Description

本発明は、例えば液晶ディスプレイ(LCD)、有機ELディスプレイ(OLED)、プラズマディスプレイ(PDP)、フレキシブルディスプレイなどのフラットパネルディスプレイ(FPD)やセンサーデバイスか、又は例えばタッチパネル式FPDや3D(3次元)ディスプレイや電子書籍などのような、液晶モジュール(LCM)やフレキシブルプリント配線板(FPC)などの板状ワークに対して、タッチパネルやカバーガラスやカバーフィルムやFPDなどのもう一枚の板状ワークを貼り合わせる貼合デバイスの製造装置に関する。   The present invention may be a flat panel display (FPD) or a sensor device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic EL display (OLED), a plasma display (PDP), or a flexible display, or a touch panel type FPD or 3D (three-dimensional). Another plate-like workpiece such as a touch panel, cover glass, cover film, or FPD is used for a plate-like workpiece such as a liquid crystal module (LCM) or flexible printed wiring board (FPC) such as a display or an electronic book. It is related with the manufacturing apparatus of the bonding device bonded together.

従来、この種の貼合デバイスの製造装置として、上側基板保持具及び下側基板保持具に設けられた貫通孔に沿って、上側基板及び下側基板の受け渡し用のリフトピンをそれぞれ上下動可能に設け、大気圧における搬入時には、搬送ロボットのアームで保持して搬送された上側基板及び下側基板を、上側基板保持具及び下側基板保持具の表面から突出するように上下動したリフトピンでそれぞれ受け取り、これに続いてリフトピンが逆移動して、上側基板及び下側基板を上側基板保持具及び下側基板保持具の表面にそれぞれ受け渡す基板重ね合わせ装置がある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。基板の受け渡し後は、上側基板保持具と下側基板保持具が接近移動して両者間の真空容器内を真空状態にしてから、上側基板と下側基板を重ね合わせて仮止めし、真空容器内が大気圧になってから、貼り合わされた基板をリフトピンにより搬送ロボットのアームに受け渡して搬出している。
さらに、特許文献1に記載される、上側基板保持具及び下側基板保持具の貫通孔と、リフトピンと間には、Oリングのようなシール部材を設けて、リフトピンと摺動可能に接触させることにより、真空容器内の密封状態を維持している。
また、その他の例として、貫通孔が設けられるチャンバーと、上側基板及び下側基板の受け渡し用のリフトピンとに亘って、ベローズなどの弾性変形可能なシール部材を設けて、リフトピンと上下動可能に連結することにより、チャンバー内の密封状態を維持する基板貼り合わせ装置もある(例えば、特許文献2参照)。
Conventionally, as a manufacturing apparatus of this kind of bonding device, the lift pins for transferring the upper substrate and the lower substrate can be moved up and down along the through holes provided in the upper substrate holder and the lower substrate holder, respectively. The upper and lower substrates held and transferred by the arm of the transfer robot at the time of carrying in at atmospheric pressure are lift pins that move up and down so as to protrude from the surfaces of the upper and lower substrate holders, respectively. There is a substrate superimposing apparatus that receives and subsequently moves the lift pins in reverse to transfer the upper substrate and the lower substrate to the surfaces of the upper substrate holder and the lower substrate holder, respectively (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). . After the delivery of the substrate, the upper substrate holder and the lower substrate holder move closer to bring the inside of the vacuum container into a vacuum state, and then the upper substrate and the lower substrate are overlapped and temporarily fixed. After the inside becomes atmospheric pressure, the bonded substrates are transferred to the arm of the transfer robot by lift pins and are carried out.
Further, a seal member such as an O-ring is provided between the through hole of the upper substrate holder and the lower substrate holder described in Patent Document 1 and the lift pin so as to be slidably contacted with the lift pin. Thus, the sealed state in the vacuum vessel is maintained.
As another example, an elastically deformable seal member such as a bellows is provided across the chamber in which the through hole is provided and the lift pins for transferring the upper substrate and the lower substrate so that the lift pins can move up and down. There is also a substrate laminating apparatus that maintains a sealed state in the chamber by being connected (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

