can prevent from going up and down
It sells the accidents such as the breakage of 7a and reliably and accurately implements the detection of height and position.
Then, in step s 2, electricity is issued from the drive control part 51 of control unit 50 to the driving portion 7b of lifting pin assembly 7
The driving instruction of motivation 35.Receive the driving instruction, pulse generating unit 31 generates the command pulse for being used for drive motor 35, defeated
Enter servo amplifier 33.When servo amplifier 33 inputs command pulse, motor 35 is with rotation corresponding with command pulse
Speed and torque carry out rotation driving, increase from fall maximum position shown in fig. 5 with second speed lifter pin 7a
Driving.Step S2 is suitable with up step.
In step s3, during lifter pin 7a rises, monitor that deviation counts by the abutting test section 53 of control unit 50
The delay pulse of device 33a.Specifically, the determination unit 53b for abutting test section 53 obtains the delay pulse of offset counter 33a
Value.Then, in step s 4, the absolute value of the delay pulse obtained in step s3 is compared with preset threshold value Th
Compared with, judge be detained pulse absolute value whether be more than threshold value Th.These steps S3 and step S4 are suitable with detecting step.Detection step
Suddenly it is executed simultaneously in parallel with the up step of step S2.Herein, by certain time from the rotation of motor 35
Period, the variation for being detained pulse is larger (referring to 0~t0 of the horizontal axis of Fig. 7), therefore preferably by it from the comparison other of step S4
It removes.Pass through the time at this point it is possible to be understood in advance from the driving instruction of step S2 to above-mentioned t0, by the time from comparison other
It removes, or can also converge in a certain range and make with its variation by after monitoring and detecting and be detained the maximum deviation of pulse
For triggering, the comparison of step S4 is carried out.
The threshold value Th used in the judgement of step S4, such as be able to use and be stored in the threshold value storage for abutting test section 53
The value of portion 53a.Threshold value Th be based on for example test resulting data, according to the driving speed of the lifter pin 7a in detection pattern,
Driving torque and set.In addition, threshold value Th can also be set and inputting from input unit 102.
In the case that the absolute value that pulse is detained in judgement in step S4 is more than threshold value Th (YES), before detecting lifter pin 7a
End reaches the abutted position abutted with the lower surface of substrate S.At this point, in next step S5, from the drive control of control unit 50
Portion 51 issues the halt instruction of motor 35 to the driving portion 7b of lifting pin assembly 7, stops the driving of lifter pin 7a.The step
S5 is suitable with step is stopped.Using height and position when like this stopping lifter pin 7a as " detection stop position ".The detection
Stop position is equivalent to " the second height and position ".Due to lifting pin assembly 7 control on time lag, detection stop position be with sternly
The abutted position of lattice compares the position minutely risen very much but it is also possible to be height and position identical with abutted position.
On the other hand, in the case that the absolute value that pulse is detained in judgement in step s 4 is not above threshold value Th (no),
It abuts in test section 53, executes the judgement of the monitoring of the delay pulse of step S3 and the threshold value Th of step S4 repeatedly.At this point, step
S3 and step S4 are persistently carried out, until basis is not included in the halt instruction of this process for example based on the liter obtained from encoder 37
The halt instruction of the upper limit value of the height and position and pre-determined height and position of drop pin 7a, the rising of lifter pin 7a stop.
Each lifting pin assembly 7 can be carried out from step S1 to the process of step S4 and step S5 above.At this point, energy
It is enough that multiple lift pins device 7 is proceeded as described above simultaneously.In addition, in present embodiment, by the way that the absolute of pulse will be detained
Value is compared with threshold value Th and detects that the front end of lifter pin 7a is abutted with the lower surface of mounting object, but has appreciated that in advance
Detection will not be counteracted in the case where, can also will be detained pulse without using its absolute value and use it is original just or
Negative threshold value (positive value or negative value) is compared.
The height and position detection of lifter pin according to the present embodiment, adjusting method, by by the deviation in driving portion 7b
The delay pulse of counter 33a as index, can with for example using the manual positioning of dial ga(u)ge it is same or higher
Precision, quickly and automatically detect lifter pin 7a front end reach abutted position situation.As a result, in the commercialization area of substrate S
When the lower section in domain configures lifter pin 7a, it also can be avoided and occur to handle the reliability for ensuring product irregularly such as etching spot.
Furthermore it is possible to do not need to carry out manually detecting the height and position of lifter pin 7a automatically and being adjusted for operator, by
Time needed for this can substantially shorten the positioning of lifter pin 7a, the downtime of device is reduced, can be improved processing substrate
Efficiency.
