Description

本発明は、基板載置装置、基板載置方法、成膜装置、成膜方法、アライメント装置、アライメント方法、および、電子デバイスの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a substrate mounting apparatus, a substrate mounting method, a film forming apparatus, a film forming method, an alignment apparatus, an alignment method, and an electronic device manufacturing method.

有機ELディスプレイ等の電子デバイス製造において、基板に有機材料を蒸着させる工程がある。蒸着装置は蒸着工程において、基板の周縁部(四辺)を支持または挟持する基板保持ユニットによって、基板を支持している。また、基板保持ユニットは、基板を支持した状態で、基板をマスク等の載置体に接触および載置させる。ここで、基板の外周のうち、一方の対向辺部(例えば長辺部)では基板を挟持し、他方の対向辺部(例えば短辺部)では挟持せずに支持のみする。特許文献1には、蒸着により有機ELディスプレイを製造する装置の一例が記載されている。   In manufacturing an electronic device such as an organic EL display, there is a step of depositing an organic material on a substrate. In the vapor deposition process, the vapor deposition apparatus supports the substrate by a substrate holding unit that supports or sandwiches the peripheral edge (four sides) of the substrate. In addition, the substrate holding unit contacts and places the substrate on a mounting body such as a mask while supporting the substrate. Here, of the outer periphery of the substrate, the substrate is sandwiched between one opposing side portion (for example, the long side portion) and supported only without being sandwiched between the other opposing side portion (for example, the short side portion). Patent Document 1 describes an example of an apparatus for manufacturing an organic EL display by vapor deposition.

特開2009−277655号公報JP 2009-277655 A

上記の、有機材料等を蒸着する際の挟持工程において、成膜領域を基板中央部に設ける関係上、基板を挟持できるのは基板の周縁部に限られている。そのため、基板自体の重量によって中央部に撓みが発生する場合がある。特に近年、基板の大型化、薄型化が進んでおり、基板を載置する際の自重による撓みの影響が大きくなっている。撓みが発生した状態で基板を載置体に載置すると、基板に歪みが発生し、その歪みをアライメントにより修正するために時間が掛かったり、製造品質が低下したりするおそれがある。   In the sandwiching step when vapor-depositing an organic material or the like, the substrate can be sandwiched only at the peripheral portion of the substrate because the film formation region is provided at the center of the substrate. Therefore, the center part may bend due to the weight of the substrate itself. In particular, in recent years, the substrate is becoming larger and thinner, and the influence of bending due to its own weight when placing the substrate is increasing. When the substrate is placed on the mounting body in a state where the bending has occurred, the substrate is distorted, and it may take time to correct the distortion by alignment, and the production quality may be deteriorated.

本発明は上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、有機ELディスプレイの製造において基板を載置体に載置するときの歪みを低減することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of the said subject, and it aims at reducing the distortion at the time of mounting a board | substrate on a mounting body in manufacture of an organic electroluminescent display.

本発明は、基板上に薄膜を形成する成膜装置及びその制御方法に関し、特に、基板の高精度な搬送および位置調整のための技術に関する。本発明は、平行平板の基板の表面に真空蒸着により所望のパターンの薄膜(材料層)を形成する装置に好ましく適用できる。基板の材料としては、ガラス、樹脂、金属などの任意の材料を選択でき、また、蒸着材料としても、有機材料、無機材料(金属、金属酸化物など)などの任意の材料を選択できる。また、有機膜だけではなく金属膜を成膜することも可能である。本発明の技術は、具体的には、有機電子デバイス(例えば、有機EL表示装置、薄膜太陽電池)、光学部材などの製造装置に適用可能である。なかでも、有機EL表示装置の製造装置は、基板の大型化あるいは表示パネルの高精細化により基板の搬送精度及び基板とマスクのアライメント精度のさらなる向上が要求されているため、本発明の好ましい適用例の一つである。   The present invention relates to a film forming apparatus for forming a thin film on a substrate and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a technique for highly accurate conveyance and position adjustment of a substrate.

<Manufacturing equipment and manufacturing process>
FIG. 1 is a top view schematically showing a part of the configuration of an electronic device manufacturing apparatus. The manufacturing apparatus of FIG. 1 is used, for example, for manufacturing a display panel of an organic EL display device for a smartphone. In the case of a display panel for a smartphone, for example, after forming an organic EL film on a substrate having a size of about 1800 mm × about 1500 mm and a thickness of about 0.5 mm, the substrate is diced to produce a plurality of small size panels. The

電子デバイスの製造装置は、一般に、図1に示すように、複数の成膜室111、112と、搬送室110とを有する。搬送室110内には、基板10を保持し搬送する搬送ロボット119が設けられている。搬送ロボット119は、例えば、多関節アームに、基板を
保持するロボットハンドが取り付けられた構造をもつロボットであり、各成膜室への基板10の搬入/搬出を行う。
An electronic device manufacturing apparatus generally has a plurality of film forming chambers 111 and 112 and a transfer chamber 110 as shown in FIG. In the transfer chamber 110, a transfer robot 119 for holding and transferring the substrate 10 is provided. The transfer robot 119 is, for example, a robot having a structure in which a robot hand that holds a substrate is attached to an articulated arm, and carries the substrate 10 into and out of each film forming chamber.

各成膜室111、112にはそれぞれ成膜装置(蒸着装置ともよぶ)が設けられている。搬送ロボット119との基板10の受け渡し、基板10とマスクの相対位置の調整(アライメント)、マスク上への基板10の固定、成膜(蒸着)などの一連の成膜プロセスは、成膜装置によって自動で行われる。各成膜室の成膜装置は、蒸着源の違いやマスクの違いなど細かい点で相違する部分はあるものの、基本的な構成(特に基板の搬送やアライメントに関わる構成)はほぼ共通している。以下、各成膜室の成膜装置の共通構成について説明する。   Each of the film formation chambers 111 and 112 is provided with a film formation apparatus (also referred to as a vapor deposition apparatus). A series of film formation processes such as delivery of the substrate 10 to the transfer robot 119, adjustment of the relative position between the substrate 10 and the mask (alignment), fixation of the substrate 10 on the mask, film formation (evaporation) are performed by the film formation apparatus. It is done automatically. The film forming apparatus in each film forming chamber has almost the same basic structure (particularly, the structure related to substrate transport and alignment), although there are differences in details such as the difference in vapor deposition source and mask. . Hereinafter, a common configuration of the film forming apparatuses in the respective film forming chambers will be described.