しかし乍ら、このような従来の貼合デバイスの製造装置では、Oリングなどのシール部材がリフトピンと摺動可能に接触する特許文献1の場合、リフトピンが移動する度にOリングなどと擦れるため、これらの摺動部位からOリングなどの一部がゴミとなって発生し、ワークの貼り合わせに悪影響を与えるとともに、Oリングなどが摩耗して短寿命であり、定期的に部品交換が必要になるという問題があった。ゴミの発生を抑制するために、摺動グリースなどの潤滑剤を滑り部分に供給すると、真空中でガスの発生懸念や揮発だけでなく、メンテナンス性においても問題がある。
さらに、Oリングなどのシール部材でシールされた密閉空間が大気圧と真空に変化する際に、これら圧力差の変化によって僅かではあるが変形するため、その変形によってリフトピンの移動時に過大な負荷がかかることもあり、最悪の場合にはリフトピンが削られたり、移動不良で不慮の事故が起きたりする可能性もあった。
また、ベローズなどの弾性変形可能なシール部材でリフトピンが移動可能に連結される特許文献2の場合には、リフトピンの移動に伴ってベローズなどの伸縮できるストロークが限られており、その範囲を超えると著しくベローズなどの寿命低下につながる。そのため、リフトピンの移動ストロークを増大させるには、ベローズなどのシール部材自体の大きさをリフトピンの移動方向へ延長する必要があり、それに伴い装置全体が大型化してコスト高になるという問題があった。
However, in such a conventional bonding device manufacturing apparatus, in the case of Patent Document 1 in which a seal member such as an O-ring is slidably contacted with a lift pin, it rubs against the O-ring or the like every time the lift pin moves. Some parts such as O-rings are generated as dust from these sliding parts, which adversely affects the bonding of workpieces, wears the O-rings etc., has a short life, and requires regular replacement of parts. There was a problem of becoming. If a lubricant such as sliding grease is supplied to the sliding portion in order to suppress the generation of dust, there is a problem not only in terms of gas generation or volatilization but also in maintainability in vacuum.
Furthermore, when the sealed space sealed with a sealing member such as an O-ring changes to atmospheric pressure and vacuum, the deformation changes slightly due to the change in the pressure difference, and this deformation causes an excessive load when the lift pin moves. In some cases, the lift pins may be scraped off, or an accident may occur due to poor movement.
Further, in Patent Document 2 in which a lift pin is movably connected with a seal member that can be elastically deformed, such as a bellows, the stroke that can be expanded and contracted with the movement of the lift pin is limited and exceeds that range. And remarkably lead to a shortened life of bellows. Therefore, in order to increase the movement stroke of the lift pin, it is necessary to extend the size of the sealing member itself such as the bellows in the movement direction of the lift pin. .

本発明は、このような問題に対処することを課題とするものであり、変圧室や貫通孔と受け渡し部材との間にシール部材を用いることなく受け渡し部材を無接触で且つ無制限に移動可能なシール構造を提供すること、などを目的とするものである。   An object of the present invention is to cope with such a problem, and the transfer member can be moved without contact and without limitation without using a seal member between the variable pressure chamber or the through hole and the transfer member. The object is to provide a sealing structure.

このような目的を達成するために本発明は、変圧室に搬入された第一ワークと第二ワークを第一保持部材と第二保持部材にそれぞれ受け渡し、減圧された前記変圧室で前記第一保持部材又は前記第二保持部材のいずれか一方か若しくは両方が相対的に接近移動して前記第一ワークと前記第二ワークを貼り合わせる貼合デバイスの製造装置であって、前記第一ワーク及び前記第二ワークが出し入れ自在に収容される前記変圧室と、前記変圧室にワーク貼り合わせ方向へ互いに対向するように設けられる前記第一保持部材及び前記第二保持部材と、前記第一保持部材又は前記第二保持部材のいずれか一方か若しくは両方を前記ワーク貼り合わせ方向へ相対的に接近或いは離隔するように移動させる貼り合わせ用駆動部と、前記変圧室に設けられる貫通孔を通って前記ワーク貼り合わせ方向へ移動自在に設けられるワーク受け渡し用の受け渡し部材と、前記変圧室の前記貫通孔を気密状に開閉するように移動自在に設けられる閉鎖部材と、前記貼り合わせ用駆動部と前記受け渡し部材の受け渡し用駆動部及び前記閉鎖部材の閉鎖用駆動部をそれぞれ作動制御する制御部と、を備え、前記制御部は、ワーク搬入時において、前記貫通孔が開口するように前記閉鎖部材を開動させるとともに、前記受け渡し部材をワーク受け渡しのために移動させ、ワーク貼り合わせ時において、前記貫通孔から前記受け渡し部材を抜き出し、前記貫通孔が気密状に閉鎖されるように前記閉鎖部材を閉動させることを特徴とする。   In order to achieve such an object, the present invention transfers the first work and the second work carried into the variable pressure chamber to the first holding member and the second holding member, respectively, and the first pressure is reduced in the variable pressure chamber. Either one or both of the holding member and the second holding member relatively move to move, and is a manufacturing apparatus for a bonding device that bonds the first work and the second work, the first work and The variable pressure chamber in which the second workpiece is accommodated in a freely removable manner, the first holding member and the second holding member provided in the variable pressure chamber so as to face each other in the workpiece bonding direction, and the first holding member Alternatively, a laminating drive unit that moves either one or both of the second holding members so as to be relatively close to or apart from each other in the workpiece laminating direction, and the variable pressure chamber is provided. A workpiece transfer member provided movably in the workpiece bonding direction through the through hole, a closing member movably provided to open and close the through hole of the variable pressure chamber, and the bonding A control unit for controlling the operation of each of the alignment drive unit, the transfer drive unit for the transfer member, and the drive unit for closing the closing member, and the control unit opens the through-hole when the workpiece is loaded. The closing member is moved and the transfer member is moved for transferring the workpiece, and when the workpiece is bonded, the transfer member is extracted from the through hole so that the through hole is closed in an airtight manner. The closing member is closed.

