Description

本発明は、支持チャック及び基板処理装置に関し、さらに詳しくは、基板を支持する手段から引き離す過程における基板のゆがみを防ぐことができる支持チャック及びこれを備える基板処理装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a support chuck and a substrate processing apparatus. More specifically, the present invention relates to a support chuck that can prevent distortion of a substrate in a process of being separated from a means for supporting a substrate, and a substrate processing apparatus including the support chuck.

液晶表示装置(Liquid Crystal Display:LCD)及び有機発光装置(Organic Light Emitting Device:OLED)などのフラットパネル表示装置は、一般に、一対の平板基板を貼り合わせて製作する。例えば、複数の薄膜トランジスタ、有機発光層及び電極などが形成された上部基板とキャッピング層の役割を果たす下部基板とを貼り合わせて有機発光装置(OLED)を製作する。上述した基板の貼り合わせを行う装置として、現在、様々なタイプのものが用いられている。例えば、下記の特許文献1には、基板貼り合わせ装置が開示されている。   A flat panel display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) and an organic light emitting device (OLED) is generally manufactured by bonding a pair of flat substrates. For example, an organic light emitting device (OLED) is manufactured by bonding an upper substrate on which a plurality of thin film transistors, organic light emitting layers, electrodes, and the like are formed and a lower substrate serving as a capping layer. Various types of apparatuses for bonding the substrates described above are currently used. For example, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a substrate bonding apparatus.

下記の特許文献1にも開示されているように、一般に、基板の貼り合わせを行う従来の装置には、定盤と、該定盤に取着されて基板を支持する粘着部材と、該粘着部材から基板を引き離すリフトピンなどが配設される。   As disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, a conventional apparatus for laminating substrates generally includes a surface plate, an adhesive member attached to the surface plate and supporting the substrate, and the adhesive Lift pins or the like for separating the substrate from the member are disposed.

一方、基板の貼り合わせを行う従来の装置は、基板を貼り合わせる過程を行った後、基板を向く方向にリフトピンを突出させて基板を粘着部材から引き離す。このとき、下記の問題が生じる。   On the other hand, in a conventional apparatus for bonding substrates, after performing the process of bonding substrates, lift pins are projected in a direction facing the substrate to pull the substrate away from the adhesive member. At this time, the following problems occur.

基板を粘着部材から引き離す間にリフトピンが基板を押し付け続ける。このため、基板を引き離す間に、基板には局部的な荷重が加えられ、これにより、基板が損傷するという問題が生じる。また、リフトピンが基板に力を加えて粘着部材から基板を押し出す間に、上部基板と下部基板との位置ずれが生じてしまうという問題が生じる。   The lift pins continue to press the substrate while the substrate is pulled away from the adhesive member. For this reason, a local load is applied to the substrate during the separation of the substrate, which causes a problem that the substrate is damaged. Further, there arises a problem that the upper and lower substrates are displaced while the lift pins apply a force to the substrate and push the substrate out of the adhesive member.

上記の問題に加えて、従来の装置は、下記の問題をさらに抱えていた。従来の装置は、多数のリフトピンを駆動するための機械的な構成要素がチャンバの内部又は外部に設けられなければならず、上記の構成要素をチャンバの内部又は外部に取り付けるためにチャンバは貫通加工されなければならない。また、貫通加工されるチャンバの構造を補強するための構成要素及び貫通加工される領域を封止するための構成要素がチャンバの内部又は外部に設けられなければならない。すなわち、従来の装置は、多数のリフトピンを機械的な方式を用いて駆動するために複雑な構造を有し、これにより、チャンバの内部の気密維持及び装置のメンテナンスに難点がある。   In addition to the above problems, the conventional apparatus further has the following problems. In the conventional apparatus, mechanical components for driving a number of lift pins must be provided inside or outside the chamber, and the chamber is penetrated to attach the above components inside or outside the chamber. It must be. Further, a component for reinforcing the structure of the chamber to be penetrated and a component for sealing the region to be penetrated must be provided inside or outside the chamber. That is, the conventional apparatus has a complicated structure for driving a number of lift pins using a mechanical method, and thus there is a difficulty in maintaining airtightness inside the chamber and maintaining the apparatus.

It is possible to adhere uniformly, or to evenly separate the adhesive member from the substrate.

一方、従来には、基板と接触される別途の部材を用いて基板を支持チャックから押し出して分離し、このため、別途の部材から基板に加えられる力により基板が損傷されたり位置ずれが生じたりするという問題があった。   On the other hand, conventionally, a separate member that comes into contact with the substrate is used to push and separate the substrate from the support chuck. For this reason, the substrate is damaged or displaced due to the force applied to the substrate from the separate member. There was a problem to do.

これに対し、本発明の実施形態によれば、粘着部材を支持チャックの内側方向に移動させて基板を支持チャックから引き離す間に、基板は支持チャックの支持面との接触を維持することから、基板の損傷なしに引き離すことができ、基板のゆがみを防ぐことができる。   On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the substrate maintains contact with the support surface of the support chuck while moving the adhesive member in the inner direction of the support chuck and pulling the substrate away from the support chuck. They can be pulled apart without damaging the substrate, and distortion of the substrate can be prevented.

また、支持チャックは、内部の互いに画成された部分空間に選択的にガスを注入して粘着部材を駆動し、すなわち、粘着部材を駆動する構成部が支持チャックの内部に設けられることから、支持チャック及びこれを備える基板処理装置の構造を単純化させることができる。   In addition, the support chuck selectively injects gas into the mutually defined partial spaces to drive the adhesive member, that is, a component for driving the adhesive member is provided inside the support chuck. The structure of the support chuck and the substrate processing apparatus including the support chuck can be simplified.

伸縮部材630は、可動部材640及びここに取り付けられた粘着部材650を駆動するように胴体620内に設けられる構成部である。伸縮部材630は、胴体620の内部空間を胴体620の厚手方向に積み重ねられた部分空間610に画成するように胴体620内に取り付けられる弾性膜631と、該弾性膜631の一方の面に取り付けられ、弾性膜631の変形により胴体620の厚手方向に可動となる補強板632とを備えていてもよい。   The elastic member 630 is a component provided in the body 620 so as to drive the movable member 640 and the adhesive member 650 attached thereto. The elastic member 630 is attached to one surface of the elastic film 631 and an elastic film 631 attached to the body 620 so as to define an internal space of the body 620 as a partial space 610 stacked in the thick direction of the body 620. In addition, the elastic film 631 may be provided with a reinforcing plate 632 that is movable in the thick direction of the body 620 by deformation of the elastic film 631.

