Description

Substrate board treatment
Technical field
The present invention relates to the substrate board treatment in process chamber to processing such as substrate embodiment such as ion implantings.
Background technology
As conventional substrate board treatment, as Patent Document 1, there are following devices:The device possesses:Processing Room, irradiates ion beam to the substrate erected in the chamber;And lock chamber (prechamber), set with process chamber adjoining Put, substrate was fallen and houses substrate for the state of level.The substrate board treatment is by using the branch being arranged in process chamber Frame travel mechanism alternately reciprocates be arranged in process chamber two in flat support (platen), to being maintained at support On substrate carry out ion implanting.
Specifically illustrate, the support travel mechanism is made up of linear movement mechanism and rotating mechanism, it is described linear Motion is constituted by the ball-screw that is arranged in process chamber and with the ball nut that the ball-screw is threadedly coupled, described turn Motivation structure makes support be rotated between horizontality and raised state.
Support supporting arm be L-shaped, the root arm for possessing on ball nut and vertically extending with ball-screw, with And the supporting arm extended parallel to from the front end of the root arm with ball-screw, the front end of the support supporting arm is provided with The lateral margin of the support.In addition, stent cover and the face that is formed by the root arm and supporting arm are in approximately the same plane.
By this structure, substrate is moved from lock chamber to process chamber in such a way.
First, even if also support turns into horizontal making support supporting arm turn into the state fallen by the rotating mechanism After state, support is entered the lock chamber by the linear movement mechanism, the substrate in horizontality is maintained on support. Then, retreat the support for maintaining substrate and be drawn off processing interior.Then, branch is made by using the rotating mechanism Frame supporting arm is rotated and erected, and the substrate for making support and being maintained on the support is erected.Then, the state of the posture is being kept Under, substrate is moved to the ion beam irradiation region of irradiation ion beam by the linear movement mechanism.Ion is made illuminated Substrate after beam is returned in lock chamber with the step opposite with the step.
It was found from the structure, the lateral margin (that is, the ora terminalis vertical with the moving direction moved by ball-screw) of support The front end of support supporting arm is supported in a cantilever fashion.In addition, the ball nut of the support supporting arm is supported, in the branch It is located at the outside of support on the moving direction of frame.
But, the size of glass substrate maximizes in recent years, reached the tenth generation (substrate size 2850mm × Degree 3050mm).Furthermore, it is necessary to which the maximization met with substrate independently improves wanting for the productivity ratio of substrate board treatment Ask.
Think, the substrate board treatment of described patent document 1 due to be by the mode of overlapping conveying above and below two substrates, So can not only reduce plant bulk, productivity ratio can also be improved.
But, in the conventional structure, because the maximization because of substrate causes to keep the support of substrate also to maximize, So the problem of producing for example following.
(1) in conventional structure, between lock chamber and process chamber, side changes it in the way of not in midway handing-over substrate Posture side is kept and moving substrate with single support, therefore the supporting structure of support becomes complicated and reluctantly (such as in order to be able to will In substrate insertion lock chamber, support supporting arm is formed as into the isometric shape of foregoing L-shaped, and with the support supporting arm with cantilever Mode supports the lateral margin of support), thus, due to the maximizing of substrate and support, heavyization, so becoming often in the support The excessive power of the upper effect such as described linear movement mechanism and rotating mechanism of supporting arm and the mobile support supporting arm.
Specifically illustrate, due to the ball nut by L-shaped brackets supporting arm in the outer of support moving direction Side bearing support, if so support maximizes and weight increase, no matter support is to erect posture or flat-hand position Free position in the case of, all there are following problems:Big torque can be always acted on ball nut, the supporting of support becomes not It is stable, the flatness of the movement of ball nut can be damaged.
(2) have to use can make the support after maximization enter lock chamber structure, it is necessary to increase the volume of lock chamber.
(3) because lock chamber is used to that without process chamber is returned to air atmosphere substrate can be picked and placeed between process chamber and air, So being changed into air atmosphere from vacuum atmosphere in exchange substrate time gating room or being changed into vacuum atmosphere from air atmosphere.As described above, If the volume of lock chamber becomes big, the meeting for switching the time that the atmosphere of lock chamber is spent becomes many.

The content of the invention
Therefore, the problem of present invention is for solving described and the invention made, the main object of the present invention are to provide one Substrate board treatment is planted, it can stably support the support maximized, and can prevent from leading because of the maximization of support The high capacity of lock chamber is caused, and the time for the atmosphere for switching the lock chamber can be shortened.
That is, the present invention provides a kind of substrate board treatment, and it includes:Process chamber, in the chamber under vacuum atmosphere Handle substrate;Lock chamber, houses the substrate, is switched to air atmosphere or vacuum atmosphere;Conveying chamber, is arranged on the process chamber Between the lock chamber, the substrate is conveyed between the process chamber and the lock chamber under vacuum atmosphere;Two supports, if Put in the process chamber, substrate is kept respectively;Support travel mechanism, at least makes described two supports receive from the conveying Moved between the receiving position for the substrate that room conveying comes and the processing position of the processing substrate, and in the received bit Putting makes described two supports turn into the state being arranged above and below;And substrate carrying mechanism, it is arranged in the conveying chamber, will houses The substrate in the lock chamber is uniformly transported to described two positioned at the receiving position with the state being arranged above and below Frame, the support travel mechanism includes:Linear movement mechanism, making described two supports, edge is set in regulation by each support respectively Axial direction on mobile route movement different from each other;And rotating mechanism, make described two supports around the defined axial direction Rotate, the position of two ends of the linear movement mechanism on the defined axial direction than the support more in the inner part supports institute State support.
