Its In the following, a 1C manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a batch CVD apparatus having the above configuration. In the following description, the operation of each unit constituting the batch CVD apparatus is performed by the controller 77. As shown in Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, when the in-project conveying device is carried into the loading cassette 14 via the front opening 14C or the ceiling opening 14B, the box 2 is placed on the holding table 18. At this time, the holding table The support moving pin 19 of 18 is inserted into the positioning hole 5 of the lower side of the case 2, whereby the case 2 is formed in a state of being positioned at the holding stage 18. Next, as shown in Fig. 5(a), in the loading magazine 14, the box 2 is moved in the direction of the unpacker 23, and the door 4 is held in the closer 26 of the unpacker 23. Once the shutter 26 holds the door 4', the door 4 is detached (disassembled) from the wafer entry and exit 3 by the retraction of the moving table 25. Then, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), the closer 26 is detached from the position of the wafer inlet and outlet 3 by the lowering of the moving table 25 in the preload chamber 20. Once the wafer entry and exit 3 is opened, the fixture 29 of the device 27 is inserted into the wafer inlet and outlet 3 by the linear actuator 28 as shown in Fig. 5(b). The detecting element 30 of the mapping device 27 is the wafer 1 in the mapping box 2. Once the predetermined survey is completed, the clamp 29 of the surveying device 27 is returned from the wafer access 3 to the original standby position by the linear actuator 28. Once the clamp 29 is returned to the standby position, the closer 26 is moved to the position of the wafer entrance 3 by the rise of the moving table 25. Then, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the closer 26 mounts the door 4 to the wafer inlet/outlet 3 (mounted) by the advancement of the moving table 25. When the mapping information read by the mapping device 27 is different from the mapping information previously provided in the box (the box to be read) 2, the different containers 2 are found to be loaded from the magazine 14 by engineering. The internal transfer device, for example, the AGV 9 shown in Fig. 1, is immediately transferred to the wafer splicing project or the previous project. Thereby, the step can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where the tank 2 is carried into the main casing 11, particularly the mounting table 43 or the rotary frame 3, and then returned to the loading/unloading portion. Further, it is possible to suppress the increase in the wafer mounting time to the boat 47 and the increase in the wafer processing start standby time. When the mapping information read by the aforementioned mapping device 27 coincides with the mapping information previously provided by the box 2, as shown in FIG. 6, the box 2 supported by the holding table 18 utilizes the box elevator 15 The degree of increase from the loading raft 14 to the phase loading and unloading port 12. Specifically, the holding table 18 is raised above the sealing frame 21 by -18 - 1379373 ', and the height of the box 2 picked up from the lower side by the tank conveying mechanism 35b can be raised to the tank. When the height of the outlet 12 is reached, the tank loading/unloading port 12 is opened by the front shutter 13" Next, the tank transporting mechanism 35b is submerged into the tank loading/unloading port 12, as shown in Fig. 6 'the box 2 supported by the holding table 18 It is picked up from the lower side by the tank conveyance mechanism 35b of the tank conveyance device 35.

Further, it may be carried in from the outside of the main casing 1 1 across the unpacker 23 or the sealed casing 21. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the carried in the box 2 is automatically conveyed to the frame 33 designated by the rotary case 31 by the box conveying device 35, and is transferred to the support pin of the frame plate 33 at this time. 34 will be inserted into the positioning hole 5' of the lower side of the case 2, whereby the case 2 will be positioned and held in the state of the shelf 3, and the case 2 will be temporarily stored in the shelf 33. Then, the tank 2 is transported from the shelf 33 to the square unpacker 42 by the tank transport device 35, and transferred to the mounting table 43. At this time, the wafer loading/unloading port 41 of the unpacker 42 is closed by the offline structure 44, and the cleaning chamber is filled with the clean air. -19- 1379373 The preliminary chamber 45 is filled with nitrogen as clean air. In this state, the oxygen concentration of the preliminary chamber 45 is, for example, 20 ppm or less, which is much lower than the oxygen concentration inside the main casing 11 (atmospheric environment). Further, the case 2' carried into the main casing 11 from the tank loading/unloading port 12 by the conveying mechanism 35b may be directly conveyed to the unpacker 42 provided in the wafer loading/unloading port 41. The case 2 placed on the mounting table 43 is an opening edge portion of the wafer loading/unloading port 41 where the opening side end surface is pressed to the front wall 40a. Then, the door 4 is detached by the detaching mechanism 44, and the box 2 is opened to the wafer inlet and outlet 3. At this time, since it has been mapped in the loading cassette 14, the mapping of the group 1 of the crystal circle in the box 2 can be omitted. Once the cassette 2 is opened by the unpacker 42, the wafer transfer unit 46a picks up the wafer 1 from the cassette 2 via the wafer inlet/outlet 3 using the dice 46c. Once the wafer 1 is picked up by the die 46c, the wafer transfer device 46a transports the wafer 1 to the groove alignment device (not shown). The groove alignment device is positioned to align the wafer 1. After the alignment, the wafer transfer device 46 picks up the wafer 1 from the groove alignment device by the die 46c and transports it to the boat 47. The wafer transfer device 46 charges the transferred wafer 1 to the carrying boat 47. The wafer transfer device 46a after the wafer 1 is transferred to the carrying boat 47 is returned to the tank 2, and the next wafer 1 is attached to the carrying boat 47. In the operation of the unpacker 42 of the one (upper or lower stage) by the wafer transfer mechanism 46 to mount the wafer 1 to the carrying boat 47, the opener 42 of the other (lower or upper stage) is borrowed. The other transport box 2 is transported from the rotary -20- 1379373 type magazine rack 31 by the tank transport device 35. In the other unpacker 42 of the other side, the opening operation of the box 2 of the unpacker 42 is simultaneously performed. Once the pre-specified number of wafers 1 are mounted on the carrying boat 47, the lower end portion of the processing furnace 51 that is closed by the furnace shutter (not shown) will be driven by the furnace. The mouth is closed to open. Next, the carrier boat 47 holding the wafer group 1 is lifted by the boat lifter 48, and is carried in the processing furnace 51 (loading the boat).

