Abstract
The substrate transfer unit of the substrate processing apparatus includes a base, a pair of posts, and a plurality of support bars. Posts are provided on the base spaced apart by a distance greater than the width of the substrate to pass through the substrate. The support bars are fixed to be spaced apart by a predetermined interval along the vertical direction of the posts on opposite sides of the posts, and support the substrate so that the substrates are stacked in the vertical direction.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a substrate transfer unit and a substrate processing apparatus having the same, and more particularly, to a substrate transfer unit and a substrate processing apparatus having the same, for carrying out a processing process for the substrate.
In general, the liquid crystal display device and the solar cell device are formed by repeatedly performing unit processes such as a deposition process, a photo process, an etching process, and a cleaning process on a substrate such as glass. The above processes are each performed in a substrate processing apparatus.
According to the related art, the substrate processing apparatus is provided with a load lock chamber in which the substrates are waiting, a process chamber in which a process for the substrate is performed, and a space between the load lock chamber and the process chamber to provide a space for transferring the substrates. It includes a transfer chamber. The transfer chamber is provided with a substrate transfer robot that transfers the substrates of the load lock chamber to the process chamber or transfers the substrates of the process chamber to the load lock chamber.
Since the substrate processing apparatus includes the process chamber, the transfer chamber, and the load lock chamber, the layout of the substrate processing apparatus is long and takes up a lot of space. In addition, the layout of the substrate processing apparatus is long, which takes a long time for the substrate to be transferred from the load lock chamber to the process chamber. Therefore, the process efficiency of the substrate processing apparatus can be lowered.
The present invention provides a substrate transfer unit that is easy to mount a substrate.
The present invention provides a substrate processing apparatus having the substrate transfer unit.
The substrate transfer unit according to the present invention has a base and a pair of posts provided on the base spaced apart by a distance larger than the width of the substrate so that the substrate passes and the upper and lower sides of the posts on opposite sides of the posts. A plurality of support bars may be fixed to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance along a direction and support the substrate so that the substrate is stacked in the vertical direction.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the posts are provided to be movable in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the base.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, each post is fixed to the first post and the support bar provided in the base, it can be connected to the first post to be movable in the vertical direction.
A substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a process chamber providing a space for processing a plurality of substrates, a transfer chamber provided at one side of the process chamber, and providing a space for transferring the substrates, and an interior of the transfer chamber. And a substrate transfer unit configured to transfer the substrates to the process chamber or to transfer the substrates from the process chamber, wherein the substrate transfer unit includes a base disposed on a bottom surface of the transfer chamber and the substrate passes therethrough. A pair of posts spaced apart by an interval greater than the width of the substrate and provided on the base to be movable in parallel with the upper surface of the base and the side surfaces of the posts facing each other along a vertical direction of the post The substrate is spaced apart by an interval, and the substrate is laminated in the vertical direction It may include a plurality of support bars for supporting.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the substrate transfer apparatus is provided on one side of the transfer chamber, further comprises a transfer arm for transferring the substrate with the substrate transfer unit, the transfer arm is space between the posts The substrates may be loaded into the support bars or unloaded from the support bars.
According to the invention, the substrate can be loaded directly into the substrate transfer unit of the transfer chamber. Therefore, the substrate processing apparatus can be configured as a process chamber and a transfer chamber without a load lock chamber in which the substrate is waiting. Therefore, the layout of the substrate processing apparatus can be reduced to reduce the space occupied by the substrate processing apparatus.
In addition, the substrate may be transferred to the process chamber immediately after loading the substrate in the substrate transfer unit, thereby reducing the time required to transfer the substrate to the process chamber. Therefore, the process efficiency of the said substrate processing apparatus can be improved.
Hereinafter, a substrate transfer unit and a substrate processing 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.

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 invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, the terms "comprises", "having", and the like are used to specify that a feature, a number, a step, an operation, an element, a part or a combination thereof is described in the specification, But do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, 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.
