2 is a front sectional view showing a substrate processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a substrate processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the shape of the main body of the substrate processing apparatus according to the first embodiment;

1 to 3, the substrate processing apparatus according to the present embodiment may include a main body 100 and a heat generating unit 200.

The main body 100 constitutes a chamber 101 which is a closed space in which a substrate (not shown) is loaded and processed. The material of the main body 100 may be at least one of quartz, stainless steel, aluminum, graphite, silicon carbide, or aluminum oxide.

A plurality of substrates may be disposed in the chamber 101. The plurality of substrates may be disposed at regular intervals and may be supported in a substrate holder (not shown), or may be placed in a boat (not shown) and disposed inside the chamber 101.

An entrance 115, which is a passage through which the substrate is loaded / unloaded, may be formed on one surface (e.g., a front surface) of the main body 100. The entrance 115 may be formed on only one side (e.g., the front side) of the main body 100, or on the opposite side (e.g., the back side).

The door 110 may be installed on one side of the main body 100 (that is, the side on which the entrance 115 is formed). The door can be slidably mounted in the front-rear direction, the left-right direction, or the vertical direction. The door 110 can open and close the entrance 115 and can open and close the chamber 101 depending on whether the entrance 115 is open or closed. A sealing member 116 such as an O-ring is provided between the door 110 and the surface of the main body 100 where the door 115 is formed so that the door 115 is completely sealed by the door 110. [ See Fig. 4] may be interposed.

On the other hand, the reinforcing rib 120 can be coupled to the outer surface of the main body 100. The main body 100 may be damaged or deformed due to strong pressure or high temperature from the inside during the process. Therefore, the durability of the main body 100 can be improved by combining the reinforcing ribs 120 on the outer surface of the main body 100. Optionally, the reinforcing ribs 120 may be joined to only a portion of the outer surface or the outer surface.

The heat generating unit 200 includes a main heat generating unit 210 that heats the inside of the chamber 101 and functions to directly heat the substrate and an auxiliary And may include a heating unit 220.

The main heat generating unit 210 may be disposed at regular intervals in a direction perpendicular to the loading / unloading direction of the substrate (not shown), that is, in the front-rear direction of the main body 100, As shown in FIG. The auxiliary heating unit 220 is spaced vertically from the inner wall of the chamber 101 in the direction parallel to the loading / unloading direction of the substrate (not shown) And can be arranged.

The main heating unit 210 may include a plurality of heating elements 211 and terminals 212 provided at both ends of the heating elements 211. The auxiliary heating element 220 may also include a plurality of heating elements 221, And a terminal 222 provided at both ends of the heating element 221 of the heating element 221. The number of the heating elements 211 and 221 may be variously changed according to the size of the main body 100, the size and number of the substrates.

The heating elements 211 and 221 have a bar shape communicating from one side to the other side of the chamber 101 and may be formed by inserting a heating material into the quartz tube. The heating element 211 of the main heating part 210 may be communicated from the left side to the right side of the chamber 101 and the heating element 221 of the auxiliary heating part 220 may be connected to the outside of the chamber 115, And can be communicated from the front surface to the rear surface of the housing 101. The terminals 212 and 222 are supplied with power from an external power source (not shown) to generate heat from the heating elements 211 and 221.

Accordingly, the entire surface of the substrate 10 can be uniformly heated by the heat generating units 200 disposed at the upper and lower portions, thereby improving the reliability of the substrate processing process.

The main body of the conventional substrate processing apparatus generally has a cubic or rectangular parallelepiped shape. Since the front, rear, left and right sides of the body are formed perpendicular to the surface of the body, droplets (or condensed gases, substances) condensed by the gravity acting even when the material is condensed on this side can flow down. However, since the upper and lower surfaces of the body are formed parallel to the paper surface, they do not flow along the inner surface of the body if the material is condensed on this surface. That is, the droplet remains on the lower surface of the main body, and can not be discharged along the discharge port on the lower surface of the main body. In this case, in the substrate processing process where the condensed material is repeated, the inner wall of the chamber may be further contaminated by repeating evaporation and condensation, reacting with gases of other chemical components, or altering under a specific temperature environment.

