能置部可以載置以水平姿勢在垂直方向疊層之狀 心、’、、寺夕片基板的載體(收容器)。 可;ί : Τι =器人由多關節臂型之搬運機器人構成,構成 式,^縮,且圍繞敍直轴線旋轉。利用此種方 在垂直方向載體,水平姿勢 臂朝向姿勢變載體出入’更使多關節 Μ換機構’使以水平姿勢在垂直方向疊 土板對該姿勢變換機構進行交接。 夕 垂換機構對於多片疊層之基板-起在水平姿勢和 -之間進行姿勢變換。在多關節臂之基板搬運中^ 97108014 200902415 ίΐίίΐ生基板位置偏移之問題’為消除該問題,在姿 勢變換機構具傷有基板排列機構。 在妾 推進器具備有可以上· 姿勢變換機搆之間,可以f::動之固持器’在與 在與搬運機構之間二一姿勢之多片基板, ί 機構所保持之多片基板之間距之-接^# 板。例如’在從姿勢變換機構龍持器交 移動微小距離。在該狀;在_;祕板$層方向之水平方向 25 μ # ^ ^心、下,仉妾勢變換機構將另外之 ==固持器。後來交給之25片基板進入先前: :“間’在固持器上形成合計5〇片基板之成 批。如此,將組合多個之基板群 , 組合。當從始推哭收甘, ^又万式%為成批 所#拉夕^ D :土板交給姿勢變換機構時,將固持器 片A軛,.片基板中之25片交給姿勢變換機構,該25 心板,變換姿勢成為水平姿勢之後,交給水平 禮,將固持器上之其餘25 :構如:經:,水平姿勢之後,由水平二: 其f / 來’ 5 〇片基板被分離成為各2 5片之2個之 土板群。如此,將成批形成之多 群之方式稱為成批解除。 板刀離成為多個基板 搬運機構具有以垂直姿勢保持成批形成之 :板央盤’經由使該基板央盤在水平方 :: 板失盤’例如,在推進器和搬運機構之間::板 97108014 200902415 之下方,設置夾盤洗淨單元。 基板處理部具有沿著搬運機構之移動方向配置之多個 處理槽。處理槽包含有藥液槽、水洗槽和乾燥槽。藥液槽 將垂直姿勢之多片基板浸潰到被儲存在槽内之藥液中,對 多片之基板一起施加藥液處理。水洗槽將垂直姿勢之多片 基板浸潰到被儲存在槽内之純水(去離子水)中,對多片之 基板一起施加水洗(沖洗)處理。乾燥槽對多片之基板一起 施加供給有機溶劑(例如,異丙醇)或甩去液成分之處理。 上述習知技術之基板處理裝置之主要問題是第丨基板 處理速度(生產量)較低,和第2價格高昂。 具體而言,水平移載機器人因為是多關節臂型,所以由 於其機械強度之限制,在一起保持多片基板之狀態下,無 法提高動作速度。且,多關節臂型機器人本身高價格。更 進一步,因為需要多關節臂旋轉所需之空間,所以實質上 之佔用面積很大成為其問題。 另卜在夕關節#之水平旋轉移動時,因為多片基板之 相對位置之偏移’所以如上所述,在姿勢變換機構需要具 備基板排賴構。職板㈣機構之動料㈣迫基板處 理速度。另外,姿勢變換機構,除基板排列機構外 用以保持水平姿勢之基板的水平基板導件,用以保持 +安勢之基板的垂直基板導件,和基板之 旋轉機構’因此成為非常高價之機器人。 、用之 m2’推進器具備有上下移動機構、水平移動機構和旋 籌’同樣地成為非常高價格之機器人。 97108014 200902415 如此,推進器(收容器)和搬運機構之間之基板搬運需要 時間’成為阻礙生產量之提高之一原因。另外,載體(收 容器)和搬運機構之間之基板搬運用之構造昂貴,因此會 ·- 妨礙基板處理裝置之成本降低。 : 另外,在上述之習知技術之基板處理裝置中,因為從載 體到搬運機構之基板搬運路徑為丨個系統,所以在將未處 理基板送入到主搬運機構時,無法從搬運機構將處理過基 『板排出到載體,又在排出處理過基板時,無法將未處理基 '板送入。另外,在將未處理基板送入搬運機構時,因為需 要推進器之固持器上之成批組入動作,所以至處理過基板 排出之等待時間很長。同樣地,在排出處理過基板時,因 為茜要推進益之固持器上之成批解除動作,所以至成為可 以送入未處理基板之狀態的等待時間亦很長。此成為使基 板處理速度降低之另一要因。 更進一步,在基板交接位置當其被保持在推進器時,搬 (運機構無法將經乾燥槽處理之處理過基板排出到基板交 接位置。因此,搬運機構首先在基板交接位置收取未處理 之基板,將其搬入到藥液槽。然後,搬運機構在夾盤洗淨 單元洗淨基板夾盤之後,收取來自乾燥槽之處理過基板, 在基板交接位置將其交給推進器。由於在保持有未處理基 :板之基板夾盤轉移有未處理基板之表面異物,所以為防止 :該異物轉移到處理過之基板,而不得不在保持處理過基板 之韵洗淨基板夾盤。因此成為基板處理速度降低之另一要 因0 97108014 9 200902415 的是提供一種可以 提高基板處理速度之基 【發明内容】 本發明之目 板處理裝置。 本發明之另一目 置。 的是提供可以 降低成本之基板處理裝 本發明之第1態樣之基板處㈣置 持部,用來保持收容器藉以收容以水平姿勢上 二:片幻反,基板處理部,用來對以垂直姿勢在水平方

上述基板父接位置處在與上述主搬運機構之間,一起交接 垂直安勢之多>|基板’在上述移載位置和上述基板交接位 置之間,一起搬運垂直姿勢之多片基板。 依照此種構造時,以水平姿勢被收容在收容器内之多片 基板,被搬入/搬出機構一起搬出,進而被該搬入/搬出機 構變換姿勢成為垂直姿勢。該垂直姿勢之多片基板,在移 載位置被移載到副搬運機構,然後被搬運到基板交接位 置,在該基板父接位置處交給主搬運機構。主搬運機構將 垂直安勢之多片基板搬運到基板處理部。在基板處理部處 97108014 200902415 Γΐ 1 : 構,從基板處理部搬運到基板交接 立置,父給副搬運機構。副搬運機構從基板交接位置將ί =運到移載位置,交給搬人/搬出機構。搬人/搬出機ς 到收容器。 、文勢成為水平姿勢之後,將其搬入 依照此種方式,在本發明Φ h 收容器之基板搬人和㈣ 2 機構,進行對 ^ 以及基板之姿勢變更。因此,

,好使上述搬入/搬出機構包含有:多片保持手柄,用 手持多片f板;手柄進退機構,用來使該多片保持 —、上述收容器保持部保持之收容器,沿水平方向之 方向進退;和手柄旋轉機構,用來使上述多片保 、 /α上述進退方向之錯直面至少旋轉g〇度。 二々:此種構造時’搬入/搬出機構使多片J寺手柄對收 =進行進退,用來從收容器-起搬出多片之基板,沿著 退方向之錯直面使多片保持手柄旋轉9〇度,可以用來 97108014 11 200902415 將基板姿勢從水平姿勢變換成為垂直姿勢。另外,當將基 板搬入到收容器時,可以在使多片保持手柄從垂直姿勢變 換姿勢成為水平姿勢之後,朝向收容器進退。如此一來, 因為可利用包含多片保持手柄之進退方向㈣直面内手 柄旋轉動作來進行基板之姿勢變換,所以可使搬入/搬出 機構之構造簡化。亦即,不需要習知技術之多關節臂之水 平旋轉。因此’可·速地進行對收容器之多片保持手柄 之進退和姿勢變更。 亦可以使上述多片保持手柄具備有多個手柄元件,分別 用來保持1 Η基板’❿亦可錢各個手柄元件在手柄元件 排列方向之-側具有w i基板保持部,在手柄排列方向之 另-側具有第2基板保持部。在此種情況,最好使上述搬 入/搬出機構更包含有以使上述手柄元件之表面/背面反 轉之方式,使上述多片保持手柄圍繞既定之旋轉軸 手柄旋轉機構。 依照此種構造時,利用手柄旋轉機構使多片保持手柄旋 轉,可以用來使第i基板保持部或第2基板保持部之任一 者=面側。利用此種方式,可以變換第!基板保持部 口苐土板保持部,使其用在基板保制。因此,例如, 當一基板保持部用在未處理基板之保持用時,可以使另一 基板保持部用在處理過基板之保持用。利用此種方式,可 以抑制或^未處理基板之表面之異物轉移到處理過基 板。 最好使上述搬入/搬出 裝置更包含有支持導件,用來從 97108014 22 200902415 下方支持垂直姿勢之多片之基板。依照此種構造時,可 7用支持導件A持垂直姿勢之基板。與其—併地,當使多 丙成為垂直姿勢時,可以利用支持導件同時排列 夕片之基板。利用此種方式可以廉價之構造排列多片其 ,而且,因為可以同時完成基板之姿勢變更和基板之ς 广所以可更進一步地縮短收容器和主搬運機構間之基板 搬運所需要之時間。 丞板 r 最好使上述支持導件對各個手柄元件具有一對

另外,因為水平搬運機構可在移載位置和基 :二 間水平搬運基板,所以同樣地使構造不會複 來,亦可抑制副搬運機構之成本。 最好將上述移載機構對於上述多片保持手柄之進退方 向配置在上述搬入/搬出機構之相反側。 依照此種構造時,搬入/搬出機構可使多片保持手柄進 二方,收谷益搬入/搬出基板,並可依沿其進退方向之移 構造::移:位置。利用此種方式可使搬入/搬出機構之 構以更進一步地簡化而達到成本之降低。

t*車又時,因為可以使基板搬運速度格外快速,所以可 以更進一步提高基板處理速度。 最好使上述移㈣構更包含有支持部水平移動機構,用 二使上述移载支持部沿疊層有垂直姿勢之基板的水平方 Π如手柄進退方向)在既定之距離範圍移動。依照此種 構7枯,在從移載支持部將第1基板群移載到水平搬運保 寺P後以移载支持部收取來自搬入/搬出機構之第2基 r 板群,可將第2基板群移載到水平搬運保持部之從上述^

[Prior Art] A substrate process in which a chemical liquid is applied to a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer. The "in-place" includes a batch method in which a plurality of substrates are applied. An example of a plate processing apparatus is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 354604. The substrate processing apparatus includes a carrier-loaded translation robot, a posture changing mechanism, a thruster, and a substrate processing unit. The 疋拽 capable portion can mount a carrier (receiving container) in which the center of the slab is stacked in a vertical direction in a horizontal posture. ί : Τι = The person is composed of a multi-joint arm type handling robot, which is configured to rotate and rotate around the straight axis. By using such a square in the vertical direction, the horizontal posture arm is moved toward the posture-changing carrier, and the multi-joint switching mechanism is placed to vertically transfer the posture changing mechanism in the vertical direction. In the case of a plurality of laminated substrates, the switching mechanism performs a posture change between a horizontal posture and a state. In the substrate conveyance of the multi-joint arm ^ 97108014 200902415 ΐ ΐ 问题 问题 ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ ’ Between the 妾 pusher and the position change mechanism, the f:: mover's distance between the plurality of substrates held by the mechanism and the multi-piece substrate between the transfer mechanism and the transport mechanism - Connect ^ # board. For example, 'moving a small distance from the posture changing mechanism. In the shape; in the horizontal direction of the _; secret layer $ 25 μ # ^ ^ heart, down, the potential transformation mechanism will be another == holder. Later, the 25 substrates were handed over to the previous:: "Inter' formed a batch of 5 基板 substrate on the holder. Thus, a plurality of substrate groups will be combined and combined. When crying from the beginning, ^ 10,000% is a batch of #拉夕^D: When the soil plate is given to the posture changing mechanism, the retainer piece A yoke. 25 pieces of the sheet substrate are given to the posture changing mechanism. After the 25-heart plate is changed into a horizontal posture, the horizontal posture is given to the horizontal ceremony, and the remaining 25 on the holder is configured as follows: after the horizontal posture, by the horizontal two : The f / ' ' 5 基板 substrate is separated into two groups of 2 pieces each of the two. Thus, the way in which a plurality of groups are formed in batches is called batch release. The knives are separated into a plurality of substrate transport mechanisms that are formed in batches in a vertical position: the plate central disk 'via the substrate plate at the horizontal side:: the plate is lost", for example, between the pusher