Shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 (b), on the 12b of coating platform portion, on gas ejection ports 16a basis, also the assigned position on its surface is provided with air entry 16b.In the 12b of coating platform portion,, can regulate the height that upwards floats of LCD substrate G with than importing platform 12a of portion and the high precision of the 12c of outbound dock portion by adjusting from the gas emitted dose of gas ejection ports 16a with from the gas soakage of air entry 16b.
Shown in Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 (c), on the 12c of outbound dock portion, on the gas ejection ports 16a basis that is used to make LCD substrate G upwards to float, for being handover to substrate, the LCD substrate G that will be transported to the 12c of outbound dock portion transports arm 19, and also be provided with and keep superincumbent going up to lift pole 47 LCD substrate G.
Like this, in resist applying device (CT) 23a, can keep LCD substrate G with the state that upwards floats predetermined distance from platform 12.Therefore, in order to keep LCD substrate G and to move binding parts 50, do not need big strength at holding member 15a, 15b.In other words, in X driving mechanism 53, do not need big torque, thus, can seek 13 miniaturizations of substrate conveyer.
Fig. 8 represents the approximate three-dimensional map of resist supply nozzle 14.The structure that resist supply nozzle 14 is had is that the strip casing 14a of Yan Shening is provided with the banded resist ejiction opening 14b that sprays resist liquid roughly bandedly in one direction.Under the length direction that the makes casing 14a state consistent with the Y direction, can pass through nozzle elevating mechanism 30, free lifting ground is installed in this resist supply nozzle 14 on the nozzle holding member 20 of the substantial middle part that is configured in the 12b of coating platform portion.
The sensor 29 of measuring the interval between resist ejiction opening 14b and the LCD substrate G is being installed on the resist supply nozzle 14, and nozzle elevating mechanism 30 is controlled the position of resist supply nozzle 14 according to the measured value of this sensor 29.The length of resist supply nozzle 14 is less than the width (Y direction length) of LCD substrate G, makes can not form coated film in certain zone of the periphery of LCD substrate G.
On the surface that is arranged at the mounting table 17 on decompression dry device (VD) 23b, will support the pole (not shown) of pressing close to of LCD substrate G to be arranged on assigned position.Chamber 18 has two structures of cutting apart up and down that are made of fixing bottom container and upper cover that can free lifting is arranged.Substrate transports arm 19 and can move along directions X, Y direction, Z direction (vertical direction).
Inferior, the treatment process of we the LCD substrate G of explanation in the resist processing unit 23 that as above constitutes.In addition, be arranged on the roller bearing conveyer of the rotation of the roller bearing 46 on the transfer unit (PASS) 65, carry out transfer unit (PASS) 65 the transporting to resist processing unit 23 of LCD substrate G from thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 by use.
At first, at thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 1 side standby holding member 15a, 15b, formation can make LCD substrate G upwards float the state of specified altitude in each unit on the platform 12.Secondly, by the roller bearing conveyer, LCD substrate G is entered from the transfer unit (PASS) 65 of thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 import the platform 12a of portion, under the state that the part of LCD substrate G is also supported by roller bearing 46, Y direction one end of LCD substrate G is remained on holding member 15a, the 15b.Then, make the travelling speed that produces by roller bearing 46 consistent, thereby LCD substrate G is transported into the importing platform 12a of portion of platform 12 with the translational speed of holding member 15a, 15b.Importing on the platform 12a of portion, for example, transport LCD substrate G with the state that upwards floats 150 μ m from its surface.
Along with the driving by base plate driving mechanism 13 causes that LCD substrate G is transported into the 12b of coating platform portion to the moving of the directions X of holding member 15a, 15b.On the 12b of coating platform portion, by carry out air-breathing from air entry 16b when carrying out spraying from the gas of gas ejection ports 16a, for example, the height that LCD substrate G is upwards floated from this surface is about 40 μ m.
When LCD substrate G is below resist supply nozzle 14, to LCD substrate G ejection resist liquid, form coated film from resist supply nozzle 14.For example, the substrate travelling speed on the 12b of coating platform portion can be 150mm/ second.Like this, owing to can further improve the flatness of LCD substrate G by the height that upwards floats that reduces the LCD substrate, so can form the uniform coated film of thickness.
In addition, though can also be according to the measured signal of sensor 29, every LCD substrate G is adjusted the height of resist supply nozzle 14, but usually because the shipping situation of polylith LCD substrate G is identical, if, then after this need to adjust the height of resist supply nozzle 14 hardly so regulate the height of the resist supply nozzle 14 on initially treated LCD substrate G or the pseudo-substrate G.In addition, the selection of time that both can utilize the measured signal decision of sensor 29 to begin/spray end from the ejection of the resist liquid of resist supply nozzle 14, the sensor of the position of detecting LCD substrate G also can be set with another kind of method, and according to this selection of time of signal deciding from this sensor.