弾性膜631は、弾性を有する薄い膜、例えば、ダイヤフラムであってもよく、その材質としては、例えば、天然ゴム、合成ゴム、金属板、又はエンジニアリングプラスチックが挙げられる。弾性膜631は、例えば、その周縁部が上部胴体620aと下部胴体620bとの係合面の間における胴体620に取り付けられてもよい。このとき、弾性膜631と、上部胴体620a及び下部胴体620bのそれぞれの接触面には別途の密封手段(図示せず)が設けられてもよい。   The elastic film 631 may be a thin film having elasticity, for example, a diaphragm, and examples of the material thereof include natural rubber, synthetic rubber, metal plate, and engineering plastic. For example, the elastic film 631 may be attached to the body 620 whose peripheral edge portion is between the engagement surfaces of the upper body 620a and the lower body 620b. At this time, separate sealing means (not shown) may be provided on the contact surfaces of the elastic film 631 and the upper body 620a and the lower body 620b.

弾性膜631により、胴体620の内部空間は、部分空間、例えば、上部部分空間610a及び下部部分空間610bに画成される。詳しくは、弾性膜631は、胴体620内に水平方向に取り付けられて胴体620の内部空間を支持面に平行な方向に画成する。弾性膜631は、該弾性膜631に向かって噴射される不活性ガスにより膨張可能であり、噴射された不活性ガスを外部に排気すると、再び収縮して元の位置に戻る。すなわち、画成された部分空間610は、弾性膜631により互いに孤立されて連通されない。このため、上部部分空間610aから下部部分空間610bにガスが流動せず、且つ、その反対の場合にもガスが流動しない。すなわち、上部部分空間610aにガスが注入される場合に弾性膜631が下側に膨張し、下部部分空間610bにガスが注入される場合に弾性膜631は上側に膨張する。   Due to the elastic film 631, the internal space of the body 620 is defined as a partial space, for example, an upper partial space 610a and a lower partial space 610b. Specifically, the elastic membrane 631 is attached in the horizontal direction in the body 620 and defines the internal space of the body 620 in a direction parallel to the support surface. The elastic film 631 can be expanded by an inert gas injected toward the elastic film 631, and when the injected inert gas is exhausted to the outside, the elastic film 631 contracts again and returns to its original position. That is, the defined partial spaces 610 are isolated from each other by the elastic film 631 and are not communicated with each other. For this reason, the gas does not flow from the upper partial space 610a to the lower partial space 610b, and the gas does not flow in the opposite case. That is, the elastic film 631 expands downward when gas is injected into the upper partial space 610a, and the elastic film 631 expands upward when gas is injected into the lower partial space 610b.

一方、後述する可動部材640が伸縮部材630に安定的に取り付けられて支持され、弾性膜631の膨張及び収縮方向が胴体620の厚手方向に制御されるように、弾性膜631の少なくとも一方の面には補強板632が取り付けられる。すなわち、補強板632は弾性膜631の下面又は上面に取り付けられてもよく、弾性膜631の上面及び下面にそれぞれ取り付けられてもよい。   On the other hand, at least one surface of the elastic film 631 so that a movable member 640 described later is stably attached to and supported by the elastic member 630 and the expansion and contraction directions of the elastic film 631 are controlled in the thick direction of the body 620. A reinforcing plate 632 is attached to the. That is, the reinforcing plate 632 may be attached to the lower surface or the upper surface of the elastic film 631, or may be attached to the upper surface and the lower surface of the elastic film 631, respectively.

弾性膜631に補強板632が取り付けられることにより、伸縮部材630の一部、すなわち、補強板632が弾性膜631の膨張及び収縮に際して胴体620の支持面と平行を維持しながら移動する。このために、補強板632は、弾性膜631の膨張又は収縮に際して補強板632が弾性膜631の膨張又は収縮の方向に曲げ変形されないように所定の強度を有し、その形状は、胴体620の形状に対応する形状、例えば、矩形板状に製作される。上述した補強板632により弾性膜631は、その変形方向が目的とする方向、例えば、胴体620の厚手方向に制御され、後述する可動部材640は補強板632により互いに胴体620の厚手方向に同じ高さを維持しながら胴体620内において移動する。   By attaching the reinforcing plate 632 to the elastic film 631, a part of the elastic member 630, that is, the reinforcing plate 632 moves while maintaining parallel to the support surface of the body 620 when the elastic film 631 expands and contracts. Therefore, the reinforcing plate 632 has a predetermined strength so that the reinforcing plate 632 is not bent and deformed in the direction of expansion or contraction of the elastic membrane 631 when the elastic membrane 631 expands or contracts. It is manufactured in a shape corresponding to the shape, for example, a rectangular plate shape. The elastic film 631 is controlled by the reinforcing plate 632 described above in a direction in which the elastic film 631 is deformed, for example, a thick direction of the body 620, and a movable member 640 described later is mutually increased in the thick direction of the body 620 by the reinforcing plate 632. It moves in the body 620 while maintaining the height.

一方、補強板632は、後述する可動部材640が目的とする数に見合う分だけ取り付けられて支持されるように、その面積の下限が形成される。また、補強板632はその周縁部が胴体620から所定の間隔だけ離れるように面積の上限が形成され、このため、弾性膜631は、ガスの注入及び排気による膨張及び収縮を収容(許容)する所定の面積を有する。すなわち、補強板632は、弾性膜631の全体の面積のうち補強板632の周縁部と胴体620との間に配設される弾性膜631の面積、すなわち、補強板632が取り付けられていない面積が膨張又は収縮することにより胴体620の厚手方向に移動する。   On the other hand, the lower limit of the area is formed so that the reinforcing plate 632 is attached and supported by an amount corresponding to the target number of movable members 640 described later. Further, the reinforcing plate 632 is formed with an upper limit of the area so that the peripheral portion thereof is separated from the body 620 by a predetermined distance. For this reason, the elastic film 631 accommodates (allows) expansion and contraction due to gas injection and exhaust. It has a predetermined area. That is, the reinforcing plate 632 is an area of the elastic membrane 631 disposed between the peripheral portion of the reinforcing plate 632 and the body 620 out of the entire area of the elastic membrane 631, that is, an area where the reinforcing plate 632 is not attached. Moves in the thick direction of the body 620 by expanding or contracting.