<成膜装置>
図2は、成膜装置の構成を模式的に示す断面図である。以下の説明においては、鉛直方向をZ方向とするXYZ直交座標系を用いる。成膜時に基板は水平面(XY平面)と平行となるよう固定されるものとし、このときの基板の短手方向(短辺に平行な方向)をX方向、長手方向(長辺に平行な方向)をY方向とする。またZ軸まわりの回転角をθで表す。
<Deposition system>
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the film forming apparatus. In the following description, an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system in which the vertical direction is the Z direction is used. At the time of film formation, the substrate is fixed so as to be parallel to the horizontal plane (XY plane), and the short direction (direction parallel to the short side) of the substrate at this time is the X direction, and the long direction (direction parallel to the long side). ) In the Y direction. The rotation angle around the Z axis is represented by θ.

成膜装置は、真空チャンバ200を有する。真空チャンバ200の内部は、真空雰囲気か、窒素ガスなどの不活性ガス雰囲気に維持されている。真空チャンバ200の内部には、概略、基板保持ユニット210と、マスク220と、マスク台221と、冷却板230と、蒸着源240が設けられる。基板保持ユニット210は、搬送ロボット119から受け取った基板10を保持・搬送する手段であり、基板ホルダとも呼ばれる。マスク220は、基板10上に形成する所定パターンの薄膜パターンに対応する開口パターンをもつメタルマスクであり、枠状のマスク台221の上に固定されている。成膜時にはマスク220の上に基板10が載置される。したがってマスク220は基板10を載置する載置体としての役割も担う。冷却板230は、成膜時に基板10(のマスク220とは反対側の面)に密着し、基板10の温度上昇を抑えることで有機材料の変質や劣化を抑制する部材である。冷却板230がマグネット板を兼ねていてもよい。マグネット板とは、磁力によってマスク220を引き付けることで、成膜時の基板10とマスク220の密着性を高める部材である。蒸着源240は、蒸着材料、ヒータ、シャッタ、蒸発源の駆動機構、蒸発レートモニタなどから構成される(いずれも不図示)。   The film forming apparatus has a vacuum chamber 200. The inside of the vacuum chamber 200 is maintained in a vacuum atmosphere or an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas. In the vacuum chamber 200, a substrate holding unit 210, a mask 220, a mask base 221, a cooling plate 230, and a vapor deposition source 240 are generally provided. The substrate holding unit 210 is means for holding and transporting the substrate 10 received from the transport robot 119, and is also called a substrate holder. The mask 220 is a metal mask having an opening pattern corresponding to a predetermined thin film pattern formed on the substrate 10, and is fixed on a frame-shaped mask base 221. The substrate 10 is placed on the mask 220 during film formation. Therefore, the mask 220 also serves as a mounting body on which the substrate 10 is mounted. The cooling plate 230 is a member that is in close contact with the substrate 10 (the surface opposite to the mask 220) during film formation and suppresses an increase in temperature of the substrate 10, thereby suppressing deterioration and deterioration of the organic material. The cooling plate 230 may also serve as a magnet plate.

<基板保持ユニット>
図3を参照して基板保持ユニット210の構成を説明する。図3は基板保持ユニット210の斜視図である。
基板保持ユニット210は、挟持機構(挟持具とも呼ぶ)によって基板10の周縁部を挟持することにより、基板10を保持・搬送する手段である。具体的には、基板保持ユニット210は、基板10の4辺それぞれを下から支持する複数の支持具300が設けられた支持枠体301と、各支持具300との間で基板10を挟み込む複数の押圧具302が設けられたクランプ部材303とを有する。一対の支持具300と押圧具302とで1つの挟持機構が構成される。図3の例では、基板10の短辺に沿って3つの支持具300が配置され、長辺に沿って6つの挟持機構(支持具300と押圧具302のペア)が配置されており、長辺2辺を挟持する構成となっている。ただし挟持機構の構成は図3の例に限られず、処理対象となる基板のサイズや形状あるいは成膜条件などに合わせて、挟持機構の数や配置を適宜変更してもよい。なお、支持具300は「受け爪」又は「フィンガ」とも呼ばれ、押圧具302は「クランプ」とも呼ばれる。
<Board holding unit>
The configuration of the substrate holding unit 210 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the substrate holding unit 210.
The substrate holding unit 210 is means for holding and transporting the substrate 10 by clamping the peripheral edge portion of the substrate 10 by a clamping mechanism (also called a clamping tool). Specifically, the substrate holding unit 210 includes a plurality of support frames 301 provided with a plurality of support tools 300 that support each of the four sides of the substrate 10 from below, and a plurality of the substrate 10 sandwiched between the support tools 300. And a clamp member 303 provided with the pressing tool 302. The pair of support tools 300 and the pressing tool 302 constitute one clamping mechanism. In the example of FIG. 3, three support tools 300 are arranged along the short side of the substrate 10, and six clamping mechanisms (a pair of the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302) are arranged along the long side. It is configured to sandwich two sides. However, the configuration of the clamping mechanism is not limited to the example of FIG. 3, and the number and arrangement of the clamping mechanisms may be changed as appropriate in accordance with the size and shape of the substrate to be processed or the film formation conditions. The support tool 300 is also called a “receiving claw” or “finger”, and the pressing tool 302 is also called a “clamp”.

