実施形態に係る基板処理装置1について図1~図3を参照し説明する。図1は、実施形態に係る基板処理装置1の一部を示す概略平面図である。図2は、実施形態に係る基板処理装置1の搬送部5を示す概略側面図である。図3は、図1のIII-III断面における概略図である。
<Overall configuration>
The substrate processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view showing a part of the substrate processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing a transport unit 5 of the substrate processing device 1 according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a cross section of FIG. 1 III-III.

基板処理装置1は、複数の塗布部2と、浮上ステージ3と、一対の保持部4と、一対の搬送部5と、一対の調整部6と、複数のパッド高さ調整部7と、一対の検出センサ8と、制御装置9とを備える。基板処理装置1は、例えば、LCD(液晶ディスプレイ)用のガラス基板S(以下、「基板S」と称する。)に処理液としてレジスト液を塗布する。 The substrate processing device 1 includes a plurality of coating units 2, a levitation stage 3, a pair of holding units 4, a pair of transport units 5, a pair of adjusting units 6, and a plurality of pad height adjusting units 7. The detection sensor 8 and the control device 9 are provided. The substrate processing apparatus 1 applies a resist liquid as a treatment liquid to, for example, a glass substrate S for an LCD (liquid crystal display) (hereinafter, referred to as “substrate S”).

ここでは、複数の塗布部2として、第1塗布部2A、および第2塗布部2Bの2つの塗布部2を備える一例について説明するが、塗布部2の数は、これに限られることはなく、3つ以上であってもよい。 Here, an example in which two coating portions 2 of the first coating portion 2A and the second coating portion 2B are provided as the plurality of coating portions 2 will be described, but the number of the coating portions 2 is not limited to this. It may be three or more.

第1塗布部2A、および第2塗布部2Bは、基板Sの搬送方向に沿って、すなわち、後方から前方に向けて、第1塗布部2A、第2塗布部2Bの順に配置される。 The first coating portion 2A and the second coating portion 2B are arranged in the order of the first coating portion 2A and the second coating portion 2B along the transport direction of the substrate S, that is, from the rear to the front.

第1塗布部2Aは、左右方向に沿って延びる。第1塗布部2Aは、門型の支持部材12Aに取り付けられる。第1塗布部2Aは、基板Sにレジスト液(処理液の一例)を塗布し、基板Sに塗布膜であるレジスト膜を形成する。なお、第1塗布部2Aは、前後方向に沿って移動可能なプライミング部(不図示)によって、第1塗布部2Aの吐出口におけるレジスト液の付着状態が整えられる。これにより、第1塗布部2Aは、レジスト液の吐出状態が安定化される。 The first coating portion 2A extends along the left-right direction. The first coating portion 2A is attached to the portal-shaped support member 12A. The first coating portion 2A applies a resist liquid (an example of a treatment liquid) to the substrate S to form a resist film as a coating film on the substrate S. The first coating portion 2A has a priming portion (not shown) that can move along the front-rear direction, so that the adhered state of the resist liquid at the discharge port of the first coating portion 2A is adjusted. As a result, the discharge state of the resist liquid is stabilized in the first coating portion 2A.

第2塗布部2Bは、左右方向に沿って延びる。第2塗布部2Bは、門型の支持部材12Bに取り付けられる。第2塗布部2Bは、基板Sにレジスト液(処理液の一例)を塗布し、基板Sにレジスト膜を形成する。なお、第2塗布部2Bは、第1塗布部2Aと同様にプライミング部(不図示)によってレジスト液の吐出状態が安定化される。 The second coating portion 2B extends along the left-right direction. The second coating portion 2B is attached to the portal-shaped support member 12B. The second coating portion 2B applies a resist liquid (an example of a treatment liquid) to the substrate S to form a resist film on the substrate S. Similar to the first coating unit 2A, the priming unit (not shown) stabilizes the discharge state of the resist liquid in the second coating unit 2B.