可動部材640は、下部胴体620bの一方の面621、例えば、支持面を胴体620の厚手方向に貫通して伸縮部材630に取り付けられ、このとき、補強板632により安定的に支持される。可動部材640は、少なくとも一部、詳しくは、胴体620の外側を向く可動部材640の一方の端部が胴体620の一方の面621に形成された貫通口622に嵌入する。   The movable member 640 passes through one surface 621 of the lower body 620b, for example, a support surface in the thick direction of the body 620 and is attached to the elastic member 630. At this time, the movable member 640 is stably supported by the reinforcing plate 632. At least part of the movable member 640, specifically, one end of the movable member 640 facing the outside of the body 620 is fitted into a through-hole 622 formed on one surface 621 of the body 620.

可動部材640は、基板の大きさに対応して互いに所定の間隔を隔てて複数配置される。可動部材640は、伸縮部材630の上側、すなわち、上部部分空間610aに配設される上部可動部材640aと、伸縮部材630の下側、すなわち、下部部分空間610bに配設される下部可動部材640bとに分けられる。下部可動部材640bは、胴体620の一方の面621を向く可動部材640の一方の端部が胴体620の貫通口622内に位置するようにその長さが形成される。上部可動部材640aは、可動部材640の他方の端部が後述するシャワーヘッド660から所定の間隔を隔てるようにその長さが形成される。このとき、可動部材640の他方の端部と後述するシャワーヘッド660との間の離隔間隔は、伸縮部材630が上昇膨張する場合にその変化を収容する役割を果たす。すなわち、可動部材640の他方の端部と後述するシャワーヘッド660との間の離隔間隔は、後述する粘着部材650の行程距離、例えば、粘着部材の上限位置と下限位置との間の距離を意味する。上部可動部材640aは、可動部材640の上昇時にストッパの役割を果たす。   A plurality of movable members 640 are arranged at a predetermined interval from each other according to the size of the substrate. The movable member 640 includes an upper movable member 640a disposed in the upper partial space 610a, that is, an upper movable member 640b disposed in the upper partial space 610a, and a lower movable member 640b disposed in the lower partial space 610b. And divided. The lower movable member 640b is formed to have a length such that one end of the movable member 640 facing the one surface 621 of the body 620 is located in the through hole 622 of the body 620. The length of the upper movable member 640a is formed such that the other end of the movable member 640 is spaced apart from a shower head 660 described later. At this time, a separation interval between the other end of the movable member 640 and a shower head 660 described later serves to accommodate the change when the expandable member 630 is inflated and expanded. That is, the separation distance between the other end of the movable member 640 and a shower head 660 described later means the distance of the adhesive member 650 described later, for example, the distance between the upper limit position and the lower limit position of the adhesive member. To do. The upper movable member 640a serves as a stopper when the movable member 640 is raised.

一方、可動部材640は、伸縮部材630に取り付けられて伸縮部材630の移動に対応して移動しなければならないため、例えば、下記のように伸縮部材630に取着される。下部可動部材640bの上端部の外周面には突起641が形成され、これに対応して上部可動部材640aの上端部の外周面にはワッシャ642が設けられる。突起641及びワッシャ642は伸縮部材630にそれぞれ接触され、これを貫通してボルト643が締め付けられて可動部材640を伸縮部材630に取り付ける。このとき、ワッシャ642は、伸縮部材630に可動部材640を固定する役割及び可動部材640により貫通された伸縮部材630を封止する役割を果たす。   On the other hand, the movable member 640 is attached to the elastic member 630 and has to move in response to the movement of the elastic member 630. For example, the movable member 640 is attached to the elastic member 630 as follows. A protrusion 641 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the lower movable member 640b, and a washer 642 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the upper movable member 640a. The protrusion 641 and the washer 642 are respectively brought into contact with the expansion / contraction member 630, and the bolt 643 is tightened through the protrusion 641 and the washer 642 to attach the movable member 640 to the expansion / contraction member 630. At this time, the washer 642 functions to fix the movable member 640 to the elastic member 630 and to seal the elastic member 630 penetrated by the movable member 640.

粘着部材650は、粘着力を用いて基板を固定する部材であり、基板に粘着されてから引き離されても基板に粘着の痕跡を残すことがなく、可動部材640の一方の端部にそのまま取り付けられる特性を有する材質により製作される。例えば、粘着部材650は、シリコン系、アクリル系又はフッ素系の粘着シートであってもよい。   The adhesive member 650 is a member that fixes the substrate by using an adhesive force, and does not leave an adhesive trace on the substrate even if it is detached after being adhered to the substrate, and is attached to one end of the movable member 640 as it is. Manufactured with a material having the characteristics as described above. For example, the adhesive member 650 may be a silicon-based, acrylic-based, or fluorine-based adhesive sheet.

粘着部材650は、貫通口622を介して可動となるように可動部材640の一方の端部に取り付けられ、このため、胴体620の貫通口622を介して胴体620の外側に露出する。胴体620の一方の面621、例えば、支持面から露出する粘着部材650の粘着面の形状は円形であってもよい。粘着部材650は、可動部材640の端部に、例えば、ボルト(図示せず)により締め付けられるか、又は接着材により貼り付けられる。粘着部材650は、可動部材640の一方の端部に取り付けられて、胴体620の貫通口622内において可動部材640の昇降により移動する。詳しくは、粘着部材650の粘着面651は、部分空間に選択的に注入されるガスにより、胴体620の貫通口622内に支持面と並ぶように位置して基板に粘着されるか、又は貫通口622内に支持面から離れるように位置して基板との粘着が解除される。   The adhesive member 650 is attached to one end of the movable member 640 so as to be movable through the through-hole 622, and is thus exposed to the outside of the body 620 through the through-hole 622 of the body 620. The shape of the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 650 exposed from one surface 621 of the body 620, for example, the support surface, may be circular. The adhesive member 650 is fastened to the end portion of the movable member 640 by, for example, a bolt (not shown) or attached by an adhesive. The adhesive member 650 is attached to one end portion of the movable member 640 and moves by moving the movable member 640 up and down in the through-hole 622 of the body 620. Specifically, the adhesive surface 651 of the adhesive member 650 is adhered to the substrate while being aligned with the support surface in the through-hole 622 of the body 620 by the gas selectively injected into the partial space. The adhesion to the substrate is released by being located in the mouth 622 so as to be away from the support surface.

