技术领域
本公开内容的实施方式一般涉及光学装置。更具体而言，本文描述的实施方式提供用于制造光学装置的多深度膜的形成。
背景技术
光学装置可用于通过在基板上形成的光学装置的结构的空间变化的结构参数(例如，形状、尺寸、定向)来操纵光的传播。光学装置提供空间变化的光学响应，其根据需要塑形光学波前。光学装置的这些结构通过引起局部相位不连续(即，在小于光的波长的距离上的相位的突然改变)来改变光传播。这些结构可由基板上不同类型的材料、形状或配置构成，并且可基于不同的物理原理来操作。
制造光学装置需要由设置在基板上的装置材料层形成结构。然而，待制造的光学装置的期望性质可能需要具有各种深度的结构。因此，在本领域中需要用于形成用于制造光学装置的多深度膜的方法。

经常，基板201需要在前侧与背侧上进行处理。翻转装置803允许基板201自动翻转，使得基板201可在后续的工艺中在背侧上进行处理。致动器706将臂708延伸至FOUP801a中并且从槽804a接收载具组件600。致动器臂708将载具组件600放置在对准器711上。致动器706缩回臂708。对准器711定向组件600。臂708接收对准的组件600并且将组件600朝真空吸盘710提升预定的距离903。真空吸盘710接合内部区域901以吸附基板201及接合外部区域902以吸附掩模301。留下基板201及掩模301，臂708降低载具601。致动器706使臂708及载具601缩回。致动器707在真空吸盘710下方延伸臂709。臂708提升距离903以接收在真空吸盘710上的基板201。真空吸盘710关闭区域901，释放基板201。臂709降低基板201。致动器707延伸臂709以将基板201放入翻转装置803中。致动器707收回臂709。翻转装置803将基板201翻转180度至基板201的背侧。臂709延伸至翻转装置803中并且接收基板201。致动器臂709将基板201运输至对准器711。致动器707缩回臂709并且对准器711对准基板201。臂709接收对齐的基板201并且提升基板201距离903至真空吸盘710。真空吸盘710接合内部区域901以吸附基板201。致动器707降低并且缩回臂709。致动器706在真空吸盘710下方延伸臂708及载具601。臂708将载具601提升至真空吸盘710。真空吸盘710解除接合内部区域901及外部区域902，从而释放基板201及掩模301至载具601上。致动器臂708降低整个载具组件600。致动器臂708延伸进入FOUP 801a中并且将整个载具组件600放回至槽804a中。重复以上公开的建构过程，直到FOUP 801a的全部组件皆完成为止。一旦FOUP 801a的全部组件600皆完成基板201翻转，即对FOUP 801b重复该过程。以上公开的过程造成在FOUP 801a及FOUP801b中具有翻转的基板201的完全组装的载具组件600。然后，载具组件600准备好在背侧上处理基板201。以上公开的过程也可在没有掩模301的情况下完成，从而造成具有载具601及翻转的基板201的组件。
在另一个实施方式中，利用建构站703来拆卸载具组件600。掩模301及载具601能够重复用于多个进程列。拆卸过程于装载有完整的载具组件600的FOUP 801a及FOUP 801b开始。在一个实施方式中，基板201的前侧已进行了处理。在另一个实施方式中，基板201的前侧及背侧已进行了处理。致动器臂708延伸至FOUP 801a中，并且从槽808接收载具组件600。致动器臂708将载具组件600放置至对准器711上。致动器706缩回臂708，对准器711对准组件600。臂708延伸以接收组件600。臂708提升组件600距离903至真空吸盘710。真空吸盘710接合内部区域901以吸附基板201，并且接合外部区域902以吸附基板201。然后，致动器706将臂708与载具601一起降低及缩回。致动器707在真空吸盘710下方延伸臂709。臂709被提升距离903至真空吸盘710上的基板201。真空吸盘710解除接合内部区域901，从而释放基板201至致动器臂709上。致动器臂709降低基板201并且延伸至FOUP 802中。将基板201放入FOUP 802的最低的槽808x中。然后臂708在真空吸盘710下方延伸载具601。臂708将载具601提升距离903至真空吸盘710以接收掩模301。真空吸盘710解除接合外部区域902，从而释放掩模301至载具601上。致动器臂708降低掩模301及载具601组件，并且将掩模301及载具601放入槽804L中。
一旦FOUP 801a的组件600完全拆卸，即对FOUP 801b重复该过程。重复该过程直到FOUP 801a及FOUP 801b的全部载具组件600已拆卸。上述拆卸过程的结果为，FOUP 801a及FOUP 801b装载了掩模301及载具601以及FOUP 802装载了已处理的基板201。在拆卸过程中，载具组件600从FOUP 801a及FOUP 801b沿方向807卸除，基板201沿方向807装载至FOUP802中。也可在没有掩模301的情况下完成以上公开的过程，从而造成装载有载具601的载具FOUP 801a及载具FOUP 801b以及装载有已处理的基板201的FOUP 802。