前述した特徴を有する本発明は、変圧室へのワーク搬入時には、制御部で閉鎖部材が開動して変圧室の貫通孔を開口させることにより、受け渡し部材が移動可能になって、第一ワーク又は第二ワークのいずれか一方か若しくは両方を受け渡し部材で受け取るとともに、受け渡し部材から第一保持部材又は第二保持部材のいずれか一方か若しくは両方に受け渡す。その後は、制御部で変圧室の貫通孔から受け渡し部材を抜き出してから、閉鎖部材が閉動して貫通孔を気密状に閉鎖させることにより、変圧室が高度な真空状態になるまで減圧可能になって、第一ワークと第二ワークが貼り合わされる。
したがって、変圧室や貫通孔と受け渡し部材との間にシール部材を用いることなく受け渡し部材を無接触で且つ無制限に移動可能なシール構造を提供することができる。
その結果、Oリングなどのシール部材がリフトピンと摺動可能に接触する従来のものに比べ、摺動部位が無いシール構造であるため、ゴミの発生によるワークの貼り合わせに悪影響や、摩耗に伴う部品交換や、圧力差の変化によるシール部材の変形を防止できて、長期に亘り安定した稼働が図れる。
さらに、ベローズなどの弾性変形可能なシール部材でリフトピンが移動可能に連結される従来のものに比べ、受け渡し部材をフリーで移動できるため、部品の寿命低下や、装置全体の大型化を防止できて、コストの低減化が図れる。
In the present invention having the above-described features, the transfer member can be moved by opening the through-hole of the variable pressure chamber by opening the through hole of the variable pressure chamber by opening the through-hole of the variable pressure chamber when the work is carried into the variable pressure chamber. Either one or both of the second workpieces are received by the transfer member, and transferred from the transfer member to either one or both of the first holding member and the second holding member. After that, after the delivery member is pulled out from the through hole of the variable pressure chamber in the control unit, the closing member is closed and the through hole is closed in an airtight manner, so that the pressure can be reduced until the variable pressure chamber becomes highly vacuumed. Thus, the first work and the second work are pasted together.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a seal structure in which the transfer member can be moved without contact and without limitation without using a seal member between the variable pressure chamber or the through hole and the transfer member.
As a result, the seal structure has no sliding part compared to the conventional one in which a seal member such as an O-ring is slidably in contact with the lift pin. The replacement of the parts and the deformation of the seal member due to the change in the pressure difference can be prevented, and stable operation can be achieved for a long time.
Furthermore, compared to the conventional type in which the lift pin is movably connected by an elastically deformable seal member such as a bellows, the delivery member can be moved freely, so that the life of parts can be prevented and the overall size of the apparatus can be prevented. Cost reduction can be achieved.

After the delivery member 5 is extracted from the through hole 12, the operation is controlled so that the lid 61 is moved in the opposite direction so that the through hole 12 is closed in an airtight manner.

閉鎖部材6の具体例としては、図1(a)(b)などに示されるように、チャンバー10の底壁部11aに開穿した第一貫通孔12aに対し、蓋体61として平板状の第一蓋体6aが底壁部11aに沿ってX方向へ往復動自在に支持されるとともに、天井部11bに開穿した第二貫通孔12bに対し、蓋体61として平板状の第二蓋体6bが天井部11bに沿って少なくともX方向へ往復動自在に支持されている。
これら第一蓋体6a,第二蓋体6bのすべてを閉鎖用駆動部6Dで同時にX方向へ移動させることにより、第一貫通孔12a及び第二貫通孔12bをそれぞれ気密状に閉鎖している。
As a specific example of the closing member 6, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the first through hole 12 a opened in the bottom wall portion 11 a of the chamber 10 has a flat plate shape as the lid 61. The first lid 6a is supported so as to reciprocate in the X direction along the bottom wall portion 11a, and a flat plate-like second lid is used as the lid body 61 for the second through hole 12b opened in the ceiling portion 11b. The body 6b is supported so as to reciprocate at least in the X direction along the ceiling portion 11b.
The first through hole 12a and the second through hole 12b are closed in an airtight manner by moving all of the first lid 6a and the second lid 6b simultaneously in the X direction by the closing drive unit 6D. .