基板処理装置1は、例えば、第1塗布部2A、および第2塗布部2Bによって交互に基板Sにレジスト液を塗布することができる。これにより、基板処理装置1は、一方の塗布部2に対してプライミング部によってレジスト液の吐出状態を安定化させている間に、他方の塗布部2によって基板Sにレジスト液を塗布することができる。 The substrate processing apparatus 1 can alternately apply the resist liquid to the substrate S by, for example, the first coating unit 2A and the second coating unit 2B. As a result, the substrate processing apparatus 1 can apply the resist liquid to the substrate S by the other coating unit 2 while the priming unit stabilizes the discharge state of the resist liquid to one coating unit 2. can.

浮上ステージ3は、第1浮上ステージ3Aと、第2浮上ステージ3Bと、第3浮上ステージ3Cと、第4浮上ステージ3Dと、第5浮上ステージ3Eとを備える。 The levitation stage 3 includes a first levitation stage 3A, a second levitation stage 3B, a third levitation stage 3C, a fourth levitation stage 3D, and a fifth levitation stage 3E.

各浮上ステージ3A~3Eは、基板Sの搬送方向に沿って、すなわち、後方から前方に向けて、第1浮上ステージ3A、第2浮上ステージ3B、第3浮上ステージ3C、第4浮上ステージ3D、第5浮上ステージ3Eの順に配置される。各浮上ステージ3A~3Eは、架台13上に配置される。 Each levitation stage 3A to 3E has a first levitation stage 3A, a second levitation stage 3B, a third levitation stage 3C, a fourth levitation stage 3D, along the transport direction of the substrate S, that is, from the rear to the front. The fifth levitation stage 3E is arranged in this order. Each levitation stage 3A to 3E is arranged on the gantry 13.

第1浮上ステージ3Aは、多数の噴出口(不図示)を有する。第1浮上ステージ3Aは、圧縮された空気を噴出口から基板Sの下面に向けて吹き付け、基板Sに対して上方へ作用する力(以下、浮上力と称する。)を与える。第1浮上ステージ3Aは、浮上力を与えることで、保持部4に保持された基板Sの浮上高を調整する。具体的には、第1浮上ステージ3Aは、基板Sの浮上高を200~2000μmの範囲内で安定するよう調整する。 The first levitation stage 3A has a large number of spouts (not shown). The first levitation stage 3A blows compressed air from the ejection port toward the lower surface of the substrate S, and applies a force acting upward on the substrate S (hereinafter, referred to as levitation force). The first levitation stage 3A adjusts the levitation height of the substrate S held by the holding portion 4 by applying a levitation force. Specifically, the first levitation stage 3A adjusts the levitation height of the substrate S so as to be stable within the range of 200 to 2000 μm.

第2浮上ステージ3Bは、第1塗布部2Aの下方に配置される。第2浮上ステージ3Bは、多数の噴出口(不図示)、および多数の吸引口(不図示)を有する。第2浮上ステージ3Bは、圧縮された空気を噴出口から基板Sの下面に向けて吹き付け、基板Sに浮上力を与える。また、第2浮上ステージ3Bは、吸引口から、基板Sとの間に存在する空気を吸引する。これにより、第2浮上ステージ3Bは、基板Sの浮上高を高精度に調整することができる。具体的には、第2浮上ステージ3Bは、基板Sの浮上高を30~60μmの範囲内で安定するよう高精度に調整する。 The second levitation stage 3B is arranged below the first coating portion 2A. The second levitation stage 3B has a large number of spouts (not shown) and a large number of suction ports (not shown). The second levitation stage 3B blows compressed air from the ejection port toward the lower surface of the substrate S to apply a levitation force to the substrate S. Further, the second levitation stage 3B sucks the air existing between the suction port and the substrate S from the suction port. As a result, the second levitation stage 3B can adjust the levitation height of the substrate S with high accuracy. Specifically, the second levitation stage 3B adjusts the levitation height of the substrate S with high accuracy so as to be stable within the range of 30 to 60 μm.

