Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a substrate transfer unit and a baking apparatus having the same, and more particularly, to a substrate transfer unit and a baking apparatus having the same using a roller.
In general, a flat substrate such as a glass substrate is used to manufacture a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display, and various unit processes for forming circuit patterns on the glass substrate may be performed. For example, a deposition process for forming a film on the glass substrate, an etching process for forming the film into desired patterns, a cleaning process for removing impurities on the glass substrate, a drying process for drying the glass substrate, and the like. This can be done.
The substrate may be transferred to a chamber in which the unit processes are performed by a substrate transfer unit to perform the unit processes, or the unit processes may be performed while being transferred by the substrate transfer unit in the chamber.
The substrate transfer unit includes a rotating shaft that is rotated by a driving unit and a plurality of rollers fixed to the rotating shaft to support the substrate and transferring the substrate in the conveying direction according to the rotation of the rotating shaft.
However, it may slip on the substrate and the rollers and the substrate transfer unit may not accurately transfer the substrate.
O-rings may be provided along the outer circumferential surface of the rollers to prevent slippage of the substrate and increase friction with the substrate. However, when the substrate transfer unit is used in a high temperature condition such as a baking apparatus, the material of the O-ring is limited, and the price of the O-ring becomes high.
The present invention provides a substrate transfer unit for transferring a substrate without slipping at a high temperature condition.
The present invention provides a baking apparatus having the substrate transfer unit.
The substrate transfer unit according to the present invention is arranged in a horizontal direction and is mounted to the plurality of rotating shafts extending in another horizontal direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction and the rotating shafts to support the substrate, and according to the rotation of the rotating shaft. The substrate may include a plurality of rollers each having a plurality of vacuum holes for adsorbing the substrate along a contact surface with the substrate to transfer the substrate and to prevent the substrate from slipping.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate transfer unit may further include a vacuum providing unit connected to the vacuum holes and providing a vacuum force to the vacuum holes.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, each of the rotating shafts has an inner space connected to the vacuum holes, the vacuum providing unit may be connected to the vacuum holes through the inner space.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, each of the rollers may have a groove passing through the vacuum holes on the outer peripheral surface.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate transfer unit may be connected to the rotating shafts, and may further include a driving unit for rotating the rotating shafts.
The baking apparatus according to the present invention is arranged in a horizontal direction and is mounted in a plurality of rotating shafts extending in another horizontal direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction and the rotating shafts to support the substrate, and the substrate is rotated according to the rotation of the rotating shaft. The substrate transfer unit and the substrate transfer unit including a plurality of rollers each having a plurality of vacuum holes for adsorbing the substrate along a contact surface with the substrate to prevent the substrate from slipping. And a heater unit for heating the substrate.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heater unit may include a first heater disposed between the rotating shafts.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the heater unit may further include a second heater provided on the rotating shaft.
The substrate transfer unit according to the present invention has a vacuum hole formed in the roller. Since the roller transports the substrate by vacuum suction, it is possible to prevent the substrate from slipping. Thus, the transfer accuracy of the substrate transfer unit can be improved.
In addition, since the roller adsorbs the substrate using a vacuum, the substrate transfer unit can be used even at a high temperature condition.
Hereinafter, a substrate transfer unit and a baking apparatus having the same according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As the inventive concept allows for various changes and numerous embodiments, particular embodiments will be illustrated in the drawings and described in detail in the text. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific disclosed form, it should be understood to include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutes included in the spirit and scope of the present invention. Like reference numerals are used for like elements in describing each drawing. In the accompanying drawings, the dimensions of the structures are shown in an enlarged scale than actual for clarity of the invention.
The terms first, second, etc. may be used to describe various components, but the components should not be limited by the terms. The terms are used only for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be referred to as the second component, and similarly, the second component may also be referred to as the first component.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, the terms "comprise" or "have" are intended to indicate that there is a feature, number, step, action, component, part, or combination thereof described in the specification, and one or more other features. It is to be understood that the present invention does not exclude the possibility of the presence or the addition of numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
Unless defined otherwise, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Terms such as those defined in the commonly used dictionaries should be construed as having meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of the related art and shall not be construed in ideal or excessively formal meanings unless expressly defined in this application. Do not.