在此,說明有關利用處理爐51在晶圓1上藉由CVD 法來形成薄膜的方法。 另外,在以下的説明中,構成處理爐51的各部之動 作是藉由控制器77來控制。 一旦複數片的晶圓1被裝塡(wafer charge)於載舟 47,則如圖4所示,保持複數片的晶圓1之載舟47會藉 由載舟升降機48來舉起,搬入至處理室57(載舟載入) 在此狀態下,加封蓋50是形成隔著〇型環50a來密 封岐管5 9的下端之狀態。 處理室57内是藉由排氣裝置68來排氣,而使能夠形 成所望的壓力(真空度)。此時,處理室57内的壓力是 以壓力感側器6 6來測定,根據該被測定的壓力,回饋控 制壓力調整裝置67。 又,處理室57内是藉由加熱器52來加熱,而使能夠 形成所望的温度。此時,以處理室5 7内能夠形成所望的 -21 - 1379373 温度分布之方式,根據温度感側器74所檢測出的温度資 訊,回饋控制往加熱器52的通電狀況。 接著’藉由旋轉機構70來旋轉載舟47,藉此旋轉晶 圓1。 • 其次,從氣體供給源63供給且以MFC62來控制成所 . 望的流量之氣體會流動於氣體供給管61而由噴嘴60來導 入至處理室57内。 Φ 所被導入的氣體會上昇於處理室57内,從內管56的 上端開口流出至筒狀空間58而由排氣管65排出。 氣體是在通過處理室57内時與晶圓1的表面接觸。 此時,在晶圓1的表面上藉由熱 CVD反應來堆積( deposition )薄膜。 一旦經過所被預先設定的處理時間,則會從氣體供給 源63經由氣體供給管61來供給惰性氣體,處理室57内 會被置換成惰性氣體,且處理室57内的壓力會被恢復成 籲常壓。 然後,加封蓋50會藉由載舟升降機48而下降,岐管 * 59的下端會被開口,且處理完成晶圓1會在保持於載舟 . 47的狀態下從岐管59的下端搬出至製程管54的外部(載 舟卸載)。 載舟卸載的處理完成晶圓1會藉由晶圓移載裝置46a 來從載舟47取出(wafer discharge ),回到預先被搬送至 開箱器42的空箱2。 —旦所定片數的處理完成晶圓1被收納,則門4會藉 -22- 1379373 由開箱器42來裝著於箱2的晶圓出入口 3。 將晶圓出入口 3閉塞的箱2會藉由箱搬送裝置35來 自動地搬送至旋轉式箱架31所指定的架板33而交接^ 箱2會暫時地被保管。然後,一旦前遮擋板13開啓 - ,則箱搬送裝置35會將箱2從架板33搬送至箱搬入搬出 . 口 12,在箱升降機15的保持台18上潛入箱搬入搬出口 1 2而交接。 # 另外,收納處理完成晶圓1的箱2有時會從開箱器42 藉由箱搬送裝置35來直接地搬送至箱搬入搬出口 12。 —旦在保持台1 8上交接箱2,則前遮擋板1 3會關閉 。並且,箱升降機15的軸17會藉由昇降驅動裝置16來 下降至裝載埠14上。 下降至裝載埠14上的箱2會藉由工程内搬送裝置、 例如圖1所示的AGV 9來搬送至所定的工程。 ^ 若根據上述實施形態,則可取得其次的效果。 . 丨)在箱會藉由工程内搬送裝置來搬入的裝載埠設置測繪 _ 裝置’藉此可立即從裝載埠返送被發現藉由測繪裝置所讀 取的實際測繪資訊與所預先提供的測繪資訊不同之箱。因 • 此,相較於在框體内的開箱器設置測繪裝置的以往情況時 . ’可省略將箱搬入框體内後回到裝載埠後返送的費時費工 ’該部份可縮短從晶圓處理開始時期被發現不同的時間點 延遲。 2)在抓住收納容器的上部時,收納容器搬送部的操作( handling)部需要昇降機能(伸縮機能)及夾持(grip) -23- 1379373 機能(水平方向伸縮機能)。爲了使收納容器搬送部的操 作部具有各種的機能,收納容器搬送部本身需要強度,因 此收納容器搬送部會大型化。並且,因爲構造會形成複雜 ,所以成本高或容易發生不良情況。而且,在夾持不當時 ,使收納容器落下的情況亦多。甚至,夾持所造成之 收納容器搬送時間的長期化、操作部的大型化所造成之保 管架的大型化、需要上抓取的空間等所造成之裝置高度 變高等、缺點多。 該點,藉由在裝載埠的上方設置箱搬入搬出口,且設 置使由下保持箱的保持台昇降於裝載埠與箱搬入搬出口之 間的箱升降機,可利用箱搬送裝置來由下側拾取箱,因此 相較於抓住箱的上部來進行操作時,可使操作構造形成簡 單且小型。因此,可謀求CVD裝置的小型輕量化、單純 化、高速化、安全化及空間的活用化。 3) 藉由在利用箱升降機來昇降的保持台設置支承運動銷 ,可將保持台作爲有關各處的箱載置部的搬送基準。因此 ,可謀求搬送基準的統一化。 4) 藉由分成箱升降機及箱搬送裝置,可與裝載埠之箱的 昇降動作同時,使箱搬送裝置作動至箱交接位置之前待機 。亦即,可同時並行處理,因此可使總搬送時間縮短。 5) 由於箱升降機可使保持台上昇至藉由箱搬送裝置來從 下側拾取箱的高度,因此與操作箱的上部時比較之下,可 安全地交接箱。 6) 由於可在使用惰性氣體來清浄化位於裝載埠的箱内的 -24- 1379373 晶圓之預載室内進行測繪,因此可防止汚染及自然氧化膜 形成。 圖7是表示本發明的第二實施形態之批次式CVD裝 置的側面剖面圖。 本實施形態與上述實施形態主要相異的點是開箱器只 設置於裝載捧的點。 亦即’如圖7所示,裝載埠14是設置於形成預備室 45的副框體40的正面壁(區劃壁)40a,在該正面壁40a 設置有開箱器83。在形成開箱器83的預載室80之密閉框 體81的背面壁81a開設有晶圓搬入搬出口 91,且設置有 開閉該晶圓搬入搬出口 91的門機構92。 設置於預備室45内的晶圓移載機構46是構成基板搬 送裝置。當門機構92開放晶圓搬入搬出口 9 1時,晶圓移 載機構46是在箱2與載舟47之間搬送晶圓1。 載舟升降機48是將載舟47搬入至鄰接於預備室45 的處理爐51的處理室57,或將載舟47從處理室51搬出 〇 在鄰接於預備室45的頂棚面之保管室lib設置有保 管架31A及箱搬送裝置35。 在主框體11的正面壁11a中面向於保管室lib的部 位開設有箱搬入搬出口 12。前遮擋板13是在於開啓或關 閉箱搬入搬出口 1 2。 與第一實施形態的開箱器42同様,在預載室80設置 有測繪裝置8 4。測繪裝置8 4可對門.出入口 8 2移動於前後 -25- 1379373 (垂直方向)及上下(平行方向)。 其次,說明以上構成的開箱器的作用。 另外,控制器77是在於控制以下的作動。 如圖7所示,工程内搬送裝置經由正面開口 14C或頂 棚開口 HB’搬入裝載埠14時,箱2是被載置於箱升降 機15的保持台18。 此時,突設於保持台18的支承運動銷19會被嵌入箱 2的下面的定位孔5,藉此箱2是形成被定位於保持台18 的狀態。 其次,在裝載埠14中’箱2會被移動於開箱器83的 方向。開箱器83的閉合器86會保持門4。 一旦保持門4,則閉合器86會藉由移動台85的後退 來將門4從晶圓出入口 3及門出入口 82卸下。然後,閉 合器86會藉由移動台85來下降於預載室80内,藉此自 晶圓出入口 3及門出入口 82的位置脫離。 —旦晶圓出入口 3被開放,則測繪裝置84的檢測元 件會被***至晶圓出入口 3(參照圖5(b))。測繪裝置 8 4會藉由檢測元件來測繪箱2内的晶圓1。 一旦所定的測繪完了,則測繪裝置84會使檢測元件 從晶圓出入口 3恢復至原本的待機位置。 然後,閉合器86會隨著移動台85的上昇來移動至晶 圓出入口 3的位置。然後,閉合器86會藉由移動台85的 前進來將門4安裝於晶圓出入口 3及門出入D 82。 當藉由該測繪裝置所讀取的實際測繪資訊、與有關該 -26- 1379373 箱2所預先提供的測繪資訊不同時,所被發現不同的箱2 會從裝載埠14藉由工程内搬送裝置、例如圖1所示的 AGV 9來立即搬送至晶圓編成工程或之前的工程等。 當藉由前述的測繪裝置所讀取的實際測繪資訊、與有 • 關該箱2所預先提供的測繪資訊一致時,箱升降機15會 . 使藉由保持台18所支撐的箱2從裝載埠14上昇至箱搬入 搬出口 12的高度》 ® —旦箱2被上昇至箱搬入搬出口 12的高度,則前遮 擋板13會開放箱搬入搬出口 12。 接著,箱搬送裝置35的箱搬送機構35b會拾取藉由 保持台1 8所支撐的箱2。 箱搬送機構35b會將拾取後的箱2從箱搬入搬出口 12 搬入至主框體1 1内。 箱搬送裝置35會將搬入後的箱2搬送至保管架31A ’自動地交接至所被指定的架板33A。 ^ 箱2會暫時地被保管於架板33。 然後,以和前述相反的程序’箱搬送裝置35及箱升 ' 降機15會將箱2從保管架31A搬送至裝載埠14〇 - 此時’在預備室45中有清潔空氣流通充滿著。 其次’在裝載埠14中,箱2會被移動於開箱器83的 方向。開箱器83的閉合器86是在保持門4。 —旦保持門4,則閉合器86會藉由移動台85的後退 來將門4從晶圓出入口 3卸下。然後,閉合器86會藉由 移動台85來下降於預載室80内’從晶圓出入口 3及門出 -27- 1379373 入口 82的位置脫離。 一旦晶圓出入口 3被開放,則晶圓搬入搬 藉由門機構92來開放。 此時’箱内的晶圓的測繪已經完成,所以1 一旦晶圓出入口 3及晶圓搬入搬出口 91 晶圓移載裝置46a會藉由鑷子46c來將晶圓1 晶圓出入口 3或門出入口 82及晶圓搬入搬出匚 晶圓移載裝置46a會將拾取後的晶圓1搬送至 置。刻槽對準裝置是在於使晶圓1對準刻槽。 ,晶圓移載裝置46a會將晶圓1從刻槽對準裝 46c拾取。晶圓移載裝置46a會將拾取後的晶丨 載舟47,裝塡(charging)至載舟47。 將晶圓1交接至載舟47的晶圓移載裝置 箱2,將其次的晶圓1裝填至載舟47。 另外,亦可不在保管架31A進行暫時保管 ,晶圓移載裝置46a藉由鑷子46c來將晶圓1 搬送。亦即,測繪完了,測繪裝置的檢測元件 入口 3回復到原來的待機位置後或測繪中使晶 口 91開放。晶圓移載裝置46a是在晶圓搬入據 入鑷子46c來從箱2拾取晶圓1。 由於以後的步驟是與上述實施形態同樣, 明。 若利用本實施形態,則只要將開箱器設置 可,因此可寄與空間效率提升(台面面積縮小 出口 91會 可省略。 被開放,則 從箱2經由 ]91拾取。 刻槽對準裝 刻槽對準後 置藉由鑷子 B 1搬送至 4 6a會回至!J 箱2的步驟 從箱2直接 會從晶圓出 圓搬入搬出 [出口 91插 因此省略説 於裝載埠即 化)、生產 -28- 1379373 能力提升(可減少箱的移動範圍)。 圖8是表示本發明的第三實施形態之批次式cvd裝 置的側面剖面圖。 本實施形態與上述第二實施形態相異的點是構成可抓 住相的上部來操作的點、設置—即使在箱内晶圓搬送中還 是可接受來自頂棚走行型構内搬送裝置(以下稱爲OHT) 的箱之箱平台機構的點。 亦即’如圖8所示’抓住箱的上部來操作的箱搬送裝 置(以下稱爲抓取式箱搬送裝置)1〇〇是在鄰接於預備室 45的頂棚面之保管室lib中與保管架31A —起設置。 抓取式箱搬送裝置100是具備:箱升降機1〇1、藉由 箱升降機101來昇降的箱搬送機構1〇2、’及藉由箱搬送機 構102來移動的夾持部103。夾持部103可伸縮由上來夾 持突設於箱2的上面之帽簷部6。Here, a method of forming a thin film on the wafer 1 by the CVD method using the processing furnace 51 will be described. Further, in the following description, the operations of the respective units constituting the processing furnace 51 are controlled by the controller 77. Once the wafer 1 of a plurality of wafers is loaded onto the carrier 47, as shown in FIG. 4, the carrier 47 holding the plurality of wafers 1 is lifted by the boat lift 48 and moved into Processing chamber 57 (loading of the loading boat) In this state, the sealing cover 50 is in a state in which the lower end of the manifold 59 is sealed via the 〇-shaped ring 50a. The inside of the processing chamber 57 is exhausted by the exhaust unit 68 to form a desired pressure (degree of vacuum). At this time, the pressure in the processing chamber 57 is measured by the pressure sensor side unit 66, and the pressure control means 67 is fed back based on the measured pressure. Further, the inside of the processing chamber 57 is heated by the heater 52 to form a desired temperature. At this time, the energization state to the heater 52 is feedback-controlled based on the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor 74 in such a manner that the desired temperature distribution of -21 - 1379373 can be formed in the processing chamber 57. Then, the carrier 47 is rotated by the rotating mechanism 70, whereby the crystal 1 is rotated. • Next, the gas supplied from the gas supply source 63 and controlled by the MFC 62 to flow at the desired flow rate flows into the gas supply pipe 61 and is introduced into the processing chamber 57 by the nozzle 60. The gas introduced by Φ rises in the processing chamber 57, flows out from the upper end opening of the inner tube 56 to the cylindrical space 58, and is discharged by the exhaust pipe 65. The gas is in contact with the surface of the wafer 1 while passing through the processing chamber 57. At this time, a film is deposited on the surface of the wafer 1 by a thermal CVD reaction. Once the predetermined processing time has elapsed, the inert gas is supplied from the gas supply source 63 via the gas supply pipe 61, the inside of the processing chamber 57 is