Referring to FIG. 1, a substrate processing apparatus 100 according to embodiments of the present invention may include a load port 200, a substrate transfer module 300, a load lock chamber 400, a transfer chamber 500, and a process chamber ( 700).

The load port 200 has a container (not shown) loaded with a plurality of substrates to be processed in the process chambers 700 to be described later by an automation system (not shown). The container is a means for accommodating a plurality of substrates in which the same process is performed in a predetermined number of units and transferring the same to a process facility such as each process chamber. For example, a front opening integrated pod (FOUP) is used. do.

The substrate transfer module 300 is disposed adjacent to one side of the load port 200. For example, the substrate transfer module 300 includes a transfer unit 310. The transfer unit 310 carries in and out the substrate W loaded in the container of the load port 200.

The load lock chamber 400 is disposed on one side of the substrate transfer module 300. The load lock chamber 400 includes a loading chamber in which substrates transferred to the process chambers 700 are temporarily placed, and an unloading chamber in which substrates received from the process chambers 700 are temporarily placed after the process is completed. When the substrate is transferred into the load lock chamber 400, a controller (not shown) decompresses the interior of the load lock chamber 400 to an initial low vacuum state, whereby the foreign material is transferred to the process chambers 700 and the transfer chamber. It can be prevented to flow into the 500.

The transfer chamber 500 is disposed on one side of the load lock chamber 400. The transfer chamber 500 includes a transfer robot 600 disposed therein.

The transfer robot 600 includes a robot body 610, a robot arm 620, an arm blade 630, and an alignment unit 640.

The robot body 610 is disposed in one region of the transfer chamber 500.

The robot arm 620 is formed on the upper surface of the robot body 610 and extends in one direction from the center portion with respect to the center portion of the robot body 610. Specifically, the robot arm 620 has a central axis connected to the upper center portion of the robot body 610. For example, the robot arm 620 may transfer the substrate to the plurality of process chambers 700. The robot arm 620 is rotatably formed with respect to the central axis in order to transfer substrates to the process chambers 700. That is, the robot arm 620 is coupled to be rotatable based on the central portion of the robot body 610.

The arm blade 630 extends from the end of the robot arm 620. The arm blade 630 has, for example, a tong shape for supporting a substrate. Alternatively, the arm blade 630 may have various shapes for supporting the substrate. For example, the arm blade 630 may have a linear shape formed extending in the longitudinal direction of the robot arm 620. In addition, the arm blade 630 may have a circular shape similar to the shape and size of the substrate to sufficiently support the substrate.

The alignment unit 640 is disposed in one region of the arm blade 630. In embodiments of the present invention, the alignment unit 640 rotates the substrate in a predetermined direction while transferring the substrate so that the substrate is directed in a desired direction. Therefore, an aligner (not shown) for rotating or moving the substrate to face in a predetermined direction is not separately disposed, and the alignment portion 640 disposed on the transfer robot 600 aligns the substrate, thereby reducing the arrangement space of the devices. This can reduce the overall foot-print.

The alignment unit 640 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

The process chambers 700 may be provided with a plurality of chambers for performing various substrate processes. For example, process chambers 700 may include a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) chamber configured to supply reactant gases for deposition of a material film on a substrate, an etching chamber configured to supply gas for etching of the deposited material film, or a photo process. An ashing chamber or the like configured to remove the photoresist layer remaining on the substrate.

2 is a perspective view illustrating the transfer robot of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are plan views illustrating a process of aligning a substrate by the alignment unit of FIG. 2.

2 to 4, the transfer robot 600 includes a robot body 610, a robot arm 620, an arm blade 630, and an alignment unit 640.

The robot body 610 is disposed in one region of the transfer chamber 500. The robot body 610 may further include driving means (not shown) for driving the robot arm 620. The driving means may be made of a driving means such as a stepping motor. The robot body 610 may transmit power to the robot arm 620 to rotate the robot arm 620 or extend its length.

The robot arm 620 is formed on the upper surface of the robot body 610, the robot arm 620 has a central axis connected to the central portion of the upper surface of the robot body 610. For example, the robot arm 620 is rotatably formed about the central axis to transfer the substrate to the plurality of process chambers 700. That is, the robot arm 620 is coupled to be rotatable based on the central portion of the robot body 610.

The robot arm 620 carries a substrate having a notch 622. For example, the robot arm 620 may rotate based on the upper center portion of the robot body and extend the arm of the robot arm 620 to transfer the substrate to the set process chamber 700. Here, the notch 622 refers to a specific mark on a portion of the substrate in order to display the set direction of the substrate. In embodiments of the present invention, the notch 622 may be formed by removing a portion of the edge of the substrate with a letter 'V'. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, a predetermined direction of the substrate may be displayed by using a substrate flat zone in which a portion of an edge of the substrate is flat to mark a specific point of the substrate.

The arm blade 630 extends from the end of the robot arm 620. In embodiments of the present invention, the arm blade 630 has a tong shape for supporting the substrate. Alternatively, the arm blade 630 may have various shapes for supporting the substrate.