Along with moving of holding member 15a, 15b, because of the LCD substrate G that has formed coated film by the 12b of coating platform portion is transported to the 12c of outbound dock portion.In the 12c of outbound dock portion, for example, make LCD substrate G be in the state that upwards floats 150 μ m from its surface.Arrive on the outbound dock 12c of portion if LCD substrate G is whole, then remove the absorption that produces by holding member 15a, 15b and keep, act pole 47 is risen, thereby LCD substrate G is remained on the height of regulation.
Then, substrate transports arm 19 near keeping superincumbent LCD substrate G by last act pole 47.If substrate transports arm 19 and controls LCD substrate G at Y direction one end of LCD substrate G, then make and lift pole 47 declines.In addition, substrate transports the LCD substrate G that arm 19 will control and is positioned on the mounting table 17 of decompression dry device (VD) 23b.After this, with its inner pressure relief, coated film is carried out drying under reduced pressure by airtight chamber 18.
If the processing in decompression dry device (VD) 23b of LCD substrate G finishes, then open chamber 18, make substrate transport arm 19 near the LCD substrate G that is positioned on the mounting table 17, thereby control LCD substrate G, and LCD substrate G is transported to the transfer unit (PASS) 69 of thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 34.On the other hand, LCD substrate G is joined to holding member 15a, 15b after the last act pole 47,, return thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 1 sides, after this, repeat above-mentioned treatment process in order to transport the LCD substrate G that handles next time.
In this coated film formation method, owing to transport LCD substrate G with the state that upwards floats from platform 12, thus the transcription on platform 12 surfaces can not take place, and can suppress the back side that particle is attached to LCD substrate G.In addition, owing to can shorten the intermittence that resist liquid is coated to LCD substrate G, so can access higher productivity ratio.
Thus, LCD substrate G in this resist applying device (CT) 23a transports in the method, on joining LCD substrate G to the 12c of outbound dock portion, holding member 15a, 15b lift pole 47, turn back to before thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 1 sides, LCD substrate G to be processed next time can be transported into and import the platform 12a of portion.Therefore, our explanation is equipped in the further preferred substrate conveyer among resist applying device (CT) 23a below.
Fig. 9 represents to be arranged on the plane (Fig. 9 (a)) and the sectional view (Fig. 9 (b)) of the schematic configuration of other substrate conveyers on resist applying device (CT) 23a.This substrate conveyer 55 has holding member 85a, the 85b of Y direction one end that keeps LCD substrate G; Chimeric with line slideway 51a, 51b (with the substrate conveyer 13 that illustrates previously identical) respectively, can respectively holding member 85a, 85b be remained on sliding freely moving body 86a, the 86b of Y direction simultaneously; And X-axis driving mechanism 53a, the 53b that can respectively moving body 85a, 85b be moved to the another one directions X.
Holding member 85a, 85b have the elongate in shape along directions X respectively, and have a plurality of absorption ring flanges 48, feasible Y direction one end that can keep LCD substrate G in the vast scope of directions X.Thus,, and move holding member 85a, 85b, also can prevent the deviation of LCD substrate G on the Y direction, thereby can stablize the posture of transporting LCD substrate G along directions X even individually LCD substrate G is remained on holding member 85a, the 85b respectively.In addition, holding member 85a, 85b slide freely on the Y direction respectively by not shown Y direction slide mechanism.
Figure 10 is the key diagram that transport form of pattern ground expression by the LCD substrate G of these substrate conveyer 55 generations.At first, with holding member 85b with not be transported into mode that the LCD substrate G that imports the platform 12a of portion joins and be configured on the position away from the Y direction, on the other hand, holding member 85a is configured on the position that imports Y direction one end that can keep LCD substrate G on the platform 12a of portion, remains on the holding member 85a thereby will be transported into the LCD substrate G that imports the platform 12a of portion.(Figure 10 (a)).
Secondly, move holding member 85a along directions X, and then LCD substrate G is transported into the 12b of coating platform portion, and there, carry out the formation of coated film.In addition, if LCD substrate G integral body is transported into the 12b of coating platform portion, then be in the state that can be transported into the LCD substrate G that next time handles, so holding member 85b is moved on the position that imports Y direction one end that can keep LCD substrate G on the platform 12a of portion (Figure 10 (b)) because import the platform 12a of portion.
Then, holding member 85b keeps newly being transported into the LCD substrate G ' that imports the platform 12a of portion, and begins transporting to the 12b of coating platform portion.On the other hand, the LCD substrate G that holding member 85a will form coated film is transported to platform unit 12c, and last act pole 47 (Figure 10 (c)) is given in handing-over there.After this, for the LCD substrate G ' that does not transport with holding member 85b clashes,, holding member 85a is got back to import the platform 12a of portion one side (Figure 10 (d)) with state away from platform 12.Then, if the LCD substrate G ' that remains among the holding member 85b is transported into the 12b of coating platform portion by integral body, then prepare new LCD substrate G is transported into the importing platform 12a of portion, thereby holding member 85a is moved on the position of Y direction one end that can keep LCD substrate G.After, holding member 85a, 85b repeat and the identical work of above-mentioned holding member 85a.