3) of the main body 100 is reduced in size from the upper end BC1 of the lower portion BC to the lower end BC2 of the lower portion BC . The flat section is an xy plane and means that the width of the upper end BC1 of the lower portion BC1 of the main body 100 is larger than the width of the lower end BC2 of the lower portion BC of the main body 100 in the x-y plane. In other words, the lower surface of the main body 100 is not parallel to the paper surface, and at least one surface 100b constituting the front and rear left and right side surfaces 100a of the main body 100 and the bottom portion BC of the main body 100 are vertical And is formed to be inclined.

An angle (inclined angle) between the front, rear, left and right side surfaces 100a of the main body 100 and at least one surface 100b constituting the lower portion BC of the main body 100 may be 90 ° to 180 ° . However, if the angle is too close to 90 degrees, a condensed droplet may remain on the lower surface substantially like the conventional hexahedral body 100, and if the angle is close to 180 degrees, the height of the body 100 becomes unnecessarily high It is preferable to form an angle (a) of about 100 ° to 160 °, and more preferably an angle of 140 °.

The bottom portion BC of the main body 100 may be pyramid-shaped and the bottom portion 100a of the main body 100 may be divided into four portions, (BC) may have a quadrangular pyramid shape.

Alternatively, in order to satisfy the shape condition of the main body 100 without being a pyramid, the main body 100 may have a hexagonal shape in the forward end face. That is, it can have a hexagonal column standing up. In the present specification, a description will be given on the assumption that the main body 100 has a hexagonal front face. The hexagonal shape of the main body 100 means that the upper portion TC of the main body 100 has the same shape as the lower portion BC.

On the other hand, the surface roughness of the inner surface of the main body 100 can be made to be Ra 1.0 탆 or less so that the condensed droplets can flow down more easily. The surface roughness can be controlled by polishing. When the surface roughness Ra is 1.0 탆 or less, the effect of heat reflection on the inner surface of the main body 100 can be expected.

Since the body 100 has a shape in which the size of the flat surface area decreases from the upper end BC1 of the lower portion BC to the lower end BC2 of the lower portion BC, And the lower surface 100b of the main body 100 are formed to be inclined without being perpendicular to each other so that liquid droplets condensed on the inner surface of the main body 100 can be collected in the lower portion BC of the main body 100. [ The droplets condensed on the front, rear, left, and right inner sides of the main body 100 flow downward due to gravity, and are continuously inclined by gravity at the boundary between the front, rear, left and right side surfaces 100a and 100b of the main body 100 It is possible to flow along the lower surface 100b formed. Thus, the droplet can be collected at the lower end of the main body 100. The collected droplets can be discharged to the outside through the discharge means 130 and the pumping means (not shown) formed at the lower end of the main body 100, and can be reused or discarded.

On the other hand, the upper surface TC of the main body 100 may have a shape in which the size of the flat surface area decreases from the lower TC2 of the upper portion TC to the upper portion TC1 of the upper portion TC. In other words, the upper surface of the main body 100 is not parallel to the ground surface, and at least one surface 100c constituting the upper portion TC of the main body 100 and the front, rear, left and right side surfaces 100a of the main body 100 are perpendicular And can be formed by inclining.

An angle (inclined angle) b (angle formed by the front, rear, left and right side surfaces 100a of the main body 100 and at least one surface 100c constituting the upper portion TC of the main body 100) may be 90 ° to 180 ° . However, if the angle is too close to 90 °, a liquid droplet condensed in a substantially similar manner to the conventional hexahedral body 100 may remain on the upper surface, and if the angle is close to 180 °, the height of the body 100 may unnecessarily increase Lt; / RTI > Particularly, when the droplet condensed near 90 ° is left on the upper surface of the main body 100 and falls down on the substrate during the substrate processing process, the substrate may be contaminated. Therefore, the angle b formed by the front, rear, left and right side surfaces 100a of the main body 100 and at least one surface 100c constituting the upper surface of the main body 100 preferably has an angle of about 100 ° to 160 ° , And it is more preferable to form an angle of 140 °.

Considering that the side surface 100a of the main body 100 is composed of four surfaces in the front, back, left, and right directions, the upper portion TC of the main body 100 may be pyramid- (TC) may be in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid.

