Description
The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a substrate processing apparatus for performing a wet process on a substrate using a chemical liquid.
Generally, a flat panel display is used to display processed information in an information processing device. Examples of the flat panel display include a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display (PDP), and an organic light emitting diode (OLED). Can be.
The flat panel display is manufactured by performing various unit processes for forming circuit patterns on the glass substrate having a large area. For example, the circuit patterns may be manufactured by depositing a film on a substrate and then performing a photo process, an etching process, a strip process, and the like.
Here, the strip process is a process for removing the photoresist remaining on the substrate, a wet process using a treatment liquid is used. For example, the strip process may be performed by spraying a strip solution (eg, a treating solution) for removing photoresist onto a horizontally transferred substrate.
The apparatus for the strip process may have a structure in which a plurality of processing units are arranged in series to perform a continuous wet process on a substrate, and the processing units may spray strip solution or pure water onto a substrate.
As such, in a configuration in which a plurality of processing units are used to inject a processing liquid such as strip solution or pure water onto the substrate, the substrate is transferred and the processing liquids used between the processing units are mixed with each other as the process proceeds continuously. Occurs. In order to prevent this, an air curtain unit for injecting air to the substrate may be provided at the inlet and outlet sides of each processing unit.
However, as the air curtain unit is provided at the inlet and outlet of each processing unit individually, the structure becomes complicated, and vortices are generated between the air curtain units disposed at the inlet and outlet sides of the processing units adjacent to each other and disposed adjacent to each other. There is a problem in that the inflow of the treatment liquid can not be effectively suppressed to generate a process defect.
Therefore, one problem to be solved through preferred embodiments of the present invention is to simplify the structure of the air curtain unit for injecting air to the substrate for the inlet and outlet sides of each processing unit in a substrate processing apparatus having a plurality of processing units It is to provide a substrate processing apparatus that can improve the efficiency of the installation space and reduce the cost.
In order to achieve the above object of the present invention, the substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a first processing unit, a second processing unit, and a first air curtain unit. The first processing unit wet-processes the substrate using the processing liquid. The second processing unit is disposed in one direction of the first processing unit, receives the substrate processed by the first processing unit, and continuously wets the substrate. The first air curtain unit is disposed between the first processing unit and the second processing unit, and used in the first processing unit and the second processing unit to prevent mixing of the processing liquid remaining on the substrate. And inject air into the substrate so as to have an inclination angle with respect to the opposite direction of the one direction.
Here, according to an embodiment, the air curtain unit may include a body, a first supply flow path, a first supply pipe, a second supply flow path, and a second supply pipe. The first supply flow path is formed in the body, the first slot is provided at the front end to inject air to have an inclination angle with respect to the one direction. The first supply pipe is connected to the first supply flow path and supplies air provided from an external supply source to the first supply flow path. The second supply flow path is formed in the body, the second slot is provided at the front end to inject air to have an inclination angle with respect to the opposite direction of the one direction. The second supply pipe is connected to the second supply flow path and supplies air provided from an external supply source to the second supply flow path.
According to another embodiment, the air curtain unit sprays the air so that the inclination angle of the air injected to the one direction and the inclination angle of the air injected to the opposite direction of the one direction have angles symmetrical to each other based on a vertical line, respectively. can do.
According to yet another embodiment, a processing unit for spraying the processing liquid into the transfer unit for horizontally transporting the substrate in the one direction and the substrate horizontally transported in the one direction in the first processing unit and the second processing unit; Each injection unit may be provided.
According to yet another embodiment, the substrate processing apparatus may further include a second air curtain unit and a second air curtain unit. The second air curtain unit is disposed at an inlet side of the first processing unit into which the substrate is introduced, and injects air to the substrate to have an inclination angle with respect to the opposite direction of the one direction. The third air curtain unit is disposed at an outlet side of the second processing unit from which the substrate is carried out, and blows air to the substrate to have an inclination angle with respect to the one direction.
In the substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention configured as described above, one air curtain unit includes a first air curtain unit configured to prevent mixing of the processing liquid between the first processing unit and the second processing unit performing the wet process on the substrate using the processing liquid. By injecting air to the substrate in both the processing unit and the second processing unit, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.
In addition, the air is injected in both the first processing unit and the second processing unit in one air curtain unit, the distance between the injection position of the air is narrowed to suppress the vortices that can occur between the air injected adjacent, the process accordingly By improving defects, process efficiency can be improved.