搬送ロボット119から基板保持ユニット210への基板10の受け渡しは例えば次のように行われる。まず、クランプZアクチュエータ251によりクランプ部材303を上昇させ、押圧具302を支持具300から離間させることで、挟持機構を解放状態にする。搬送ロボット119によって支持具300と押圧具302の間に基板10を導入した後、クランプZアクチュエータ251によってクランプ部材303を下降させ、押圧具30
2を所定の押圧力で支持具300に押し当てる。これにより、押圧具302と支持具300の間で基板10が挟持される。この状態で基板Zアクチュエータ250により基板保持ユニット210を駆動することで、基板10を昇降(Z方向移動)させることができる。なお、クランプZアクチュエータ251は基板保持ユニット210と共に上昇/下降するため、基板保持ユニット210が昇降しても挟持機構の状態は変化しない。かかる構成を、基板昇降手段とも呼ぶ。基板昇降手段は、制御部やアクチュエータなども含めた載置手段に含まれると考えても良い。なお、マスク220を昇降させる載置体昇降手段を設けることによっても、マスク220と基板10を接触させることができる。さらに基板昇降手段とともに載置体昇降手段を設けても良い。
For example, the transfer of the substrate 10 from the transfer robot 119 to the substrate holding unit 210 is performed as follows. First, the clamp member 303 is raised by the clamp Z actuator 251, and the pressing tool 302 is separated from the support tool 300, so that the clamping mechanism is released. After the substrate 10 is introduced between the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302 by the transfer robot 119, the clamp member 303 is lowered by the clamp Z actuator 251, and the pressing tool 30.
2 is pressed against the support 300 with a predetermined pressing force. As a result, the substrate 10 is sandwiched between the pressing tool 302 and the support tool 300. In this state, by driving the substrate holding unit 210 by the substrate Z actuator 250, the substrate 10 can be moved up and down (moved in the Z direction). Since the clamp Z actuator 251 is raised / lowered together with the substrate holding unit 210, the state of the clamping mechanism does not change even when the substrate holding unit 210 is raised / lowered. Such a configuration is also referred to as substrate lifting / lowering means. The substrate lifting / lowering means may be considered to be included in mounting means including a control unit and an actuator. Note that the mask 220 and the substrate 10 can also be brought into contact with each other by providing a mounting body elevating means for elevating the mask 220. Furthermore, a mounting body lifting / lowering means may be provided together with the substrate lifting / lowering means.

<電子デバイスの製造方法の実施例>
次に、本実施形態の成膜装置を用いた電子デバイスの製造方法の一例を説明する。以下、電子デバイスの例として有機EL表示装置の構成及び製造方法を例示する。
まず、製造する有機EL表示装置について説明する。図4(a)は有機EL表示装置60の全体図、図4(b)は1画素の断面構造を表している。
<Example of Manufacturing Method of Electronic Device>
Next, an example of an electronic device manufacturing method using the film forming apparatus of the present embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, as an example of an electronic device, a configuration and a manufacturing method of an organic EL display device will be exemplified.
First, an organic EL display device to be manufactured will be described. 4A shows an overall view of the organic EL display device 60, and FIG. 4B shows a cross-sectional structure of one pixel.

図4(a)に示すように、有機EL表示装置60の表示領域61には、発光素子を複数備える画素62がマトリクス状に複数配置されている。詳細は後で説明するが、発光素子のそれぞれは、一対の電極に挟まれた有機層を備えた構造を有している。なお、ここでいう画素とは、表示領域61において所望の色の表示を可能とする最小単位を指している。本実施例にかかる有機EL表示装置の場合、互いに異なる発光を示す第1発光素子62R、第2発光素子62G、第3発光素子62Bの組合せにより画素62が構成されている。画素62は、赤色発光素子と緑色発光素子と青色発光素子の組合せで構成されることが多いが、黄色発光素子とシアン発光素子と白色発光素子の組み合わせでもよく、少なくとも1色以上であれば特に制限されるものではない。   As shown in FIG. 4A, in the display area 61 of the organic EL display device 60, a plurality of pixels 62 each including a plurality of light emitting elements are arranged in a matrix. Although details will be described later, each of the light-emitting elements has a structure including an organic layer sandwiched between a pair of electrodes. Here, the pixel refers to a minimum unit that enables display of a desired color in the display area 61. In the case of the organic EL display device according to this example, the pixel 62 is configured by a combination of the first light emitting element 62R, the second light emitting element 62G, and the third light emitting element 62B that emit different light. The pixel 62 is often composed of a combination of a red light emitting element, a green light emitting element, and a blue light emitting element, but may be a combination of a yellow light emitting element, a cyan light emitting element, and a white light emitting element. It is not limited.

図4(b)は、図4(a)のA−B線における部分断面模式図である。画素62は、基板63上に、第1電極(陽極)64と、正孔輸送層65と、発光層66R,66G,66Bのいずれかと、電子輸送層67と、第2電極(陰極)68と、を備える有機EL素子を有している。これらのうち、正孔輸送層65、発光層66R,66G,66B、電子輸送層67が有機層に当たる。また、本実施形態では、発光層66Rは赤色を発する有機EL層、発光層66Gは緑色を発する有機EL層、発光層66Bは青色を発する有機EL層である。発光層66R,66G,66Bは、それぞれ赤色、緑色、青色を発する発光素子(有機EL素子と記述する場合もある)に対応するパターンに形成されている。また、第1電極64は、発光素子ごとに分離して形成されている。正孔輸送層65と電子輸送層67と第2電極68は、複数の発光素子62R,62G,62Bと共通で形成されていてもよいし、発光素子毎に形成されていてもよい。なお、第1電極64と第2電極68とが異物によってショートするのを防ぐために、第1電極64間に絶縁層69が設けられている。さらに、有機EL層は水分や酸素によって劣化するため、水分や酸素から有機EL素子を保護するための保護層70が設けられている。   FIG. 4B is a schematic partial cross-sectional view taken along the line AB of FIG. The pixel 62 includes a first electrode (anode) 64, a hole transport layer 65, one of the light emitting layers 66 </ b> R, 66 </ b> G, and 66 </ b> B, an electron transport layer 67, and a second electrode (cathode) 68 on a substrate 63. And an organic EL element. Among these, the hole transport layer 65, the light emitting layers 66R, 66G, and 66B, and the electron transport layer 67 correspond to the organic layer. In the present embodiment, the light emitting layer 66R is an organic EL layer that emits red, the light emitting layer 66G is an organic EL layer that emits green, and the light emitting layer 66B is an organic EL layer that emits blue. The light emitting layers 66R, 66G, and 66B are formed in patterns corresponding to light emitting elements that emit red, green, and blue (sometimes referred to as organic EL elements). The first electrode 64 is formed separately for each light emitting element. The hole transport layer 65, the electron transport layer 67, and the second electrode 68 may be formed in common with the plurality of light emitting elements 62R, 62G, and 62B, or may be formed for each light emitting element. Note that an insulating layer 69 is provided between the first electrodes 64 in order to prevent the first electrode 64 and the second electrode 68 from being short-circuited by foreign matter. Furthermore, since the organic EL layer is deteriorated by moisture and oxygen, a protective layer 70 for protecting the organic EL element from moisture and oxygen is provided.