It, can be right when every time replacing the substrate S of process object to mounting table 3 when using substrate S as mounting object
Each piece of substrate S carries out the detection or adjusting of height and position, every regulation number can also carry out height after replacing multiple substrate S
The detection or adjusting of position.Like this, during actual processing substrate, periodically to the following table of lifter pin 7a and substrate S
The height and position that face abuts is detected or is adjusted, possible thus, it is possible to extremely reduce the generation that processing is uneven such as etching spot
Property, it can be ensured that the reliability of product.It is stagnant in the height and position detection of the lifter pin of present embodiment, adjusting method
It stays pulse generation sharply to change, more can more closely detect the abutting of lifter pin 7a Yu substrate S.It is therefore preferable that will fill
The stress for the load for resisting the lifter pin 7a risen is divided to be applied to substrate S.As a result, by being inhaled by such as electrode for electrostatic attraction 5
In the state of attaching substrates S, the process of above-mentioned steps S1 to step S5 is carried out, it is easier to which the variation of pulse is detained in detection, more
It is preferred that.
Furthermore, it is possible to as mounting object, instead of substrate S, and as shown in Figure 9 configured with being arranged in a manner of covering hole 3b
The load-carryings 60 such as the block with predetermined weight in the state of carry out.In particular, when not utilizing Electrostatic Absorption, mounting table 3 do not have
When having electrode for electrostatic attraction 5, by replacing substrate S, and the load with the lifter pin 7a that can sufficiently resist rising is used
The load-carrying 60 of quality accurately can detect or adjust the height and position that lifter pin 7a is abutted with load-carrying 60.
<second embodiment>
Figure 10 is another process for indicating the process of the height and position adjusting method of the lifter pin of second embodiment
Figure.Figure 11 is the partial section view on the top of the mounting table 3 comprising lifter pin 7a.2 liftings are typically illustrated in Figure 11
Sell 7a.The height and position adjusting method of the lifter pin of present embodiment includes step S11~step S17 process.Step therein
Rapid S11~step S15 is same as the step of Fig. 8 S1~step S5, and and the description is omitted.
The height and position adjusting method of the lifter pin of present embodiment, in the front end of lifter pin 7a and the lower surface of substrate S
After abutting, including from the state of stopping (detection stop position), in order to carry out the positioning of lifter pin 7a, further to lifter pin
The process of 7a progress additional drives.
In the step S15 of Figure 10, make the rising driving stopping of lifter pin 7a in the halt instruction according to motor 35
Under state, the front end of lifter pin 7a reaches detection stop position.That is, the front end of lifter pin 7a is abutted with the lower surface of substrate S.In
It is that in next step S16, such as shown in Figure 11, the front end of lifter pin 7a declines slightly from detection stop position, moves
Positioned at the height and position for keeping lifter pin 7a standby during processing i.e. position of readiness.The position of readiness is equivalent to third height position
It sets.Make the amount of movement (path increment) when lifter pin 7a decline driving from detection stop position to position of readiness, according to drive control
The altitude information of the position of readiness saved in the height and position adjustment portion 51b in portion 51 determines.The amount of movement can utilize coding
Device 37 is grasped and is controlled.Position of readiness can according to the data obtained by experiment for example corresponding to the process content of substrate S,
Dysgenic height will not be caused to the processing of substrate S by being set in, preferably on the basis of detecting stop position 0.05~
The height and position for declining lifter pin 7a in the range of 1mm degree.In addition, the amount of movement can be by defeated from input unit 102
Enter and sets.
Like this, by being adjusted to the height and position of the front end of lifter pin 7a from the substrate S as detection stop position
The position of readiness that declines slightly of height of lower surface also can when the lower section in the commercialization region of substrate S configures lifter pin 7a
It is enough reliably prevented and generates the unevenness of the processing such as etching spot.In addition, position of readiness is set as than fall maximum position
Height, and it is lower than detection stop position and abutted position.
Then, it in step S17, is issued from the driving portion 7b of 51 pairs of drive control part lifting pin assemblies 7 of control unit 50
The halt instruction of motor 35 stops the driving of lifter pin 7a.
By the above process, in the present embodiment, the front end of lifter pin 7a is shifted
To position of readiness.Thus, for example in the case where causing the length of lifter pin 7a to shorten to a certain degree due to reduction, bending etc.,
Also the height and position of its front end can be controlled in position of readiness.Even if reduction or bending etc. occur for lifter pin 7a as a result, also can
Enough prevent the position of the front end of the multiple lift pins 7a during processing of substrate S in position of readiness irregular, it can
The generation that avoids such as etching spot processing uneven and the reliability for ensuring product.