閉鎖用駆動部6Dによる蓋体61の開閉方法として、図4(a)(b)に示される場合には、天井部11bの第二貫通孔12bを開閉する複数の第二蓋体6bが連絡部62で一体的に連結されている。
第二蓋体6bの閉鎖用駆動部6Dは、スライドアクチュエーターなどからなるX方向移動用の駆動部6D1とZ方向移動用の駆動部6D2を有し、これらX方向移動用の駆動部6D1及びZ方向移動用の駆動部6D2が第二チャンバー10bに対して一体的に組み付けられている。
X方向移動用の駆動部6D1及びZ方向移動用の駆動部6D2は、スライドアクチュエーターなどから構成され、後述する制御部7により、図4(a)などに示されるワーク搬入時においてはX方向移動用の駆動部6D1とZ方向移動用の駆動部6D2により、第二蓋体6bを第二貫通孔12bからX方向及びZ方向へ離れた開動位置で待機させている。これに続き、上側の第二受け渡し部材5bで第二ワークW2が第二保持部材3の保持チャック32に受け渡され、受け渡し用駆動部5Dで上側の第二受け渡し部材5bのチャック部51が第二蓋体6bと干渉しない位置まで上昇した後に、X方向移動用の駆動部6D1により、連絡部62と共に第二蓋体6bをチャンバー10の天井部11bと接触しないように、第二貫通孔12bの上方位置までX方向へスライド移動させている。その後、図4(b)に示されるワーク貼り合わせ時においては、駆動手段13による第二チャンバー10bの下降タイミングと同時か、又は下降タイミングよりも前に、Z方向移動用の駆動部6D2により、連絡部62と共に第二蓋体6bを第二貫通孔12bに向けZ方向へ下降させて閉じ、気密状に閉鎖している。ワーク貼り合わせ後は、第二蓋体6bが逆の手順で待機位置に戻される。
一方、底壁部11aの第一貫通孔12aを開閉する複数の第一蓋体6aは、図示されない連絡部で一体的に連結されるとともに、閉鎖用駆動部6Dとして図示されないX方向移動用の駆動部でX方向へスライド移動させることにより、図1(a)(b)などに示される場合と同様に、第一貫通孔12aを気密状に閉鎖している。
また、その他の例として図示しないが、第二蓋体6bを第一蓋体6aと同様な構造の閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより開閉動させて第二貫通孔12bを気密状に閉鎖したり、第一蓋体6aを第二蓋体6bと同様な構造の閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより開閉動させて第一貫通孔12aを気密状に閉鎖したり変更することも可能である。
As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), as a method for opening and closing the lid 61 by the closing drive unit 6D, a plurality of second lids 6b for opening and closing the second through hole 12b of the ceiling portion 11b communicate with each other. The parts 62 are integrally connected.
The closing drive unit 6D of the second lid body 6b includes a drive unit 6D1 for moving in the X direction and a drive unit 6D2 for moving in the Z direction made of a slide actuator, and the drive units 6D1 and Z for moving in the X direction. The direction moving drive unit 6D2 is integrally assembled with the second chamber 10b.
The driving unit 6D1 for moving in the X direction and the driving unit 6D2 for moving in the Z direction are composed of a slide actuator or the like, and are moved in the X direction by the control unit 7 to be described later when the workpiece is loaded as shown in FIG. The drive unit 6D1 for driving and the drive unit 6D2 for moving in the Z direction make the second lid 6b stand by at an open position away from the second through hole 12b in the X direction and the Z direction. Following this, the second workpiece W2 is transferred to the holding chuck 32 of the second holding member 3 by the upper second transfer member 5b, and the chuck portion 51 of the upper second transfer member 5b is transferred by the transfer drive unit 5D. After ascending to a position where it does not interfere with the two lids 6b, the second through-holes 12b are arranged so that the second lid 6b is not brought into contact with the ceiling 11b of the chamber 10 together with the connecting part 62 by the driving unit 6D1 for moving in the X direction. Is slid in the X direction up to the upper position. Thereafter, at the time of workpiece bonding shown in FIG. 4 (b), the driving unit 6D2 for moving in the Z direction is used at the same time as the lowering timing of the second chamber 10b by the driving means 13 or before the lowering timing. The second lid 6b together with the connecting portion 62 is lowered and closed in the Z direction toward the second through hole 12b, and is closed in an airtight manner. After the workpieces are pasted together, the second lid 6b is returned to the standby position in the reverse procedure.
On the other hand, the plurality of first lid bodies 6a for opening and closing the first through hole 12a of the bottom wall portion 11a are integrally connected by a connecting portion (not shown) and are used for moving in the X direction (not shown) as a closing drive portion 6D. By sliding the drive unit in the X direction, the first through hole 12a is closed in an airtight manner, as in the case shown in FIGS.
Although not shown as another example, the second lid 6b is opened and closed by a closing drive unit 6D having the same structure as the first lid 6a to close the second through hole 12b in an airtight manner, It is also possible to close or change the first through-hole 12a in an airtight manner by opening and closing the one lid 6a by a closing drive unit 6D having the same structure as the second lid 6b.

