Description
The present invention relates to a holder stage. More specifically, the glass substrate is holder so that the glass substrate and the holder on which the glass substrate is mounted can be smoothly loaded in the boat inside the chamber in order to perform the heat treatment process on the glass substrate to crystallize the amorphous silicon into polysilicon. It relates to a holder stage for precisely aligning the position of the glass substrate and the holder when mounted on.
Large-area substrate processing systems used in the manufacture of flat panel displays can be broadly classified into deposition apparatuses and annealing apparatuses.
The deposition apparatus is a device that is responsible for forming a transparent conductive layer, an insulating layer, a metal layer, or a silicon layer, which constitute a core component of a flat panel display, such as low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) or plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). There are physical vapor deposition devices such as chemical vapor deposition devices and sputtering. In addition, the annealing device is a device that is responsible for the subsequent heat treatment step for crystallization, phase change, and the like after the deposition process.
For example, in the case of LCD, a typical deposition apparatus includes a silicon deposition apparatus for depositing amorphous silicon corresponding to an active material of a thin film transistor (TFT) on a glass substrate, and a representative annealing apparatus. Furnace includes a silicon crystallization apparatus for crystallizing amorphous silicon deposited on a glass substrate into polysilicon.
In general, both the deposition process and the annealing process require the substrate to be heat treated to a predetermined temperature. In order to perform such a heat treatment process, a process of loading and unloading the substrate into a chamber in which the substrate can be heated should be performed.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, in order to perform the heat treatment process by accurately aligning the glass substrate and the holder when mounting the glass substrate in the holder mounted on the holder stage before loading the glass substrate into the chamber An object of the present invention is to provide a holder stage for smoothly moving a glass substrate.
In order to achieve the above object, the holder stage according to the present invention, in order to prevent the glass substrate is deformed during the heat treatment process, the holder is mounted so that the glass substrate is loaded in the chamber seated on the holder and the glass substrate corresponding to each holder A holder stage for aligning, An alignment unit installed to align the holder and the glass substrate corresponding to the holder at the same time; And an alignment rotating unit rotating the alignment unit. Characterized in that it comprises a.
In addition, in order to achieve the above object, the holder stage according to the present invention is a holder stage that is mounted and accommodated in the holder and the glass substrate corresponding to the holder so that the glass substrate can be loaded into the chamber while seated in the holder, An alignment part installed to align the holder and the glass substrate; And an alignment rotating unit for rotating the alignment unit.
According to the present invention configured as described above, when mounting the substrate in the holder loaded on the holder stage, the holder and the substrate are aligned in a predetermined position so as not to interfere with other components when transferring the substrate and the holder for subsequent processing. It is effective to make the progress of the process smoothly by accurately conveying without.
Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