第3浮上ステージ3C、および第5浮上ステージ3Eの構成は、第1浮上ステージ3Aと同じであり、詳しい説明は省略する。また、第4浮上ステージ3Dは、第2塗布部2Bの下方に配置される。第4浮上ステージ3Dの構成は、第2浮上ステージ3Bと同じであり、詳しい説明は省略する。 The configurations of the third levitation stage 3C and the fifth levitation stage 3E are the same as those of the first levitation stage 3A, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, the fourth levitation stage 3D is arranged below the second coating portion 2B. The configuration of the fourth levitation stage 3D is the same as that of the second levitation stage 3B, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

保持部4は、左右方向に並んで一対設けられる。保持部4は、左右方向において、浮上ステージ3を挟むように設けられる。保持部4は、パッド支持部材40と、複数の吸着パッド41と、複数のダミーパッド42とを備える。 A pair of holding portions 4 are provided side by side in the left-right direction. The holding portion 4 is provided so as to sandwich the levitation stage 3 in the left-right direction. The holding portion 4 includes a pad support member 40, a plurality of suction pads 41, and a plurality of dummy pads 42.

パッド支持部材40は、前後方向に沿って延びる板状、または棒状の部材であり、上下方向に変形可能に形成される。パッド支持部材40には、浮上ステージ3側の側面に吸着パッド41が取り付けられる。また、パッド支持部材40には、浮上ステージ3側とは反対側の側面にダミーパッド42が取り付けられる。 The pad support member 40 is a plate-shaped or rod-shaped member extending along the front-rear direction, and is formed so as to be deformable in the vertical direction. A suction pad 41 is attached to the pad support member 40 on the side surface on the levitation stage 3 side. Further, a dummy pad 42 is attached to the pad support member 40 on the side surface opposite to the levitation stage 3 side.

パッド支持部材40は、略L字状のジョイント部材14、パッド高さ調整部7、および調整部6の昇降支持部材60を介して搬送部5のガイド部材51に接続される。パッド支持部材40の下端には、前後方向に沿って複数のジョイント部材14が並んで接続される。 The pad support member 40 is connected to the guide member 51 of the transport portion 5 via a substantially L-shaped joint member 14, a pad height adjusting portion 7, and an elevating support member 60 of the adjusting portion 6. A plurality of joint members 14 are connected side by side to the lower end of the pad support member 40 along the front-rear direction.

パッド支持部材40は、調整部6によって上下方向の高さを変更可能である。また、パッド支持部材40は、調整部6によって前後方向の傾きを変更可能である。さらに、パッド支持部材40は、各パッド高さ調整部7によって各パッド高さ調整部7付近の高さを変更可能である。 The height of the pad support member 40 can be changed in the vertical direction by the adjusting portion 6. Further, the pad support member 40 can change its inclination in the front-rear direction by the adjusting portion 6. Further, the pad support member 40 can change the height in the vicinity of each pad height adjusting portion 7 by each pad height adjusting portion 7.

吸着パッド41は、前後方向に並んで配置される。ここでは、6つの吸着パッド41が前後方向に並んで配置される一例を示すが、吸着パッド41の数はこれに限られることはない。各吸着パッド41は、同一の高さとなるように、パッド支持部材40に取り付けられる。吸着パッド41には、上面側に複数の吸着口が形成される。吸着パッド41は、吸着口によって基板Sの下面を吸着する。 The suction pads 41 are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction. Here, an example is shown in which six suction pads 41 are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction, but the number of suction pads 41 is not limited to this. Each suction pad 41 is attached to the pad support member 40 so as to have the same height. The suction pad 41 is formed with a plurality of suction ports on the upper surface side. The suction pad 41 sucks the lower surface of the substrate S by the suction port.