In a word, the substrate board treatment be not as in the past by support and support supporting arm from lock chamber to process chamber The conveying substrate in the way of not joining in way, but the substrate carrying mechanism set by centre, the base that will be housed in lock chamber Plate is transported on the support set in the process chamber.
Therefore, as long as substrate carrying mechanism with possessing the posture that the does not change substrate conveying substrate between lock chamber and conveying chamber Function, its structure certainly can simply and miniaturization.Furthermore it is possible to make to take out substrate from lock chamber or substrate is put into lock The simple in construction and miniaturization of the substrate carrying mechanism of room, so can be suppressed to Min., example by the high capacity of lock chamber If shortening the switching time of the atmosphere of lock chamber.
On the other hand, as long as support travel mechanism makes support only in processing indoor moving, moved as a result, constituting support The linear movement mechanism of motivation structure, the position supporting support of the two ends of the support on than the axial direction more in the inner part. This, " the position supporting support of the two ends of the support on than the axial direction more in the inner part " refers to, is set in linear movement mechanism On support supporting portion at least a portion, positioned at than support two ends substantially more in the inner part, i.e. positioned at can obtain and this Inner side (a little supporting portion be located at outside can also) in the range of invention same effect.Therefore, according to this configuration, it can make The supporting portion is as close possible to support, so as to stably support support.
Preferably, the rotating mechanism makes described two supports separately rotate.
Compared in the past that make the structure that two supports and linear movement mechanism are rotated together, if this make two The structure that support is separately rotated, then can reduce driving force.This structure especially has in the case of support has maximized Effect.
Preferably, the rotating mechanism makes the substrate for example as horizontality by making the holder pivots Lodging location and for example as being carried out between the set-up positions of plumbness in posture changing, the rotary shaft of described two supports Under stagger so that when the support for making a side is in the lodging location, the support of one not with the support of the opposing party Rotary shaft is interfered.
In this mode, can be eliminated by simple structure can in the case where making two supports separately rotate The interference of the rotary shaft of the support of a side and the support of the opposing party caused by energy.
Stagger above and below rotary shaft due to making two supports, although so for example not having two supports positioned at lodging location Wrong holding substrate of turning up the soil, but if by described holder pivots to set-up positions, then the position of substrate can also stagger.Therefore, Preferably, the substrate board treatment also includes substrate position correction mechanism, and the substrate position correction mechanism makes described one When the position of the above-below direction of substrate when the support of side is in set-up positions is in set-up positions with the support of described the opposing party Substrate above-below direction position consistency.
In this mode, the substrate being maintained on the support of a side and the substrate being maintained on the support of the opposing party can be made The above-below direction such as ion implanting processing position it is consistent.
Preferably, the substrate position correction mechanism is arranged on the Substrate table in the lock chamber, by making point At least one party above and below not being placed with the upside table top and downside table top of two substrates relatively moves relative to the opposing party, makes institute State upside table top and the offset of downside table top and staggering for the substrate position that is produced by the rotation of described two supports Amount is identical.
Thus, by the way that substrate position correction mechanism is arranged at into Substrate table, compared to being arranged at substrate carrying mechanism or branch The situation of frame etc., can simplify structure.
Due to lock chamber because between vacuum atmosphere and air atmosphere switch and internally produce convection current, so by substrate position Put in the case that correction mechanism is arranged in lock chamber, there is the problem of substrate position correction mechanism is as particle generating source.In addition, Because the capacity of lock chamber can become this part of large substrates position correction mechanism, the switching time of the atmosphere of lock chamber is elongated, can be right Productivity ratio produces baneful influence.
It is preferred, therefore, that the substrate position correction mechanism is arranged on the substrate carrying mechanism, by making difference At least one party above and below being placed with the upside conveyor surface and downside conveyor surface of two substrates relatively moves relative to the opposing party, makes The offset of the upside conveyor surface and the downside conveyor surface and the substrate produced by the rotation of described two supports The offset of position is identical.
So, by the way that substrate position adjustment mechanism is arranged at into substrate carrying mechanism, the capacity of lock chamber can be reduced, can Shorten the switching time of the atmosphere of lock chamber, so as to improve productivity ratio.
Preferably, described two supports include top bracket and bottom bracket, and the substrate position correction mechanism is set On the bracket, on the rotating mechanism or between the support and the rotating mechanism, by making to maintain respectively above and below At least one party in the top bracket and the bottom bracket of two substrates relatively moves relative to the opposing party, makes on described The offset of side stand and the bottom bracket staggers with the substrate position that is produced by the rotation of described two supports Amount is identical.
So, by the way that substrate position adjustment mechanism is set on the bracket, on the rotating mechanism or the support Between the rotating mechanism, the capacity of lock chamber can be reduced, the switching time of the atmosphere of lock chamber can be shortened, so as to carry High production rate.Here, by making substrate position correction mechanism utilize the power of the rotating mechanism, the new power without setting.
According to the present invention of the composition, the support maximized can be stably supported, and can prevent because of support Maximization cause the high capacity of lock chamber, and the time for the atmosphere for switching the lock chamber can be shortened.
