Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field to which the Invention belongs The present invention relates to a system for performing imaging and other processing on substrates such as glass substrates or semiconductor wafers. Prior art In forming a fine wiring pattern on a substrate such as a glass substrate, various processes such as etching or ion doping are performed through a mask of the fine pattern. Therefore, to form the mask with the fine pattern, a photoresist film is formed on the substrate surface, and the photoresist film is selectively exposed, and a developing solution is supplied to the exposed photoresist film. If it is a negative photoresist The non-exposed part is dissolved in the agent film, and a fine pattern is formed after the exposed part is dissolved in the case of a positive photoresist film. As for the development of the large-size corner substrate for LCD, the development methods are roughly divided into two types, one is Rotary imaging, the other is an in-line imaging system. The rotary imaging system is a chuck that holds the exposed substrate in a rotating cup, and the developing liquid is held on the surface of the substrate in a stationary state. After a specified time of development, the substrate is rotated by the chuck and the display is rotated by centrifugal force. The liquid image system is suitable for fine pattern formation because it develops images in a stationary state. In addition, the in-line imaging system is a system that transports the substrate, sprays the developing solution to the surface of the substrate from a nozzle arranged above the transport path, and wets and dries the substrate while conveying the substrate. Since the substrate is not rotated, the device configuration is simple. (Please read the notes on the back-: Write this page first) • Binding. The size of the bound paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) -5- 200300875 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) [ Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Please read the intro items first and then fill in this page. For the rotary imaging system, the turbulence during the rotation or the damage of the substrate itself, or even the enlargement of the entire device, will cause significant problems, making the substrate large. There are limits to how it can be changed. On the other hand, with the in-line development system, the development is carried out while the substrate is being transported. Therefore, it is easy to cause uneven development due to vibration. In addition, the physical force caused by the spray nozzle will cause uniform line width after development. Sexual instability. Therefore, it is also considered that the development is performed while the substrate is stationary, but because the development time is relatively long, the in-line development system needs to cooperate with the substrate in the development and stop the other substrates. Efficient means for solving problems Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to solve the above-mentioned problems, the substrate processing system of the present invention includes: a substrate transfer section for transferring substrates, and a substrate processing section for processing substrates. It is characterized in that the substrate transfer unit and the substrate processing unit are arranged so as to overlap in a plan view, and a transfer device for transferring substrates between the substrate transfer unit and the substrate processing unit is arranged in the middle of the substrate transfer unit. With this configuration, processing such as development can be performed efficiently with the substrate stationary. The number of the substrate processing units may be one, or may be a structure in which two substrates are arranged at two positions spaced apart from each other on the upstream side and the downstream side along the substrate transfer unit, or may be arranged along the substrate transfer unit on the upstream side and the substrate transfer unit.

Description of the invention (3) Or it is arranged along the substrate conveying section on the upstream side and downstream side. At the opening, there are a total of 4 structures in the vertical space of the substrate conveying section. In addition, the specific structure of the substrate processing section is designed with a developing solution coating nozzle that supplies a developing solution on the substrate surface. And a developing solution recovery nozzle that recovers the developing solution from the substrate surface. In addition, the developer application nozzle and developer recovery nozzle may be configured to move while maintaining a certain distance from the substrate surface. In particular, in the case where the system is applied to development, it is preferable to provide a circulation flow path for applying the developing solution recovered by the developing solution recovery nozzle and then applying the developing solution from the developing solution application nozzle.

Description of the Invention (7) The wetting treatment section of the wetting liquid can of course realize the miniaturization of the system. Advantageous Effects of Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since a substrate in transit is transferred to a substrate processing unit for development and processing by a transfer device, it is not necessary to stop the transfer of other substrates during processing, and it is because the substrate is in a stationary state. Since the treatment is performed, the uniformity of the treatment can be improved, and the substrate transfer unit and the substrate processing unit can be arranged in an overlapping pattern in a plan view, and the entire system can be miniaturized.