replaced with an inert gas, and the pressure in the processing chamber 57 is restored to Atmospheric pressure. Then, the cap 50 is lowered by the boat lifter 48, the lower end of the manifold * 59 is opened, and the processed wafer 1 is carried out from the lower end of the manifold 59 while being held in the carrying boat 47. The outside of the process tube 54 (loading the boat unloading). The wafer 1 for carrying out the unloading of the boat is taken out from the carrying boat 47 by the wafer transfer device 46a, and returned to the empty tank 2 previously transported to the unpacker 42. Once the wafer 1 has been stored for the predetermined number of wafers, the gate 4 is loaded into the wafer inlet and outlet 3 of the tank 2 by the unpacker 42 by -22-1379373. The box 2 that closes the wafer inlet and outlet 3 is automatically transported to the shelf 33 designated by the rotary box frame 31 by the tank transport device 35, and the delivery box 2 is temporarily stored. Then, when the front shutter 13 is opened, the tank transport device 35 transports the tank 2 from the shelf 33 to the tank for loading and unloading. The port 12 is submerged into the tank loading/unloading port 1 2 on the holding table 18 of the box elevator 15 and handed over. . # Further, the tank 2 storing the processed wafer 1 may be directly transported from the unpacker 42 to the tank loading/unloading port 12 by the tank conveying device 35. Once the transfer box 2 is transferred on the holding station 18, the front shutter 13 will be closed. Also, the shaft 17 of the box elevator 15 is lowered onto the loading magazine 14 by the elevation drive unit 16. The box 2 that has been lowered onto the magazine 14 is transported to the designated project by an in-house transport device, such as the AGV 9 shown in FIG. ^ According to the above embodiment, the second effect can be obtained.丨) In the container, the loading and unloading device is moved by the in-house conveying device to set up the mapping device _ device, so that the actual mapping information read by the mapping device and the pre-provided mapping information can be immediately returned from the loading device. Different boxes. Because this is the same as the previous situation of setting up the surveying device in the box opener in the frame. 'It can omit the time-consuming labor required to return the box into the frame and return it to the loading frame.' The wafer processing start period was found to be delayed at different time points. 2) When grasping the upper part of the storage container, the operation (handling) of the storage container conveying unit requires an elevator function (stretching function) and a grip -23- 1379373 function (horizontal direction stretching function). In order to provide various functions to the operation portion of the container transport unit, the storage container transport unit itself needs strength, and the storage container transport unit is increased in size. Moreover, since the structure is complicated, the cost is high or a defect is likely to occur. Moreover, there are many cases where the storage container is dropped when the clamping is not proper. In addition, there are many disadvantages such as the long-term transportation time of the storage container caused by the clamping, the increase in the size of the pipe holder caused by the increase in the size of the operation portion, the height of the device required to be grasped, and the like. At this point, by providing a tank loading/unloading port above the loading weir, and providing a box elevator that moves the holding table of the lower holding tank between the loading magazine and the tank loading/unloading port, the box conveying device can be used to lower the side. By picking up the box, the operation structure can be made simple and small, as compared to grasping the upper portion of the box. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size, weight, simplicity, speed, safety, and space utilization of the CVD apparatus. 3) By providing a support movement pin in the holding table that is lifted and lowered by the box elevator, the holding table can be used as a transport standard for the box mounting portion in each place. Therefore, it is possible to unify the transportation standard. 4) By dividing into the box elevator and the box transporting device, it is possible to wait for the tank transporting device to move to the tank transfer position at the same time as the lifting operation of the loading box. That is, it can be processed in parallel at the same time, so that the total transfer time can be shortened. 5) Since the box elevator can raise the holding table to the height of the box picked up from the lower side by the box conveying device, the box can be safely handed over in comparison with the upper portion of the operation box. 6) Contamination and natural oxide film formation can be prevented by using an inert gas to clean and purify the pre-loading chamber of the -24-1379373 wafer in the cassette. Fig. 7 is a side sectional view showing a batch type CVD apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. The point that the present embodiment differs from the above embodiment mainly is that the unpacker is provided only at the point of the loading grip. That is, as shown in Fig. 7, the loading cassette 14 is a front wall (section wall) 40a provided in the sub-frame 40 forming the preliminary chamber 45, and the box opening 83 is provided in the front wall 40a. A wafer loading/unloading port 91 is opened in the rear wall 81a of the sealing frame 81 of the preloading chamber 80 forming the unpacker 83, and a door mechanism 92 for opening and closing the wafer loading/unloading port 91 is provided. The wafer transfer mechanism 46 provided in the preliminary chamber 45 constitutes a substrate transfer device. When the door mechanism 92 opens the wafer loading/unloading port 9 1 , the wafer transfer mechanism 46 transports the wafer 1 between the tank 2 and the carrying boat 47 . The boat lifter 48 is a processing chamber 57 that carries the carrying boat 47 to the processing furnace 51 adjacent to the preliminary chamber 45, or carries the carrying boat 47 out of the processing chamber 51, and is disposed in the storage compartment lib of the ceiling surface adjacent to the preliminary chamber 45. There are a storage rack 31A and a tank transport device 35. A box loading/unloading port 12 is opened in a portion of the front wall 11a of the main casing 11 facing the storage compartment lib. The front shielding plate 13 is for opening or closing the container loading/unloading port 1 2 . In the same manner as the unpacker 42 of the first embodiment, a surveying device 84 is provided in the preload chamber 80. The surveying device 84 can move the door. The entrance 