有機EL層を発光素子単位に形成するためには、マスクを介して成膜する方法が用いられる。近年、表示装置の高精細化が進んでおり、有機EL層の形成には開口の幅が数十μmのマスクが用いられる。このようなマスクを用いた成膜の場合、マスクが成膜中に蒸発源から受熱して熱変形するとマスクと基板との位置がずれてしまい、基板上に形成される薄膜のパターンが所望の位置からずれて形成されてしまう。そこで、これら有機EL層の
成膜には本発明にかかる成膜装置(真空蒸着装置)が好適に用いられる。
In order to form the organic EL layer in units of light emitting elements, a method of forming a film through a mask is used. In recent years, display devices have been improved in definition, and a mask having an opening width of several tens of μm is used for forming an organic EL layer. In the case of film formation using such a mask, if the mask receives heat from the evaporation source during film formation and is thermally deformed, the position of the mask and the substrate is shifted, and the pattern of the thin film formed on the substrate is desired. It will be formed out of position. Therefore, a film forming apparatus (vacuum evaporation apparatus) according to the present invention is suitably used for forming these organic EL layers.

次に、有機EL表示装置の製造方法の例について具体的に説明する。
まず、有機EL表示装置を駆動するための回路(不図示)および第1電極64が形成された基板63を準備する。
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing an organic EL display device will be specifically described.
First, a circuit (not shown) for driving the organic EL display device and a substrate 63 on which the first electrode 64 is formed are prepared.

第1電極64が形成された基板63の上にアクリル樹脂をスピンコートで形成し、アクリル樹脂をリソグラフィ法により、第1電極64が形成された部分に開口が形成されるようにパターニングし絶縁層69を形成する。この開口部が、発光素子が実際に発光する発光領域に相当する。   An acrylic resin is formed by spin coating on the substrate 63 on which the first electrode 64 is formed, and the acrylic resin is patterned by a lithography method so that an opening is formed in a portion where the first electrode 64 is formed. 69 is formed. This opening corresponds to a light emitting region where the light emitting element actually emits light.

絶縁層69がパターニングされた基板63を第1の成膜装置に搬入し、基板保持ユニットにて基板を保持し、正孔輸送層65を、表示領域の第1電極64の上に共通する層として成膜する。正孔輸送層65は真空蒸着により成膜される。実際には正孔輸送層65は表示領域61よりも大きなサイズに形成されるため、高精細なマスクは不要である。   The substrate 63 patterned with the insulating layer 69 is carried into the first film formation apparatus, the substrate is held by the substrate holding unit, and the hole transport layer 65 is a common layer on the first electrode 64 in the display region. As a film formation. The hole transport layer 65 is formed by vacuum deposition. Actually, since the hole transport layer 65 is formed in a size larger than the display region 61, a high-definition mask is not necessary.

次に、正孔輸送層65までが形成された基板63を第2の成膜装置に搬入し、基板保持ユニットにて保持する。基板とマスクとのアライメントを行い、基板をマスクの上に載置し、基板63の赤色を発する素子を配置する部分に、赤色を発する発光層66Rを成膜する。本例によれば、マスクと基板とを良好に重ね合わせることができ、高精度な成膜を行うことができる。   Next, the substrate 63 on which the hole transport layer 65 is formed is carried into the second film forming apparatus and held by the substrate holding unit. The substrate and the mask are aligned, the substrate is placed on the mask, and the light emitting layer 66R that emits red is formed on the portion of the substrate 63 where the element that emits red is disposed. According to this example, the mask and the substrate can be satisfactorily overlapped, and highly accurate film formation can be performed.

発光層66Rの成膜と同様に、第3の成膜装置により緑色を発する発光層66Gを成膜し、さらに第4の成膜装置により青色を発する発光層66Bを成膜する。発光層66R、66G、66Bの成膜が完了した後、第5の成膜装置により表示領域61の全体に電子輸送層67を成膜する。電子輸送層65は、3色の発光層66R、66G、66Bに共通の層として形成される。   Similarly to the formation of the light emitting layer 66R, the light emitting layer 66G that emits green is formed by the third film forming apparatus, and the light emitting layer 66B that emits blue is formed by the fourth film forming apparatus. After the formation of the light emitting layers 66R, 66G, and 66B is completed, the electron transport layer 67 is formed on the entire display region 61 by the fifth film formation apparatus. The electron transport layer 65 is formed as a layer common to the three-color light emitting layers 66R, 66G, and 66B.

電子輸送層65までが形成された基板をスパッタリング装置に移動し、第2電極68を成膜し、その後プラズマCVD装置に移動して保護層70を成膜して、有機EL表示装置60が完成する。   The substrate on which the electron transport layer 65 is formed is moved to the sputtering apparatus, the second electrode 68 is formed, and then the protective layer 70 is formed by moving to the plasma CVD apparatus, and the organic EL display device 60 is completed. To do.

絶縁層69がパターニングされた基板63を成膜装置に搬入してから保護層70の成膜が完了するまでは、水分や酸素を含む雰囲気にさらしてしまうと、有機EL材料からなる発光層が水分や酸素によって劣化してしまうおそれがある。従って、本例において、成膜装置間の基板の搬入搬出は、真空雰囲気または不活性ガス雰囲気の下で行われる。   From when the substrate 63 with the insulating layer 69 patterned is carried into the film formation apparatus until the film formation of the protective layer 70 is completed, if the light emitting layer made of an organic EL material is exposed to an atmosphere containing moisture or oxygen, There is a risk of deterioration due to moisture and oxygen. Therefore, in this example, the carrying-in / out of the substrate between the film forming apparatuses is performed in a vacuum atmosphere or an inert gas atmosphere.

このようにして得られた有機EL表示装置は、発光素子ごとに発光層が精度よく形成される。従って、上記製造方法を用いれば、発光層の位置ずれに起因する有機EL表示装置の不良の発生を抑制することができる。   In the organic EL display device thus obtained, a light emitting layer is accurately formed for each light emitting element. Therefore, if the manufacturing method is used, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects in the organic EL display device due to the displacement of the light emitting layer.

図5(a)〜(e)は、本発明の実施例1にかかる基板の挟持および載置処理の流れを示す図である。各図は、挟持された基板10を図3に示す基板保持ユニットにて載置体に載置する様子を順次示しており、基板保持ユニットおよび基板10を図3のXZ平面で切断した断面図である。なお必要に応じて、挟持機構の4辺のうち一方の長辺側(図5の左側)に配置された押圧具に符号302a、それと対向する長辺側(図5の右側)に配置された押圧具に符号302bを付して区別する。
<Example 1>
FIGS. 5A to 5E are diagrams showing the flow of the substrate clamping and placing processes according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Each drawing sequentially shows a state in which the sandwiched substrate 10 is placed on the placement body by the substrate holding unit shown in FIG. 3, and the sectional view of the substrate holding unit and the substrate 10 taken along the XZ plane of FIG. It is. If necessary, the pressing tool disposed on one long side (left side in FIG. 5) of the four sides of the clamping mechanism is disposed on the long side (right side in FIG. 5) opposite to the reference numeral 302a. The pressing tool is distinguished by being denoted by reference numeral 302b.

