Description

  The present invention relates to a coating apparatus that coats a substrate on a substrate.

  Conventionally, methods for applying a coating liquid accurately and uniformly onto a substrate used in an electronic device such as a semiconductor wafer or a display device include a bar coating method, a die coating method, and a roll coating method.

  The bar coating method is a method in which a coating liquid applied on a substrate is stretched to a predetermined film thickness by a bar coater. The die coating method is a method for securing a coating film thickness between a tip end portion of a die nozzle that coats a certain amount of coating liquid and a substrate to be coated. The roll coating method is a method in which a predetermined coating film layer is formed on a roll surface and transferred to a substrate. In any method, the coating film thickness accuracy is ensured by closely contacting the substrate with the bar coater, die nozzle or roll, or maintaining a certain gap. In order to ensure coating film thickness accuracy for warped or wavy substrates, the substrate is adsorbed to a rigid body such as a stone surface plate with little deformation installed on the back side of the substrate, or the substrate is pressed against the rigid body from the top surface of the substrate. Method was used.

  As a method for applying the coating liquid uniformly and accurately on the substrate, a coating apparatus including a bar coater disclosed in Patent Document 1 and a die coating method using a die nozzle as disclosed in Patent Document 2 have been proposed.

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a coating apparatus equipped with a conventional bar coater, and shows a coating apparatus equipped with the bar coater shown in Patent Document 1. FIG. In FIG. 7, reference numeral 301 denotes a bar coater that is supported at both ends by a support arm 302 and can move in a direction toward and away from the substrate 303. A weight 304 is attached to the swing arm 305 and applies a vertical load from the arm member vertical portion 307 to the bar coater 301 via the arm member horizontal portion 306.

  The substrate 303 is moved in the direction of arrow A while applying a predetermined load with the weight 304 to the substrate 303 via the bar coater 301, so that the coating liquid 308 is stretched and applied to the entire substrate 303. A coating liquid 308 is applied to the entire width direction of the substrate 303 by the bar coater 301. Thus, by applying a vertical load to the bar coater 301 with the weight 304, the coating liquid is stretched while alleviating warpage and undulation of the substrate 303, thereby ensuring the coating film thickness accuracy.

  FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional coating apparatus using a die coating method, and shows a coating apparatus using a die coating method disclosed in Patent Document 2. Reference numeral 401 denotes a die nozzle for supplying a coating liquid from the internal liquid reservoir 402 to the substrate 404 from the front end portion 405 facing the substrate 404 through the slit 403, and a coating film thickness is secured by a gap between the front end portion 405 and the substrate 404. Yes. Reference numeral 407 denotes a coating film coated on the substrate 404 with a uniform film thickness.

  For a substrate with large warpage and undulation, a rigid body 406 such as a stone surface plate with little deformation is installed on the back surface of the substrate 404, and the substrate 404 is adsorbed to the rigid body 406 by means of vacuum suction or the like from the suction pad 408 on the back surface. By doing so, the coating film thickness is secured by the gap between the tip 405 and the substrate 404. Reference numeral 409 denotes a coating liquid tank, and 410 denotes a pump that supplies the coating liquid from the tank to a liquid reservoir inside the die.

  However, when the coating liquid 308 is applied on the substrate 303 with large warpage and unevenness by the coating apparatus provided with the bar coater of Patent Document 1, the bar coater 301 is transported when the substrate 303 is transported by the bar coater 301 held only at both ends. Vibrated and the coating liquid 308 could not be applied uniformly with high accuracy.

  In addition, the die coating method of Patent Document 2 requires a suction pad 408 and an exhaust hole 411 for connecting the suction pad 408 and the vacuum pump 412 to align the substrate 404 with the rigid body 406 on the back surface, resulting in an apparatus having a complicated structure. It was a factor of cost increase.

  The present invention is a coating apparatus for coating a coating liquid such as a film substrate on a glass substrate such as a solar cell or a display device or a Si substrate for semiconductor. The coating apparatus of the present invention has a supply unit for supplying the coating liquid onto the substrate, a bar for extending the supplied coating liquid onto the substrate, and at least a portion of the substrate in contact with the bar and a shape in the vicinity thereof to a predetermined shape. It consists of a deformation part to be deformed. The deforming portion flattens the shape of the substrate in contact with the bar and the surrounding substrate, or deforms the entire substrate or the shape of the substrate in contact with the bar and the surrounding substrate into a predetermined curved shape. In this state, the coating solution is stretched with a bar. By stretching the coating liquid while controlling the shape of the substrate in this manner, the coating liquid can be applied easily, accurately, uniformly and inexpensively on a large substrate having warpage or unevenness.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(Embodiment 1)
First, the coating apparatus in Embodiment 1 is demonstrated using FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a coating apparatus in the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the coating apparatus in the first embodiment.
In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 102 denotes a stage that holds and conveys the substrate 103. Reference numeral 101 denotes a supply unit that supplies the coating liquid 104 in a necessary amount in the width direction of the substrate 103 onto the substrate 103 installed in the cottage 102. In the first embodiment, an example is shown in which a dispenser in which a supply needle 106 is attached to the tip of a syringe 105 is used as the supply unit 101.