ダミーパッド42は、前後方向に並んで配置される。ここでは、6つのダミーパッド42が前後方向に並んで配置される一例を示すが、ダミーパッド42の数はこれに限られることはない。例えば、ダミーパッド42は、前後方向における位置、および高さが吸着パッド41と同じになるようにパッド支持部材40に取り付けられる。 The dummy pads 42 are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction. Here, an example is shown in which six dummy pads 42 are arranged side by side in the front-rear direction, but the number of dummy pads 42 is not limited to this. For example, the dummy pad 42 is attached to the pad support member 40 so that the position and height in the front-rear direction are the same as those of the suction pad 41.

制御部92は、CPUがROMに記憶されたプログラムを、RAMを作業領域として使用して実行することにより機能する複数の処理部を備える。具体的には、制御部92は、調整量算出部95と、制御信号生成部96とを備える。 The control unit 92 includes a plurality of processing units that function by the CPU executing the program stored in the ROM by using the RAM as a work area. Specifically, the control unit 92 includes an adjustment amount calculation unit 95 and a control signal generation unit 96.

なお、上記プログラムは、コンピュータによって読み取り可能な記録媒体に記録されていたものであって、記録媒体から制御装置9の記憶部93にインストールされたものであってもよい。コンピュータによって読み取り可能な記録媒体としては、例えばハードディスク(HD)、フレキシブルディスク(FD)、コンパクトディスク(CD)、マグネットオプティカルディスク(MO)、メモリカードなどがある。また、制御部92が備える各処理部は、それぞれ一部または全部がASIC(Application Specific Integrated Circuit)やFPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)等のハードウェアで構成されてもよい。 The above program may be recorded on a recording medium readable by a computer, and may be installed from the recording medium in the storage unit 93 of the control device 9. Recording media that can be read by a computer include, for example, a hard disk (HD), a flexible disk (FD), a compact disk (CD), a magnet optical disk (MO), a memory card, and the like. Further, each processing unit included in the control unit 92 may be partially or wholly composed of hardware such as an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array).

調整量算出部95は、第2塗布部2Bの直下において、基板Sの高さを所定範囲内とするための昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量を算出する。 The adjustment amount calculation unit 95 calculates the adjustment amount of the elevating actuator 61 for keeping the height of the substrate S within a predetermined range directly under the second coating unit 2B.

具体的には、調整量算出部95は、第2塗布部2Bの直下に基板Sが到達すると、基板Sの位置と、第2塗布部2Bの直下における基板Sの高さとを紐付けたデータを生成する。なお、基板Sの高さは、検出センサ8によって検出されたダミーパッド42の高さに基づいて算出される。 Specifically, when the substrate S reaches directly under the second coating portion 2B, the adjustment amount calculation unit 95 links the position of the substrate S with the height of the substrate S directly under the second coating portion 2B. To generate. The height of the substrate S is calculated based on the height of the dummy pad 42 detected by the detection sensor 8.

調整量算出部95は、生成したデータに対して、第2塗布部2Bの直下で基板Sの高さが所定範囲内となる保持部4の傾き、すなわち傾動角を算出し、傾動角を実現する各昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量を算出する。調整量算出部95は、基板Sの位置に対し、各昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量を算出する。 The adjustment amount calculation unit 95 calculates the tilt of the holding unit 4, that is, the tilt angle, in which the height of the substrate S is within a predetermined range directly under the second coating unit 2B with respect to the generated data, and realizes the tilt angle. The adjustment amount of each elevating actuator 61 is calculated. The adjustment amount calculation unit 95 calculates the adjustment amount of each elevating actuator 61 with respect to the position of the substrate S.