一方、本発明の実施形態に係る支持チャック600は、部分空間610のうちの少なくとも一つに、胴体620の厚手方向にガスを注入するように胴体620内に取り付けられるシャワーヘッド660をさらに備えていてもよい。詳しくは、シャワーヘッド660は、上部部分空間610aに胴体620の厚手方向にガスを注入するように上部胴体620a内に取り付けられ、上部胴体620aの一方の側に取り付けられた上部配管681に連結される。   Meanwhile, the support chuck 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes a shower head 660 attached to the body 620 so as to inject gas in the thick direction of the body 620 into at least one of the partial spaces 610. May be. Specifically, the shower head 660 is attached in the upper body 620a so as to inject gas into the upper partial space 610a in the thickness direction of the body 620, and is connected to an upper pipe 681 attached to one side of the upper body 620a. The

シャワーヘッド660は、胴体620の厚手方向に形成される複数の噴射口661を有する下部板、例えば、多孔板と下部板との上側において該下部板の周縁部を囲繞する側壁を備えていてもよく、側壁の上部が上部胴体620aの内側の上部に気密に取り付けられる。シャワーヘッド660の下部板は、上部胴体620aの内側の上部から所定の距離だけ離れて配置され、下部板の面積は補強板632の大きさに対応するように形成される。   The shower head 660 may include a lower plate having a plurality of injection ports 661 formed in the thick direction of the body 620, for example, a side wall surrounding the peripheral portion of the lower plate above the perforated plate and the lower plate. The upper part of the side wall is airtightly attached to the upper part inside the upper body 620a. The lower plate of the shower head 660 is disposed at a predetermined distance from the upper part inside the upper body 620 a, and the area of the lower plate is formed to correspond to the size of the reinforcing plate 632.

シャワーヘッド660により、上部部分空間610a及び補強板632に均一にガスが噴射され、これにより、伸縮部材630に均一な力が加えられ、伸縮部材630が水平を維持しながら昇降又は下降する。もちろん、シャワーヘッド660は、下部部分空間610bにガスを注入するように下部胴体620bに取り付けられてもよく、それぞれの胴体620の全てに取り付けられてもよい。   The shower head 660 uniformly injects gas into the upper partial space 610a and the reinforcing plate 632, whereby a uniform force is applied to the expansion / contraction member 630, and the expansion / contraction member 630 moves up and down while maintaining level. Of course, the shower head 660 may be attached to the lower body 620b so as to inject gas into the lower partial space 610b, or may be attached to all of the respective bodies 620.

一方、本発明の実施形態に係る支持チャック600は、伸縮部材630が胴体620内において胴体620の厚手方向に同じ高さを維持しながら移動するように、部分空間のうちの少なくとも一つの個所において胴体620内に取り付けられ、一方の端部が伸縮部材630に連結される緩衝部材670をさらに備えていてもよい。   Meanwhile, the support chuck 600 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured so that the elastic member 630 moves in the body 620 while maintaining the same height in the thickness direction of the body 620 in at least one of the partial spaces. A buffer member 670 attached to the body 620 and having one end connected to the elastic member 630 may further be provided.

すなわち、緩衝部材670は、伸縮部材630を向く方向に胴体620内に取り付けられ、一部の構成部が伸縮部材630に接触連結されることにより伸縮部材630を弾支する。取り付けられた緩衝部材670により、伸縮部材630は、該伸縮部材630に一次的に偏向的に噴射されるガスによる圧力に耐え、目的とする速度にて緩やかに胴体620の厚手方向に昇降する。これにより、伸縮部材630の不意の突出駆動及び伸縮部材630及び可動部材640のスティックスリップ現象、すなわち、振動現象が防がれる。   That is, the buffer member 670 is attached to the body 620 in a direction facing the elastic member 630, and a part of the components is contacted and connected to the elastic member 630 to elastically support the elastic member 630. Due to the attached buffer member 670, the expansion / contraction member 630 can withstand the pressure caused by the gas that is primarily deflectably injected onto the expansion / contraction member 630 and gently moves up and down in the thick direction of the body 620 at a target speed. Thereby, the unexpected protrusion drive of the expansion / contraction member 630 and the stick-slip phenomenon of the expansion / contraction member 630 and the movable member 640, that is, the vibration phenomenon are prevented.

本発明の実施形態においては、伸縮部材630の下側、すなわち、下部部分空間610bにおける下部胴体620bに取り付けられる緩衝部材670を例示するが、本発明はこれに何ら限定されるものではなく、緩衝部材670は、伸縮部材630の上側、すなわち、上部部分空間610aにおける上部胴体620aに取り付けられてもよい。また、緩衝部材670は、伸縮部材730の上側及び下側のそれぞれにおける上部胴体620a及び下部胴体620bにそれぞれ取り付けられて、上部部分空間610a及び下部部分空間610bにそれぞれ配設されてもよい。一方、以下では、下部胴体620bに取り付けられる緩衝部材670を中心に緩衝部材670の技術的特徴について説明するが、これは、緩衝部材670が上部胴体620aに取り付けられても同様に適用可能である。   In the embodiment of the present invention, the shock absorbing member 670 attached to the lower body 620b of the lower elastic member 630, that is, the lower body space 610b is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The member 670 may be attached to the upper body 620a in the upper part space 610a, that is, the upper side of the elastic member 630. Further, the buffer member 670 may be attached to the upper body 620a and the lower body 620b on the upper side and the lower side of the elastic member 730, respectively, and may be disposed in the upper partial space 610a and the lower partial space 610b, respectively. On the other hand, below, the technical features of the buffer member 670 will be described with a focus on the buffer member 670 attached to the lower body 620b. However, this is similarly applicable even if the buffer member 670 is attached to the upper body 620a. .

緩衝部材670は、伸縮部材630を向く方向に胴体620内に取り付けられるガイド部材671と、該ガイド部材671の外側に設けられ、一方の端部が胴体620に連結支持され、他方の端部が伸縮部材630に連結支持される弾性部材672とを備えていてもよい。このとき、ガイド部材671は、伸縮部材630に面するガイド部材671の一方の端部が伸縮部材630から離れるように長さが形成される。詳しくは、ガイド部材671の一方の端部がガイド部材671を向く方向に伸縮部材630が移動する場合に伸縮部材630に接触し、それ以外の場合に伸縮部材630から離れるようにガイド部材671の長さが形成される。   The buffer member 670 is provided on the outer side of the guide member 671 attached to the body 620 in a direction facing the expansion and contraction member 630, one end portion is connected and supported to the body 620, and the other end portion is And an elastic member 672 connected and supported by the elastic member 630. At this time, the length of the guide member 671 is formed such that one end of the guide member 671 facing the elastic member 630 is separated from the elastic member 630. Specifically, the guide member 671 is in contact with the expansion / contraction member 630 when the expansion / contraction member 630 moves in a direction in which one end portion of the guide member 671 faces the guide member 671, and is separated from the expansion / contraction member 630 in other cases. A length is formed.