The front and rear left and right side surfaces 100a and 100b of the main body 100 have a shape in which the size of the flat area decreases from the lower end TC2 of the upper body TC to the upper end TC1 of the upper body TC, And the upper surface 100c of the main body 100 are inclined without being perpendicular to each other so that liquid droplets condensed inside at least one surface 100c constituting the upper portion TC of the main body 100 100, respectively. That is, the liquid droplets condensed on the inside of at least one surface 100c constituting the upper portion TC of the main body 100 do not directly fall down on the substrate but flow down along the inside, Passes through the side surface 100a, flows down to the lower end of the main body 100, and can be collected. The collected droplets can be discharged to the outside through the discharging means 130 and pumping means (not shown) formed at the lower end of the main body 100 and can be reused or discarded.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, the substrate processing apparatus may further include a gas supply unit 300 and a gas discharge unit 400.

The gas supply part 300 is connected to one external side (for example, the left side) of the chamber 101 (or the main body 100), and the gas discharge part 400 is connected to the chamber 101 (or the main body 100) (E.g., the right side) of the outer frame.

The gas supply unit 300 may provide a passage for supplying substrate processing gas into the interior of the chamber 101. The gas supply unit 300 includes a gas supply pipe 320 connected to the gas storage unit (not shown) and supplied with the substrate process gas, and a plurality of gas discharge pipes 310 formed at regular intervals in the gas supply pipe 320 . The gas discharge pipe 310 can be connected to the inside of the chamber 101 through the main body 100 and the substrate processing gas can be supplied to the chamber 101 through the gas discharge hole 311 formed at the end of the gas discharge pipe 310, As shown in FIG.

The gas discharge portion 400 may provide a passage for discharging the substrate processing gas inside the chamber 101 to the outside. The gas discharge unit 400 includes a gas discharge pipe 420 connected to an external gas discharging facility (not shown) for discharging substrate processing gas and a plurality of gas discharge pipes 410 ). The gas discharge pipe 410 may be connected to the inside of the chamber 101 through the main body 100 and may be connected to the outside of the chamber 101 through the gas discharge hole 411 formed at the end of the gas discharge pipe 410 Can be discharged.

When the plurality of substrates 10 are accommodated in the chamber 101, the gas discharge hole 311 (or the gas discharge pipe 310) and the gas discharge hole 411 (or the gas discharge pipe 410) It is preferable that the gas is uniformly supplied to the substrate and positioned at a distance between the substrate disposed in the chamber 101 and the substrate adjacent to the upper or lower portion so that the substrate processing gas can be easily sucked and discharged to the outside .

In the meantime, the substrate processing apparatus of the present invention may be configured such that a process cooling water (PCW) flows in order to cool the temperature of the wall of the main body 100 or the inside of the chamber 101 after completion of the substrate processing process or during the substrate processing process The cooling unit 500 may be provided on the outer surface of the main body 100. [

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate processing apparatus processes a flexible substrate used in a flexible display device.

Generally, the manufacturing process of the flexible substrate can be divided into a step of forming a flexible substrate on the non-flexible substrate, a step of forming the pattern on the flexible substrate, and a step of separating the flexible substrate from the non-flexible substrate.

The flexible substrate is formed by forming a film composed of polyimide or the like on a non-flexible substrate such as glass or plastic, curing the substrate by heat treatment, and then injecting the solvent into a substance that adheres to the non-flexible substrate and the flexible substrate, Or the adhesive material is decomposed to separate the flexible substrate from the non-flexible substrate.

At this time, the solvent component to be injected or the solvent component contained in the flexible substrate during the process of forming the flexible substrate may be volatilized and may be discharged to the outside of the chamber 101 through the gas discharge unit 400. However, A predetermined portion of the inner wall of the chamber 101 may be formed with a low temperature on the inner wall of the chamber 101 so that the material can not volatilize and be condensed due to a difference in temperature and pressure inside the chamber 101. As a result, the solvent component condensed on the inner wall of the chamber 101 may cause a problem of contaminating the chamber 101 or contaminating the substrate 10 in a subsequent process.

