Then, (a) based on Fig. 2, Fig. 3, (b) illustrate the pellet type substrate conveyance system of present embodiment in further detail.Fig. 2 is the skeleton diagram of the first pallet 106 of present embodiment.In addition, (a) of Fig. 3 is the summary side elevation of the execution mode before the first pallet 106 of present embodiment and the second pallet 107 are installed, the skeleton diagram of (when installation base plate) first pallet 106 and the second pallet 107 when (b) of Fig. 3 is conveying substrate.
The first pallet 106 of present embodiment is for example to keep G6 for 1800[mm] × 1500[mm] the more than size such substrate 102 of large substrate and integrated with the second pallet 107, and carry and process the pallet of this substrate 102 for substrate 102 being remained to vertical one side on one side.In the present embodiment, taking substrate 102 as giant display glass substrate, carry out film forming processing by (cathode) sputtering (sputtering).
First, utilize substrate conveyer robot portion 103, substrate 102 is moved the level of being placed on and is positioned on the first pallet 106 in mounting table 105.As shown in Fig. 3 (b), substrate 102 be to non-treated side 306 (following, be called a side that not implementing in the surface of substrate 102 process, be called by (cathode) sputtering carry out film forming while processing not by the rear side of the substrate 102 of film forming) posture that tilts a little of side.Now, for substrate 102 is stably maintained on the first pallet 106, be provided with the pressing mechanism that substrate 102 is exerted pressure.In the present embodiment, as pressing mechanism, be provided with locating retainer 202.Specifically describe, on the first pallet 106, be provided as the substrate retaining pin 201 of multiple convex members, with the mode supporting substrates 102 at the non-treated side 306 of substrate retaining pin 201 upper support.Substrate retaining pin 201 is for example resin.And, utilize and be arranged at locating retainer 202 on the bottom of the first pallet 106 and at least either party of sidepiece, press substrate 102 end face substrate 102 is positioned.
Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram as the locating retainer 202 of an example of the pressing mechanism of present embodiment.
In Fig. 5, locating retainer 202 is located at the outside of the substrate configuring area 111 on the first pallet 106, has the elastomer 202b of support plate 202a, such as spring etc., resin 202c and handle 202d as press section.Support plate 202a is fixed on the first pallet 106, and one end of elastomer 202b is connected with this support plate 202a.The other end of elastomer 202b is connected with resin 202c, and this resin 202c is unfixing with respect to the first pallet 106, can on this first pallet 106, slide.Therefore, in the situation that elastomer 202b is out of shape, utilize the restoring force of this elastomer 202b, the end face 202e of resin 202c and this resin 202c can move to arrow label orientation P.In addition, be provided with handle 202d on resin 202c, user utilizes this handle 202d, can make resin 202c and end face 202e to arrow label orientation P displacement.Like this, as the locating retainer 202 of pressing mechanism, resin 202c and end face 202e can be mobile with respect to the outside of the first pallet 106 (the arrow label orientation Q of Fig. 5) and inner side (the arrow label orientation R of Fig. 5), and utilize resin 202c (being end face 202e) to press the end face 102a of substrate 102.
In the present embodiment, on substrate configuring area 111, when placement substrate 102, the state that becomes shortening with elastomer 202b arranges support plate 202a.Thus, on substrate configuring area 111 when placement substrate 102, the restoring force that the elastomer 202b shortening wants to revert to original state plays a role, resin 202c (end face 202e) can towards the arrow label orientation R of Fig. 5 press the end face 102a of substrate 102.As shown in Figure 2, to be provided with a pair of locating retainer 202 across the mode of substrate configuring area, utilize this pair of locating retainer 202, make substrate 102 bear pressure from the both sides of relative end face 102c.Therefore, locating retainer 202 utilizations are applied to the pressure on end face 102a and keep substrate 102.
In such formation, the in the situation that substrate 102 being set on the first pallet 106, user to the handle 202d effect of each locating retainer 202 when the power of arrow label orientation Q, resin 202c moves along arrow label orientation Q, between substrate configuring area 111 and resin 202c, forms space K.Want under the effect of the restoring force playing a role while reverting to original state at the elastomer 202b shortening, resin 202c moves to arrow label orientation R, and this space K disappears.That is, in the time that the end face 202e of resin 202c and the end 111a of substrate configuring area 111 align (, as shown in Figure 5, while keeping substrate 102 by resin 202c), above-mentioned space K disappears.Thus, as shown in Figure 6, for example, in the time substrate 102 being set to the first pallet 106 etc., by resin 202c is moved to arrow label orientation Q, the surplus (margin) corresponding with above-mentioned space K can be set on substrate configuring area 111.
In the present embodiment, because the end 111a that is positioned at substrate configuring area 111 at the end face 202e of resin 202c, the end face 102a of substrate 102 is also positioned at above-mentioned end 111a, substrate 102 is positioned on substrate configuring area 111 exactly.Thus, for example, substrate 102 being arranged on the first pallet 106 under the state shown in Fig. 6, even if be positioned at the mode of space K is loaded into substrate 102 in substrate retaining pin 201 with end face 102a, under the effect of restoring force of the elastomer 202b shortening, resin 202 is moved towards arrow label orientation R, the end face 202e of resin 202c contacts with the end face 102a being present in the K of space, and this end face 102a (being substrate 102) is further to arrow label orientation R side shifting.And as shown in Figure 5, in the time that end face 202e, end face 102a align with the end 111a of substrate configuring area 111, resin 202c is static, substrate 102 is configured on substrate configuring area 111 exactly.