さらに、閉鎖部材6の変形例として、図5(a)(b)に示されるように、閉鎖部材6が、変圧室1が形成されるチャンバー10の底壁部11a又は天井部11bのいずれか一方か若しくは両方に向けて、蓋体61を回動自在に設け、閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより蓋体61を、受け渡し部材5が抜き出し移動された貫通孔12に向け閉動させることも可能である。
詳しく説明すると、蓋体61は、蓋体61と同様に貫通孔12の開口よりも大きくて被蓋し得る形状に形成され、その一辺をチャンバー10の底壁部11aや天井部11bに対してZ方向などへ回動自在に支持し、閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより貫通孔12に向け蓋体61が回動して開閉するように構成されている。
蓋体61の閉鎖用駆動部6Dは、回転アクチュエーターなどから構成され、後述する制御部7により、ワーク搬入時において、貫通孔12が開口するように蓋体61を回動させ、ワーク貼り合わせ時において、貫通孔12から受け渡し部材5が抜き出された後に、貫通孔12が気密状に閉鎖されるように蓋体61を逆向きに回動させるように作動制御されている。
図5(a)(b)に示される例では、チャンバー10の天井部11bに対し、蓋体61として第二蓋体6bがZ方向へ回動自在に支持され、閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより天井部11bの第二貫通孔12bに向け第二蓋体6bを回動させて開閉している。
また、その他の閉鎖部材6の変形例として図示しないが、チャンバー10の底壁部11aに対し、第一蓋体6aをZ方向へ回動自在に支持して、底壁部11aの第一貫通孔12aを第一蓋体6aで開閉したり、チャンバー10の底壁部11aや天井部11bに沿って蓋体61をXY方向へ回動自在に支持し、閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより貫通孔12に向け蓋体61を回動させて開閉したり、図示例以外の開閉構造に変更することも可能である。
Furthermore, as a modified example of the closing member 6, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the closing member 6 is either the bottom wall portion 11a or the ceiling portion 11b of the chamber 10 in which the variable pressure chamber 1 is formed. It is also possible to provide the lid 61 so as to be pivotable toward one or both, and to close the lid 61 toward the through hole 12 from which the delivery member 5 has been extracted and moved by the closing drive unit 6D. .
More specifically, the lid body 61 is formed in a shape that is larger than the opening of the through hole 12 and can be covered like the lid body 61, and one side of the lid body 61 with respect to the bottom wall portion 11 a and the ceiling portion 11 b of the chamber 10. The lid 61 is rotatably supported in the Z direction or the like, and the lid 61 is rotated and opened toward the through hole 12 by the closing drive unit 6D.
The closing drive unit 6D of the lid 61 is composed of a rotary actuator or the like. When the workpiece is loaded, the lid 61 is rotated by the control unit 7 to be described later so that the through hole 12 is opened. In FIG. 5, after the delivery member 5 is extracted from the through hole 12, the operation is controlled so that the lid body 61 is rotated in the reverse direction so that the through hole 12 is closed in an airtight manner.
In the example shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the second lid 6b is supported as a lid 61 so as to be rotatable in the Z direction with respect to the ceiling 11b of the chamber 10, and the ceiling drive unit 6D closes the ceiling. The second lid 6b is rotated toward the second through hole 12b of the portion 11b to open and close.
Although not shown as a modification of the other closure member 6, the first lid 6 a is rotatably supported in the Z direction with respect to the bottom wall portion 11 a of the chamber 10, and the first penetration of the bottom wall portion 11 a is performed. The hole 12a is opened and closed by the first lid body 6a, or the lid body 61 is rotatably supported in the XY direction along the bottom wall portion 11a and the ceiling portion 11b of the chamber 10, and the through hole 12 is driven by the closing drive portion 6D. It is also possible to open and close the cover body 61 by turning the cover body 61 toward the side, or to change to an opening / closing structure other than the illustrated example.