なお、基板処理装置1では、保持部4を傾動させて、第2塗布部2Bの直下における基板Sの高さを調整している。これは、昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量、すなわち昇降アクチュエータ61による保持部4の上下方向の変化量に対する基板Sの高さの変化量を小さくし、基板Sの高さを精度良く調整するためである。基板処理装置1は、パッド高さ調整部7よりも精度が低い昇降アクチュエータ61を用いて、パッド高さ調整部7と同様に高い精度で基板Sの高さを調整することができる。 In the substrate processing apparatus 1, the holding portion 4 is tilted to adjust the height of the substrate S directly under the second coating portion 2B. This is to reduce the adjustment amount of the elevating actuator 61, that is, the amount of change in the height of the substrate S with respect to the amount of change in the vertical direction of the holding portion 4 by the elevating actuator 61, and to adjust the height of the substrate S with high accuracy. .. The substrate processing device 1 can adjust the height of the substrate S with high accuracy as in the pad height adjusting unit 7 by using the elevating actuator 61 having a lower accuracy than the pad height adjusting unit 7.

調整量算出部95は、算出した各昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量を記憶部93に記憶させる。なお、各昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量は、パッド高さ調整部7によって第1塗布部2Aの直下における基板Sの高さが調整された所定のタイミングで算出され、記憶部93に記憶される。所定のタイミングは、例えば、基板処理装置1において、基板Sにレジスト膜の塗布を開始する場合や、メンテナンスが行われた場合である。 The adjustment amount calculation unit 95 stores the calculated adjustment amount of each elevating actuator 61 in the storage unit 93. The adjustment amount of each elevating actuator 61 is calculated at a predetermined timing when the height of the substrate S directly under the first coating unit 2A is adjusted by the pad height adjusting unit 7, and is stored in the storage unit 93. The predetermined timing is, for example, when the substrate processing apparatus 1 starts coating the resist film on the substrate S or when maintenance is performed.

制御信号生成部96は、第2塗布部2Bによって基板Sにレジスト膜を塗布する場合に、基板Sの位置に対する各昇降アクチュエータ61の調整量を記憶部93から読み出し、各昇降アクチュエータ61を制御する信号を生成する。生成された信号は、出力部91から調整部6の各昇降アクチュエータ61に送信され、各昇降アクチュエータ61により保持部4の傾きが調整される。 When the resist film is applied to the substrate S by the second coating unit 2B, the control signal generation unit 96 reads the adjustment amount of each elevating actuator 61 with respect to the position of the substrate S from the storage unit 93 and controls each elevating actuator 61. Generate a signal. The generated signal is transmitted from the output unit 91 to each elevating actuator 61 of the adjusting unit 6, and the inclination of the holding unit 4 is adjusted by each elevating actuator 61.

このように、制御部92は、第2塗布部2B(塗布部の一例)の直下における保持部4の傾きを調整部6によって制御する。具体的には、制御部92は、複数のパッド高さ調整部7によって複数の吸着パッド41の高さが調整された状態で、第2塗布部2B(所定塗布部とは異なる塗布部の一例)の直下における保持部4の傾きを調整部6によって制御する。また、制御部92は、検出センサ8によって検出され、記憶部93に記憶された基板Sの高さに基づいて、保持部4の傾きを調整部6によって制御する。 In this way, the control unit 92 controls the inclination of the holding unit 4 directly under the second coating unit 2B (an example of the coating unit) by the adjusting unit 6. Specifically, the control unit 92 is an example of the second coating unit 2B (an example of a coating unit different from the predetermined coating unit) in a state where the heights of the plurality of suction pads 41 are adjusted by the plurality of pad height adjusting units 7. ) Is controlled by the adjusting unit 6 at an inclination of the holding unit 4. Further, the control unit 92 controls the inclination of the holding unit 4 by the adjusting unit 6 based on the height of the substrate S detected by the detection sensor 8 and stored in the storage unit 93.

記憶部93は、例えば、RAM、フラッシュメモリ(Flash Memory)等の半導体メモリ素子、またはハードディスク、光ディスク等の記憶装置によって実現される。 The storage unit 93 is realized by, for example, a semiconductor memory element such as a RAM or a flash memory, or a storage device such as a hard disk or an optical disk.