弾性部材672、例えば、弾性ばねは、両端部が伸縮部材630及び胴体620に固着または接触連結され、弾性力によりこれらを支持する。上述した緩衝部材670は複数配設されて下部胴体620bの複数の個所に取り付けられ、このとき、複数の緩衝部材670は水平方向に互いに等間隔を隔てて配設されてもよく、このため、伸縮部材630が胴体620の厚手方向に移動するときに補強板632が下部胴体620bの一方の面621、例えば、支持面と平行になるようにこれを弾支することができる。   Both ends of the elastic member 672, for example, an elastic spring, are fixed or contact-connected to the expansion / contraction member 630 and the body 620, and are supported by elastic force. A plurality of buffer members 670 described above are disposed and attached to a plurality of locations of the lower body 620b. At this time, the plurality of buffer members 670 may be disposed at equal intervals in the horizontal direction. When the elastic member 630 moves in the thick direction of the body 620, the reinforcing plate 632 can be elastically supported so as to be parallel to one surface 621 of the lower body 620b, for example, a support surface.

配管680は、上部配管681及び下部配管682を備え、上部配管681は上部胴体620aの上面又は側面のうちのいずれか一方の面に取り付けられてもよく、下部配管682は下部胴体620bの側面に取り付けられてもよい。それぞれの配管680は、チャンバ100の外側に延びて該チャンバ100の外部に設けられたガス供給調節手段(図示せず)に連結される。このとき、それぞれの配管680とチャンバ100との間には別途の密封手段(図示せず)が設けられてもよい。ここで、密封手段は、例えば、ゴムパッキン、ガスケット及び封止シールなどをはじめとして密封に適した様々な密封手段であってもよい。   The pipe 680 includes an upper pipe 681 and a lower pipe 682. The upper pipe 681 may be attached to either the upper surface or the side surface of the upper body 620a, and the lower pipe 682 is attached to the side surface of the lower body 620b. It may be attached. Each pipe 680 extends outside the chamber 100 and is connected to a gas supply adjusting means (not shown) provided outside the chamber 100. At this time, a separate sealing means (not shown) may be provided between each pipe 680 and the chamber 100. Here, the sealing means may be various sealing means suitable for sealing including, for example, a rubber packing, a gasket, and a sealing seal.

ガス供給調節手段(図示せず)は、胴体620の内部空間にガスを注入し、且つ、胴体620の内部空間からガスを排気する役割を果たし、このとき、上部部分空間610aにガスを注入する場合に下部部分空間610bからガスを排気してもよく、下部部分空間610bにガスを注入する場合に上部部分空間610aからガスを排気してもよい。すなわち、ガス供給調節手段(図示せず)は、上部部分空間610a及び下部部分空間610bに選択的にガスを注入したり、上部部分空間610a及び下部部分空間610bから選択的にガスを排気したりし、ガスの注入及び排気は交互に行われる。このために、ガス供給調節手段(図示せず)は、複数配設されて上部配管681及び下部配管682にそれぞれ連結されてもよい。   The gas supply adjusting means (not shown) serves to inject gas into the interior space of the body 620 and exhaust gas from the interior space of the body 620. At this time, the gas is injected into the upper partial space 610a. In some cases, the gas may be exhausted from the lower partial space 610b, and when the gas is injected into the lower partial space 610b, the gas may be exhausted from the upper partial space 610a. That is, the gas supply adjusting means (not shown) selectively injects gas into the upper partial space 610a and the lower partial space 610b, or exhausts gas selectively from the upper partial space 610a and the lower partial space 610b. However, gas injection and exhaust are performed alternately. For this purpose, a plurality of gas supply adjusting means (not shown) may be provided and connected to the upper pipe 681 and the lower pipe 682, respectively.

A control valve (not shown) for controlling the movement of gas may be attached between the gas reservoir and the exhaust pump and pipe 680.

一方、図3に示すように、本発明の変形例に係る支持チャック600は、粘着部材650の外周面又は可動部材640の一方の端部の外周面と胴体620の貫通口622の内壁との間を封止するように貫通口622の一方の端部に取り付けられる封止部材690(691、692、693)をさらに備えていてもよい。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the support chuck 600 according to the modification of the present invention includes an outer peripheral surface of the adhesive member 650 or an outer peripheral surface of one end of the movable member 640 and an inner wall of the through-hole 622 of the body 620.

このために、貫通口622の一方の端部は、貫通口622の残りの領域又は中心領域よりも大きな内径を有するように形成されてもよく、これにより、封止部材690が取り付けられる空間が設けられてもよい。例えば、封止部材690は、粘着部材650の外周面から貫通口622の一方の端部の内壁に向かって延設される封止膜691と、該封止膜691を貫通口622の一方の端部に気密に取り付けるように、貫通口622の一方の端部の内壁に取り付けられるリング部材692とを備えていてもよい。   For this reason, one end portion of the through-hole 622 may be formed to have a larger inner diameter than the remaining region or the center region of the through-hole 622, thereby providing a space in which the sealing member 690 is attached. It may be provided. For example, the sealing member 690 includes a sealing film 691 extending from the outer peripheral surface of the adhesive member 650 toward the inner wall of one end of the through-hole 622, and the sealing film 691 as one of the through-holes 622. You may provide the ring member 692 attached to the inner wall of one edge part of the through-hole 622 so that it may attach to an edge part airtightly.

封止膜691は、例えば、弾性膜631と同じ材質により製作されてもよく、粘着部材650の外周面に形成される膜であってもよく、粘着部材650とは別途に設けられる膜であってもよい。粘着部材650とは別途に設けられる膜である場合に、封止膜691は粘着部材650の外周面又は可動部材640一方の端部の外周面に、例えば、接着材により気密に貼り付けられてもよい。   The sealing film 691 may be made of the same material as the elastic film 631, for example, or may be a film formed on the outer peripheral surface of the adhesive member 650, and is a film provided separately from the adhesive member 650. May be. When the adhesive member 650 is a film provided separately, the sealing film 691 is air-tightly attached to the outer peripheral surface of the adhesive member 650 or the outer peripheral surface of one end of the movable member 640 with an adhesive, for example.

The ring member 692 supports the sealing film 691 when the adhesive member 650 is moved, and one of the sealing film 691 and the through-hole 622 is provided. It plays a role of maintaining the sealed state of the end of the. The ring member 692 may be fastened to one end of the through-hole 622 with, for example, a bolt 693 or may be attached with an adhesive.

また、封止部材690は、胴体620の外側を向く方向の貫通口622の一方の端部に取り付けられて胴体620の外部に露出してもよく、また、胴体620の内側を向く方向の貫通口622の他方の端部が貫通口622の中心よりも大きな内径を有するように形成され、貫通口622の他方の端部に封止部材690が取り付けられて胴体620の内部に位置してもよい。   Further, the sealing member 690 may be attached to one end of the through-hole 622 in the direction facing the outside of the body 620 and exposed to the outside of the body 620, or may penetrate through in the direction facing the inside of the body 620.