and the transport mechanism: Below the board 97108014 200902415, set the chuck cleaning unit. The substrate processing unit has a plurality of processing grooves arranged along the moving direction of the transport mechanism. The treatment tank contains a chemical tank, a water washing tank and a drying tank. The drug solution tank dipped a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture into the chemical liquid stored in the tank, and applied a chemical solution to the plurality of substrates. The washing tank dries a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture into pure water (deionized water) stored in the tank, and applies a water washing (rinsing) treatment to the plurality of substrates. The drying tank applies a treatment for supplying an organic solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol) or a mashing component to a plurality of substrates. The main problem of the above-described substrate processing apparatus of the prior art is that the second substrate processing speed (production amount) is low, and the second price is high. Specifically, since the horizontal transfer robot is a multi-joint arm type, the movement speed cannot be increased in a state in which a plurality of substrates are held together due to the limitation of mechanical strength. Moreover, the multi-joint arm type robot itself has a high price. Further, since the space required for the rotation of the multi-joint arm is required, the substantial occupied area becomes a problem. Further, in the case of the horizontal rotation of the joint joint #, since the relative position of the plurality of substrates is shifted, it is necessary to have the substrate arrangement structure in the posture changing mechanism as described above. (4) The dynamics of the substrate (4) forced substrate processing speed. Further, the posture changing mechanism, the horizontal substrate guide for holding the substrate in the horizontal posture in addition to the substrate array mechanism, the vertical substrate guide for holding the substrate of the security, and the rotating mechanism of the substrate are thus very expensive robots. The m2' thruster is equipped with a robot that has a very high price in the same manner as the vertical movement mechanism, the horizontal movement mechanism, and the rotation. 97108014 200902415 As such, the time required for substrate transfer between the pusher (receiving container) and the transport mechanism is one of the reasons for hindering the increase in throughput. Further, since the structure for transporting the substrate between the carrier (receiving container) and the transport mechanism is expensive, the cost of the substrate processing apparatus is hindered. Further, in the above-described substrate processing apparatus of the prior art, since the substrate transport path from the carrier to the transport mechanism is one system, when the unprocessed substrate is fed to the main transport mechanism, the processing cannot be performed from the transport mechanism. When the substrate is discharged to the carrier and the substrate is discharged, the untreated base plate cannot be fed. Further, when the unprocessed substrate is fed into the transport mechanism, since the batch assembly operation on the stopper of the pusher is required, the waiting time until the substrate is discharged is long. Similarly, when the processed substrate is discharged, since the batch release operation on the retainer is promoted, the waiting time until the unprocessed substrate can be fed is also long. This is another factor in reducing the processing speed of the substrate. Further, when the substrate is held in the pusher at the substrate transfer position, the transport mechanism cannot discharge the processed substrate processed by the drying tank to the substrate transfer position. Therefore, the transport mechanism first collects the unprocessed substrate at the substrate transfer position. Then, it is carried into the liquid tank. Then, after the chuck cleaning unit cleans the substrate chuck, the transport mechanism picks up the processed substrate from the drying tank and delivers it to the pusher at the substrate transfer position. Untreated base: The substrate chuck of the board transfers the foreign matter on the surface of the untreated substrate. Therefore, in order to prevent the foreign matter from being transferred to the processed substrate, it is necessary to wash the substrate chuck while maintaining the processing of the substrate. Another factor for the speed reduction is 0 97108014 9 200902415, which provides a substrate processing apparatus capable of improving the processing speed of the substrate. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Another object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of reducing cost. The substrate (four) holding portion of the first aspect of the present invention is for holding the container for accommodation in a horizontal posture : a film reversal, a substrate processing unit for applying a process in a horizontal position on a horizontal side: and a top substrate; a main transport mechanism between a predetermined parenting position and the substrate processing unit; - transporting a plurality of substrates stacked in a horizontal direction in a vertical direction; and moving/unloading means, loading and unloading a plurality of substrates together with the container held by the container holding portion The substrate is changed in a posture between the horizontal posture and the vertical posture; and the sub-transporting mechanism transfers the plurality of substrates in the vertical posture between the loading/unloading mechanisms at the predetermined transfer position, and the parenting position of the substrate is Between the main transport mechanism and the main transport mechanism, a plurality of vertical perpendiculars are transferred together. The substrate 'transports between the transfer position and the substrate transfer position to transport a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture. The plurality of substrates accommodated in the container in a horizontal posture are carried out by the loading/unloading mechanism, and the posture of the loading/unloading mechanism is changed to a vertical posture. The sheet substrate is transferred to the sub-transporting mechanism at the transfer position, then transported to the substrate transfer position, and delivered to the main transport mechanism at the substrate parenting position. The main transport mechanism transports the multi-plate substrate of the vertical mount to the substrate. The processing unit is disposed at the substrate processing unit at 97108014 200902415 Γΐ 1 : from the substrate processing unit to the substrate transfer standing, and the parent to the sub-transport mechanism. The sub-transport mechanism transports ί = to the transfer position from the substrate transfer position, and delivers it to the transfer position. Moving/unloading mechanism. Moving/unloading the machine to the container. After the posture is in the horizontal position, it is carried in. In this way, the substrate is moved and the (4) 2 mechanism of the Φ h container of the present invention is performed. ^ and the change of the posture of the substrate. Therefore, the structure can be simplified by using the conventional comparison of the special posture changing mechanism for the change of the board's security posture. j Further, the loading/unloading mechanism can perform the base/removal operation and the posture change operation on the container, so t.  