The arm blade 630 has a seating surface 632 for seating the substrate. For example, the seating surface 632 interviews a portion of the lower surface of the substrate to seat the substrate. Here, the seating surface 632 may be made of a flat surface to seat the substrate. For example, the arm blade 630 may further include a vacuum suction unit (not shown) for stably supporting the substrate. The vacuum adsorption unit may support the substrate by vacuum adsorption using the supplied vacuum. For example, the vacuum suction unit may be disposed in the form of a plurality of vacuum holes (not shown) on the upper surface of the seating surface 632 to stably support the substrate. Accordingly, the arm blade 630 may support the substrate more stably by using the seating surface 632 and / or the vacuum suction unit.

The arm blade 630 further includes an alignment edge portion 634 disposed at an end connected to the robot arm 620. That is, the alignment edge portion 634 is formed at the site where the alignment arm 620 is interviewed. The alignment edge portion 634 is formed to protrude upward from the seating surface 632 of the arm blade 630. For example, the alignment edge portion 634 aligns the substrate seated on the seating surface 632 of the arm blade 630. The alignment edge portion 634 interviews a portion of the outer surface of the substrate to be seated to fix the substrate. The alignment edge portion 634 may have a curved shape corresponding to the outer surface of the substrate.

The alignment portion 640 is disposed on the seating surface 632 of the arm blade 630. For example, the alignment unit 640 may be formed in a size corresponding to the size of the seating surface 632. As shown, the alignment portion 640 has the shape of a circle. This is for the alignment unit 640 to uniformly support the lower surface of the substrate. In contrast, the alignment unit 640 may have various shapes as long as it can stably support the substrate.

Meanwhile, when the alignment unit 640 is disposed on the seating surface 632, the height may vary between some regions of the seating surface 632 on which the alignment unit 640 is disposed and the remaining regions. That is, the area of the seating surface 632 in which the alignment part 640 is disposed is formed to protrude more than the remaining area. Therefore, in order to maintain the entire surface of the seating surface 632, when forming the seating surface 632, an area where the alignment unit 640 is to be formed may be lower than that of the remaining areas. Although not shown, the upper surface of the alignment portion 640 and the upper surface of the seating surface 632 may have substantially the same height. Therefore, the substrate seated on the seating surface 632 and the alignment unit 640 can be stably supported.

In embodiments of the present invention, the alignment unit 640 rotates and aligns the substrate. Specifically, the alignment unit 640 rotates the substrate in a predetermined direction while transferring the substrate so that the substrate is directed in a desired direction. For example, when the substrate transferred from the outside is seated on the seating surface 632 and the alignment portion 640, the substrate may not be seated in the desired direction. At this time, the alignment unit 640 rotates the substrate in a set direction to align the substrate in a desired direction. For example, when the notch 622 of the substrate faces a direction other than the set direction, the alignment unit 640 rotates the substrate in a predetermined direction to align the substrate so that the notch 622 faces the set direction. . For example, the notch 622 may be set toward the alignment edge 634 when the substrate is seated on the seating surface 632 of the arm blade 630. At this time, when the notch portion 622 of the substrate seated on the seating surface 632 faces in a direction other than the set direction, the alignment portion 640 so that the notch portion 622 faces the direction of the alignment edge portion 624. ) May rotate the substrate. Thus, the substrates may be aligned in a set direction to improve the efficiency of the process for the substrate in subsequent processes. Furthermore, there is no need to separately configure an aligner (not shown) for aligning the substrate, thereby reducing the cost of the part and utilizing the space efficiently to reduce the overall footprint.

The transfer robot 600 may further include a driving unit 650 for rotating the alignment unit 640. The driving unit 650 is disposed at a position adjacent to the alignment unit 640 and connected to the alignment unit 640. For example, when the alignment unit 640 rotates the substrate to align the substrate, the driving unit 650 provides a driving force for the alignment unit 640 to rotate.

In other embodiments of the invention, the transfer robot 600 may include an alignment member (not shown) for aligning the substrate. The alignment member may comprise a notch stopper (not shown) and drive means (not shown). The notch stopper may be formed to correspond to the size and shape of the notch 622 to be inserted into the notch 622 of the substrate. The driving means may rotate the notch stopper inserted in the notch 622 in a predetermined direction. Therefore, when the direction of the substrate seated on the seating surface 632 of the arm blade 630 is different from the set direction, the notch stopper may be inserted into the notch portion 622 of the substrate. In addition, the driving means may rotate the notch stopper in a predetermined direction to align the substrate toward the set direction.

In addition, the transfer robot 600 may further include a sensor unit (not shown) for sensing whether the substrate faces the set direction. The sensor unit may be arranged to be connected to the driving unit 650. The sensor unit inputs a sensing signal to the driving unit 650 when the substrate is not aligned in the set direction, and the driving unit 650 receiving the sensing signal rotates the alignment unit 640 in a predetermined direction to rotate the substrate in the set direction. You can sort by.