図5(a)は、搬送ロボット119により基板10が支持具300と押圧具302の間
に導入され、基板10の周縁部10aが支持具300によって支持された状態である。図5(a)の状態では基板10が固定されていないため、基板10の中央が撓んでいる。
FIG. 5A shows a state in which the substrate 10 is introduced between the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302 by the transfer robot 119 and the peripheral edge 10 a of the substrate 10 is supported by the support tool 300. Since the substrate 10 is not fixed in the state of FIG. 5A, the center of the substrate 10 is bent.

図5(b)では、制御部270の制御に応じてクランプZアクチュエータ251がクランプ部材303を下降させることにより、押圧具302aおよび302bが下降して、支持具300との間で基板10を挟持する。ここで、制御部270は、一辺内(一方の長辺側)の押圧具302aと支持具300の間には通常通りの挟力を発生させるが(図中、「通常」と記した下向き矢印)、対向する他方の長辺側の押圧具302bと支持具300の間には、通常より弱い挟力を発生させるか、挟力が発生しないようにする(図中、「弱
or Free」と記した下向き矢印)。このような制御は例えば、クランプZアクチュ
エータ251による押圧力を左右で変更することで実施できる。このように挟力が可変であることによって、本発明の制御が可能である。かかる挟力を可変する制御を可能にする制御部や各アクチュエータを、挟力可変手段と称しても良い。
In FIG. 5B, the clamp Z actuator 251 lowers the clamp member 303 in accordance with the control of the control unit 270, so that the pressing tools 302a and 302b are lowered, and the substrate 10 is sandwiched between the support tool 300. To do. Here, the control unit 270 generates a normal pinching force between the pressing tool 302a within one side (one long side) and the support tool 300 (the downward arrow indicated as “normal” in the drawing). ), Or a pinching force that is weaker than usual is generated between the pressing tool 302b on the other long side facing the support tool 300, or no pinching force is generated ("weak" in the figure).
or Free Arrow "). Such control can be carried out, for example, by changing the pressing force by the clamp Z actuator 251 on the left and right. Thus, the control of the present invention is possible because the pinching force is variable. A control unit or each actuator that enables control to vary the clamping force may be referred to as clamping force varying means.

押圧具302aと支持具300の間の挟力は、基板10が容易にズレないような力が好ましい。一方、押圧具302bと支持具300の間の挟力は基板10にある程度の力が働いたときに、押圧具302bと支持具300の間にある基板10がズレて挟持位置が変わる程度の力が好ましい。なお、挟持機構が基板10を保持する挟力には、押圧具302a,302bにかける力の他に、基板10と挟持機構の間の摩擦力も寄与しているので、押圧具302bにかける力を制御する際には、摩擦力も加味することが好ましい。   The clamping force between the pressing tool 302a and the support tool 300 is preferably a force that does not easily shift the substrate 10. On the other hand, the clamping force between the pressing tool 302b and the support tool 300 is such that when a certain amount of force is applied to the substrate 10, the substrate 10 between the pressing tool 302b and the support tool 300 is displaced to change the clamping position. Is preferred. In addition, since the friction force between the board | substrate 10 and the clamping mechanism contributes to the clamping force which a clamping mechanism hold | maintains the board | substrate 10 besides the force applied to the pressing tools 302a and 302b, the force applied to the pressing tool 302b is applied. When controlling, it is preferable to also consider a frictional force.

図5(c)は、図5(b)のように片側の挟力が弱いかゼロの状態で、基板Zアクチュエータ250が基板10を下降させ、基板10が載置体であるマスク220に接触した状態を示す。   FIG. 5C shows a state in which the clamping force on one side is weak or zero as shown in FIG. 5B, the substrate Z actuator 250 lowers the substrate 10, and the substrate 10 contacts the mask 220 which is a mounting body. Shows the state.

図5(d)は、図5(c)の状態から、基板Zアクチュエータ250がさらに基板10を下降させ、基板10とマスク220の接触領域が増大した状態を示す。このとき、マスク220からの応力と基板中央に生じていた撓みによって基板10の形状が変化し、歪みが生じていることが分かる。従来の挟持方法および載置方法では、この形状変化が、基板10のアライメントに時間を要する原因となっていた。
しかし本発明では、押圧具302bと支持具300の間の挟力が、押圧具302aと支持具300の間の挟力よりも弱いか、ゼロになっている。そのため図5(d)に示すように、マスク220からの応力によって、押圧具302bと支持具300の間の基板10に、矢印501で示す方向のズレ力が発生する。その結果、図5(e)に示すように基板10の撓みや歪みが解消し、基板10とマスク220の接触状態が改善される。
FIG. 5D shows a state in which the substrate Z actuator 250 further lowers the substrate 10 from the state of FIG. 5C and the contact area between the substrate 10 and the mask 220 is increased. At this time, it can be seen that the shape of the substrate 10 is changed due to the stress from the mask 220 and the bending that has occurred in the center of the substrate, causing distortion. In the conventional clamping method and mounting method, this shape change has caused time for alignment of the substrate 10.
However, in the present invention, the clamping force between the pressing tool 302b and the support tool 300 is weaker or zero than the clamping force between the pressing tool 302a and the support tool 300. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5D, a stress in the direction indicated by the arrow 501 is generated on the substrate 10 between the pressing tool 302 b and the support tool 300 due to the stress from the mask 220. As a result, the bending and distortion of the substrate 10 are eliminated as shown in FIG. 5E, and the contact state between the substrate 10 and the mask 220 is improved.

図6(a)は、挟持機構によって基板10が通常通りに挟持された様子を示し、図3の基板保持ユニットをZ軸の上方向から見た平面図である。図3の説明で述べたように、短辺側においては、基板の周縁部10aが支持具300に載っているだけで、挟持はされていない。また、長辺側においては、基板の周縁部10aが、支持具300と押圧具302の間に挟持されている。   FIG. 6A shows a state in which the substrate 10 is normally held by the holding mechanism, and is a plan view of the substrate holding unit of FIG. As described in the explanation of FIG. 3, on the short side, the peripheral edge portion 10 a of the substrate is merely placed on the support 300 and is not clamped. On the long side, the peripheral edge portion 10 a of the substrate is sandwiched between the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302.