The articulated arm rotates horizontally. Therefore, the action time can be shortened. This financial formula can shorten the time required for substrate handling and increase the number of substrates that can be processed every two (four). That is, the substrate processing speed can be increased, so that the loading/unloading mechanism includes: a plurality of holding handles, a hand-held multi-piece f plate; a handle advancing and retracting mechanism for holding the plurality of pieces - the container holding portion is held The receiving container advances and retreats in the horizontal direction; and the handle rotating mechanism is configured to rotate the misalignment of the plurality of sheets and the above-mentioned advance and retreat directions by at least g degrees. Second 々: In this structure, the 'loading/unloading mechanism enables multiple pieces of J temple handles to advance and retreat, and is used to carry out a plurality of substrates from the container, and to rotate the plurality of holding handles along the wrong direction of the retreating direction. 9 degrees, can be used for 97108014 11 200902415 to change the substrate posture from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture. Further, when the substrate is carried into the container, the plurality of holding handles can be moved forward and backward toward the container after the posture is changed from the vertical posture to the horizontal posture. In this way, since the posture of the substrate can be changed by the rotation of the handle in the forward and reverse directions (four) of the plurality of holding handles, the structure of the loading/unloading mechanism can be simplified. That is, the horizontal rotation of the multi-joint arm of the prior art is not required. Therefore, the advancement and retreat and the posture change of the plurality of holding handles of the container can be quickly performed. Alternatively, the plurality of holding handles may be provided with a plurality of handle members for respectively holding one Η substrate ❿, and each of the handle members may have a wi substrate holding portion on the side of the arrangement direction of the handle members, and another direction in the direction of the handle arrangement The second side has a second substrate holding portion. In this case, it is preferable that the loading/unloading mechanism further includes the plurality of holding handles surrounding the predetermined rotating shaft handle rotating mechanism so that the surface/back surface of the handle member is reversed. According to this configuration, the plurality of holding handles can be rotated by the handle rotating mechanism, and any one of the i-th substrate holding portion or the second substrate holding portion can be used. In this way, you can change the number! The substrate holding portion is used for the substrate holding portion. Therefore, for example, when one substrate holding portion is used for holding the unprocessed substrate, the other substrate holding portion can be used for holding the processed substrate. In this manner, foreign matter on the surface of the substrate which is not treated or removed can be prevented from being transferred to the treated substrate. Preferably, the loading/unloading device further includes a support guide for supporting a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture from below 97108014 22 200902415. According to this configuration, the substrate in which the support member A is held in a vertical posture can be used. In contrast to this, when the polypropylene is made to be in a vertical posture, the substrate on which the support piece is simultaneously arranged can be used. In this way, a plurality of sheets can be arranged in an inexpensive structure, and since the posture change of the substrate and the widening of the substrate can be simultaneously performed, the time required for substrate transportation between the container and the main transport mechanism can be further shortened. The jaws r preferably have the support members described above having a pair of grooves for each of the handle members. In such a case, it is preferable that the loading/unloading mechanism further includes a guide driving mechanism for holding the substrate to drive the support guide to select the pair of substrate holding grooves. According to this configuration, since the guiding drive mechanism can be selected - either of the substrate holding grooves, so when the substrate is held in the groove, it can be used for holding the substrate. The other one is used to maintain the substrate. . .  ^ In this way, it is possible to suppress or prevent the transfer of the surface of the untreated substrate to the processed substrate. /, : The sub-transport mechanism may include: a transfer mechanism having a transfer load: a state in which the substrate is stacked in a horizontal direction in a vertical direction, and the transfer support portion is moved up and down, and the up-and-down shift is used. == between the loading/unloading mechanism 'at the above-mentioned transfer position--and the vertical security substrate; and the horizontal transport mechanism' has a horizontal transfer=holding portion for: holding a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture Arranging in the horizontal direction, and at the transfer position, a plurality of substrates are transferred between the transfer support portion and the horizontal transfer holding portion in a vertical posture, and the plate is connected to the base at the base 97108014 13 200902415 The transport mechanism and the horizontal transport holding and holding a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture are transferred together, and the horizontal transport holding portion is horizontally moved between the transfer position and the substrate transfer position. According to this configuration, by transferring the transfer support portion of the transfer mechanism up and down, it is possible to transfer the substrate to the loading/unloading mechanism and to the substrate of the horizontal transfer structure. Therefore, the substrate can be transferred between the loading/unloading mechanism and the horizontal conveying mechanism through the intermediary of the transfer mechanism of a simple structure. Further, since the horizontal transport mechanism can transport the substrate horizontally at the transfer position and the base, the structure can be prevented from coming back in the same manner, and the cost of the sub transport mechanism can be suppressed. Preferably, the transfer mechanism is disposed on the opposite side of the loading/unloading mechanism with respect to the advancing and retracting direction of the plurality of holding handles. According to this configuration, the loading/unloading mechanism can move the plurality of holding handles into the two sides, and the loading and unloading of the substrate can be carried out in the direction of advancement and retreat:: shift: position. In this way, the loading/unloading mechanism can be further simplified to achieve cost reduction. The horizontal handling mechanism can also read the _ + advancing and reversing direction of the orthogonal LIZ into: the piece holding handle The handling mechanism can also be in the multi-piece =, annual storage, transfer position. In other words, the access side 2 carrying the holding portion moves in a horizontal direction in which the advance and retreat directions of the handle are orthogonal. With this configuration, the substrate conveyance between the conveyance directions of the receiving substrate transfer positions is more than two: the arm can achieve further structural simplification. Further, when the rotation of the substrate is changed to the conventional transfer direction of the substrate, 97108014 14 200902415 and Ίt*, since the substrate transfer speed can be made extremely fast, the substrate processing speed can be further improved. Preferably, the above-mentioned shifting structure (4) further includes a supporting portion horizontal moving mechanism for moving the transfer supporting portion along a horizontal direction of the substrate in which the vertical posture is stacked, such as the handle advancing and retracting direction, within a predetermined distance range. According to this configuration, after the first substrate group is transferred from the transfer support unit to the horizontal transporting temple P, the second base r-plate group from the loading/unloading mechanism is collected by the transfer support unit, and the second base group can be obtained. The substrate group is transferred to a position where the horizontal conveyance holding portion is deviated from the above-mentioned substrate group. In this manner, the first and second substrate groups can be held in a horizontal manner, and the first and second substrate groups can be combined in a batch. For example, after the second substrate group is transferred to the horizontal transport holding portion, the transfer support portion may be horizontally moved by a half distance (half pitch) of the substrate holding pitch of the 帛i substrate group, and the second substrate group may be shifted. Carry the holder horizontally. In this manner, the i-th substrate group and the second substrate group are held in the horizontal conveyance holding portion in a state in which the constituent substrates are not overlapped with each other. In this way, the horizontal transfer material portion can hold a plurality of substrates in a small space. In addition, a batch of substrate processing units that handle such a state can process a plurality of substrates in a small space. Preferably, the transfer support portion includes a pair of support guide shafts for holding a plurality of substrates stacked in a horizontal direction from both sides in a horizontal direction; the support guide shaft preferably has an abutting portion. Abutting the substrate at different positions in the circumferential direction; and the retreating portion 'for ensuring a predetermined interval in the pair of supporting guides (4) so that the substrate can pass through the above-mentioned pair of supporting guide shafts; the above-mentioned 97108014 15 200902415 The carrier mechanism further includes a guiding rotation mechanism for rotating the pair of support guiding shafts around the respective axes. Preferably, the substrate processing apparatus further includes a tanning unit 'for controlling the guiding rotation mechanism, and the substrate supporting shape (the abutting portions of the pair of supporting guiding shafts are opposed to each other), and the US state (Transition between the retracting portions of the pair of support guide shafts and the earth direction). According to this configuration, the plurality of substrates from the vertical posture of the loading/unloading mechanism or the horizontal conveying mechanism can be received and supported by the substrate supporting state between the abutting portions of the supporting and the supporting (four) axes. In addition, the 'in the case of the unsupported substrate' can be used to avoid the interference with the substrate held by the loading/unloading mechanism or the horizontal transport mechanism by the state of the substrate passing between the retracting portions, and the support can be guided. Axis =. In this manner, for example, when the substrate is placed at the level: = the position of the support guide shaft can be retracted to a position that does not hinder the horizontal movement of the horizontal conveyance holding portion, the structure becomes simple. It is preferable that the abutting portion includes the second abutting portion and the second 'th structure which are disposed at different positions in the upper four circumferential directions, since the first abutting can be selected> _. . With this, it is possible to use the support of the substrate to change the support and the mode of the second board: the support and the mode of the board, and it is possible to suppress or prevent the unprocessed substrate from using the square substrate. The surface foreign matter is transferred to the treatment so that the horizontal transport mechanism further includes a horizontal rotating mechanism for the 97108014 16 200902415 to