  The supply unit 101 of the coating liquid 104 is connected to a ball screw 108, and can be applied onto the substrate 103 without leaving the coating liquid 104 by moving in the width direction of the substrate 103. Both ends of the ball screw 108 are held by a support member 107 that can move up and down. Reference numeral 109 denotes a bar that extends the coating liquid 104 in the width direction on the substrate 103 from the start end 110 to the end 111 of the substrate 103 with a predetermined film thickness, and is held by a plurality of chucks 112.

  The plurality of chucks 112 are held by a bar head 113 which is an elevating unit, and can operate in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 103. In addition, the bar 109 can be pressed toward the substrate 103 by a pressing means provided independently for each chuck 112. In the first embodiment, the bar 109 having a width of 400 mm is held by ten chucks 112 provided at a pitch of 40 mm. As the pressurizing means, for example, a compression spring (not shown) can be used. An air cylinder 114 is attached as means for vertically moving the bar head 113. A roller 116 is supported by the bracket 117 and presses the outer side 115 of the coating liquid 104 supplied before and after the moving direction of the bar 109 and in the width direction of the substrate 103. The roller 116 functions as a deforming part. By this roller 116, the uneven substrate 103 can be made to follow the stage 102 in the region before and after the bar 109.

  In the coating operation in the first embodiment, first, the substrate 103 is set on the stage 102. Next, the coating liquid 104 is applied to the substrate 103 in the width direction of the substrate 103 by a dispenser as the supply unit 101 while the substrate 103 and the supply unit 101 are transported in a relatively fixed direction. Next, the coating liquid 104 is stretched by the bar 109 while pressing the substrate 103 before and after the bar 109 with the roller 116. In this way, by pressing the upper surface of the substrate 103 on the outer side of the coating liquid 104 applied on the substrate 103 and before and after the bar 109 to the stage 102 side with the roller 116, the uneven substrate 103 is brought along the stage 102. Since the bar 109 can be pressed and brought into contact with the substrate 103 without any gap, the coating liquid 104 can be easily and accurately applied onto the large substrate 103 with large warpage and unevenness.

  2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2A shows a coating operation in the vicinity of the starting end 110. In the vicinity of the start end 110, the substrate 103 is along the stage 102 side by being pressed against the stage 102 by rollers 116 before and after the bar 109. Therefore, the coating applied in the width direction of the substrate 103 by intermittent operation from the supply needle 106 provided at the tip of the dispenser as the supply unit 101 with the bar 109 pressed against the substrate 103 without any gap. The liquid 104 can be spread as a coating film 119 having a predetermined thickness on the substrate 103 with high accuracy. The dispenser which is the bar 109, the roller 116, and the supply means 101 relatively moves on the substrate 103 to the end 111 through the vicinity of the central portion 118 while maintaining the same positional relationship.

  FIG. 2B shows a coating operation in the vicinity of the central portion 118. Also in the vicinity of the central portion 118, the front and back of the bar 109 of the substrate 103 are pressed against the stage 102 by the roller 116 so that the substrate 103 is moved along the stage side. For this reason, the coating liquid 104 can be spread on the substrate 103 with high accuracy in a state where the bar 109 is pressed against the substrate 103 without any gap. Similarly, the front and back of the bar 109 of the substrate 103 are pressed against the stage 102 by the rollers 116 so that the substrate 103 is moved along the stage 102 side, so that the coating liquid can be accurately applied over the entire substrate 103.