Then, we illustrate another substrate conveyer.Figure 11 is the sectional view that expression is arranged on the general structure of another the substrate conveyer among resist applying device (CT) 23a.This substrate conveyer 56 has the line slideway 51a~51d of the two one group ground configuration in the Y of platform 12 direction side; Chimeric with line slideway 51a~51d respectively moving body 88a~88d; Be separately positioned on elevating mechanism 89a, 89b on moving body 88a, the 88b; Remain on holding member 15a, 15b on elevating mechanism 89a, the 89b respectively; Be separately positioned on holding member 15c, 15d on moving body 88c, the 88d; Y- axis driving mechanism 89c, 89d that holding member 15c, 15d are slided along the Y direction; And X-axis driving mechanism 53a~53d that moving body 88a~88d is slided along directions X.
Figure 11 (a) expression is one group with holding member 15a, 15b and is keeping LCD substrate G state that Figure 11 (b) expression is one group with holding member 15c, 15d and is keeping LCD substrate G state.When holding member 15a, 15b transport LCD substrate G, be in vertical plane S, to carry out (with reference to Figure 11 (a)) in order to make holding member 15a, 15b motion separately, similarly control the driving of X-axis driving mechanism 53a, 53b and elevating mechanism 89a, 89b.Transport at holding member 15c, 15d under the situation of LCD substrate G, control X-axis driving mechanism 53c, 53d and Y- axis driving mechanism 89c, 89d similarly.
Figure 12 is the key diagram of the action of expression holding member 15a~15d.At first, controlling with holding member 15a, 15b under the situation that is transported to the LCD substrate G that imports the platform 12a of portion from the transfer unit (PASS) 65 of thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32, make holding member 15c, 15d be in the state (Figure 12 (a)) of Y direction away from platform 12.
If holding member 15a, 15b are keeping LCD substrate G, then make holding member 15a, 15b to the 12b of coating platform portion one side shifting, thereby on LCD substrate G, apply resist liquid.On the other hand, then in order to make holding member 15c, 15d can accept the LCD substrate G that transports from transfer unit (PASS) 65, will hold parts 15c, 15d near platform 12 (Figure 12 (b)).
Maintenance has formed holding member 15a, the 15b of the LCD substrate G of coated film, after moving to the 12c of outbound dock portion, there the LCD substrate G that keeps is joined to last act pole 47 (not shown in Figure 12).On the other hand, holding member 15c, 15d control from the transfer unit (PASS) 65 of thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 and are transported to the LCD substrate G ' that imports the platform 12a of portion, thereby beginning is to move (Figure 12 (c)) of the 12b of coating platform portion side.
Then, after holding member 15a, 15b are reduced to the position that is lower than holding member 15c, 15d, it are returned with this state import the platform 12a of portion one side (please refer to Figure 11 (b)), after this, adjust the height and position of holding member 15a, 15b, make to keep new LCD substrate.On the other hand, holding member 15c, 15d are transported to the 12b of coating platform portion one side with LCD substrate G ', and form coated film (Figure 12 (d)) on LCD substrate G '.
Arrive holding member 15c, the 15d of the outbound dock 12c of portion, in the 12c of outbound dock portion, the LCD substrate G ' handing-over that keeps given and lift pole 47 (in Figure 12 for illustrating).In addition, holding member 15a, 15b control from the transfer unit (PASS) 65 of thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 and are transported to the LCD substrate G that imports the platform 12a of portion ", thus beginning is to move (Figure 12 (e)) of the 12b of coating platform portion side.
Then, holding member 15c, 15d away from platform 12, and then are returned under this state and import the platform 12a of portion one side (Figure 12 (f).After this, holding member 15a~15d transports LCD substrate G one by one by repeating above-mentioned order respectively.Under situation, because can transport the formation processing that the LCD substrate carries out coated film continuously, so can access very high productivity ratio with this substrate conveyer 55,56.
More than, though embodiments of the present invention are had illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this mode.For example, LCD substrate G from the transfer unit (PASS) 65 of thermal treatment unit piece (TB) 32 to resist applying device (CT) 23a transports, can also be on transfer unit (PASS) 65, substrate to be set to transport arm, and lift pole importing to be provided with on the platform 12a of portion, thereby give last act pole by the LCD substrate delivery/reception that this substrate is transported the arm maintenance, and lift pole in the reduction,, LCD substrate G is held on holding member 15a, the 15b etc. at the near surface that imports the platform 12a of portion.
In addition, though expression has holding member 15a, 15b to draw the mode of LCD substrate G to transport form with LCD substrate G to remain on its carriage direction front part, holding member 15a, 15b can push away the mode of LCD substrate G to remain on its carriage direction rear part and transport LCD substrate G.In addition, in substrate conveyer 56, though holding member 15c, 15d can slide freely in the Y direction, holding member 15c, 15d also can be at the height that transports LCD substrate G and be higher than lifting structure freely between the position of the height that transports LCD substrate G.Thus, holding member 15a, 15b and holding member 15c, 15d are not clashed, and can on them, transport LCD substrate G alternately.In the above description, though take out resist film as coated film, coated film is not limited to this, can also be antireflection film or does not have photosensitive dielectric film etc.
The present invention is applicable to resist membrane formation device and the resist film formation method that forms resist film on the large substrate of LCD substrate etc.