Like this, in the present embodiment, even if substrate 102 is not loaded on substrate configuring area 111 exactly, return in the process of original position at resin 202c, under the effect of restoring force of the elastomer 202b shortening, resin 202c moves, thereby also substrate 102 automatically can be positioned at accurately on position.,, can realize accurately location and substrate 102 is remained on to this accurately on position of substrate 102 this end face 102a a series of action producing of exerting pressure by the resin 202c (end face 202e) that contacts with the end face 102a of substrate 102.
Thus, even substrate 102 is loaded on the first pallet 106 with lower precision, the region (being substrate configuring area 111) that locating retainer 202 also can make substrate 102 move to this substrate 102 should to be positioned at, and on this position, exert pressure with respect to substrate 102 and keep this substrate 102.Thus, even in the case of substrate conveyer robot portion 103, not high to the configuration precision of the first pallet 106 placement substrates, also accurate placement substrate 102, remains on this accurately on position of configuration by substrate 102.
In addition, in the present embodiment, because be not by being embedded in the structure that substrate is set on pallet as in the past, the end face 102a of substrate 102 is exerted pressure and keeps substrate 102 as the locating retainer 202 of above-mentioned pressing mechanism but utilize, so the first pallet 106 can keep substrate 102 in all-the-time stable ground.Thus, even thereby accelerate pallet 110 transporting velocity or increase substrate 102 weight substrate 102 inertia increase, also can reduce substrate 102 skew, come off.In addition,, due to the existence of elastomer 202b, can make interface between the end face 202e of resin 202c and the end face of the end face 102a of substrate 102 along flexibly displacement of arrow label orientation P.Thus, large even if the vibration of the pallet 110 in carrying becomes, also can utilize the distortion of elastomer 202b to relax this vibration, can reduce the breakage of substrate.
In addition, in the present embodiment, important is, utilizes pressing mechanism, the substrate 102 being temporarily configured on the first pallet 106 is positioned on substrate configuring area 111 exactly, and applies the pressure of regulation to being positioned in the end face 102a of the substrate 102 on this substrate configuring area 111.As long as can bring into play such effect, pressing mechanism is just not limited to above-mentioned locating retainer 202.For example, also can in locating retainer 202, adopt the structure (for example, the driving mechanisms such as driver are set, utilize the structure of this driving mechanism of control device control etc.) of utilizing electromagnetic drive mechanism can make resin 202c to move.
Substrate retaining pin 201 has the function that can keep with the little state of contact area substrate 102, and for example, the in the situation that of heated substrates 102, preferably in vacuum, gas discharge rate is few.In this case, substrate retaining pin 201 is little with the contact area of substrate 102, so it is few to be transmitted to the loss of the heat on the first pallet 106, therefore can improve the uniformity of base plate heating.
Both can heat substrate 102 from the treated side side of substrate 102, also can heat substrate 102 from non-treated side 306 sides of substrate 102, in the case of from non-treated side 306 sides with not shown heater block heated substrates 106, as diagram in Fig. 2, preferably on the first pallet 106, be formed with peristome 210.
In addition, as the resin that forms the substrate retaining pin 201 that contacts with substrate 102, for example, can use the thermal endurances such as PEEK (polyether-ether-ketone, polyether ether ketone) resin, PI (polyimides, Polyimide) resin, resin that drug resistance is high.
In addition, as an example of the shape of substrate retaining pin 201, cylindric for height 1cm, diameter 2cm, but be not limited thereto.As the number that is configured in the substrate retaining pin 201 on the first pallet 106, normally for the more than 4 of four angles of supporting substrates 102, decide number but do not hinder to carry to wait according to the size of handled substrate 102 etc.
In the present embodiment, as mentioned above, in Fig. 2, above-mentioned locating retainer 202 applies to the end face 102a of substrate 102 pressure that does not produce deformation extent in location, can reduce substrate 102 is moved to the desired precision of when mounting substrate conveyer robot portion 103 to the first pallet 106, and can make the displacement of the substrate 102 that substrate 102 causes with respect to the vibration when carrying return to the initial position of regulation.
In addition, contact portion locating retainer 202 and end face 102a substrate 102 is used resin 202c, and combined elastic body 202b exerts pressure to substrate 102, not fully be fixed the damage of the substrate 102 that the vibration therefore can suppress because of conveying time etc. causes.
In addition the substrate 102 that causes of vibration that, the first pallet 106 also can have for suppressing when carrying prevents plate 203 to the displacement substrate of treated side direction displacement.Utilize this displacement substrate to prevent plate 203, be suppressed at substrate 102 in conveying and, to the displacement of treated side direction, suppress substrate 102 breakages, come off.
And displacement substrate prevents that plate 203 from also can alleviate this substrate 102 of producing because of substrate 102 displacements and the friction of the first pallet 106 simultaneously, can suppress the generation of the particulate that the quality after film forming is impacted.