  In the above description, the film thickness is adjusted with high accuracy by flattening the portion where the bar of the substrate is in contact and the periphery thereof. However, the thickness is not limited to being flat. You may control so that it may become the surface of a predetermined curvature. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part showing a configuration of a coating apparatus that stretches the coating liquid while making a part of the substrate curved in the first embodiment. FIG. 3 (a) is a cross-sectional view of the main part, and FIG. 3 (b). These are the principal part top views.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the difference from the configuration shown in FIG. 2 is that a pressure receiving portion 120 is provided on the stage 102 below the bar 109. By providing the pressure receiving portion 120, the substrate 103 is placed on the pressure receiving portion 120 below the bar 109, and the substrate 103 is pressed against the stage 102 by the roller 116 at the peripheral portion of the bar 109. As a result, the substrate 103 is deformed into a curved surface protruding at a portion in contact with the bar 109, and the warpage and unevenness of the substrate 103 are absorbed. In this state, since the coating liquid 104 is stretched by the bar 109, it is possible to easily form a thin film whose film thickness is adjusted accurately and uniformly. The pressure receiving unit 120 is connected to the bracket 117 and moves along with the movement of the bar 109 together with the roller 116. The pressure receiving portion 120 has a bar shape having an arbitrary shape such as a circular shape or a rectangular shape in cross section. The height from the stage 102 such as the cross-sectional diameter of the pressure receiving unit 120 is set according to the curvature of the curved surface formed on the substrate 103. Further, the curvature is determined according to the warp or unevenness of the substrate 103.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser and the bar are used as the supply unit. However, the slit coater and the roll can be used while pressing the substrate before and after the slit coater and the roll coater with a roller even if a slit coater or a roll coater is used. The same effect can be obtained by moving the coater relative to the substrate.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, the coating apparatus in Embodiment 2 is demonstrated using FIGS.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a coating apparatus in the second embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the coating apparatus in the second embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of the pressure receiving unit in the second embodiment.

  4 and 5, reference numeral 201 denotes a supply unit that supplies a necessary amount of the coating liquid 204 in the width direction of the substrate 203 onto a substrate 203 installed on a stage 202 that is a transport means. In the second embodiment, a dispenser in which a supply needle 206 is attached to the tip of a syringe 205 is used as the supply unit 201.

  The supply unit 201 for the coating liquid 204 is connected to a ball screw 208, and can be applied onto the substrate 203 without leaving the coating liquid 204 by moving in the width direction of the substrate 203. Both ends of the ball screw 208 are held by a support member 207 that can move up and down. Reference numeral 209 denotes a bar that extends the coating liquid 204 in the width direction on the substrate 203 from the start end 210 to the end 211 of the substrate 203 with a predetermined film thickness, and is held by a plurality of chucks 212. The plurality of chucks 212 are held by a bar head 213 that is an elevating unit so that the vertical movement is possible. In addition, the bar 209 can be pressed toward the substrate 203 by a pressing unit provided independently for each chuck 212.

  In the second embodiment, the bar 209 having a width of 400 mm is held by ten chucks 212 provided at a pitch of 40 mm. As the pressurizing means, for example, a compression spring (not shown) can be used. An air cylinder 214 is attached as means for vertically moving the bar head 213, and the bar 209 is always pressed against the substrate 203 to stretch the coating liquid 204 onto the substrate 203. A coating liquid 215 is stretched on the substrate 203 with a uniform thickness.

  Reference numeral 216 denotes a start end pressing bar that presses the substrate 203 toward the stage 202 with the outer side of the stretched coating liquid 215 at the start end of the substrate 203. The start end pressing bar 216 is supported by the start end pressing bracket 217 and presses the substrate 203. Reference numeral 218 denotes an end pressing bar that presses the substrate 203 toward the stage 202 on the outer side of the end 211 of the substrate 203 and is supported by the end pressing bracket 219 to press the substrate 203.

  220 is disposed on the stage 202 at a position not less than 15% and not more than 25% of the substrate length L from the starting edge of the substrate. The diameter or height perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 203 from the stage 202 is 0. It is a starting pressure receiving portion of 8% or more and 1.2% or less. 221 is arranged on the stage 202 at a position not less than 15% and not more than 25% of the substrate length L from the end of the substrate, and the diameter or height perpendicular to the surface of the substrate 203 is not less than 0.8% of the substrate length L 1 .Terminal pressure receiving part within 2%. The start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end end pressure receiving portion 221 are one or a plurality of rod-shaped pressure receiving portions, and the cross-sectional shape is arbitrary such as circular or rectangular.

  In Embodiment 2 of the present invention, a glass substrate having a length of 800 mm and a thickness of 3 mm is used, and the length L of the substrate 203 is 1 at a position 160 mm from the starting end, which is 20% of the length 203 of the substrate 203. %, An end pressure receiving portion 221 having a height of 8 mm, which is 1% of the length L of the substrate 203, is disposed at a position 160 mm from the end. The substrate 203 is pressed to the stage 202 side by pressing the start end of the substrate 203 with the start end pressing bar 216 and the end of the substrate 203 with the end pressing bar 218, and the substrate 203 is pressed from the stage 202 side by the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221. By pressing, the substrate 203 can be deformed into an arcuate curved surface having a convex shape by applying a constant moment to the substrate 203 between the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221.