8 2 moves in front and rear -25-1379373 (vertical direction) and up and down (parallel direction). Next, the action of the above-described opener can be explained. In addition, the controller 77 is controlled by the following operations. As shown in Fig. 7, when the in-project conveying device carries the loading cassette 14 through the front opening 14C or the ceiling opening HB', the box 2 is placed on the holding table 18 of the box elevator 15. At this time, the supporting movement pin 19 protruding from the holding table 18 is inserted into the positioning hole 5 of the lower side of the case 2, whereby the case 2 is formed in a state of being positioned on the holding table 18. Next, in the loading cassette 14, the box 2 is moved in the direction of the unpacker 83. The closer 86 of the unpacker 83 holds the door 4. Once the door 4 is held, the closer 86 will be removed from the wafer access 3 and the doorway 82 by the retraction of the mobile station 85. Then, the shutter 86 is lowered into the preload chamber 80 by the moving table 85, thereby being separated from the position of the wafer entrance 3 and the door entrance 82. Once the wafer inlet and outlet 3 is opened, the detecting elements of the mapping device 84 are inserted into the wafer inlet and outlet 3 (refer to Fig. 5(b)). The surveying device 84 will map the wafer 1 in the tank 2 by means of the detecting element. Once the predetermined survey is completed, the surveying device 84 restores the detecting element from the wafer access 3 to the original standby position. Then, the closer 86 moves to the position of the wafer entrance and exit 3 as the moving table 85 rises. Then, the closer 86 mounts the door 4 to the wafer entrance 3 and the door D 82 by the advancement of the mobile station 85. When the actual mapping information read by the mapping device is different from the mapping information pre-provided by the -26-1379373 box 2, the different containers 2 are found to be loaded from the loading cassette 14 by the in-house conveying device. For example, the AGV 9 shown in Fig. 1 is immediately transferred to a wafer or a previous project. When the actual mapping information read by the aforementioned mapping device coincides with the mapping information previously provided by the box 2, the box elevator 15 will cause the box 2 supported by the holding table 18 to be loaded from the magazine. 14 Ascending to the height of the tank loading/unloading port 12" When the tank 2 is raised to the height of the tank loading/unloading port 12, the front shutter 13 opens the tank loading/unloading port 12. Next, the tank transport mechanism 35b of the tank transport device 35 picks up the tank 2 supported by the holding table 18. The tank transport mechanism 35b carries the picked-up box 2 from the tank loading/unloading port 12 into the main casing 1 1 . The tank transporting device 35 transports the carried in tank 2 to the storage rack 31A' and automatically transfers it to the designated shelf 33A. ^ The box 2 is temporarily stored in the shelf 33. Then, in the procedure opposite to the above, the box transporting device 35 and the box lifter 15 transport the tank 2 from the storage rack 31A to the loading cassette 14 - at this time, the clean air is filled in the preliminary chamber 45. Next, in the loading cassette 14, the box 2 is moved in the direction of the unpacker 83. The closer 86 of the unpacker 83 is at the holding door 4. Once the door 4 is held, the closer 86 will be removed from the wafer entry and exit 3 by the retraction of the mobile station 85. Then, the closer 86 is lowered by the moving table 85 in the preload chamber 80 to be detached from the wafer inlet 3 and the door -27-1379373 inlet 82. Once the wafer entrance 3 is opened, the wafer loading and unloading is opened by the door mechanism 92. At this time, the mapping of the wafer in the box has been completed, so once the wafer inlet and outlet 3 and the wafer loading and unloading port 91, the wafer transfer device 46a will use the die 46c to transfer the wafer 1 wafer entrance 3 or the door entrance and exit. 82 and wafer loading/unloading The wafer transfer device 46a transports the picked wafer 1 to the wafer. The groove alignment device consists in aligning the wafer 1 with the groove. The wafer transfer device 46a picks up the wafer 1 from the groove alignment package 46c. The wafer transfer device 46a will pick up the picked wafer carrier 47 to the carrying boat 47. The wafer 1 is transferred to the wafer transfer device case 2 of the boat 47, and the next wafer 1 is loaded to the carrier boat 47. Further, the wafer holder 1 may be temporarily stored without being stored in the storage rack 31A, and the wafer transfer device 46a may transport the wafer 1 by the die 46c. That is, after the surveying is completed, the detecting element inlet 3 of the surveying device returns to the original standby position or the crystal port 91 is opened during the mapping. The wafer transfer device 46a picks up the wafer 1 from the cassette 2 by loading the wafer 46c into the wafer. The subsequent steps are the same as those of the above embodiment. According to this embodiment, since the opener can be installed, the space efficiency can be improved (the mesa area reduction outlet 91 can be omitted. When it is opened, it can be picked up from the case 2 via the 91). The groove alignment is carried out by the tweezers B 1 being transferred to the 4 6a, and the step of the J case 2 is directly carried out from the wafer 2 from the case 2 [the outlet 91 is inserted, so the description is omitted.) -28- 1379373 Capacity improvement (can reduce the range of movement of the box). Fig. 8 is a side cross-sectional view showing a batch type cvd device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment differs from the above-described second embodiment in that it constitutes a point at which the upper portion of the phase can be grasped, and it is provided that it is acceptable to transport the device from the ceiling during the wafer transport in the box (hereinafter referred to as OHT) The point of the box box platform mechanism. In other words, as shown in Fig. 8, the box transporting device (hereinafter referred to as the grab box transporting device) 1 that is operated by grasping the upper portion of the tank is in the storage compartment lib adjacent to the ceiling surface of the preliminary chamber 45. The storage rack 31A is provided together. The grab box transporting apparatus 100 includes a tank lifter 1〇, a tank transport mechanism 1〇2, ′ which is lifted and lowered by the tank lifter 101, and a gripping unit 103 that is moved by the tank transport mechanism 102. The grip portion 103 is telescopically held by the cap portion 6 projecting from the upper surface of the case 2.