制御部7は、チャンバー10の開閉用駆動手段13,14と、第一保持部材2及び第二保持部材3の貼り合わせ用駆動部4と、受け渡し部材5の受け渡し用駆動部5Dと、閉鎖部材6の閉鎖用駆動部6Dにそれぞれ電気的に接続するだけでなく、変圧室1に対して第一ワークW1と第二ワークW2を出し入れするための搬送手段B(Ba,Bb)や、チャンバー10の吸排気手段や、第一ワークW1と第二ワークW2をXYθ方向へ相対的に移動させるための位置合わせ手段の位置合わせ用駆動部(図示しない)や、シール材を硬化させる硬化手段(図示しない)などにも電気的に接続するコントローラーである。
制御部7となるコントローラーは、その制御回路(図示しない)に予め設定されたプログラムに従って、予め設定されたタイミングで順次それぞれ作動制御している。
詳しく説明すると、制御部7が、ワーク搬入時においては、貫通孔12が開口するように閉鎖部材6を開動させるとともに、受け渡し部材5をワーク受け渡しのために移動させるように作動制御している。その後のワーク貼り合わせ時においては、貫通孔12から受け渡し部材5を抜き出し、貫通孔12が気密状に閉鎖されるように閉鎖部材6を閉動させるとともに、第一保持部材2及び第二保持部材3を相対的に接近移動させるように作動制御している。
The control unit 7 includes an opening / closing drive means 13 and 14 for the chamber 10, a bonding drive unit 4 for the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3, a delivery drive unit 5D for the delivery member 5, and a closing member.

More specifically, when the workpiece is carried in, the control unit 7 controls the operation so that the closing member 6 is opened so that the through-hole 12 is opened and the delivery member 5 is moved for workpiece delivery. At the time of subsequent workpiece bonding, the delivery member 5 is extracted from the through hole 12, and the closing member 6 is closed so that the through hole 12 is closed in an airtight manner, and the first holding member 2 and the second holding member.

このような本発明の実施形態に係る貼合デバイスWの製造装置Aによると、図1(a)などに示されるように、変圧室1が形成されるチャンバー10の内部へ第一ワークW1及び第二ワークW2が搬入されるワーク搬入時には、制御部7で閉鎖部材6が開動して変圧室1の貫通孔12を開口させる。それにより、受け渡し部材5が移動可能になって、第一ワークW1又は第二ワークW2のいずれか一方か若しくは両方を受け渡し部材5で受け取るとともに、受け渡し部材5から第一保持部材2又は第二保持部材3のいずれか一方か若しくは両方に受け渡す。このワーク受け渡し後は、図1(b)などに示されるように、制御部7で変圧室1の貫通孔12から受け渡し部材5を抜き出してから、閉鎖部材6が閉動して貫通孔12を気密状に閉鎖させる。それにより、変圧室1が高度な真空状態になるまで減圧可能になる。この減圧状態で、第一保持部材2又は第二保持部材3の一方若しくは両方が相対的に接近移動して、第一ワークW1と第二ワークW2が貼り合わされる。
したがって、変圧室1や貫通孔12と受け渡し部材5との間にシール部材を用いることなく受け渡し部材5を無接触で且つ無制限に移動可能なシール構造を提供することができる。
その結果、摺動部位が無いシール構造であるため、ゴミの発生によるワークの貼り合わせに悪影響や、摩耗に伴う部品交換や、圧力差の変化によるシール部材の変形を防止できて、長期に亘り安定した稼働が図れる。
さらに、受け渡し部材5をフリーで移動できるため、部品の寿命低下や、装置全体の大型化を防止できて、コストの低減化が図れる。
According to the manufacturing apparatus A for the bonding device W according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A and the like, the first work W1 and the inside of the chamber 10 in which the variable pressure chamber 1 is formed and At the time of loading the workpiece into which the second workpiece W2 is loaded, the closing member 6 is opened by the control unit 7 to open the through hole 12 of the variable pressure chamber 1. Thereby, the delivery member 5 becomes movable, and either one or both of the first work W1 and the second work W2 are received by the delivery member 5, and from the delivery member 5, the first holding member 2 or the second holding member is received. Transfer to one or both of the members 3. After the workpiece is transferred, as shown in FIG. 1B and the like, the control member 7 pulls out the transfer member 5 from the through hole 12 of the variable pressure chamber 1, and then the closing member 6 is closed to open the through hole 12. Close in an airtight manner. Accordingly, the pressure can be reduced until the variable pressure chamber 1 is in a high vacuum state. In this reduced pressure state, one or both of the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3 move relatively close together, and the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 are bonded together.
Accordingly, it is possible to provide a seal structure in which the transfer member 5 can be moved without contact and without limitation without using a seal member between the variable pressure chamber 1 or the through hole 12 and the transfer member 5.
As a result, since the seal structure has no sliding parts, it is possible to prevent adverse effects on workpiece bonding due to the generation of dust, replacement of parts due to wear, and deformation of the seal member due to changes in pressure difference. Stable operation can be achieved.
Furthermore, since the delivery member 5 can be moved freely, it is possible to prevent a reduction in the service life of parts and an increase in the size of the entire apparatus, thereby reducing costs.