図6(b)は、図5(b)によって説明した挟持の様子を示す。図中、左側の長辺においては、基板の周縁部10aが、通常の挟力で支持具300と押圧具302aの間に挟持されている。一方、図中右側の長編においては、基板の周縁部10aが、左辺よりも弱い挟力で挟持されているか、挟持されていない。これにより、基板10がマスク220に接触した後、矢印501で示す方向にズレ力が発生する。   FIG. 6B shows a state of clamping described with reference to FIG. In the left long side in the figure, the peripheral edge portion 10a of the substrate is held between the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302a by a normal holding force. On the other hand, in the long feature on the right side in the figure, the peripheral edge portion 10a of the substrate is clamped with a clamping force weaker than that of the left side or is not clamped. Thereby, after the substrate 10 comes into contact with the mask 220, a displacement force is generated in the direction indicated by the arrow 501.

本実施例の挟持機構(挟持装置)を用いた挟持方法、かかる挟持機構を含む基板載置装置を用いた基板載置方法によれば、基板10を載置体であるマスク220に載置したとき
の歪みが、挟力の弱い側(または挟力がゼロである側)に基板10がズレることによって低減または解消される。言い換えると、載置時に基板10がズレる方向が一定になり、ズレ方(ズレ量や方向)に再現性が出る。これにより、マスク220と基板10とのアライメントを良好に実施可能となるため、アライメント時間短縮及びアライメント精度向上といった効果が得られる。なお、挟持装置とアライメントに用いるカメラ、相対位置を調整する位置調整手段(アクチュエータなど)を合わせて、アライメント機構と考えることもできる。
なお、本実施例の挟持力制御は、第1アライメントの前、第1アライメントと第2アライメントの間、第2アライメントの後、いずれの場面においても適用できる。
According to the clamping method using the clamping mechanism (clamping device) of the present embodiment and the substrate mounting method using the substrate mounting device including the clamping mechanism, the substrate 10 is placed on the mask 220 which is a placement body. The distortion at the time is reduced or eliminated by shifting the substrate 10 to the side where the pinching force is weak (or the side where the pinching force is zero). In other words, the direction in which the substrate 10 is displaced at the time of mounting becomes constant, and reproducibility is exhibited in the direction of displacement (the amount and direction of displacement). As a result, alignment between the mask 220 and the substrate 10 can be carried out satisfactorily, and the effects of shortening the alignment time and improving the alignment accuracy can be obtained. The holding device, the camera used for alignment, and the position adjusting means (such as an actuator) for adjusting the relative position can be combined to be considered as an alignment mechanism.
Note that the clamping force control of this embodiment can be applied to any scene before the first alignment, between the first alignment and the second alignment, and after the second alignment.

<実施例2>
実施例1で説明したような、基板10の長辺のうち一方に通常の挟力をかけ、他方に通常より弱い挟力をかける(または挟力をゼロにする)ような制御であれば、図3に示した基板保持ユニットが備える挟持機構によって実現できる。本実施例では、より精密な挟力制御を行って基板10の歪みを低減する構成について説明する。
<Example 2>
If the control is such that a normal clamping force is applied to one of the long sides of the substrate 10 and a weaker clamping force than the normal is applied to the other (or the clamping force is zero) as described in the first embodiment, This can be realized by a clamping mechanism provided in the substrate holding unit shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a configuration for reducing distortion of the substrate 10 by performing more precise pinching force control will be described.

図7(a)は、本実施例にかかる基板保持ユニットの主要部分を示した模式図である。基板保持ユニットには、それぞれが互いに独立した複数の挟持機構を備えている。図7(a)では基板10の両長辺側に複数の挟持機構が配置され、両短辺側の構成は省略されている。しかし短辺側にも挟持機構を設けても良いし、図3と同様に、短辺側には支持具300のみを設けても構わない。   FIG. 7A is a schematic diagram showing the main part of the substrate holding unit according to the present embodiment. The substrate holding unit includes a plurality of clamping mechanisms that are independent of each other. In FIG. 7A, a plurality of clamping mechanisms are arranged on both long sides of the substrate 10, and the configuration on both short sides is omitted. However, a clamping mechanism may be provided on the short side, or only the support 300 may be provided on the short side as in FIG.

図7(b)は、本実施例にかかる挟持機構を1つ取り出したものである。それぞれの挟持機構は支持体305によって支持された、押圧具302および支持具300を備えている。例えば、制御部270の制御に従って、支持体305に組み込まれた個別Zアクチュエータ(不図示)が押圧具302をZ方向に昇降させることによって、押圧具302と支持具300の間の挟力が変化する。   FIG. 7B shows one clamping mechanism according to this embodiment. Each clamping mechanism includes a pressing tool 302 and a supporting tool 300 supported by a support body 305. For example, the clamping force between the pressing tool 302 and the support tool 300 is changed by an individual Z actuator (not shown) incorporated in the support body 305 moving the pressing tool 302 up and down in the Z direction according to the control of the control unit 270. To do.

例えば、押圧具302と支持具400の状態を、基板10のズレが発生しないような通常の挟力がかかっている状態、ある程度の力が加わると基板10がズレるような弱い挟力がかかっている状態、挟力がかかっていない(挟力がゼロである)状態、の間で切り替えることが可能である。すなわち、図7(c)に示すように、押圧具302と支持具300の間の挟力を弱める、あるいはゼロにすることで、基板10を載置した時に、矢印501で示す方向にズレ力が発生する。   For example, the pressing tool 302 and the support tool 400 are in a state where a normal clamping force is applied so that the substrate 10 is not displaced, or a weak clamping force is applied such that the substrate 10 is displaced when a certain amount of force is applied. And a state where no pinching force is applied (the pinching force is zero). That is, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the substrate 10 is placed by weakening or reducing the pinching force between the pressing tool 302 and the support tool 300 to the direction indicated by the arrow 501. Will occur.

挟持機構の個別制御の一例を述べる。図7(a)には各長辺に8個の挟持機構が示されているが、このうち一辺において、中央の4つを通常の挟持力とし、端の4つを弱い挟持力とする。また、それに対向する辺においては、挟持力を弱くするか、ゼロにする。これにより、載置により発生した歪みが、挟持力の弱い(またはゼロの)側の長辺方向だけではなく、短辺方向にも逃げやすくなる。   An example of individual control of the clamping mechanism will be described. FIG. 7 (a) shows eight clamping mechanisms on each long side. In one of these, the central four are normal clamping forces and the four ends are weak clamping forces. In addition, on the side opposite to it, the clamping force is weakened or made zero. As a result, the distortion generated by the placement can easily escape not only in the long side direction on the side where the clamping force is weak (or zero) but also in the short side direction.