搬入至主框體11的箱保管室lib内。 . 抓取式箱搬送裝置100會將所被搬入的箱2搬送至保 管架31A,自動交接至所被指定的架板33A。 # 箱2會暫時被保管。 然後’以和前述相反的程序,抓取式箱搬送裝置100 會從保管架31A將箱2搬送至裝載埠14。 例如,在測繪步驟中當別的箱2藉由〇 Η T 1 1 0搬送而 來時’箱平台機構105會藉由滑板107來從ΟΗΤ110接受 該箱2,以滑板107暫時保管。 亦即,如圖8假像線所示,箱平台機構1 〇 5是使滑板 107滑動來關閉開口部106,而藉由滑板107來接受 ® OHTHO的箱2。亦即,滑板107是一時發揮保管架的任 務。 然後,從滑板107移動箱2至裝載埠14的保持台18 . 時’在箱搬送機構1〇2從滑板107舉起箱2的狀態下,箱 平台機構105會使滑板107滑動而開啓開口部106。接著 ’箱搬送機構102會使舉起後的箱2通過開口部106來載 置於裝載埠14的保持台18。 若根據本實施形態,則除了前述第二實施形態的效果 以外’還可取得其次的效果。 -31 - 1379373 在測繪步驟中當箱藉由OHT搬送而來時,箱平台機 構會藉由該滑板來從ΟΗΤ接受該箱,藉此可暫時保管。 圖9是表示本發明的第四實施形態之批次式CVD裝 置的側面剖面圖。 本實施形態與上述第一實施形態相異的點是具備抓住 箱2的帽簷部6來搬送的箱搬送裝置(以下稱爲抓取式箱 搬送裝置)200的點。 亦即’如圖9所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置200是設置於 箱保管室lib。抓取式箱搬送裝置200是可在抓住帽簷部 6的狀態下’經由箱搬入搬出口 12,在保持台18與箱保 管室lib内之間搬送箱2。 抓取式箱搬送裝置200是具備:箱升降機201、藉由 箱升降機201來昇降的箱搬送機構202、及藉由箱搬送機 構202來移動的夾持部203。就夾持部203而言,有伸縮 於水平方向來抓住帽簷部6的型態、及未具備伸縮於水平 方向的機構,形成大略]的字型,僅鉤於帽簷部的鉤型態 、以及具備伸縮於鉛直方向的機構的型態。 抓取式箱搬送裝置200是藉由控制器77來控制。 其次’數例説明以上構成的抓取式箱搬送裝置的運用 方法》 在以下的説明中,控制器77是在於控制抓取式箱搬 送裝置200、箱升降機15、前遮擋板13等的作動。 圖1〇是表示運用方法的第一例。 如圖10(a)所示,箱升降機15是藉由昇降驅動裝置 -32- 1379373 16來使軸17伸長,使支撐箱2的保持台18上昇至箱2的 底面比基準高度204更高的位置。與前述的箱升降機15 的動作同時,箱升降機201會以夾持部2 03的高度能夠形 成與帽簷部6的高度同高度之方式來使箱搬送機構202、 夾持部203昇降。 另外,基準高度2 04是箱搬入搬入口 12(參照圖9) 的下端的高度,至少密閉框體21的上端的高度位置以上 的高度位置。比預載室20的上端的高度位置更高的高度 位置。 前遮擋板13係開放箱搬入搬出口 12 (參照圖9)。 如圖10(b)所示,箱搬送機構202會伸長,從箱保 管室lib内經由箱搬入搬出口 12,水平移動至位於主框體 11外的夾持部2 03,藉此使夾持部203換在帽簷部6之下 〇 如圖10(c)所示’一旦箱升降機201使箱搬送機構 2 02上昇,則夾持部203會從保持台18上吊起箱2。 如圖10(d)所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置2〇〇會使箱搬 送機構202縮短’而令箱2搬入至箱保管室llb内。 另一方面’箱升降機15會藉由昇降驅動裝置16來使 軸17縮短’而令保持台18下降至裝載埠14上。 然後’抓取式箱搬送裝置200會將箱2搬送至旋轉式 箱架31,交接至予以指定的架板33» 若根據該第一例,則夾持部2 0 3只要鉤到帽簷部6即 可。因此’夾持部203不需要伸縮於水平方向及錯直方向 -33- 1379373 的機構,其構造及作動形成簡單。其結果,可謀求低成本 化、省空間化或運用時間的縮短化。 圖11是表示運用方法的第二例。 如圖11 (a)所示,箱升降機15是藉由昇降驅動裝置 16來使軸17伸長,使支撐箱2的保持台18上昇至箱的底 面比基準高度2〇4更下的位置,亦即帽簷部6比基準高度 204更上的位置。 與前述的箱升降機15的動作同時,箱升降機20 1是 以夾持部2 0 3的高度能夠形成與帽簷部6的高度同高度之 方式來使箱搬送機構202、夾持部203昇降。 前遮擋板13係開放箱搬入搬出口 12(參照圖9)。 如圖1 1 ( b )所示,箱搬送機構202會伸長,從箱保 管室Ub内經由箱搬入搬出口 12,水平移動至位於主框體 11外的夾持部203,藉此使夾持部203換至帽簷部6之下 〇 如圖11 (c)所示,一但箱升降機201使箱搬送機構 202上昇,則夾持部203會從保持台18上吊起箱2。 如圖1 1 ( d )所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會使箱搬 送機構202縮短,令箱2搬入至箱保管室lib内。 另一方面,箱升降機15會藉由昇降驅動裝置16來使 軸17縮短,而令保持台18下降至裝載埠14上。 然後,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會將箱2搬送至旋轉式 箱架3 1,交接至予以指定的架板33。 相較於第一例,雖需要藉由箱升降機201來使箱2昇 -34- 1379373 降於保持台18與箱搬入搬出口 12的高度之間的動作及動 作時間的點較差,但在此第二例中,同樣只要夾持部203 鉤到帽簷部6即可。因此,夾持部203不需要伸縮於水平 方向及鉛直方向的機構,其構造及作動形成簡單。其結果 ,可謀求低成本化、省空間化或運用時間的縮短化。 圖12及圖13是表示運用方法的第三例。 如圖12(a)所示,箱升降機15會藉由昇降驅動裝置 16來使軸17伸長,令支撐箱2的保持台18上昇至帽簷部 6形成基準高度20 4正下的位置。與前述箱升降機15的動 作同時,箱升降機201會以夾持部203的高度能夠形成對 向於箱搬入搬出口 12的高度之方式來使箱搬送機構202、 夾持部203昇降。 前遮擋板13係開放箱搬入搬出口 12(參照圖9)。 如圖12(b)所示,一旦箱搬送機構202潛入箱搬入 搬出口 12,則夾持部203會位於帽簷部6的正上方。 如圖12(c)所示,一旦箱升降機20丨使箱搬送機構 202下降’則夾持部203會下降至帽簷部6。夾持部203 是伸長於水平方向。 如圖12 ( d )所示,夾持部203是縮短於水平方向, 換至帽簷部6之下。 如圖13(a)所示,一旦箱升降機201使箱搬送機構 2 02上昇,則夾持部2 〇3會從保持台18之上吊起箱2。箱 升降機201是使箱搬送機構202至少上昇至箱2的底面比 基準高度更上的高度。 -35- 1379373 如圖13(b)所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會使箱搬 送機構202縮短,而令箱2搬入至箱保管室lib内。 另一方面,箱升降機15會藉由昇降驅動裝置16來使 軸17縮短,而令保持台18下降至裝載璋14上。 然後,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會將箱2搬送至旋轉式 箱架31,交接至予以指定的架板33。 若根據此第三例,則相較於第一例、第二例,雖需要 藉由箱升降機201來使箱2昇降於保持台18與箱搬入搬 出口 12的商度之間的動作及動作時間、及需要在夾持部 2 03水平方向伸縮的機構的點較差,但因爲夾持部2〇3不 需要伸縮於鉛直方向的機構,其構造及作動形成簡單。其 結果,可謀求低成本化、省空間化或運用時間的縮短化。 