BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus, and more particularly, to a process chamber structure of a flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus in which the process chamber is configured in a multilayer structure and the process chamber for repair and the like is easily made.
In general, a device for manufacturing a semiconductor or a flat panel display is provided with a chamber for performing surface treatment of a substrate (semiconductor wafer, glass, etc.), and the substrate is brought in or taken out of the chamber. In order to provide a transport robot for transporting the substrate, the chamber is provided with a gate slit (Gate Slit), which is an entrance / exit for entrance / export of the substrate, to be opened and closed by a gate valve.
The chamber, the transfer robot, and the gate valve are applied in a similar manner to the semiconductor or flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus. Hereinafter, the chamber, the transfer robot, the gate valve, and the related matters are related to the flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus. Let's take a look at what is applied to.
The flat panel display devices include liquid crystal displays, plasma display panels, and organic light emitting diodes.
The flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing such a flat panel display device is mainly a vacuum processing method, the flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus is an in-line type (In-Line type) in order to reduce the tact time for productivity improvement ) Is changing from cluster type to cluster type.
The cluster type is a flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus configured to process two or more process chambers by connecting two or more process chambers to one load lock chamber to be described below.
1 to 3, a brief description will be made of a cluster type flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus.
The flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus includes a

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a process chamber structure of a flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus capable of processing a larger amount of substrate in a limited space by forming a process chamber in a multilayer structure. have.
In another aspect, the present invention is to provide a process chamber structure of a flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus that can be easily assembled and disassembled for repair, etc. by configuring the process chamber in a drawer type and can be easily separated from the gate device There is a purpose.
The process chamber structure of the flat panel display device manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention for realizing the above object is a chamber frame having a multi-layer structure; A plurality of process chambers located within each layer of the chamber frame to process the surface of the substrate therein; It is characterized in that it comprises a chamber carrying mechanism which is slidably installed in the inward and outward direction through the open portion of the chamber frame to move the process chamber from the chamber frame in a drawer type.
Here, the chamber frame is connected to a plurality of vertical supports vertically erected to the edge portion of the process chamber, and horizontally between the plurality of vertical supports to divide each layer and support the chamber ejection mechanism to be slidable. It is preferable to include a horizontal support.
Each of the process chambers is connected through a gate device between a transfer chamber for transferring the substrate from or to the load lock chamber for loading and unloading the substrate.
In this case, the gate device is provided with a gate passage between each of the process chamber and the transfer chamber, the process chamber and the gate passage is configured to be assembled and disassembled by mutually coupling the fastening member on the outside of the process chamber. Do.
More preferably, the gate passage is formed with a flange portion extending outwardly in a portion fixed to the process chamber, and the fastening member is coupled inwardly of the process chamber at an outer side of the flange portion so that the gate passage and the process chamber are formed. Can be configured to assemble with each other.
The chamber discharging mechanism includes a chamber tray on which each process chamber is mounted, and a tray support for supporting the chamber tray vertically connected to the floor from the chamber tray, as well as being slidably coupled to the chamber frame. It is desirable to be.
At this time, the chamber discharge mechanism, it is preferable that the tray tray positioned in the vertical direction and the chamber tray located in the horizontal direction, is configured to have a 'b' shaped side structure.
Preferably, a roller is provided between the chamber tray and the chamber frame to move in a rolling motion when the chamber tray is moved.
In addition, it is preferable that a roller is installed at the lower end of the tray support.