以上のように、本実施例の構成によれば、複数設けた挟持機構ごと挟力を制御することにより、基板10が載置体であるマスク220に載置されたときのズレの量や方向を精密に制御できるようになる。
なお、本実施例の挟持機構を用いた挟持力制御は、第1アライメントの前、第1アライメントと第2アライメントの間、第2アライメントの後、いずれの場面においても適用できる。
As described above, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the amount and direction of displacement when the substrate 10 is placed on the mask 220 which is a placement body by controlling the clamping force for each of the plurality of clamping mechanisms provided. Can be controlled precisely.
Note that the clamping force control using the clamping mechanism of the present embodiment can be applied to any scene before the first alignment, between the first alignment and the second alignment, and after the second alignment.

<Example 3>
FIGS. 8A to 8E are diagrams illustrating the flow of the substrate clamping and placing processes according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Each drawing sequentially shows a state in which the sandwiched substrate 10 is placed on the placement body by the substrate holding unit shown in FIG. 3, and the sectional view of the substrate holding unit and the substrate 10 taken along the XZ plane of FIG. It is. Members common to those in FIG.

図8(a)は、搬送ロボット119のロボットハンドによって、基板10が支持具300と押圧具302の間に導入された状態である。また、基板10の短辺側の周縁部は、短辺側用の支持具300にて支持されている。   FIG. 8A shows a state in which the substrate 10 is introduced between the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302 by the robot hand of the transfer robot 119. Further, the peripheral edge portion on the short side of the substrate 10 is supported by a support 300 for the short side.

図8(b)では、ロボットハンドが後退することにより基板10の長辺側の周縁部が支持具300にて支持されるとともに、制御部270の制御に応じてクランプZアクチュエータ251がクランプ部材303を下降させることにより、押圧具302aおよび302bが下降して、支持具300との間で基板10を挟持する。このとき、支持具300によって支持されていない領域においては、基板10に撓みが発生している。図8(b)において、図5(b)と同様に、押圧具302aの側に強い挟力が発生し、押圧具302bの側に弱い挟力が発生する(または挟力が発生しない)ような制御を行う。押圧具302aの側の挟力と押圧具302bの側の挟力の好適な関係は、図5(b)での説明と同様である。すなわち押圧具302bの側では、基板10にかかる力による、押圧具302bと支持具300の間にある基板10が移動可能な程度の力が好ましい。   In FIG. 8B, when the robot hand moves backward, the peripheral edge of the long side of the substrate 10 is supported by the support 300, and the clamp Z actuator 251 is clamped by the clamp member 303 according to the control of the control unit 270. Is lowered, and the pressing tools 302 a and 302 b are lowered to sandwich the substrate 10 with the support tool 300. At this time, in the region not supported by the support tool 300, the substrate 10 is bent. 8B, as in FIG. 5B, a strong pinching force is generated on the pressing tool 302a side, and a weak pinching force is generated on the pressing tool 302b side (or no pinching force is generated). Control. The preferable relationship between the pressing force on the pressing tool 302a side and the pressing force on the pressing tool 302b side is the same as that described with reference to FIG. That is, on the side of the pressing tool 302 b, a force that can move the substrate 10 between the pressing tool 302 b and the support tool 300 by the force applied to the substrate 10 is preferable.

なお、本実施例の基板保持ユニットは、基板10の中央部を支持する中央支持具306を備えている。中央支持具306が制御部270の制御に従ってZ方向上下に移動することで、基板10の撓みをある程度低減できる。図8(c)は、片側の長辺の挟力が弱いかゼロの状態で中央支持具306が上昇し、矢印501の方向にズレ力が発生する。ここで、基板10にかかっている挟力は、基板10が移動可能な程度後からであるため、基板10が右側にズレる。これにより、基板10の撓みの一部が解消する。   Note that the substrate holding unit of this embodiment includes a central support 306 that supports the central portion of the substrate 10. The central support 306 moves up and down in the Z direction under the control of the control unit 270, so that the bending of the substrate 10 can be reduced to some extent. In FIG. 8C, the center support 306 is raised while the pinching force on one long side is weak or zero, and a displacement force is generated in the direction of the arrow 501. Here, since the clamping force applied to the substrate 10 is after the substrate 10 can move, the substrate 10 is shifted to the right side. Thereby, a part of bending of the board | substrate 10 is eliminated.

図8(d)において、基板Zアクチュエータ250が基板10を下降させ、基板10がマスク220に載置される。このとき、マスク220からの応力によって、押圧具302bと支持具300の間の基板10に、矢印501で示す方向のズレ力が再び発生する。その結果、図8(e)に示すように基板10の撓みや歪みが解消し、基板10とマスク220の接触状態が改善される。   In FIG. 8D, the substrate Z actuator 250 lowers the substrate 10 and the substrate 10 is placed on the mask 220. At this time, due to the stress from the mask 220, a displacement force in the direction indicated by the arrow 501 is generated again on the substrate 10 between the pressing tool 302b and the support tool 300. As a result, the bending and distortion of the substrate 10 are eliminated as shown in FIG. 8E, and the contact state between the substrate 10 and the mask 220 is improved.

なお、図8(e)において、カメラ260,261によるアライメントマークの撮像結果に基づいて第2アライメントを行い、さらに基板10とマスク220の相対位置を調整することも好ましい。その際、押圧具302bの側の挟力を通常の値にしても良い。これにより、基板10が安定した状態でアライメントを実施できる。   In FIG. 8E, it is also preferable to perform the second alignment based on the imaging result of the alignment marks by the cameras 260 and 261 and further adjust the relative position between the substrate 10 and the mask 220. At that time, the clamping force on the pressing tool 302b side may be set to a normal value. Thereby, alignment can be performed in a state where the substrate 10 is stable.