第四實施形態是具備位於裝載埠的箱升降機及抓取式 箱搬送裝置’因此在裝載埠之保持台的昇降動作中,抓取 式箱搬送裝置可進行將其他的箱搬送至旋轉式箱架或副框 體的開箱器等其他的動作。因此,可提升抓取式箱搬送裝 置的操業率。 並且’藉由分成箱升降機及抓取式箱搬送裝置,可與 裝載埠之箱的上昇動作同時,使抓取式箱搬送裝置作動至 箱交接位置前’而使待機。亦即,可同時並行處理,因此 可使總搬送時間縮短。 同樣’藉由同時實施抓取式箱搬送裝置的上昇與箱升 降機的下降,箱的交接時間亦可縮短。 另外,第四實施形態的運用方法可適用於前述第一實 -36- 1379373 施形態及第二實施形態。適用時,可取得與前述第一實施 形態及第二實施形態同様的效果。 圖14是表示開箱器的較佳實施例的側面剖面圖。 圖15是其分解立體圖。 如圖14所示,在密閉框體21的上面壁連接氮氣體供 給線路21A的一端,在密閉框體21的下面壁連接排氣線 路21B的一端。氮氣體供給線路21A是將氮氣體21C從 吹出口往下吹出至預載室20内。排氣線路21B是對預載 室20内進行排氣。 如圖14及圖15所示,在預載室20内的上端部,格 柵(Louver) 21D會被鋪設於與氮氣體供給線路21A的吹 出口對向的位置。格柵21D是構成使從氮氣體供給線路 21A的吹出口吹出的氮氣體21C的流向偏向的偏向具。格 柵21D是朝門出入口 22傾斜》藉由此傾斜,格柵21D可 使氮氣體流朝門出入口 22偏向。 其次,說明以上構成的開箱器的作用及效果。 由於氮氣體供給線路21A會被連接至預載室20的上 端,排氣線路21B會被配置於下端,因此預載室20内的 氮氣體流是形成下流。下流的氮氣體2 1 C可有效地排出預 載室20内的塵埃及有機物等的異物。亦即,下流的氮氣 體21C可防範異物附著於晶圓1,或侵入箱2。就預載室 20内的異物而言,有發自預載室20内所設置的移動台25 、閉合器26、及測繪裝置27的塵埃及有機物等。 格柵21D會使氮氣體21C偏向門出入口 22,引導至 -37- 1379373 箱2内。往該箱2内之氮氣體21C的流動是在於防止來自 預載室20内下部之對流所造成異物的巻入。 例如,可實施其次的運用方法。 藉由工程内搬送裝置來從裝載埠14搬出箱2時,利 • 用格柵21D來引導氮氣體21C至箱2内,藉此利用氮氣體 . 21C來強制性清靜(置換)箱2内的環境(空氣及異物等 )。然後’在箱2的晶圓出入口 3藉由開箱器23來裝著 • 門4。 若根據此運用方法,則可在箱2内更封入氮氣體21C ’因此可防止箱2内的汚染及自然氧化膜形成。 例如,即使副框體40内未形成氮氣體環境,還是可 在箱2内封入氮氣體21C。 並且’在晶圓出入口 3裝著門4以前對箱2内的晶圓 1實施測繪時,可在測繪完成箱2封入氮氣體2 1 C的狀態 下,送至其次工程。 ® 另外,此開箱器的較佳實施例亦可適用於第一實施形 態〜第四實施形態。適用時可取得前述的效果。 ' 圖16是表示箱升降機的較佳實施例的立體圖。 . 圖17是表示其作用狀態的立體圖。 如圖16所示,在箱升降機15設置有罩蓋3 00。罩蓋 3〇〇是具備:水平配置的頂板301、及垂直配置,上端邊 被固定於頂板301的前端邊之前板302。頂板301是被固 定於昇降驅動裝置16的軸17。前板302是形成可被覆裝 載埠14的橫寬、及比軸17的衝程更大的高度(參照圖17 -38- 1379373 昇降驅動裝置16、軸17可爲1個,但最好是所定的 間隔設置2個以上。藉此,可在載置箱的狀態下使頂板 301安定地昇降。 在頂板301中,三角形的逃逸孔303會被開設於裝載 埠14上的保持台18所對向的部位。在逃逸孔3 03的三角 形頂點分別突設有運動銷19«因此,頂板301是構成保持 箱2下面的保持部,且構成箱載置部。 另外,亦可將頂板301表現成保持部,罩蓋300表現 成固定於保持部者。 又,罩蓋300並非一定要固定於保持部者。例如,亦 可在罩蓋3 00設驅動裝置,按照保持部、昇降機構的作動 來進行昇降。 其次,說明以上構成的箱升降機的作用及效果》 雖箱2的圖示省略,但實際從圖16的狀態來移行至 圖17的狀態時,頂板301會從保持台18上拾取箱2。此 時,頂板301的運動銷19是在箱2下面的定位孔5分別 嵌合於保持台1 8的運動銷1 9的外側。 另外,在通常的待機時,頂板301是位於比保持台18 更下方’對門出入口 22,保持台18會迴避前後時的干渉 〇 從圖17的狀態移行至圖16的狀態時,頂板301會將 箱2交接至保持台18上。 被覆箱升降機15的罩蓋300是在於抑止來自箱升降 -39- 1379373 機15的粒子飛散。特別是藉由頂板301來使箱2上昇至 箱搬入搬出口 12附近的狀態,由於昇降驅動裝置16及軸 17等會從裝置正面由正面開口 14C露出,因此會使粒子 飛散至裝置外。但,藉由罩蓋3 00,可抑止如此的粒子飛 • 散。 - 被覆箱升降機15的罩蓋300可抑止因爲昇降驅動裝 置16及軸17露出於作業空間所造成作業者的危險。 ® 例如,可藉由罩蓋300來阻止作業者以手動來將箱2 從匣14A的正面開口 14C(參照圖1)裝載至裝載埠14時 之對昇降驅動裝置16及軸17的接觸。 圖18是表示箱升降機的更佳實施例的立體圖。 圖19是表示其作用狀態的立體圖。 本實施例與上述實施例相異的點是罩蓋300具有一對 的側板304、304的點。一對的側板304、304是分別直角 固定於前板302的左右兩端邊。亦即,除了有開箱器23 ^ @側以外,設於三側面。 若根據本實施例,則罩蓋3 00不僅箱升降機15的前 方,也覆蓋左右側方,因此可更提升粒子飛散防止效果及 . 安全性確保效果。 另外,設置圖16〜圖19所示的箱升降機之實施例亦 可適用於第一實施形態〜第四實施形態。適用時可取得前 述的效果。 另外,本發明並非限於上述實施形態,只要不脫離其 主旨範圍,亦可實施各種變更。 -40- 1379373 例如,若考量箱保管室的密閉性或防止粒子飛散至裝 置外等,則最好是設置前遮擋板13,或箱搬入搬出口 12 形成小開口尺寸。但,亦可無前遮擋板13。 又,亦可使箱搬入搬出口 12擴大成最大限度,實質 將比開箱器23及密閉框體21更上方的區劃壁幾乎全部開 □。 例如,至箱搬送裝置35存取可能的高度位置爲止藉 由箱升降機15來使保持台18(頂板301)預先上昇,在 該位置從OHT接受箱,使保持台18下降不進行門4的開 閉動作,藉由箱搬送裝置35來從保持台18接受箱。 一旦如此運用,則OHT的下降範圍少爲保持台18上 昇的部份即可。又,由於保持台18從OHT接受箱後,不 必使箱搬送裝置35上昇至存取可能的高度位置,因此該 部份可縮短搬送時間。 例如,抓取式箱搬送裝置亦可採用於第一實施形態及 第二實施形態。 第三實施形態的第二區劃壁及箱平台機構亦可採用於 第一實施形態及第二實施形態。 測繪裝置亦可將第一實施形態適用於第二實施形態、 第三實施形態及第四實施形態,或將第二實施形態、第三 實施形態及第四實施形態適用於第一實施形態。 在上述實施形態中雖是針對適用於批次式CVD裝置 時來敘述,但本發明並非限於此,亦可適用於擴散裝置或 退火裝置及氧化裝置等的基板處理裝置全部。 -41 - 1379373 基板並非限於晶圓,亦可爲光罩或印刷配線基板、液 晶面板、光碟及磁碟等。 附記理想的實施態樣。 (1) 一種基板處理裝置,其特徵係具備: 收納容器,其係收納複數的基板,基板出入口會藉由 蓋體來阻塞; 搬入搬出部,其係於框體内與外之間進行該收納容器 的搬入搬出; 載置部,其係於該搬入搬出部載置上述收納容器; 保管室,其係鄰接於上述搬入搬出部而設置,保管上 述收納容器; 開閉裝置,其係進行載置於該載置部之上述收納容器 的上述基板出入口的開閉; 搬送裝置,其係具有保持上述收納容器下面的保持機 構,經由上述開閉裝置的上方,在上述保管室内與外之間 ,搬送藉由該保持機構來保持的上述收納容器;及 昇降機構,其係於上述開閉裝置進行上述收納容器的 開閉時之上述載置部的高度位置、與上述搬送裝置進行上 述收納容器的授受的高度位置之間,進行上述載置部的昇 降。.