Good.

図9に、本発明の実施形態に係る基板処理方法の手順を示す。以下、図1から図9に基づいて、本発明の実施形態に係る基板処理方法について説明する。このとき、本発明の実施形態に係る基板処理装置の説明と重複する説明は省略又は簡略化する。   FIG. 9 shows a procedure of the substrate processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. At this time, the description overlapping with the description of the substrate processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention is omitted or simplified.

基板処理方法は、上述した基板処理装置を用いて基板の貼り合わせを行う方法であり、上部基板S1及び下部基板S2を設ける過程と、下部基板S2を下部支持台300に支持させ、上部基板S1を上部支持台200に支持させる過程と、上部支持台200の支持チャック600を用いて上部基板S1を支持チャック600に固定する過程と、上部支持台200と下部支持台300との間の間隔を狭めて上部基板S1及び下部基板S2を密着する過程と、上部基板S1及び支持チャック600の固定を解放する過程と、上部支持台200及び下部支持台300から、貼り合わせられた基板を引き剥がす過程とを含む。   The substrate processing method is a method of bonding substrates using the above-described substrate processing apparatus. The process of providing the upper substrate S1 and the lower substrate S2, and the lower substrate S2 is supported by the lower support base 300, and the upper substrate S1 is provided. Of the upper support 200, the process of fixing the upper substrate S1 to the support chuck 600 using the support chuck 600 of the upper support 200, and the distance between the upper support 200 and the lower support 300. A process of narrowing and adhering the upper substrate S1 and the lower substrate S2, a process of releasing the fixation of the upper substrate S1 and the support chuck 600, and a process of peeling the bonded substrates from the upper support table 200 and the lower support table 300 Including.

ここで、上部基板S1を支持チャック600に固定する過程は、支持チャック600内の上部部分空間610aにガスを注入する過程と、支持チャック600の粘着部材650を下降させる過程と、上部基板S1に粘着部材650を粘着する過程とを含む。また、上部基板S1及び支持チャック600の固定を解放する過程は、支持チャック600内の下部部分空間610bにガスを注入する過程と、支持チャック600の粘着部材650を上昇させる過程と、上部基板S1から粘着部材650を引き離す過程とを含む。   Here, the process of fixing the upper substrate S1 to the support chuck 600 includes a process of injecting gas into the upper partial space 610a in the support chuck 600, a process of lowering the adhesive member 650 of the support chuck 600, and a process of fixing the upper substrate S1 to the upper substrate S1. A process of adhering the adhesive member 650. The process of releasing the fixation of the upper substrate S1 and the support chuck 600 includes a process of injecting gas into the lower partial space 610b in the support chuck 600, a process of raising the adhesive member 650 of the support chuck 600, and an upper substrate S1. And the process of pulling the adhesive member 650 away from.

まず、基板を用意する(ステップS100)。例えば、ロボットアーム(図示せず)を用いて上部基板S1を上部支持台200の下側に位置させ、下部基板S2を下部支持台300の上側に位置させる。このとき、下部基板S2の上面には下部基板S2の周縁部に沿って接合部材(図示せず)、例えば、シーラントが設けられてもよい。   First, a substrate is prepared (step S100). For example, the upper substrate S1 is positioned below the upper support base 200 and the lower substrate S2 is positioned above the lower support base 300 using a robot arm (not shown). At this time, a bonding member (not shown), for example, a sealant, may be provided on the upper surface of the lower substrate S2 along the peripheral edge of the lower substrate S2.

次いで、図4及び図5に示すように、下部基板S2を下部支持台300の上面に載置支持させ(ステップS210)、上部基板S1を上部支持台200の支持チャック600に真空吸着方式を用いて支持させる(ステップS220)。上部基板S1を上部支持台200の支持チャック600に吸着支持させる過程は、例えば、リフト部材500を下降させて上部基板S1に接触させ、真空吸着方式を用いてリフト部材500に上部基板S1を支持させた状態で、リフト部材500を上昇させて上部基板S1の上面と支持チャック600の支持面とを接触させることにより行われる。次いで、支持面の真空孔623に真空を形成して上部基板S1を支持面に吸着支持させる。   4 and 5, the lower substrate S2 is placed and supported on the upper surface of the lower support base 300 (step S210), and the upper substrate S1 is used for the support chuck 600 of the upper support base 200 by using a vacuum suction method. (Step S220). The process of sucking and supporting the upper substrate S1 on the support chuck 600 of the upper support base 200 includes, for example, lowering the lift member 500 to contact the upper substrate S1 and supporting the upper substrate S1 on the lift member 500 using a vacuum suction method. In this state, the lift member 500 is raised to bring the upper surface of the upper substrate S1 into contact with the support surface of the support chuck 600. Next, a vacuum is formed in the vacuum hole 623 on the support surface, and the upper substrate S1 is sucked and supported on the support surface.

次いで、支持チャック600の上部部分空間610aと連結されたガス供給源の制御弁(図示せず)を開いてガス供給源(図示せず)から支持チャック600の上部部分空間610aに不活性ガス、例えば、窒素ガスを注入する(ステップS310)。このとき、シャワーヘッド660によりガスは上部部分空間610a内に均一に噴射される。ガスの注入により弾性膜631は膨張し、シャワーヘッド660及び補強板632により膨張方向が胴体620の厚手方向に制御される。伸縮部材630の下降によりここに取り付けられた可動部材640及び粘着部材650が下降する(ステップS320)。このとき、緩衝部材670が伸縮部材630の移動方向に収縮され、伸縮部材630に所定の弾性力を加え、弾性力により伸縮部材630は安定的に移動する。   Then, a control valve (not shown) of a gas supply source connected to the upper partial space 610a of the support chuck 600 is opened, and an inert gas from the gas supply source (not shown) to the upper partial space 610a of the support chuck 600, For example, nitrogen gas is injected (step S310). At this time, the gas is uniformly injected into the upper partial space 610a by the shower head 660. The elastic film 631 expands by the gas injection, and the expansion direction is controlled by the shower head 660 and the reinforcing plate 632 in the thick direction of the body 620. As the telescopic member 630 descends, the movable member 640 and the adhesive member 650 attached here descend (step S320). At this time, the buffer member 670 is contracted in the moving direction of the expansion / contraction member 630, a predetermined elastic force is applied to the expansion / contraction member 630, and the expansion / contraction member 630 moves stably by the elastic force.