The experimental result for confirming effect of the invention is illustrated.According to step S11~step S17's shown in Fig. 10
Process is placed with the state of mounting object with the substrate supporting face in mounting table 3, makes to go up and down pin assembly 7 from fall dominant bit
It sets and rises to abutted position after detection stop position stops, further it is made to drop to position of readiness.In addition, in step
In S16, the amount of movement that will test stop position to position of readiness is set as 0.05mm.In this process, in removal mounting object
Under state, dial ga(u)ge (model 1160T, 1 scale of Mitutoyo Corp's manufacture are 0.01mm) measurement mounting table 3 is used
Substrate supporting face, detection stop position and position of readiness lifter pin 7a front end height.It the results are shown in table 1.
[table 1]
It is able to confirm that according to table 1, according to the process of step S11~step S17 shown in Fig. 10, after being abutted with mounting object
Stop, and then decline drives preset amount of movement from the position of stopping.
The other structures and effect of present embodiment are same as first embodiment.
[method for detecting abnormality of lifter pin]
Then, illustrate using above-mentioned first method lifter pin height and position detection, adjusting method lifter pin it is different
Normal detection method.
<third embodiment>
Figure 12 is the stream for indicating an example of the process of the method for detecting abnormality of lifter pin of third embodiment of the present invention
Cheng Tu.The method for detecting abnormality of the lifter pin of present embodiment includes step S21~step S29 process.Step S21 wherein
~step S25 is same as step S1~step S5 of first embodiment (Fig. 8), and and the description is omitted.
In the step S25 of Figure 12, make the rising driving stopping of lifter pin 7a in the halt instruction according to motor 35
Under state, the front end of lifter pin 7a reaches detection stop position.That is, the front end of lifter pin 7a is abutted with the lower surface of substrate S.It connects
, make lifter pin 7a from decline from the acquirement of the encoder 37 of driving portion 7b in the determination unit 55b of step S26, abnormity detection portion 55
Amplitude maximum position is displaced to the amount of movement (path increment) of detection stop position.Then, in step s 27, determination unit 55b is to step
The amount of movement and preset threshold value that rapid S26 is obtained are compared, and judge whether amount of movement has been more than threshold value.Herein, sentencing
Threshold value used in fixed is able to use the value for example saved in the threshold value storage unit 55a of abnormity detection portion 55.Threshold value is by threshold value
Amount of movement setting of the storage unit 55a according to the data for example tested, based on lifter pin 7a when normal.In addition, threshold value can also
To be set and being inputted from input unit 102.
If lifter pin 7a is in normal condition, so that lifter pin 7a is displaced to detection from fall maximum position and stop
Amount of movement when position is substantially certain.But movement when wearing away the exceptions such as caused reduction, bending has occurred in lifter pin 7a
Amount, substantially becomes larger compared with amount of movement when normal.Then, in step s 27, the amount of movement for judging lifter pin 7a is more than threshold value
When (YES), lifter pin 7a is detected as in next step S28 and is in abnormal.At this point, for example aobvious in the display device 104 of control unit 50
Show the maintenance information etc. of error information or display alarm lifter pin 7a replacement.
On the other hand, when judging that the amount of movement of lifter pin 7a is not above threshold value (no) in step s 27, in next step
S29 is detected as lifter pin 7a, and there is no abnormal (normal).

Driving abuts with the lower surface of substrate S and reaches the amount of movement of detection stop position according to its front end, detects such as lifter pin 7a
Reduction, the bending of front end etc. it is abnormal.Lifter pin 7a due to reduction, bending and when shortening, the handover of substrate S can be caused not
Good influence, and will also become the reason for etching spot etc..The method for detecting abnormality of the lifter pin of present embodiment passes through using upper
Height and position detection, the adjusting method for stating the lifter pin of first embodiment, can simply and rapidly detect lifter pin 7a's
It is abnormal.
The other structures and effect of present embodiment are same as first embodiment.In addition, in present embodiment, instead of making
Amount of movement when lifter pin 7a is displaced to detection stop position from fall maximum position, can also use will be from fall
The structure that amount of movement when maximum position is displaced to abutted position is compared with threshold value.At this point, the step of Figure 12 can be omitted
The processing of S25.That is, step S26 is then executed when step S24 judges that the absolute value for being detained pulse is more than threshold value (YES), it is abnormal
The determination unit 55b of test section 55 is displaced to lifter pin 7a from fall maximum position from the acquirement of the encoder 37 of driving portion 7b
The amount of movement of abutted position.
