Air blowers 138, 154 For example, the air supply unit 120 and the chemical liquid vapor of the chemical liquid tomb gas 136 can be sent to the intake side, and the air blast of the ϋ chemical liquid component can be separately discharged from the air outlet side. , Β 2. A fan filter unit (FFU) 160 that can supply the clean air to the downflow is installed on a suitable space at the top of the peripheral unit 112. Further, the bottom wall or the bottom bed extends below the roller transport path 1〇4, at the appropriate 1 The exhaust port 162 is provided in one or a plurality of places, and each of the exhaust ports 162 is communicated to the exhaust unit 166 in the exhaust pump or the exhaust fan through the exhaust pipe 64. Each of the gas blowing units 1〇6, 108, 110 The leaked gas is taken into the clean air of the downflow of the top plate and then discharged to the outside from the exhaust port 162 of the bottom bed. A proximity switch or position sensor 168 is provided near the entrance of the outer casing 112 for detecting the roller. The substrate G on the transport path 104 enters the time in the photoresist surface treatment unit (Dv) 46. The output signal of the position sensor 168 is sent to the control photoresist surface treatment unit (DV) 46 for various parts and control of the overall operation. Go (not shown). The roller 170 is horizontally arranged at a predetermined pitch in the conveyance direction (χ direction) on the roller conveyance path 1〇4. Although not shown in the drawings, each roller 17〇 is rotatably supported by a bearing fixed to, for example, a frame member. And connected to a transport drive source such as an electric motor through a gear mechanism such as a gear mechanism or a belt mechanism. • Next, the function of the photoresist surface treatment unit (VD) 46 is explained. As described above, the light adjacent to the upstream side The resist coating unit (c〇T) 44 is coated with the substrate G of the photoresist R, and is moved from the floating transport path of the processing station 80 to the roller transport path 104 and enters the photoresist surface treatment unit under the horizontal flow of the roller ( Inside the housing 112 of the VD) 46. In the casing 112, the substrate G that is transported by the roller at the roller transport path 1〇4 and moves at a constant speed is first passed through the drying gas blowing unit, 17 200837514. For example, the upper resistor R laminar flow hits the uppermost layer of the substrate G' substrate G and the physical force of the wind pressure of the dry rolled A1, as shown in FIG. 5; the end is formed very thin on the surface of the light_ The following) ^ The shell layer or the 疋 刖 film (hard layer) RA. Further, in the case of the film m of the earth bottom m 172 system, the film to be processed (the circuit pattern forming target film 2, the upper film C' is not dried, the gas blowing portion 106 is connected to the roller conveying path 104 汾 ii 3 The first chemical liquid component gas blowing unit (10) sprays the air enthalpy containing the chemical liquid component thereon. The surface layer of the photoresist R reacts with the photoresist main component resin to cause the resin to pass through the 'pressure plate'. New Zealand, will exert the force on the photoresist surface, and also have a drying effect. Like this, as shown in Figure 5, the substrate G is shaped from the Li end to the back end on the surface of the photoresist R (1000A or more). (4) The domain 2 has a second substrate; the second chemical liquid component gas blowing unit 11〇 passes through the rear stage; BI^ii46 also ejects a sample containing chemical liquid components in a laminar flow pattern. After the laminar flow of the chemical composition, the laminar flow repeatedly hits the light of the substrate G^, and the chemical liquid component chemically reacts through the resistive layer y which has been formed on the surface layer of the R layer to crosslink the resin. Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, 'the substrate G is on the surface of the photoresist R from the front end to the rear end ,=;; Lion 2. At this time, in the second id 〇, 'in order to effectively promote the growth of the metamorphic layer RB', the heater I52 as described above is used to raise the temperature of the air 含有2 containing the chemical liquid component. In this case, it is preferable to further increase the wind pressure of the air person containing the chemical liquid component, and the cloud G passes through the photoresist surface treatment unit (VD) 46 on the roller transport path 104 in the multi-stage gas blowing portion 1 〇6,1〇8, π〇 accept the multi-stage photoresist surface treatment as described above, and the upper layer RB′ of the entire light (4) surface of the substrate G can be the same as that when the vacuum drying is performed (for example, about 3 〇〇〇 In this way, at 18 200837514 ί towel: the substrate 0 is processed in the Μ __ΒΑΚΕ) 48 == partial flow unevenness sentence, and the film thickness unevenness can be caused by the hard deterioration ΐ 'the photoresist ruler. The note improves the line width precision of the circuit pattern. The photoresist surface treatment unit (VD) 46 of this embodiment can apply a photoresist on the crucible to bleed the air ai laminar flow to make the photoresist surface two / / "V and then repeatedly blowing the chemical liquid component in a laminar flow The work piece Br B2 forms a f 0 χ on the surface of the resist, and the scans of the P/person/(4) and the light shouting surface are all carried by the roller. W' does not need to carry the mechanical device, and the substrate is also unloaded. When positional deviation or collision breakage occurs, etc.
