Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport roller according to claim 1 and a transport system according to claim 8 for receiving and transporting at least one thin, flexible substrate and a corresponding method according to claim 9.
  • the WO 2008/120248 A1 relates to a device for transporting electronic circuits.
  • the EP 0 894 746 A1 relates to a magnetic transport system for the transport of magnetically polarized component.
  • the EP 1 698 999 A1 relates to an apparatus and method for inspecting RFID labels.
  • the US 2006/0194412 A1 relates to a method and an apparatus for an adhesive tape for receiving wafers.
  • the substrates When processing thin substrates with a thickness of less than 1 mm, for example wafers or in the production of silicon-based photovoltaic cells, the substrates, which are usually at least 20 cm in diameter (for example in wafer processing) and / or at least 10 cm diameter for non-circular, flat substrates (for example, in the Si-based Photovoltaic cell production), usually transported with vacuum grippers by robots between individual process modules. Again and again it comes when gripping, also because of the applied vacuum, damage or breakage of the substrates, with very thin substrates even bulges at the suction holes of the vacuum gripper.
  • the main obstacles for a commercial application are also the transport logistics or the transport and technology in the manufacturing environment and the lack of suitable methods and means to transport these thin substrates, for example, from substrate manufacturer to photovoltaic manufacturing.
  • the invention is based on the idea of receiving the substrates on a transport foil and transporting them between the individual process modules.
  • the present invention goes the opposite way, by also the carrier, in the present case a transport foil, as a flexible component.
  • a transport film designed as a transport belt has the additional advantage that the substrates are prefabricated on the transport foil, in particular wound on a transport roller, are transportable, preferably from the manufacturer of the transport foil or manufacturer of the substrates with prefabricated substrates to the processor. According to the invention a system is thus created, which makes it possible to attach thin and therefore flexible substrates on a flexible carrier system and thus make this overall system for handling, storage and transport wound up.
  • the transport foil is advantageously provided with a substrate, in particular a soft, preferably scratch-free material, in particular at least on the rear side of the transport foil, in order to protect the substrate front side in the wound state or to avoid damage such as scratches and the like.
  • the transport film has a slightly greater width than the substrates, in particular between 20 and 50 cm. But it is also conceivable that several substrates are arranged side by side on the transport foil. Advantageously, it is also possible to accommodate substrates on both sides of the transport foil.
  • the transport foil is made of plastic and / or fiber material, in particular glass fiber reinforced.
  • the transport foil in particular on a transport roller, wound or wound, so that a transport from the manufacturer to the processor in a space-saving manner is possible.
  • the transport foil has a thickness of ⁇ 1000 .mu.m, in particular ⁇ 500 .mu.m, preferably ⁇ 200 .mu.m.
  • the adhesive is advantageously solvable in a simple manner, in particular by UV irradiation, thermally, by solvents, stripping, unrolling.
  • the dissolution preferably takes place by reducing the contact surface in the case of adhesive adhesion methods.
  • the substrates are formed at least predominantly from at least one material of the group of semiconductors or compound semiconductors, in particular of glass, silicon, gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), ceramic, the substrates having a thickness 200 ⁇ m, in particular ⁇ 100 ⁇ m, preferably ⁇ 50 ⁇ m,
  • a material for the transport film according to the invention comes in a particularly advantageous embodiment at least partially, in particular predominantly, stainless steel in question, preferably in the form of a hybrid film, preferably formed by a metal core with plastic coating.
  • the film is designed so that electrostatic charging is prevented or can be removed in an orderly manner.
  • This is achieved in that the film has a conductivity of> 10e-15 S / m, preferably> 10e-12 S / m, even more ideally> 10e-9S / m.
  • the conductive foil in conjunction with suitable devices in the manufacturing equipment and transport systems allows an orderly discharge of the charges.
  • Conductive plastic is achieved here by doping the plastic with conductive additives.
  • As a material for the transport film could also woven plastic such as GoreTex® as well as woven plastic with a suitable coating or any woven fiber with a suitable coating can be used.
  • FIG. 1 shows a transport foil 4 in the form of a conveyor belt which is driven by at least one drive roller 1 in a rotational direction by frictional contact with the transport foil 4. In this way, adhered to the transport film, flexible substrates 3 along a transport path T can be transported.
  • FIG. 1 two process modules 5 shown schematically in which defined process steps are performed on the substrates 3, for example, lithography, exposure, developing, sputtering, heating, cooling, deposition, etching, implanting, embossing, bonding, etc.
  • the substrates are suitable deflection / Guide rollers 2 and brought by the movement of the transport foil 4 by means of the drive roller 1 in position.
  • the conveyor belt or the transport foil 4 can also be guided through closed process module spaces, in particular under or overpressure, by moving the conveyor belt or the transport foil 4 in via a fluidic seal into a corresponding process module space 5 on one side and on the other side ,
  • the transport foil 4 with the substrates 3 fixed thereon is shown in a plan view, with square substrates 3 being shown in the present case, but likewise round substrates, for example wafers, can be processed.
  • the diameter or the transverse extent of the substrates is advantageously smaller than the width of the conveyor belt 4 and, advantageously, the substrates 3 are fixed at a distance along the transport path T on the transport foil 4, so that a detection of the position of the individual substrates 3 is made possible and the substrates 3 can be correspondingly precisely moved to the processing positions in the process modules.
  • position marks for positioning the substrates can be applied to the film. These contrast in contrast to the material of the transport foil.
  • index holes can be incorporated in the transport foil. These can be used in a preferred embodiment in conjunction with specially designed rollers for an improved drive, in which there is positive contact between the drive roller and the film.
  • the transport foil 4 is placed on a in FIG. 3 shown transport roller 6 are supplied wound, wherein advantageously the substrates 3 are already delivered pre-wound on the transport roller 6.
  • the processed substrates 3 are removed for further processing of the transport foil 4, for example, when using a UV-soluble adhesive as a connecting means between the transport foil 4 and the substrates 3 by UV light irradiation at the end of the transport path T.
  • the peeling or discharging of the processed substrates 3 is in an exemplary embodiment in FIG FIG. 4 shown.
  • the transport foil 4 is deflected by a deflection roller 10 in the direction of the side facing away from the substrates 3 side of the transport foil 4, in particular with a deflection angle of at least 45 °, preferably at least 90 °.
  • the guide roller 10 has a radius R 10 smaller than the radius R 6 of the transport roller 6, in particular with a ratio of ⁇ 1 ⁇ 2, preferably ⁇ 1 ⁇ 4.
  • the flexible substrates are advantageously transferred to a linear transport device 11 with transport rollers 12.
  • the application of the flexible substrates 3 on the transport foil 4 takes place in the reverse direction, as in FIG. 3 represented, wherein a, in particular with the guide roller 10 identical deflection roller 10 'is arranged such that the transport film in extension of a linear transport 11' extends and the flexible substrates 3 receives for further transport to a transport roller 6.
  • the linear transport device 11 ' is by transport rollers 12 'driven.
  • the transport foil 4 can be advantageously as in FIG FIG. 5 be constructed shown.
