[Prior Art] The work of manufacturing a semiconductor device, and the manufacture of a flat panel display of a liquid crystal device, a coffee maker, a rainbow device, etc. The substrate transfer device is provided such that a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer or a glass plate is transported, and a film forming device, a hemiplegic device, a test device, and various transfer devices are used between the film forming device, the hemiplegic device, and the like. The transfer of the substrate. In the above-mentioned case, the substrate is transported in a state in which the substrate is accommodated in a plurality of substrates (see Patent Document). In recent years, large-sized substrates having flat panel displays such as liquid crystal televisions have also been enlarged. Therefore, the storage for accommodating the substrate is also increased in size and weight, and the transport speed is lowered, thereby causing, for example, an increase in the inventory of unfinished products, which makes efficient transport difficult. In this case, the single-piece transfer of the substrate at a high speed is carried out one by one (see Patent Document 1). (Patent Document 1) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 9-58844 (Summary of the Invention) (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) 318994 5 200814224 ^ However, in the case of transporting the substrate in a single piece as compared with the case of transporting the cookware The number of shipments will increase. Therefore, in order to achieve the same processing speed as the conventional one or the like, it is necessary to transport the substrate at a higher speed. In particular, the transfer speed of the substrate between the main conveyor belt and the branch conveyor and the belt which are horizontally divergent from the main conveyor belt is extremely important in order to achieve the substrate transport speed. Therefore, it is desirable to have a technique for increasing the transfer speed of the substrate between the main conveyor belt and the branch conveyor belt. Further, in the substrate transfer apparatus which transports the glass sheet in the early stage, the substrate may be transferred between the main conveyance belt and the branch conveyer belt without changing the orientation with respect to the traveling direction. In a conventional substrate transport apparatus that transports a substrate in a cooker and transports it, for example, when the substrate autonomous transport belt is transferred to the branch conveyor without changing the orientation with respect to the traveling direction, it is transported to the main transport. The transfer of the cookware on the belt is temporarily stopped, and the transfer is carried out to the branch conveyor after the cookware is rotated. However, in the substrate transfer apparatus that transports the substrate in a single chip, when the substrate is transferred in the same manner, the step of stopping the substrate transfer and the step of transferring the stopped substrate to the branch conveyor are necessary. It takes time to transfer the substrate between the main conveyor belt and the divergent conveyor belt. (Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to improve the transfer of a substrate between a main conveyor belt and a branch conveyor belt without changing the traveling direction of the substrate. The substrate transfer speed between the main conveyor belt and the divergent conveyor belt. 6 318994 200814224 In order to achieve the above object, the substrate transfer apparatus of the present invention has: == a suspected system for monolithic transport of substrates; a divergent conveyor belt is self-variant; and a substrate interface is maintained (Unchanging the horizontal rotation of the board) "One side of the opposite direction = the direction of the direction of the Dingjin side, the side is sent to the transfer of the remaining self-property conveyor belt to the divergent transmission 'π2 or from the divergent conveyor belt to the main wheel The belt or the substrate is moved (four) to be placed in the transfer from the main conveyor belt to the divergent conveyor belt when the divergent conveyor belt is delivered to the main wheel to the riding board, and the parenting portion can be maintained (not changed) relative to In the state in which the substrate travels in the direction of the moon, the substrate-surface is rotated horizontally, and the substrate is transferred to the substrate 0, and the substrate is transported by the current month. The substrate transfer portion can be configured as follows: The head ' is for holding the outer edge of the substrate; the drive port '糸 rotates the head horizontally about a predetermined axis of rotation; and the movement=.' connects the end to the head and connects the other end In the drive and the substrate transfer of the present invention The feeding device may be configured to have a support portion that supports the substrate during the transfer of the substrate by the US = parent portion. In the substrate transfer device of the present invention, the support portion may be employed. The substrate is transported by shrinking air to support and support the substrate. Next, the substrate transfer method of the present invention is carried out by the main conveyance belt by the substrate 仃 and is maintained in the traveling direction with respect to the substrate. In a state in which the substrate on the main conveyor belt is horizontally rotated, 318994 7 200814224 - the substrate is transferred from the main conveyor belt to the horizontally divergent conveyor belt. ^ By the substrate transport method, In the state in which the orientation of the traveling direction of the substrate is changed, the substrate is transferred from the main conveyor to the branch conveyor while the substrate is horizontally rotated. Next, the substrate transfer method of the present invention is performed by the level from the main conveyor. The divergent divergent conveyor conveys the substrate, and while maintaining the orientation with respect to the traveling direction of the substrate, the substrate on the divergent conveyor is horizontally The substrate is transferred to the main conveyor belt. The substrate transfer method allows the substrate to be transferred from the branch conveyor to the main body while the substrate is horizontally rotated without changing the orientation of the traveling direction of the counter substrate. (Effect of the Invention) According to the present invention, while the substrate is horizontally rotated while maintaining the orientation (unchanged) with respect to the traveling direction of the substrate, the substrate is automatically transported and fed to the branch conveyor. Or, the main conveyor belt is handed over from the divergent conveyor belt. Therefore, on the main conveyor belt or the divergent conveyor belt, the substrate can be transferred at a high speed without stopping the substrate. Therefore, by the present invention, it is not necessary to change the traveling direction of the substrate. When the substrate is transferred between the main conveyor belt and the branch conveyor belt, the delivery speed of the substrate between the main conveyor belt and the branch conveyor belt can be increased. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a substrate transfer apparatus and a substrate transfer method of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