特に、図1(a)(b)などに示されるように、第一保持部材2又は第二保持部材3のいずれか一方か若しくは両方は、変圧室1の貫通孔12とワーク貼り合わせ方向(Z方向)へ同軸状に配置される通孔2H,3Hを有し、受け渡し部材5は、ワーク保持用のチャック部51を有し、受け渡し用駆動部5Dによりチャック部51が貫通孔12及び通孔2H,3Hを挿通し、変圧室1に搬入された第一ワークW1又は第二ワークW2のいずれか一方か若しくは両方に向け移動して保持させ、ワーク受け渡しが完了してから、チャック部51を通孔2H,3H及び貫通孔12から抜き出し移動させることが好ましい。
この場合には、変圧室1に搬入される第一ワークW1又は第二ワークW2の一方か若しくは両方を、受け渡し部材5のチャック部51で保持して受け取った後に、受け渡し部材5のチャック部51が、通孔2H,3Hを通って第一保持部材2又は第二保持部材3の一方か若しくは両方に向け無接触で移動することにより、第一ワークW1又は第二ワークW2の一方か若しくは両方が第一保持部材2又は第二保持部材3の一方か若しくは両方に受け渡される。このワーク受け渡し後は、ワーク貼り合わせのために通孔2H,3H及び貫通孔12からチャック部51が引き出され、閉鎖部材6の閉動で変圧室1が高度な気密状態になるまで減圧される。
したがって、第一保持部材2や第二保持部材3に対して受け渡し部材5を無接触で且つ無制限に移動可能なシールをすることができる。
その結果、第一保持部材2や第二保持部材3に対する第一ワークW1や第二ワークW2の受け渡しを確実に且つ簡素な構造で行うことができ、更なる装置全体のコンパクト化と更なるコストの低減化が図れる。
In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), one or both of the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3 are connected to the through hole 12 of the variable pressure chamber 1 and the workpiece bonding direction ( ZH), and the delivery member 5 has a chuck part 51 for holding a workpiece, and the chuck part 51 is connected to the through-hole 12 and the through-hole 12D by the delivery drive part 5D. After the holes 2H and 3H are inserted and moved toward one or both of the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 carried into the variable pressure chamber 1 and held, the chuck portion 51 is completed. The through holes 2H and 3H and the through holes 12 are preferably extracted and moved.
In this case, after one or both of the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 carried into the variable pressure chamber 1 are held and received by the chuck portion 51 of the delivery member 5, the chuck portion 51 of the delivery member 5 is received. Moves through the through-holes 2H and 3H toward one or both of the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3 in a contactless manner, so that one or both of the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 are moved. Is delivered to one or both of the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3. After the workpiece is transferred, the chuck portion 51 is pulled out from the through holes 2H and 3H and the through hole 12 for bonding the workpieces, and the pressure is reduced until the variable pressure chamber 1 is in a highly airtight state by the closing member 6 being closed. .
Therefore, the transfer member 5 can be contacted with the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3 without contact and without limitation.
As a result, the delivery of the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 to the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3 can be performed reliably and with a simple structure, further downsizing the entire device and further cost. Can be reduced.

さらに、図1(a)(b)〜図4(a)(b)などに示されるように、閉鎖部材6は、変圧室1の底壁部11a又は天井部11bのいずれか一方か若しくは両方に沿ってワーク貼り合わせ方向(Z方向)と交差する方向(X方向)へ開閉動自在に設けられる蓋体61を有し、閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより蓋体61を、受け渡し部材5が抜き出し移動された貫通孔12に向け閉動させることが好ましい。
この場合には、変圧室1の貫通孔12から受け渡し部材5が抜き出された後に、閉鎖部材6の蓋体61を変圧室1の底壁部11aや天井部11bに沿ってX方向へ閉動して貫通孔12が被蓋される。
したがって、貫通孔12を確実に開閉して変圧室1を完全な密閉状態にすることができる。
その結果、簡素な構造で第一ワークW1と第二ワークW2を完全な真空状態で貼り合わせることができる。
Further, as shown in FIGS. 1A, 1B, 4A, 4B, etc., the closing member 6 is either one or both of the bottom wall portion 11a and the ceiling portion 11b of the variable pressure chamber 1. The lid 61 is provided so as to freely open and close in the direction (X direction) intersecting the workpiece laminating direction (Z direction), and the transfer member 5 is extracted and moved by the closing drive unit 6D. It is preferable to make it close toward the through-hole 12 made.
In this case, after the delivery member 5 is extracted from the through hole 12 of the variable pressure chamber 1, the lid 61 of the closing member 6 is closed in the X direction along the bottom wall portion 11a and the ceiling portion 11b of the variable pressure chamber 1. It moves and the through-hole 12 is covered.
Therefore, the through-hole 12 can be reliably opened and closed, and the variable pressure chamber 1 can be completely sealed.
As a result, the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 can be bonded together in a complete vacuum state with a simple structure.