Accordingly, when the gas in the chamber 101 including the solvent is condensed on the inner wall of the chamber 101, the condensed droplet does not remain on the inner wall of the chamber 101 (or on the inner wall of the main body 100) (A, b) inclined to the shape of the main body 100 so as to be collected at the lower end of the main body 100 in such a manner that the main body 100 is allowed to flow down. There is a method of controlling the temperature of the inner wall of the chamber 101 so that the material does not condense on the inner wall of the chamber 101, that is, the material remains in the vaporized state. To this end, WCM, a heat medium pipe, or a refrigerant pipe must be employed, and temperature control becomes troublesome. According to the present invention, the condensed material can flow out to the outside through a simple configuration in which the shape of the main body 100 is changed, thereby keeping the chamber inner wall free from contamination, thereby improving the reliability and yield of the product have.

As an example, the material present on at least some surface of the substrate may be a volatile material, such as a solvent, and may be a material that is vaporized at 50 ° C to 250 ° C. Such a material may preferably be N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), or may be a volatile substance such as IPA, Acetone, and PGMEA (Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether Acetate).

4 is a partially enlarged perspective view of a door 110 and an entrance 115 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the door 110 may be provided with a means for controlling the temperature of the door 110. Hereinafter, the door heating unit 230, which is a wire heater and a plate heater, is assumed to be a temperature control unit of the door 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a known technology for controlling the temperature of the door 110 may be applied .

The door 110 may be installed on one surface of the main body 100 (that is, the surface on which the entrance 115 is formed) through the sealing member 116 so that the entrance 115 can be sealed. The portion IC of the main body 100 in which the drawing 110 and the entrance 115 are in contact with each other, that is, the interfacial portion IC, is increased by a temperature difference between the outside of the chamber 101 and the inside of the chamber 101, Materials, etc. may condense. Of course, condensed droplets can flow down along the inner surface of the main body 100, but there is a high possibility that a droplet will remain in the interface portion IC due to a large amount.

Therefore, by providing the door 110 with the means for regulating the temperature of the door 110, that is, the door heating body 230, the door 110 can be prevented from being in contact with the portion IC of the main body 100, Heat can be generated to maintain the temperature between 50 ° C and 250 ° C. Since the temperature of 50 to 250 占 폚 is maintained, gas and material can be vaporized on the inner wall of the chamber 101 without condensation. Thus, there is an effect that contaminants in the portion (IC) of the main body 100 where the door 110, which is likely to remain a droplet, and the entrance 115 are in contact with each other can be prevented.

Meanwhile, the substrate processing apparatus of the present invention may further comprise means for discharging the condensed gas. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to Figs. 5 and 6. Fig.

The condensed gas is condensed in the pipe of the gas supply unit 300 and is discharged into the chamber 101 together with the supply of the substrate processing gas during the substrate processing process, thereby causing contamination of the substrate.

5 (a), the gas supply unit 300 may further include a drain port 330 capable of discharging condensed gas (or condensed volatile substances) . The drain port 330 may be a passage through which condensed droplets flow, or may be connected to a pump (not shown) to have a suction function to suck air. The gas may be supplied through the gas supply pipe 320 and the condensed gas may be discharged through the drain port 330 in the gas supply unit 300.

The gas discharge unit 400 may also have a drain port (not shown) connected to the gas discharge pipe 420 in the same manner as the gas supply unit 300.

5B, since the gas discharging unit 400 serves to discharge the gas inside the chamber 101 to the outside, the gas discharging unit 400 is provided with a drain port (not shown) The gas inside the chamber 101 is discharged (g) to the outside so that the end portion 430 of the gas discharge pipe 420 can also serve as a drain port without condensation Gas (d) can be discharged to the outside.

6, the left and right sides of the chamber 101 in which at least one side of the chamber 101, specifically, the gas supply unit 300 and the gas discharge unit 400 described with reference to FIG. 5 are disposed, A plurality of exhaust holes 140 (140a, 140b, 140c) may be formed on the side excluding the side surface. The discharge hole 140 may be connected to an externally disposed pumping means (not shown) to effectively discharge the condensed material inside the chamber 101.

100b, and 100c of the main body 100, although the liquid crystal condensed in the inside 100a, 100b, and 100c of the main body 100 may flow downward along the inside 100a, 100b, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > 100c. ≪ / RTI > Accordingly, even if a plurality of discharge holes 140 are formed on the inner surfaces 100a, 100b and 100c so that the gas is condensed and remains on the inner wall of the chamber 101, The contamination of the inner wall of the chamber 101 can be prevented more effectively, and the reliability and yield of the product can be further increased.
