Abstract
Description
先ず、本実施形態にかかるウェハ処理装置について説明する。図1は、本実施形態にかかるウェハ処理装置1の構成の概略を示す平面図である。本実施形態においては、ウェハ処理装置1が、基板としてのウェハWにエッチング処理、成膜処理又は拡散処理等のプラズマ処理を行うための処理モジュールを備える場合について説明する。なお、本開示のウェハ処理装置1のモジュール構成はこれに限られず、ウェハ処理の目的に応じて任意に選択され得る。
本実施形態にかかるウェハ処理装置1は以上のように構成されている。次に、各モジュールの詳細な構成について説明する。図2は、ロードロックモジュール20、フィッティングモジュール60、第1のトランスファモジュール50a、第2のトランスファモジュール50b、パスモジュール55の構成の概略を模式的に示す縦断面図である。
上述したように、パスモジュール55は第1のトランスファモジュール50aと第2のトランスファモジュール50bとを相互に接続するものである。パスモジュール55の内部と第1のトランスファモジュール50a及び第2のトランスファモジュール50bの内部とは空間的に連通しており、ウェハW搬送時には減圧雰囲気下にある。図3は、パスモジュール55の構成の概略を模式的に示す斜視図である。なお、図3では、ウェハ搬送機構80a(搬送アーム81a)によってウェハWがパスモジュール55内に搬送された状態を図示している。
なお、フォーカスリングFRとはウェハWの周囲において位置合わせを行う例えばシリコン製の部材であり、カバーリングCRとはフォーカスリングFRの外側を覆う例えば石英製の部材である。エッジリングERとは、ウェハWに対しプラズマ処理を行う場合に、当該ウェハWの周囲を囲むようにして配置される環状部材であり、ここでは、上記フォーカスリングFRとカバーリングCRの総称である。
次に、本実施形態に係るウェハ処理装置1において、パスモジュール55を介したウェハWの受け渡し方法の一例について説明する。例えば、同一のウェハWに対し、第1のトランスファモジュール50aの側面に設けられた処理モジュール70において第1の基板処理を行った後、第2のトランスファモジュール50bの側面に設けられた別の処理モジュール70において第2の基板処理を行う場合に、当該ウェハWを第1のトランスファモジュール50aから第2のトランスファモジュール50に受け渡す必要がある。