rotate the horizontal transport holding portion around the vertical axis by at least 9 degrees (preferably around horizontal transport). The horizontal shift of the center of gravity of the Ministry). The main transport mechanism includes, for example, a substrate holding means for holding a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture stacked in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a direction in which the handle of the loading/unloading mechanism is moved forward and backward, and a traveling means for making the substrate Keep the means together in the direction of the advance and retreat of the above handle: move. In such a case, the substrate processing unit includes, for example, a plurality of processing units arranged in the horizontal direction. In this case, by rotating the horizontal conveyance mechanism of the horizontal conveyance mechanism by 90 degrees, the stacking direction of the plurality of substrates can be used in the lamination direction of the transfer mechanism and the lamination direction of the main conveyance mechanism. Change between. Beauty = layer: change to the conventional technique is to use the water of the multi-joint arm; the horizontal rotation of the two arms requires a long time. On the other hand, in the present invention, the conveyance holding portion can be rotated, so that the rotation can be made simple. In this way, the substrate u can be increased and the cost of the substrate processing apparatus can be reduced. Preferably, the flat rotating mechanism rotates the horizontal conveyance holding portion around the range of the weight of the # portion (preferably around the horizontal conveyance holding: the substrate in the vertical posture held by the holding portion: by:: moving the substrate group) When the two batches are combined, the first surface (the surface on which the device forming the substrate of the substrate group is formed) (the surface on which the device side is not formed) can be opposed to each other. 97108014 17 200902415 When the batch is immersed in the treatment liquid for treatment, it is possible to suppress or prevent the problem of foreign matter forming a surface from the surface of the adjacent (four) plate. The Dandian attached to the base = flat part, the above transfer support portion The two horizontal conveyance holding portions can hold a plurality of substrates in a small space, and can be combined into a batch at the 5 HM horizontal conveyance holding portion. f The horizontal conveyance holding portion includes: a first guide member for supporting the squatting a plurality of substrates of four layers in a flat direction; and a second guide, a plurality of substrates stacked in a horizontal direction in a vertical direction; the horizontal transport mechanism further includes a guide lifting mechanism for the ith guide Pieces on the second guide of j With this configuration, the pieces of τ are relatively lifted and lowered, and the substrate can be held by either the first member or the first: Here, the i-th and second guides are used to separate the unprocessed substrate and the processed substrate. (4) u can be transferred to the first substrate transfer position and the substrate support position at the predetermined first substrate transfer position and the substrate support position, and transferred to the substrate processing unit.

Move; 2nd The plate moving mechanism holds the second conveyance holding portion of the plurality of substrates, and the transfer plate is disposed between the transfer position, the transfer support portion, and the second transfer holding portion at the second substrate transfer position. Between the main transport mechanism and the second transport holding unit, a plurality of substrates are transferred together, and the transfer position and the second substrate transfer position transport unit are moved. The first transfer support unit may be used to transfer the first transfer support unit. Vertical: the column and the horizontally held horizontal! The horizontal transport holding portion/the upper sheet base, and the movable mechanism can be placed between the transfer support portion and the transfer handle holding portion at the transfer position described above, and the vertical transfer is performed together The plurality of postures can be placed between the main conveyance mechanism and the holding portion at the first substrate transfer position, and the plurality of substrates in the vertical posture can be transferred together, and the above-described transfer position and the first substrate transfer position can be made The first horizontal conveyance holding portion moves horizontally. Further, the second conveyance support portion 1' is for arranging and holding a plurality of substrates in a vertical posture at a horizontal level:: 2 horizontal conveyance holding portion. In this case, the second substrate or the structure may be a horizontal transfer mechanism that can be transferred to the transfer support portion and the second horizontal transfer holding portion at the transfer position.

According to this configuration, the main transport mechanism can access the intersection of the second and second rows of substrates. Further, the substrate transport between the first substrate transfer position and the transfer mechanism is performed by the first substrate transfer machine, and the substrate transfer between the second substrate transfer position and the transfer position is performed by the second substrate moving mechanism. In this way, since the substrate transport path of the transfer mechanism and the main transport mechanism can be made into two systems, the unloaded substrate is taken out from the container and transported to the main transport mechanism by the loading/unloading and transporting. In the case of another substrate transport path, the processed substrate may be discharged from the main transport mechanism to the transfer mechanism via another substrate transport path. Therefore, the waiting time can be reduced and the substrate processing speed can be increased. The first substrate moving mechanism picks up the substrate processed by the substrate processing unit from the main transport mechanism at the transfer position of the second substrate, and delivers the substrate to the transfer mechanism at the transfer position; the second substrate The moving mechanism picks up the substrate before being processed by the processing unit from the transfer mechanism at the transfer position, and delivers the substrate to the main transport mechanism at the second substrate transfer position.

