Abstract
The substrate chucking apparatus according to the present invention includes a gripping portion, a first chucking unit and a second chucking unit. The gripping portion grips an edge of the substrate such that one surface of the substrate having the other surface opposite to one surface to be processed is exposed downward. The first chucking unit is disposed on the other surface of the substrate to chuck the peripheral region of the other surface of the substrate. The second chucking unit chucks the central region adjacent to the peripheral region of the other surface of the substrate and drives up and down to prevent the substrate from sagging. This simplifies the apparatus, shortens the processing time, and increases the uniformity of the processing according to the flatness of the substrate, thereby improving productivity.
Description
The present invention relates to a substrate chucking apparatus, and more particularly, to a substrate chucking apparatus for top chucking a substrate in an OLED deposition process.
In general, a semiconductor device is manufactured by repeatedly performing processes such as deposition and etching on a substrate. The above process is performed while the substrate is chucked in a vacuum process chamber. As an example of such a substrate chucking apparatus, a vacuum chuck, an electrostatic chuck, and the like are used.
The chucking method includes a lower chucking method in which a chuck is disposed below and a substrate is disposed on the chuck, and an upper chucking method in which a chuck is positioned above and a substrate is disposed below the chuck. In the upper chucking method, the surface to be processed of the substrate faces downward, and a process such as deposition is performed from a source disposed below. In particular, in the OLED deposition process, the deposition process is performed by the upper chucking method.
However, in the upper chucking method, since the chuck is positioned above the substrate and does not support the lower portion of the substrate, the substrate may be struck downward by gravity. In addition, when chucking the substrate, there is a problem in that it is difficult for the chuck to chuck the substrate stably.
Therefore, in the conventional substrate chucking apparatus using the upper chucking method, first, the substrate is chucked by the lower chucking method, and then the substrate is inverted by a separate substrate reversing means to change the upper chucking state, and then the process is performed. To this end, the conventional substrate chucking apparatus is provided with a substrate reversing unit for reversing the substrate.
However, the conventional substrate chucking apparatus having the substrate inversion unit has a problem that the apparatus is enlarged as a whole by mounting the substrate inversion unit, requires a large space for the inversion operation of the substrate, and the process time is long. In addition, in the upper chucking state in which the substrate is inverted, the substrate sag may regenerate with time. That is, it is difficult to maintain the flatness of the substrate after chucking.
An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate chucking device capable of chucking a substrate without inversion of the substrate in the upper chucking method and maintaining flatness of the substrate even after the upper chucking.
The substrate chucking apparatus according to the embodiment for realizing the object of the present invention includes a gripping portion, a first chucking unit and a second chucking unit. The gripping portion grips an edge of the substrate such that one surface of the substrate having the other surface opposite to one surface to be processed is exposed downward. The first chucking unit is disposed on the other surface of the substrate to chuck the peripheral region of the other surface of the substrate. The second chucking unit chucks the central region adjacent to the peripheral region of the other surface of the substrate and drives up and down to prevent the substrate from sagging.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a driving unit for transmitting power for the vertical drive of the second chucking unit, and after the second chucking unit chucking the central region of the substrate, the second chuck of the second chucking unit The controller may further include a controller configured to control the driving unit so that the king surface is parallel to the first chucking surface of the first chucking unit.
According to the substrate chucking apparatus, the substrate can be chucked without the inversion of the substrate in the upper chucking method by providing a chucking unit for dividing the substrate into a plurality of regions, chucking the divided regions, and driving up and down to prevent the substrate from sagging. The flatness of the substrate can be maintained even after the upper chucking. This simplifies the apparatus, shortens the processing time, and increases the uniformity of the processing according to the flatness of the substrate, thereby improving productivity.
