い。The substrate sequentially undergoes various processes to form a circuit pattern on its surface to become a mask substrate, from which ICs are manufactured by a projection method. in this way,
The mask substrate is the base of the IC, so if there are flaws or dust on its surface, it will cause defects in all manufactured ICs and have a very large effect. It is generally accepted that contact with surfaces should be avoided as much as possible when a workpiece is loaded/unloaded/transferred between inspection devices. In addition, strict measures must be taken to prevent dust generation from various processing/inspection devices or their accompanying attachment/detachment/transfer mechanisms.

がある。[Effects of the Invention] The rectangular mask substrate transfer mechanism according to the present invention eliminates the defects caused by warping in the conventional belt method mentioned at the beginning.
The problem of dust, the complexity of the mechanism in the storage cassette drawer stand, and the difficulty of changing setups are all eliminated by υF. That is, since the method uses a V-shaped mounting table and tapered rollers to contact only the ridgeline of the workpiece and transfer the workpiece without contacting the front and back surfaces, there is no risk of degrading the quality of the workpiece. In addition, both the workpiece mounting table 2 and the tapered roller 3 can accommodate workpieces of various sizes, so there is no need to change setups, and they have excellent performance due to their simple principles and simple structure. There is one major contribution to conductor production technology.