After the substrate processed by the substrate processing unit is transported to the second substrate parenting position (preferably, the substrate chuck is not washed by the chuck cleaning unit), the substrate is transferred from the second substrate transfer position to In the substrate processing unit, the substrate chuck is then washed by the chuck cleaning unit. According to this configuration, even if the unprocessed substrate is in a waiting state at the second substrate transfer position, the main transport mechanism may first discharge the processed substrate from the substrate processing portion to the second substrate transfer position, and then transfer the second substrate to the position. The unprocessed substrate is transported to the substrate processing unit. That is, it is not necessary to bring the substrate chuck into contact with the unprocessed substrate before the main transport mechanism carries out the processed substrate, so that it is not necessary to clean the substrate chuck before the discharge of the processed substrate. Therefore, the number of times the substrate chuck is washed can be reduced. Further, since the cleaning of the substrate chuck is performed by the vacant time after the unprocessed substrate is discharged and the unprocessed substrate is carried into the substrate processing portion, the substrate processing speed can be further improved by this means.

The third substrate group carries the holding unit from the transfer support unit. In the transfer support unit, the fourth substrate is used to carry out the batch-and-combination operation of the fourth substrate. 2. The substrate moving mechanism (second transport holding unit) is possible. Therefore, even in the batch releasing operation, the substrate moving mechanism transfers a plurality of unprocessed substrates in batches to each other.

Further, the substrate transfer between the first substrate transfer position and the transfer mechanism is performed by the second substrate moving mechanism, and the substrate transfer between the second substrate transfer position and the transfer position is performed by the second substrate moving mechanism. In this way, since the substrate transport path between the transfer mechanism and the main transport mechanism is two systems, even if the unloaded wire is taken out from the storage H through the carry-in/out mechanism, it is sent to the main transport mechanism and used. In the case where there is another substrate_path, the road can be transported by the other earth plate; U discharges the processed substrate from the main transport mechanism toward the transfer mechanism, so that the waiting time can be reduced and the substrate processing speed can be increased. It is best to make the above!

As a result, the plurality of substrates w are in a state in which the postures are stacked in the γ direction. After the posture change, the soil plate W is guided to the transfer position ρ3, and the guide member (4) is guided by the drive mechanism (10), and the first substrate holding groove 88A for holding the unprocessed substrate w is held. It is located behind the substrate holding position of each handle π piece 7G. Then, the guide arch retracting mechanism 87 advances the support guide 8G toward the front end side of the handle member. In this manner, the substrate w is sandwiched between the support guide 8G and the first guide dog portion 75 at the front end of the handle member 7Q. The above-described posture changing operation is performed in this state. After the posture change is completed, the guide roller retracting mechanism causes the support guide 80 to retreat a small distance to reach the handle member 7A, thereby releasing the clamping of the substrate W. In this manner, the substrate holding groove 88 is supported by the support guide 8A so that the substrate W is held in a vertical posture. At this time, since the substrate w is pressed by the gravity to the substrate holding groove 88, the arrangement of the substrates W can be simultaneously achieved. [Unprocessed substrate transfer operation] 97108014 53 200902415 During the posture changing operation by the loading/unloading mechanism 4, the transfer mechanism 5 causes the support guide shaft 91 to wait at a position below the handle support portion 41. At this time, the "guide rotation mechanism 105 controls the rotational position of the support guide shaft ’" to oppose the ith abutment portion ι3 of the support guide shaft 91. When the potential conversion operation is completed and the clamping of the substrate W is released, the support guide shaft 91 is raised above the batch handle 4 by the actuator 95 (: standing. During the ascending process, the slab substrate w is transferred from the batch handle to the support guide shaft 91. The width of the handle support portion 41 is small and small = the interval between the pair of support guide shafts 91. Therefore, when the support guide shaft 91 rises There is no interference with the handle support portion 41. After the substrate w is transferred, the loading/unloading mechanism 4 drives the rotary motor 5〇, and the batch handle 40 is returned to the transfer cassette to be in a waiting state. The second horizontal conveyance mechanism 7 conveys the second horizontal conveyance: ==Γ3. At this time, for example, the first guide 135 is in the first support state above the second guide 136. The carrier mechanism 5 moves the support guide shaft 91 to the lower position. In the process, the plurality of pieces of φ 91 are held by the support guide shaft substrate W' to be transferred to the support guide shaft substrate W'. The second horizontal conveyance holding Qiu 1fin 2nd horizontal conveyance holding part _ / 10 handling and holding # (10). The piece becomes > The guiding members 135, 136 support the constituting of the laminated sheet, which is the state in which the vertical position can be maintained in the Y-side holding portion: 60: X = W. The second level of transportation in this state is maintained. The width in the X direction is smaller than - the support between the guide shafts 91 is 97108014 54 200902415. Therefore, when the support guide shaft 91 is lowered, there is no problem of interference with the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 160. After the transfer, the guide rotating mechanism 1〇5 of the transfer mechanism 5 rotates the pair of support guide shafts 91 to align the retreat portions 1丨5. In this state, the transfer mechanism 5 supports the guide. The lead shaft 91 rises and retreats to the upper position. The distance between the pair of the retracting portions 115 supporting the guide shaft 91 is longer than the straight length of the substrate w, so that the support guide shaft 91 does not interfere with being held by the horizontal conveyance. The substrate w held by the portion 160 can be retracted to the upper position. ' After the support guide shaft 91 is retracted, the 帛2 horizontal transport mechanism 7 rotates the second horizontal transport holding portion 160 around the vertical axis. After the carrying position is retracted from the horizontal conveyance holding portion (10), the transfer mechanism 5 lowers the guide shaft 91 to the lower side. In addition, it is controlled by the guide mechanism 1G5 - the rotation position of the support guide shaft 91 is opposed to the abutment portion 113. [Batch combination operation] = the flat transport mechanism 7 will be the first 25 pieces The substrate "stay = 35 mother is separated by a substrate to maintain the groove. The substrate holding groove is used to collect the next 25 pieces of substrate w, =; the substrate is formed. This is called a batch combination. 