  According to the above configuration example, the arc R having a radius R of 30 m is deformed between the start pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221. This eliminates the warp in the width direction of the substrate 203. The coating liquid 204 applied in the width direction on the substrate 203 can be uniformly stretched from the start end to the end by moving the bar 209 up and down along the controlled arc shape of the substrate 203 with the air cylinder 214, Compared with the case where the bar 209 is placed along irregular warps or irregularities, a thin film can be easily and accurately formed. When the positions of the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221 are smaller than 15% of the length 203 of the substrate 203, the moment applied to the substrate 203 between the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221 is reduced, and the radius of the arc is increased. .

  For this reason, the curvature of the width direction of a board | substrate cannot be eliminated. In addition, when the position of the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221 is greater than 25% of the substrate length L, the distance between the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221 is equal to or less than half the substrate length L. The radius of the arc increases between the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the start end, and between the end pressure receiving portion 221 and the end, and the warp in the width direction of the substrate 203 cannot be eliminated.

  In the application operation in the second embodiment, first, the start end is pressed on the stage 202 by the start end pressing bar 216 and the end end is pressed by the end pressing bar 218, and a circle having a convex shape is formed between the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221. The warp in the width direction is eliminated by deforming the substrate 203 into an arcuate curved surface. In this state, the coating liquid 204 is applied onto the substrate 203 with a dispenser as an example of the supply unit 201 in the width direction of the substrate 203, and the bar 209 is moved up and down along the arc of the substrate 203 with the air cylinder 214. In this way, the coating liquid 204 is stretched by the bar 209 while eliminating the warp of the substrate 203 to form an arc, so that the bar 209 can be pressed and brought into contact with the substrate 203 without any warp or unevenness. The coating liquid 204 can be accurately applied onto the large and large substrate 203.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing a B-B ′ cross section of FIG. 4, and FIG. 5A shows a coating operation in the vicinity of the start end 210. Before the coating operation, the substrate 203 is set on the start end pressure receiving unit 220 and the end end pressure receiving unit 221 installed on the stage 202, and the stage 202 is set on the start end 210 with the start end pressing bar 216 and the end 211 upper surface with the end pressing bar 218. By pressing to the side, the substrate 203 is deformed into an arc-shaped curved surface having a convex shape between the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end end pressure receiving portion 221. By moving the bar head 213 up and down along the arc of the substrate 203, the bar 209 can always contact the substrate 203 from the vicinity of the start end 210 to the vicinity of the end 211. FIG. 5B is a diagram in which the bar 209 is moved along the arc of the substrate 203 from the vicinity of the start end 210 toward the end 211, and the substrate 203 is intermittently operated from a supply needle 206 at the tip of a dispenser as an example of the supply unit 201. The coating liquid 204 applied in the width direction (depth direction in the drawing) can be spread on the substrate 203 as a coating film made of the coating liquid 215 having a predetermined thickness.

  Further, by moving the bar 209 from the vicinity of the start end 210 toward the end 211 toward the end 211, along the arc of the substrate 203, a coating film having a predetermined thickness can be formed over the entire substrate 203.

  In the above description, the case where two of the start end pressure receiving portion and the end pressure receiving portion are used as the pressure receiving portion has been described as an example, but the number of pressure receiving portions is 1 or more and is arbitrary. A pressure receiving portion having an optimal number, size, or cross-sectional shape can be provided according to the curvature of the substrate or the elasticity of the substrate.

  As shown in FIG. 6A, one pressure receiving portion 222 can be disposed near the center of the substrate 203. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, in addition to the start end pressure receiving portion 220 and the end end pressure receiving portion 221, one pressure receiving portion 222 can be provided near the center of the substrate 203. At this time, the height of the pressure receiving portion 222 from the stage 202 is set higher than the heights of the start pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221. Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, in addition to the start end pressure receiving part 220 and the end end pressure receiving part 221, a plurality of pressure receiving parts 222 may be provided between the start end pressure receiving part 220 and the end end pressure receiving part 221. At this time, the height of the pressure receiving portion 222 from the stage 202 is set higher than the heights of the start pressure receiving portion 220 and the end pressure receiving portion 221.

  In the second embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser and the bar are used as the supply unit, but the same effect can be obtained even if a slit coater or a roll coater is used.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can apply a coating liquid easily and accurately on a large substrate having warpage or unevenness, and is useful for a coating apparatus for applying a coating liquid on a substrate.