また、図5(a)(b)に示されるように、閉鎖部材6は、変圧室1の底壁部11a又は天井部11bのいずれか一方か若しくは両方に向けて回動自在に設けられる蓋体61を有し、閉鎖用駆動部6Dにより蓋体61を、受け渡し部材5が抜き出し移動された貫通孔12に向け閉動させる場合には、変圧室1の貫通孔12から受け渡し部材5が抜き出された後に、閉鎖部材6の蓋体61を変圧室1の底壁部11aや天井部11bに向けて回動して貫通孔12が被蓋される。
したがって、貫通孔12を確実に開閉して変圧室1を完全な密閉状態にすることができる。
その結果、簡素な構造で第一ワークW1と第二ワークW2を完全な真空状態で貼り合わせることができる。
5 (a) and 5 (b), the closing member 6 is a lid that is rotatably provided toward one or both of the bottom wall portion 11a and the ceiling portion 11b of the variable pressure chamber 1. In the case where the lid 61 is moved toward the through hole 12 from which the delivery member 5 has been extracted and moved by the closing drive unit 6D, the delivery member 5 is removed from the through hole 12 of the variable pressure chamber 1. After being taken out, the cover 61 of the closing member 6 is rotated toward the bottom wall portion 11a and the ceiling portion 11b of the variable pressure chamber 1 so that the through hole 12 is covered.
Therefore, the through-hole 12 can be reliably opened and closed, and the variable pressure chamber 1 can be completely sealed.
As a result, the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 can be bonded together in a complete vacuum state with a simple structure.

次に、本発明の各実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。
この実施例1は、図6(a)(b)に示すように、受け渡し部材5の軸部52をZ方向へ移動自在に案内するためのガイド部材53を、変圧室1の貫通孔12とZ方向へ同軸状に設けたものである。
ガイド部材53は、転がりを用いた直動ガイドなどで構成され、受け渡し部材5の軸部52の外面とXY方向へ当接してZ方向のみに移動可能に支えている。変圧室1が形成されるチャンバー10の底壁部11aや天井部11bに対しガイド部材53を一体的に組み付けることで、軸部52のZ方向への移動と関係なく、貫通孔12とのZ方向へ同軸状態が保持されている。
Next, each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the guide member 53 for guiding the shaft portion 52 of the delivery member 5 to be movable in the Z direction is provided with the through hole 12 of the variable pressure chamber 1. It is provided coaxially in the Z direction.
The guide member 53 is configured by a linear guide using rolling, and supports the outer surface of the shaft portion 52 of the delivery member 5 in the XY direction so as to be movable only in the Z direction. By assembling the guide member 53 integrally with the bottom wall portion 11a and the ceiling portion 11b of the chamber 10 in which the variable pressure chamber 1 is formed, the Z with the through hole 12 is independent of the movement of the shaft portion 52 in the Z direction. A coaxial state is maintained in the direction.

図6(a)(b)に示される例では、第二チャンバー10bの外側にガイド部材53を板状部材54によって、チャンバー10の天井部11bの第二貫通孔12bとZ方向へ同一軸線状に固定配置される一体的に組み付けている。
また、その他の例として図示しないが、第一チャンバー10aや箱形のチャンバー10cに対して、ガイド部材53をチャンバー10の底壁部11aの第一貫通孔12aなどとZ方向へ同一軸線状に固定配置される一体的に組み付けることも可能である。
In the example shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the guide member 53 is placed outside the second chamber 10 b by the plate-like member 54, and is coaxial with the second through hole 12 b of the ceiling portion 11 b of the chamber 10 in the Z direction. It is assembled in one piece that is fixedly arranged.
Although not shown in the drawings as another example, the guide member 53 is aligned with the first through hole 12a of the bottom wall portion 11a of the chamber 10 in the same direction in the Z direction with respect to the first chamber 10a or the box-shaped chamber 10c. It is also possible to assemble them fixedly.

このような本発明の実施例1に係る貼合デバイスWの製造装置Aによると、受け渡し部材5の軸部52が長くなっても、ガイド部材53によりZ方向のみに移動可能に案内されるため、軸部52のZ方向への移動に伴ってそれと交差するXY方向へ振れ移動することがない。
したがって、受け渡し部材5の軸部52を変圧室1の貫通孔12や壁面などと接触せずスムーズで確実に移動させることができる。
その結果、安定性に優れるという利点がある。
According to the manufacturing apparatus A for the bonding device W according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the guide member 53 is guided so as to be movable only in the Z direction even when the shaft portion 52 of the delivery member 5 becomes long. As the shaft portion 52 moves in the Z direction, there is no wobbling movement in the XY direction that intersects with the Z portion.