攸 Transfer position P3 After the retreat, the guide rotation motor 15Gj=horizontal conveyance holding unit (10), if necessary, another ice + force for '180 degree horizontal rotation. Surface 'loading/unloading machine thousand: 97108014 η action 'from being configured Transfer box holding portion = ^ 55 200902415 F - Take out a plurality of substrates W. Then, similarly to the above, the multi-piece substrate W is changed from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture, and is supported by the transfer guide 80 at the transfer position p3. In this state, the loading/unloading mechanism 4 moves the support guide 8 — by one half distance (half pitch) of the holding interval of the substrate ff in the γ direction by the actuator 65 together with the moving base 63. On the other hand, the transfer mechanism 5 guides the movement motor 1 经由 to move the substrate in the same direction (γ direction) as the support guide shaft 91 纟 and the movement direction of the support guide 80. One hundred and a half distances of the interval. In this manner, the substrate holding positions of the support guide 80 and the support guide shaft 91 are arranged in the vertical direction, and the lower portion is shifted by the half pitch in the γ direction as compared with the case where the first 25 substrates W are held. In this state, the transfer mechanism 5 raises the support guide shaft 91 to guide it to the upper position. In this process, the support guide shaft 91 will stand up together with the plurality of substrates w on the support 80. The flat structure 4 causes the batch handle 40 to change its posture into water ten amperage 'retracted from the transfer position Ρ3. In this state, the second n, the rich μ β β. The rotation of the holding portion 160 _ transfer 胄 2 horizontal transport guarantee - the support guide two = = after: the transfer mechanism 5 holds the guide shaft 91 to maintain 2 hearts: square,,. In this process, the holding unit (10) is carried out. =; The transfer is carried out at the second level until the second substrate has been moved by the second level. In this way, in the state of the substrate = layer, the associated animal is 0 in the Y direction. The conveyance unit 16 is conveyed at the second level. 97108014 56 200902415 Then, the second horizontal conveyance mechanism 7 rotates the second horizontal conveyance holding portion (10) around the vertical axis 172, and is rotated by the guide rotating motor 150 around the rotating vehicle by the guide rotating motor 150, and further The χ direction moves flat and moves to the second substrate transfer position p2 (see FIG. 2A). At this time, the second horizontal conveyance mechanism 7 rotates the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 16 horizontally, and the plurality of substrates W in the vertical posture are stacked in the X direction. [Substrate delivery at the second substrate transfer position p2] The second horizontal transfer holding portion 16 of the second horizontal transfer mechanism 7 moves to the second substrate transfer position. Before the second stage, the i-th robot 175 waits for the support guide Π7 to be positioned below the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 16A. After the second horizontal conveyance holding portion (10) has moved to the second substrate transfer position P2, the first intermediary robot 175 raises the support guide 177 to a position higher than the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 16A. In this process, a plurality of (50) substrates W which are vertically stacked in a half pitch are transferred from the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 16 to the support guide 177. After d, the second horizontal conveyance mechanism 7 retracts the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 16 from the second substrate transfer position p2, and is prepared to receive the substrate W. On the other hand, the first! The intermediary robot 175 lowers the support guide 177 to the lower position below the support guide # 183 of the second/intermediate machine 176. In the far process, from the first! The intermediary robot i 75 transfers a plurality of (50) substrates to the second intermediary machine 176. When the second intermediary robot (7) is provided with the substrate orientation arrangement _, the substrate orientation alignment operation is further performed. 97108014 57 200902415 [Operation of main transport mechanism] The main transport mechanism 3 grips and receives a plurality of sheets (5" of unsupported substrates W held by the second guide robot 176 in a vertical posture through the substrate chuck 30. The transport mechanism 3 raises the substrate tray 3 to a position higher than the processing tank 2, and further moves the substrate chuck 30 to the second solution tank 21 or the second liquid tank along the γ direction. 23, a plurality of (9) pieces of the substrate w are transferred to the i-th lifter 27 or the second lifter 28. r Then 'using the action of the first or second lifter 27, 28, multiple pieces (5 〇 = The substrate w-domain is immersed in the liquid medicine in the liquid medicine tank 2, and then immersed in the rinsing liquid in the rinsing liquid tanks 22, 24. The liquid medicine stored in the first medicine f-slot 21 After the substrate processing, when it is more necessary to process the second chemical solution stored in the chemical solution tank 23, or when the second chemical liquid treatment is required to be treated by the first chemical liquid, the main transport mechanism 3 is The first and second brothers 27 and 28 are transported together with a plurality of (5) sheets of substrate. The substrate is dried after the rinsing treatment of the two liquids 曰22, 24. The plate W and the hoisting lifter 28 are transferred to the main transport mechanism 3, and the main transport mechanism 3 controls the L drying processing unit 25. Then, the portion processed by the drying processing unit 25 ==W, and is dried by the main transport mechanism 3 The portion 25 is carried out and transported to the first substrate transfer position ρι. The main transport mechanism 3 carries out the disk wash from the drying process unit 25 to the substrate w, and then inserts the substrate chuck 30 into the disk holder 30. Shuang 2, your cleaning tank 35 ' is used to clean the substrate slab 3G. Moreover, after the shovel is transferred to the substrate 1 and the substrate transfer position P1 is transferred to the first '6', the substrate chuck 3 is not washed. In the second substrate, the intersection of the second substrate is 97108014 58 200902415. The second intermediate robot 176 receives the movement of the unprocessed substrate W. [The discharge of the processed substrate] The first horizontal conveyance mechanism 6 holds the first horizontal conveyance adjacent to the first 1 n. When the substrate transfer position pi is waited (refer to FIG. 2, the transport mechanism 3 lifts the multi-piece process main held by the substrate chuck 30 to the first horizontal transport holding unit 12A. The slab W is collected to the processed substrate W. The i-th horizontal movement 'and the second horizontal conveyance holding portion 12 both = 9 degrees 'coordinated shift The substrate w of the carrier mechanism 5 is held at '2 ρ3. The first water transporting and holding unit moves to the transfer position to transport the transport mechanism 5 so that the support guide shaft 91 is held below the first horizontal conveyance π 120. At this time, the guiding and rotating mechanism 1G5 controls the rotational position of the supporting guide shaft 91 so that the second abutting portions 114 of the guiding shaft 91 face each other. The transfer mechanism 5 utilizes the actuator 95. The support guide shaft 91 is raised to a position above the upper portion of the work conveyance holding portion 120. During this ascending process, the wafer substrate w is transferred from the first horizontal conveyance holding portion 12A to the support guide shaft 91. At this time, the horizontal conveyance holding portion (10) maintains the state of the wafer substrate w at a half pitch in the Y direction, but the substrate W transferred to the support shaft 91 together is 25 of each of the i pieces. sheet. Thus, a batch of 50 substrates W is released into a group of 25 substrates. This is called batch release. After the batch release operation, the 1970108014 59 200902415 = transport mechanism 6 retracts the first horizontal transport holding portion 120 in the X direction (the first substrate delivery position P1 side). From the === position change position, the batch handle (9) is transformed into a vertical posture. In this way, it is placed at the transfer position P3 in a vertical posture. At this time, the batch handle 4 is first controlled so that the second support surface 72 is raised upward in the horizontal posture. The first?