伸縮部材630がガイド部材671と接触すれば、伸縮部材630の移動が止まる。すなわち、ガイド部材671はストッパの役割を果たす。このような過程が行われることにより、粘着部材650の粘着面は基板に向かって加圧及び移動して基板の上面に押し付けられ、これにより、粘着面651を介して粘着部材650と基板とが粘着される(ステップS330)。   When the elastic member 630 comes into contact with the guide member 671, the movement of the elastic member 630 stops. That is, the guide member 671 serves as a stopper. By performing such a process, the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 650 is pressed and moved toward the substrate and is pressed against the upper surface of the substrate, whereby the adhesive member 650 and the substrate are bonded via the adhesive surface 651. Adhesion is made (step S330).

ここで、上部部分空間610aに不活性ガスが供給される前に、すなわち、伸縮部材630の初期位置における粘着部材650の粘着面が、下部胴体620bの支持面と並ぶように位置するか、又は上記の支持面から基板を向く方向に所定の間隔だけ突出して位置する。粘着部材650の目的とする位置は、初期の状態における伸縮部材630を、弾性力を用いて支持するように緩衝部材670に配設される弾性部材672の長さを調節することにより容易に選択される。   Here, before the inert gas is supplied to the upper partial space 610a, that is, the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 650 at the initial position of the elastic member 630 is positioned so as to be aligned with the support surface of the lower body 620b, or It protrudes by a predetermined distance in the direction facing the substrate from the support surface. The target position of the adhesive member 650 is easily selected by adjusting the length of the elastic member 672 disposed on the buffer member 670 so as to support the elastic member 630 in the initial state using elastic force. Is done.

基板が粘着されれば、上部部分空間610aに連結された制御弁を閉じて上部部分空間610aへのガス注入を遮断する。このとき、上部部分空間610aに注入されたガスを保持するか、又は上部配管681を介して上部部分空間610aからガスを排気する。ガスを排気する場合は、伸縮部材630が緩衝部材670により元の位置に戻り、粘着部材650の粘着面が基板を押し付ける動作が止まり、その結果、粘着面は元の位置に戻る。   If the substrate is adhered, the control valve connected to the upper partial space 610a is closed to block gas injection into the upper partial space 610a. At this time, the gas injected into the upper partial space 610a is held, or the gas is exhausted from the upper partial space 610a via the upper pipe 681. When the gas is exhausted, the expansion / contraction member 630 returns to the original position by the buffer member 670, and the operation of pressing the substrate against the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 650 stops, and as a result, the adhesive surface returns to the original position.

一方、基板の粘着過程において粘着部材650の押し付けにより基板の所定の領域が変形されることがあるが、粘着部材650の粘着面が基板を押し付ける動作が止まることにより、基板の変形が解除されて元の形状に戻る。   On the other hand, a predetermined region of the substrate may be deformed by pressing the adhesive member 650 during the adhesion process of the substrate. However, the operation of pressing the substrate by the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 650 stops, so that the deformation of the substrate is released. Return to the original shape.

次いで、基板と粘着部材650との粘着が終わると、チャンバ100を密閉し、基板を各支持台に設ける過程、すなわち、基板の搬入過程において大気圧(atm)の雰囲気が形成されていたチャンバ100の内部雰囲気を真空雰囲気に切り換える。このとき、支持チャック600の真空孔623に形成されていた真空が破壊されながら真空孔623と上部基板S1との真空吸着が解放されるが、上部基板S1は粘着部材650に粘着支持されることによりその固定状態が維持される。   Next, when the adhesion between the substrate and the adhesive member 650 is finished, the chamber 100 is sealed, and the chamber 100 in which an atmosphere of atmospheric pressure (atm) is formed in the process of providing the substrate on each support base, that is, in the process of loading the substrate. Switch the internal atmosphere to a vacuum atmosphere. At this time, vacuum suction between the vacuum hole 623 and the upper substrate S1 is released while the vacuum formed in the vacuum hole 623 of the support chuck 600 is broken, but the upper substrate S1 is adhesively supported by the adhesive member 650. Thus, the fixed state is maintained.

すなわち、粘着部材650と上部基板S1との粘着が終わると、チャンバ100の内部雰囲気の制御により支持チャック600の真空孔623の真空状態が破壊されても粘着部材650の粘着力により上部基板S1が固定支持される。   That is, when the adhesion between the adhesive member 650 and the upper substrate S <b> 1 is finished, the upper substrate S <b> 1 is attached to the upper substrate S <b> 1 by the adhesive force of the adhesive member 650 even if the vacuum state of the vacuum hole 623 of the support chuck 600 is broken by controlling the internal atmosphere of the chamber 100. Fixedly supported.

次いで、上部基板S1及び下部基板S2を位置合わせする(ステップS400)。また、チャンバ100の内部を真空状態に維持する。   Next, the upper substrate S1 and the lower substrate S2 are aligned (step S400). Further, the inside of the chamber 100 is maintained in a vacuum state.

次いで、上部支持台200及び下部支持台300のうちの少なくとも一方を用いて上部基板S1と下部基板S2との間の間隔を狭める。例えば、図6に示すように、下部支持台300を上昇させて上部基板S1及び下部基板S2を密着させる(ステップS500)。もちろん、これと同時に上部支持台200を下降させてこれらを密着させてもよい。   Next, the interval between the upper substrate S1 and the lower substrate S2 is narrowed using at least one of the upper support 200 and the lower support 300. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower support base 300 is raised to bring the upper substrate S1 and the lower substrate S2 into close contact (step S500). Of course, at the same time, the upper support 200 may be lowered to bring them into close contact.

密着が終わると、図7に示すように、支持チャック600の下部部分空間610bと連結されたガス供給源(図示せず)の制御弁(図示せず)を開いてガス供給源から支持チャック600の下部部分空間610bに不活性ガス、例えば、窒素ガスを注入する(ステップS610)。このとき、支持チャック600内の上部部分空間610aに既に注入されたガスを、上部配管681を介して排気する。このような過程において下部部分空間610bに注入されるガスの注入速度及び圧力と、上部部分空間610aに注入されるガスの注入速度及び圧力を目的とする割合に調整することにより、伸縮部材630の上昇を円滑に行うことができる。   When the contact is completed, as shown in FIG. 7, a control valve (not shown) of a gas supply source (not shown) connected to the lower partial space 610b of the support chuck 600 is opened and the support chuck 600 is opened from the gas supply source. An inert gas, for example, nitrogen gas, is injected into the lower partial space 610b (step S610). At this time, the gas already injected into the upper partial space 610 a in the support chuck 600 is exhausted through the upper pipe 681. In such a process, by adjusting the injection speed and pressure of the gas injected into the lower partial space 610b and the injection speed and pressure of the gas injected into the upper partial space 610a to a target ratio, Ascending can be performed smoothly.

