Abstract:
본 발명은 피처리 기판이 대형이어도, 승강 핀에 의해 피처리 기판을 확실하게 지지하면서 피처리 기판의 변형을 효과적으로 억지하는 것이 가능한 기판 탑재 기구에 관한 것이다. 기판 탑재 기구는, 가요성을 갖는 기판(G)을 탑재하는 탑재대로서의 서셉터(4)와, 서셉터(4)의 탑재면에 대하여 돌몰 가능하게 마련되고, 기판(G)의 주연부 및 중앙부를 각각 지지해서 서셉터(4)의 상방의 주고받음을 실행하는 주고받음 위치와 서셉터(4)상의 탑재 위치 사이에서 승강시키는 리프터 핀(8a, 8b)과, 리프터 핀(8a, 8b)을 구동시키는 구동 기구로서의 구동부(9a, 9b)를 구비하고, 구동부(9a, 9b)는, 기판(G)을 승강시킬 때에, 리프터 핀(8a)을 리프터 핀(8b)보다도 높게 돌출시켜서, 기판(G)이 아래로 볼록형상으로 휜 상태에서 리프터 핀(8a, 8b)에 의해 안정적으로 지지되도록 한다.
Abstract:
A substrate mounting unit is provided to restrain generation of process nonuniformity by controlling lifting of a substrate to be processed with respect to a mounting unit. A flexible substrate(G) to be processed is mounted on a mounting unit. A plurality of lifter pins(8a,8b) are prepared in a manner that appears and disappears with respect to a mounting surface of the mounting unit, supporting the substrate while moving up/down the substrate between a loading/unloading position of the substrate on the mounting unit and a mounting position on the mounting unit. A driving unit(9a,9b) drives the lifter pins. The plurality of lifter pins include a first lifter pin for supporting the main circumference of the substrate and a second lifter pin for supporting the center part of the substrate. When the substrate is elevated, the driving unit protrudes the first lifter pin higher than the second lifter pin so that the substrate is stably supported while the substrate is bent as a downward convex shape. The driving unit can independently drive the first and second lifter pins.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A substrate loading tool and a control method thereof, and a substrate processing apparatus and a storage media are provided to uniformly process a substrate by not including a lifter of a pin shape on the center part of a susceptor. CONSTITUTION: A first lifter is prepared in the inner side of a loading table which can project and supports external periphery portion of a substrate to be treated. A second lifter(8b1) supports the center part of the substrate to be treated instead of the location in which the first lifter supports the substrate to be treated. A circular arm(8d) circles from the upper side of the outside the loading table to the upper side of a loading surface of the loading table by the rotation of a shaft. A flexible arm(8g) is extended from the outer side of the first lifter to the inner side of the first lifter as a horizontal direction.
Abstract:
A substrate loading mechanism, a substrate transfer method, a substrate processing apparatus and a computer readable storage medium are provided to effectively suppress the deformation of the processed substrate by tightly supporting the processed substrate using a lift pin. The processed substrate having the flexibility is mounted on a main chuck(4). A plurality of lift pins support and lift the processed substrate. The substrate mount tool comprises drive machineries(9a,9b) for running the lift pin. A plurality of lift pins comprises the first lift pin(8a) and the second lift pin(8b). The drive machinery steadily supports the processed substrate in the state that the processed substrate bends below with the convex profile. A controller controls the drive of the first and the second lift pins by the drive machinery.
Abstract:
The present invention provides installation structure which can effectively prevent problems of ceramic parts caused by heat when used for a processing apparatus. A gas inflow adaptor (10A) comprises: an adaptor main body (121) with a hollow shape; and a fixing part (122) for fixing the adaptor main body (121) to a first part wall (6A). The fixing part (122) includes: a holder (123) for holding an upper flange (121a) of the adaptor main body (121); a ring shape male screw (124) which is a first fastening member; a nut (125) which is a second fastening member; and a spacer (126) fixed to the top of the first part wall (6A) around the adaptor main body (121). While heated, the holder (123) thermally expands in the reverse direction to the nut (125) and the spacer (126), and functions as a stress relaxation means to relieve the stress of the adaptor main body (121).