以上述べたように、本実施例の挟持機構(挟持装置)を用いた挟持方法、かかる挟持機構を含む基板載置装置を用いた基板載置方法によれば、中央支持具306の移動による基板10のズレと、マスク220への載置による基板10のズレという複数の段階を経て基板10の歪みが良好に低減される。その結果、アライメント時間短縮及びアライメント精度向上といった効果が得られる。
なお、本実施例の挟持力制御は、第1アライメントの前、第1アライメントと第2アライメントの間、第2アライメントの後、いずれの場面においても適用できる。
As described above, according to the clamping method using the clamping mechanism (clamping device) of the present embodiment and the substrate mounting method using the substrate mounting apparatus including the clamping mechanism, the substrate by the movement of the central support 306 is used. The distortion of the substrate 10 can be satisfactorily reduced through a plurality of stages of displacement of 10 and displacement of the substrate 10 due to placement on the mask 220. As a result, the effects of shortening the alignment time and improving the alignment accuracy can be obtained.
Note that the clamping force control of this embodiment can be applied to any scene before the first alignment, between the first alignment and the second alignment, and after the second alignment.

<Example 4>
FIGS. 9A to 9F are diagrams illustrating the flow of the substrate clamping and placing processes according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Each drawing sequentially shows a state in which the sandwiched substrate 10 is placed on the placement body by the substrate holding unit shown in FIG. 3, and the sectional view of the substrate holding unit and the substrate 10 taken along the XZ plane of FIG. It is. Members common to FIGS. 5 and 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

図9(a)は、図8(a)と同様に、ロボットハンドによって基板10が支持具300と押圧具302の間に導入された状態を示す。   FIG. 9A shows a state in which the substrate 10 is introduced between the support tool 300 and the pressing tool 302 by the robot hand, as in FIG. 8A.

図9(b)では、ロボットハンドが後退することにより基板10の長辺側の周縁部が支持具300にて支持される。   In FIG. 9B, the peripheral edge on the long side of the substrate 10 is supported by the support tool 300 by the robot hand moving backward.

図9(c)では、制御部270の制御に応じてクランプZアクチュエータ251がクランプ部材303を下降させることにより、押圧具302aおよび302bが下降して、支持具300との間で基板10を挟持する。図9(c)においても、押圧具302aの側に強い挟力が発生し、押圧具302bの側に弱い挟力が発生する(または挟力が発生しない)ような制御を行う。さらに、図9(c)においては、中央支持具306がZ方向に上昇して基板10と接触することにより矢印501の方向にズレ力が発生して、基板10が紙面上右側にズレている。これにより、基板10の撓みの一部が解消している。   In FIG. 9C, the clamp Z actuator 251 lowers the clamp member 303 according to the control of the control unit 270, so that the pressing tools 302 a and 302 b are lowered and the substrate 10 is sandwiched between the support tool 300. To do. Also in FIG. 9C, control is performed such that a strong pinching force is generated on the pressing tool 302a side and a weak pinching force is generated on the pressing tool 302b side (or no pinching force is generated). Further, in FIG. 9C, when the central support 306 is raised in the Z direction and comes into contact with the substrate 10, a displacement force is generated in the direction of the arrow 501 so that the substrate 10 is displaced to the right on the paper surface. . Thereby, a part of bending of the board | substrate 10 is eliminated.

図9(d)は、本実施例に特有の操作であり、基板10をマスク220に載置する前に、カメラ260によるアライメントマークの撮像結果に基づいて基板10とマスク220との相対位置を調整する第1アライメントを行っている。このように、基板10がマスク220に接触する前に第1アライメントを行うことで、その後、マスク220への接触後に行われる第2アライメントの精度が向上する。   FIG. 9D shows an operation unique to the present embodiment. Before placing the substrate 10 on the mask 220, the relative position between the substrate 10 and the mask 220 is determined based on the result of imaging the alignment mark by the camera 260. The first alignment to be adjusted is performed. Thus, by performing the first alignment before the substrate 10 contacts the mask 220, the accuracy of the second alignment performed after the contact with the mask 220 is improved thereafter.

図9(e)において、基板Zアクチュエータ250の動作によって基板10がマスク220に載置される。このとき、マスク220からの応力によって、押圧具302bと支持具300の間の基板10に、矢印501で示す方向のズレ力が再び発生する。その結果、図9(f)に示すように基板10の撓みや歪みが解消し、基板10とマスク220の接触状態が改善される。なお、図9(f)において、カメラ261によるアライメントマークの撮像結果に基づいて第2アライメントを行い、さらに基板10とマスク220の相対位置を調整することも好ましい。その際、押圧具302bの側の挟力を通常の値にしても良い。これにより、基板10の挟持位置が固定可能となり、かつ、対向する両辺の挟力が同じになるため、安定的にアライメントを実施できる。   In FIG. 9E, the substrate 10 is placed on the mask 220 by the operation of the substrate Z actuator 250. At this time, due to the stress from the mask 220, a displacement force in the direction indicated by the arrow 501 is generated again on the substrate 10 between the pressing tool 302b and the support tool 300. As a result, the bending and distortion of the substrate 10 are eliminated as shown in FIG. 9F, and the contact state between the substrate 10 and the mask 220 is improved. In FIG. 9F, it is also preferable to perform the second alignment based on the imaging result of the alignment mark by the camera 261 and further adjust the relative position between the substrate 10 and the mask 220. At that time, the clamping force on the pressing tool 302b side may be set to a normal value. As a result, the holding position of the substrate 10 can be fixed, and the holding forces on the opposite sides are the same, so that the alignment can be stably performed.

以上述べたように、本実施例の挟持機構(挟持装置)を用いた挟持方法、かかる挟持機構を含む基板載置装置を用いた基板載置方法によれば、中央支持具306の移動による基板10のズレと、第1アライメントと、マスク220への載置による基板10のズレという複数の段階を経て基板10の位置ズレや歪みが良好に低減される。その結果、アライメント時間短縮及びアライメント精度向上といった効果が得られる。
なお、本実施例の挟持力制御は、第1アライメントの前、第1アライメントと第2アライメントの間、第2アライメントの後、いずれの場面においても適用できる。
As described above, according to the clamping method using the clamping mechanism (clamping device) of the present embodiment and the substrate mounting method using the substrate mounting apparatus including the clamping mechanism, the substrate by the movement of the central support 306 is used. The positional deviation and distortion of the substrate 10 can be satisfactorily reduced through a plurality of stages of deviation of 10, first alignment, and deviation of the substrate 10 due to placement on the mask 220. As a result, the effects of shortening the alignment time and improving the alignment accuracy can be obtained.
Note that the clamping force control of this embodiment can be applied to any scene before the first alignment, between the first alignment and the second alignment, and after the second alignment.