ガスの注入により下側に膨張した弾性膜631は、元の位置に収縮した後に、場合によって上側に向かって膨張する。詳しくは、可動部材640の上端部がシャワーヘッド660に接触するまで、補強板632を上昇させるように弾性膜631がシャワーヘッド660を向く方向にさらに膨張する。もちろん、このときにも、補強板632により弾性膜631の膨張方向が胴体620の厚手方向に制御される。伸縮部材630の上昇により、ここに取り付けられた可動部材640及び粘着部材650が上昇する(ステップS620)。   The elastic film 631 expanded downward by the gas injection contracts to the original position and then expands upward as the case may be. Specifically, the elastic film 631 further expands in the direction facing the shower head 660 so as to raise the reinforcing plate 632 until the upper end of the movable member 640 contacts the shower head 660. Of course, also at this time, the expansion direction of the elastic film 631 is controlled by the reinforcing plate 632 in the thick direction of the body 620. As the telescopic member 630 is raised, the movable member 640 and the adhesive member 650 attached here are raised (step S620).

このとき、緩衝部材670が伸縮部材630の移動方向に弾性復元され、伸縮部材630に所定の弾性力を加え、該弾性力により伸縮部材630は安定的に移動される。可動部材640の上端部がシャワーヘッド660に接触すれば、伸縮部材630の移動が止まる。すなわち、可動部材640の上端部、例えば、上部可動部材640aは、ストッパの役割を果たす。   At this time, the buffer member 670 is elastically restored in the moving direction of the elastic member 630, a predetermined elastic force is applied to the elastic member 630, and the elastic member 630 is stably moved by the elastic force. When the upper end of the movable member 640 comes into contact with the shower head 660, the movement of the telescopic member 630 stops. That is, the upper end portion of the movable member 640, for example, the upper movable member 640a serves as a stopper.

このような過程により、粘着部材650の粘着面は基板から遠ざかる方向に移動して上部基板S1の上面から粘着が解除され、これにより、粘着部材650が上部基板S1から引き離される(ステップS630)。支持チャック600から引き離された上部基板S1は、下部基板S2の上に載置支持される。粘着部材650と上部基板S1との粘着が解除されれば、下部部分空間610bに連結された制御弁を閉じてガスの注入を止める。次いで、下部配管682を介してここに供給されたガスを排気する。これにより、粘着部材650が元の位置に戻る。   Through such a process, the adhesive surface of the adhesive member 650 moves away from the substrate and the adhesion is released from the upper surface of the upper substrate S1, whereby the adhesive member 650 is separated from the upper substrate S1 (step S630). The upper substrate S1 separated from the support chuck 600 is placed and supported on the lower substrate S2. When the adhesion between the adhesive member 650 and the upper substrate S1 is released, the control valve connected to the lower partial space 610b is closed to stop the gas injection. Next, the gas supplied here is exhausted through the lower pipe 682. Thereby, the adhesive member 650 returns to the original position.

上述したように、粘着部材650を支持チャック600の内側方向に移動させながら粘着部材650と上部基板S1との粘着を解除する間に、支持チャック600の支持面及び上部基板S1間の接触支持状態が維持されるので、従来よりも基板の引き離しを安定的に行うことができ、位置合わせされた基板のゆがみを防ぐことができる。   As described above, while releasing the adhesion between the adhesive member 650 and the upper substrate S1 while moving the adhesive member 650 in the inward direction of the support chuck 600, the contact support state between the support surface of the support chuck 600 and the upper substrate S1. Therefore, the substrate can be pulled more stably than before, and the aligned substrate can be prevented from being distorted.

一方、本発明に係る実施形態においては、貫通口622の一方の端部に封止部材690が設けられても設けられなくてもよく、封止部材690が設けられない場合は、下部部分空間610bに注入されるガスのうちの少なくとも一部は貫通口622と粘着部材650との間に噴射される。これにより、下部部分空間610bに注入されるガスは、上部基板S1を支持チャック600から引き離す間に上部基板S1の支持チャック600からの引き離しを補助するパージガスの役割を果たす。   On the other hand, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the sealing member 690 may or may not be provided at one end of the through-hole 622. When the sealing member 690 is not provided, the lower partial space is provided. At least a part of the gas injected into 610b is injected between the through hole 622 and the adhesive member 650. As a result, the gas injected into the lower partial space 610b serves as a purge gas that assists the separation of the upper substrate S1 from the support chuck 600 while the upper substrate S1 is separated from the support chuck 600.

次いで、図8に示すように、上部支持台200を上昇させる(ステップS700)。このとき、上部支持台200を上昇させる間に、又は上部支持台200の上昇前後に支持チャック600の下部部分空間610bに注入されたガスを排気して注入ガスにより支持チャック600内部構成部にそれぞれ働く圧力を解放し、その状態を初期の状態に切り換えることができる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper support base 200 is raised (step S700). At this time, the gas injected into the lower partial space 610b of the support chuck 600 is exhausted while the upper support base 200 is raised or before and after the upper support base 200 is lifted, and the injected gas is supplied to the internal components of the support chuck 600, respectively. The working pressure can be released and the state can be switched to the initial state.

次いで、下部支持台300に設けられたリフト部材500を上昇させて下部支持台300から基板を引き離した後、これを別途の硬化装置(図示せず)に移動させる。また、硬化装置を用いて接合部材、例えば、シーラントに光、例えば、紫外線(UV)を照射して、これを硬化させて基板の貼り合わせを終える(ステップS800)。   Next, after lifting the lift member 500 provided on the lower support base 300 and pulling the substrate away from the lower support base 300, the lift member 500 is moved to a separate curing device (not shown). Further, the bonding member, for example, the sealant is irradiated with light, for example, ultraviolet rays (UV) by using a curing device, and is cured to complete the bonding of the substrates (step S800).

本発明は、基板を貼り合わせる工程及び装置の場合を例示したが、これ以外の様々な基板処理工程及びこれを行う装置にも適用可能である。一方、本発明に係る実施形態はその説明のためのものであり、その制限のためのものではないということに留意すべきである。なお、本発明が属する技術分野における当業者であれば、本発明の技術思想の範囲内において、種々の実施形態が採用可能であるということが理解できる筈である。   The present invention exemplifies the case of a process and an apparatus for bonding substrates, but can also be applied to various substrate processing processes and apparatuses for performing the process. On the other hand, it should be noted that the embodiment according to the present invention is for explanation and not for limitation. A person skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can understand that various embodiments can be employed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