In the state in which the opening portion 106 is opened, the box platform mechanism 1 is placed on the holding table H of the loading cassette 14 from the OHT 110 via the ceiling opening 14B and the opening portion 106. On the other hand, the slider 107 is used. When the opening 106 is closed, the ΟΗΤ1 10 is placed on the slide 107 ("the task of the storage rack"). Then, when the box 2 is placed on the holding table 18 of the loading cassette 14 from the slider 1〇7, the box platform mechanism 105 slides the slider 107 to open the opening in a state where the box conveying mechanism 1〇2 lifts the box 2. Department 1〇6. Next, the tank transport mechanism 102 operates the tank 2' to be placed on the holding table 18 of the loading cassette 14 by the operation of the opening portion 106 to carry -29-1379373. Next, the above-described operation steps of the grab box transport apparatus 100 and the box platform mechanism 105 will be described. In addition, the other steps of the mapping procedure of the wafer in the survey box are the same as in the second embodiment. The description of the steps is omitted. .  As shown in Fig. 8, the OHT 110 directly feeds the tank 2 to the loading cassette 14 via the ceiling opening 14B and the opening 106. # At this time, the supporting movement pin 19 of the holding table 18 is inserted into the positioning hole 5 of the lower side of the box 2, whereby the box 2 is formed in a state of being positioned in the holding table 18, in the loading cassette 14, the mapping device is a wafer in the surveying box (refer to the first embodiment and the second embodiment). ^ In the mapping step, the actual mapping information read by the mapping device and the mapping information previously provided by the box 2 At the same time, the box 2 that is found to be different will be immediately transferred from the loading cassette 14 by the OHT1 10 to the wafer or the previous project. When the actual mapping information read by the mapping device is consistent with the mapping information previously provided by the box 2, the front shutter 13 will open the box.  When the container 12 is moved in, the box lifter 101 lowers the tank transport mechanism 丨〇2 to the opposite position of the tank loading/unloading port 12. Next, the box transport mechanism 102 causes the grip portion 1〇3 to be submerged into the tank loading/unloading port 12, and is moved to the upper side of the tank 2. Next, the tank transport mechanism 102 lowers the grip portion 1〇3. The grip portion 103 is extended to the lower side, and the cap portion 6 of the case 2 is clamped from above. -30- 1379373 Once the brim portion 6' of the phase 2 is clamped, the grip portion i〇3 is shortened to the upper side and the box 2 is lifted, and the box lifter 1〇1 causes the tank transport mechanism 1〇2 to rise to the box The height corresponding to the loading and unloading port 12. The tank transport mechanism 102 carries the hoisted box 2 from the tank into the carry-out port 12 - into the tank storage room lib of the main casing 11. .  The grab box transport apparatus 100 transports the carried box 2 to the shelf 31A and automatically delivers it to the designated shelf 33A. #箱2 will be temporarily kept. Then, in the opposite procedure to the above, the grab box transport apparatus 100 transports the tank 2 from the storage rack 31A to the loading cassette 14. For example, when the other box 2 is transported by the Η T 1 10 0 in the mapping step, the box platform mechanism 105 receives the box 2 from the cassette 110 by the slide 107, and temporarily stores it with the slide 107. That is, as shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 8, the box platform mechanism 1 〇 5 is a case 2 for sliding the slider 107 to close the opening portion 106, and accepting the ® OHTHO by the slider 107. That is, the slide 107 is a task for temporarily playing the storage rack. Then, the tank 2 is moved from the slide 107 to the holding table 18 on which the crucible 14 is loaded.  When the tank transport mechanism 1〇2 lifts the tank 2 from the slide 107, the box deck mechanism 105 slides the slide plate 107 to open the opening 106. Next, the box transport mechanism 102 causes the lifted box 2 to be placed on the holding table 18 of the loading cassette 14 through the opening 106. According to the present embodiment, in addition to the effects of the second embodiment described above, the second effect can be obtained. -31 - 1379373 When the box is transported by OHT during the mapping step, the box platform mechanism accepts the box from the raft by means of the slide, thereby temporarily storing it. Fig. 9 is a side cross-sectional view showing a batch type CVD apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The present embodiment differs from the above-described first embodiment in that it includes a box transport device (hereinafter referred to as a grab box transport device) 200 that transports the brim portion 6 of the case 2 and transports it. That is, as shown in Fig. 9, the grab box transporting apparatus 200 is installed in the tank storage compartment lib. In the grip box transporting device 200, the tank 2 can be transported through the tank in the state in which the hatch portion 6 is grasped, and the tank 2 is transported between the holding table 18 and the tank holding chamber lib. The grab box transport apparatus 200 includes a box lifter 201, a tank transport mechanism 202 that is lifted and lowered by the tank lifter 201, and a gripping unit 203 that is moved by the tank transport mechanism 202. The grip portion 203 has a shape in which the cap portion 6 is stretched and contracted in the horizontal direction, and a mechanism that does not have a telescopic direction in the horizontal direction, and a substantially U-shaped shape is formed, and only the hook type of the brim portion is hooked. And a type of mechanism that is stretched in the vertical direction. The grab box transport device 200 is controlled by a controller 77. Next, the operation of the above-described grab-type box conveying device will be described in a few examples. In the following description, the controller 77 is operated to control the gripping box conveying device 200, the box elevator 15, the front shutter 13, and the like. Fig. 1A is a first example showing an operation method. As shown in Fig. 10(a), the box elevator 15 is extended by the lifting and lowering device -32-1379373 16 to raise the holding table 18 of the support box 2 to the bottom surface of the box 2 higher than the reference height 204. position. Simultaneously with the operation of the above-described box elevator 15, the tank elevator 201 raises and lowers the tank transport mechanism 202 and the grip portion 203 so that the height of the grip portion 203 can be formed at the same height as the height of the brim portion 6. Further, the reference height 024 is the height of the lower end of the tank loading/unloading port 12 (see Fig. 9), and at least the height position of the upper end of the casing 21 is equal to or higher than the height position. A height position higher than the height position of the upper end of the preload chamber 20. The front shielding plate 13 is an open box loading/unloading port 12 (see Fig. 9). As shown in Fig. 10 (b), the tank transport mechanism 202 is extended, and is carried into the carry-out port 12 from the tank storage chamber lib via the tank, and is horizontally moved to the nip portion 203 located outside the main casing 11, thereby holding the nip. The portion 203 is replaced by the lower portion of the brim portion 6. As shown in Fig. 10(c), "once the box elevator 201 raises the tank transport mechanism 022, the grip portion 203 lifts the tank 2 from the holding table 18. As shown in Fig. 10 (d), the grab box transporting device 2 will shorten the tank transport mechanism 202 and carry the tank 2 into the tank storage chamber 11b. On the other hand, the box elevator 15 will shorten the shaft 17 by the elevation drive unit 16 to lower the holding table 18 onto the loading magazine 14. Then, the grab box transport apparatus 200 transports the tank 2 to the rotary rack 31 and delivers it to the designated rack plate 33. According to the first example, the grip portion 2 0 3 is hooked to the brim portion 6 Just fine. Therefore, the holding portion 203 does not need a mechanism that expands and contracts in the horizontal direction and the misalignment direction -33 - 1379373, and its construction and actuation are simple. As a result, cost reduction, space saving, and shortening of operation time can be achieved. Fig. 11 is a view showing a second example of the operation method. As shown in Fig. 11 (a), the box elevator 15 is extended by the elevation drive unit 16, so that the holding table 18 of the support box 2 is raised to a position lower than the reference height 2〇4. That is, the brim portion 6 is higher than the reference height 204. Simultaneously with the operation of the above-described box elevator 15, the tank elevator 20 1 raises and lowers the tank transport mechanism 202 and the grip portion 203 so that the height of the grip portion 203 can be equal to the height of the brim portion 6. The front shielding plate 13 is an open box loading/unloading port 12 (see Fig. 9). As shown in Fig. 11 (b), the tank transport mechanism 202 is extended, and the inside of the tank storage chamber Ub is carried into the carry-out port 12 via the tank, and is horizontally moved to the nip portion 203 located outside the main casing 11, thereby holding the nip. The portion 203 is changed to the lower portion of the brim portion 6. As shown in Fig. 11(c), when the box elevator 201 raises the tank transport mechanism 202, the grip portion 203 lifts the tank 2 from the holding table 18. As shown in Fig. 11 (d), the grab box transporting device 200 shortens the tank transport mechanism 202 and causes the tank 2 to be carried into the tank storage compartment lib. On the other hand, the box elevator 15 will shorten the shaft 17 by the elevation drive unit 16, and the holding table 18 will be lowered onto the loading magazine 14. Then, the grab box transporting device 200 transports the tank 2 to the rotary box frame 3 1, and delivers it to the designated rack plate 33. Compared with the first example, it is necessary to lower the movement of the tank 2 liter -34 - 1379373 by the tank elevator 201 between the height of the holding table 18 and the height of the tank loading/unloading port 12, but it is hereby In the second example, as long as the grip portion 203 is hooked to the brim portion 6. Therefore, the holding portion 203 does not need to be stretched in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and its construction and actuation are simple. As a result, cost reduction, space saving, and shortening of operation time can be achieved. 12 and 13 show a third example of the operation method. As shown in Fig. 12(a), the box elevator 15 extends the shaft 17 by the elevation drive unit 16, so that the holding table 18 of the support box 2 rises to a position where the brim portion 6 forms a reference height 2020. Simultaneously with the operation of the tank elevator 15, the tank elevator 201 raises and lowers the tank transport mechanism 202 and the gripping portion 203 so that the height of the grip portion 203 can be set to the height of the tank loading/unloading port 12. The front shielding plate 13 is an open box loading/unloading port 12 (see Fig. 9). As shown in Fig. 12 (b), once the tank transport mechanism 202 is submerged into the tank loading/unloading port 12, the grip portion 203 is positioned directly above the brim portion 6. As shown in Fig. 12(c), once the tank elevator 20 is lowered by the tank transport mechanism 202, the grip portion 203 is lowered to the brim portion 6. The clamping portion 203 is elongated in the horizontal direction. As shown in Fig. 12 (d), the grip portion 203 is shortened in the horizontal direction and is changed to the underside of the brim portion 6. As shown in Fig. 13 (a), once the tank elevator 201 raises the tank transport mechanism 022, the grip portion 2 〇3 lifts the tank 2 from above the holding table 18. The box elevator 201 is such that the tank transport mechanism 202 rises at least to a height above the bottom surface of the tank 2 from the reference height. -35- 1379373 As shown in Fig. 13 (b), the grab box transport apparatus 200 shortens the tank transport mechanism 202 and causes the tank 2 to be carried into the tank storage compartment lib. On the other hand, the box elevator 15 will shorten the shaft 17 by the elevation drive unit 16, and the holding table 18 will be lowered onto the loading magazine 14. Then, the grab box transporting device 200 transports the tank 2 to the rotary box frame 31 and delivers it to the designated rack plate 33. According to the third example, compared with the first example and the second example, it is necessary to move and move the tank 2 between the holding table 18 and the tank loading/unloading port 12 by the tank elevator 201. The time and the point of the mechanism that needs to be stretched in the horizontal direction of the nip portion 203 are inferior. However, since the nip portion 2〇3 does not need to be stretched and contracted in the vertical direction, the structure and actuation are simplified. As a result, cost reduction, space saving, and shortening of operation time can be achieved. According to the fourth embodiment, the box elevator and the grab box transporting device are provided in the loading cassette. Therefore, in the lifting operation of the holding table of the loading cassette, the grab box conveying device can carry the other box to the rotary box frame. Or other operations such as the box opener of the sub-frame. Therefore, the operating rate of the gripping box transporting device can be improved. Further, by dividing the box elevator and the grab box conveying device, the gripping box conveying device can be moved to the front of the box transfer position while the loading operation of the loading box is performed, and standby is performed. That is, it can be processed in parallel at the same time, so that the total transfer time can be shortened. Similarly, by simultaneously implementing the rise of the gripper box transport device and the lowering of the tank lifter, the transfer time of the tank can also be shortened. Further, the operation method of the fourth embodiment can be applied to the first embodiment of the first embodiment and the second embodiment. When applicable, the same effects as those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above can be obtained. Figure 14 is a side cross-sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of the unpacker. Fig. 15 is an exploded perspective view thereof. As shown in Fig. 14, one end of the nitrogen gas supply line 21A is connected to the upper surface of the sealed casing 21, and one end of the exhaust line 21B is connected to the lower wall of the sealed casing 21. The nitrogen gas supply line 21A blows the nitrogen gas 21C downward from the air outlet into the preload chamber 20. The exhaust line 21B exhausts the inside of the preload chamber 20. As shown in Figs. 14 and 15, in the upper end portion of the preload chamber 20, the Louver 21D is placed at a position facing the air outlet of the nitrogen gas supply line 21A. The grid 21D is a deflector that deflects the flow of the nitrogen gas 21C that is blown out from the outlet of the nitrogen gas supply line 21A. The grid 21D is inclined toward the door entrance 22 by which the grid 21D deflects the flow of nitrogen gas toward the door inlet and outlet 22. Next, the action and effect of the above-described unpacker will be described. Since the nitrogen gas supply line 21A is connected to the upper end of the preload chamber 20, the exhaust line 21B is disposed at the lower end, so that the nitrogen gas flow in the preload chamber 20 forms a downflow. The downstream nitrogen gas 2 1 C can effectively discharge foreign matter such as dust and organic matter in the pre-load chamber 20. That is, the downstream nitrogen gas 21C prevents foreign matter from adhering to the wafer 1 or intruding into the tank 2. The foreign matter in the preloading chamber 20 is provided with the moving table 25 provided in the preloading chamber 20, the closer 26, and the dust and organic matter of the surveying device 27. The grid 21D biases the nitrogen gas 21C toward the door inlet and outlet 22 and leads to the -37-1379373 tank 2. The flow of the nitrogen gas 21C into the tank 2 is to prevent the intrusion of foreign matter from the convection from the inside and the lower portion of the preload chamber 20. For example, the second method of operation can be implemented. When the tank 2 is carried out from the loading cassette 14 by the in-project conveying device, the nitrogen gas 21C is guided into the tank 2 by the grill 21D, whereby the nitrogen gas is used.  At 21C, it is mandatory to quiet (replace) the environment (air, foreign matter, etc.) in the tank 2. Then, the door 4 is mounted by the unpacker 23 at the wafer inlet and outlet 3 of the tank 2. According to this operation method, the nitrogen gas 21C can be further enclosed in the tank 2, so that contamination inside the tank 2 and formation of a natural oxide film can be prevented. For example, even if a nitrogen gas atmosphere is not formed in the sub-frame 40, the nitrogen gas 21C can be sealed in the tank 2. Further, when the wafer 1 in the tank 2 is subjected to mapping before the wafer door 3 is mounted with the door 4, it can be sent to the next stage in a state where the nitrogen gas 2 1 C is sealed in the surveying completion box 2. Further, the preferred embodiment of the unpacker can also be applied to the first to fourth embodiments. The aforementioned effects can be obtained when applicable. Figure 16 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the box elevator. .  Fig. 17 is a perspective view showing an operation state thereof. As shown in FIG. 16, the box lifter 15 is provided with a cover 300. The cover 3A includes a top plate 301 disposed horizontally and a vertical arrangement, and the upper end side is fixed to the front plate 302 of the front end side of the top plate 301. The top plate 301 is a shaft 17 that is fixed to the elevation drive unit 16. The front plate 302 is formed to cover the width of the loadable magazine 14 and the stroke of the shaft 17 (refer to FIG. 17 - 38-1379373. The lift drive 16 and the shaft 17 may be one, but preferably the predetermined one. Two or more intervals are provided. Thereby, the top plate 301 can be stably raised and lowered in a state in which the box is placed. In the top plate 301, the triangular escape holes 303 are opposed to the holding table 18 on the loading cassette 14.