In this manner, the substrate w is sandwiched between the support guides = ... guide projections 76. In: 2:7: drive; 疋 疋 turn motor 5 〇, # a month heart posture. In this way, the step handle 4〇 is rotated from the vertical posture to the water raft, and the 25 substrates W are changed from the vertical posture to the second position. After the posture change is completed, the guide is pushed and pulled to make the support w to hold/retract the small distance to the handle member. 70 rear, while lifting the direction of the substrate. Out of this machine 2 4 from the more toward the transfer box F to make the batch handle 4 ° along the 寺 temple, the automatic transfer box handling device 11 will be accommodated processing 97108014 200902415 = the second board W work transport box F is placed in the transport box holding portion After entering the transmission - each p takes the handle H..., the action of the actuator 65 is used again. In this manner, the substrate holders are formed in the transfer case F, and the substrates w are accommodated. On the evening of the transfer box F, prepare (four) stand / handle 4 〇 back and prepare for the next 25 pieces of substrate w. At the transfer position P3, the transfer mechanism 5 is waited for 120 to enter the transfer position, the upper alpha, and the Q1^ battle P3. At the time of the rotation, the transfer mechanism 5 moves the support guide and the cymbal 91 in the Y direction by a half pitch so that the second holding guide holds the remaining 25 # transport holding portion 120: the position of the remaining 25 substrates w and the substrate support In addition, correspondingly, the loading/removing Z+ is set to the σ moving base 6 3 together with the Υ == mechanism 4 to move the supporting guide 8 ° and the moving direction by a half pitch. = The first horizontal conveyance holding portion 12G is again in the human state. The transfer mechanism 5 is configured to support the guide shaft 91: holding the upper position above her. The 25 substrates W held by the transport holding unit 120 are handed over to the support (four) axis 12 at the same time. Transfer from: P3 == Machine: 6: First horizontal conveyance holding unit 4〇From horizontal posture/I: The carry-out mechanism 4 sets the batch p3. From this state, the vertical position can be guided to the transfer position < such a center, the transfer mechanism 5 causes the support support portion 41 to be lowered (4) down to the guide shaft 91 to place 25 others. In the process, the support substrate ^ is transferred from the w substrate w to the support under the batch handle 4Q. 97108014 61 200902415 Then, the introduction/retraction mechanism 87 of the loading/unloading mechanism 4 causes the support guide to be pushed forward. In this manner, the substrate W is sandwiched between the second guide projections 76 at the ends of the support guide 80 and the handle member 70. In this state, the drive, rotary motor 5G' rotates the batch of handles from a vertical position to a horizontal position. As a result, the 25 substrates w are changed from the vertical posture to the horizontal level. After the posture change is completed, the lead-in and pull-out mechanism 87 causes the support guide 80 to retreat a small distance to the rear of the handle member 7 to release the holding of the substrate W. The loading/unloading mechanism 4 advances the batch handle 4G in the γ direction toward the transport cassette F. At this time, the front automatic transfer cassette transporting unit 11 arranges the empty transport cassette F for accommodating the processed substrate W in the transport cassette holding portion, and the batch handle 40 is lowered to a minute height after entering the transport box F. This is used to: a plurality of substrate holders formed in the transfer case F, respectively, a substrate W. [Second Embodiment] Lu is a diagram for showing a substrate of another embodiment of the present invention: a human 2". Fig. 26 is a perspective view of a schematic diagram for indicating between a transfer benefit and a parent position. In the first embodiment, the main transport mechanism 3 delivers the substrate w to the first horizontal transport mechanism 6 on the first substrate, and the second transport substrate is transported to the flat transport mechanism 7 The 2nd Pibe 11th substrate processing device 200 Yin, horizontally moving (4) ί mechanism 7 omitting 'only one horizontal transport mechanism 6 is set. The water thousand transport _6_ action is on the substrate money position £ρί 97108014 62 200902415 The unprocessed substrate W is delivered to the main transport mechanism 3, and the processed substrate w from the main transport mechanism 3 is received at the substrate transfer position P1. The horizontal transport mechanism 6 is also subjected to the above-described batch release operation. The batch transfer operation by the second horizontal transport mechanism 7 in the i-th embodiment is performed. The horizontal transport mechanism 6 maintains the substrate holding position of the first guide 135 higher than the second guide while holding the unprocessed substrate ψ丨36 substrate holding position, in the first The guide member 135 holds the unprocessed substrate ¥. Further, when the horizontal transfer mechanism 6 holds the substrate w, the substrate holding position of the second guide 135 is lower than the substrate holding position of the second guide 136, and the second guide is provided. j 36. The substrate W is processed. The substrate orientation alignment mechanism may be disposed at the position P4 corresponding to the second substrate transfer position P2 in the first embodiment. In this case, the main transport mechanism 3 is at the substrate transfer position P1. The horizontal conveyance mechanism 6 collects the unprocessed substrate W彳4'. The substrate orientation alignment mechanism at the position P4 transfers the unprocessed substrate W. Then, after the substrate orientation operation, the main conveyance mechanism 3 receives the substrate from the substrate orientation alignment mechanism. w. The first and second guides 135 and 136 are provided in the first and second horizontal transport mechanisms 6 and 7 in the first embodiment. It is used to change the above. However, in the operation of the first embodiment, the first horizontal transport mechanism 7 is used to hold and transport the substrate w, and the second horizontal transport structure 7 is specifically used for holding and transporting. Processing substrate W, so no need 97108014 63 200902415 A substrate holding guide and a structure for changing the same are provided, as long as the substrate holding guide is commonly used. However, in order to increase the substrate transport speed, the first and second horizontal transport mechanisms 6 can also be used. 7: The handling operation of any of the substrate W and the unprocessed substrate w is processed. In this case, the second and second guides 135 and 136 are switched by the processed substrate W and the unprocessed substrate w. It is possible to suppress or prevent the transfer of the foreign matter to the processed substrate w. In the first embodiment, the second and second intermediates are provided for the second horizontal transfer mechanism to transfer the substrate between the main transport mechanisms 3. The robots 175 and 176 may be omitted, and the second, flat transport mechanism 6 and the main transport mechanism 3 may be directly transferred to the substrate. However, it is preferable to provide the first and second intermediary robots 175 and 176 from the viewpoint of selecting the substrate orientation mechanism and shortening the waiting time of the second substrate transfer position p2 of the second horizontal transport mechanism 6. Further, in the second embodiment, the second substrate and the second substrate may be interchanged, and the second substrate (for the unprocessed substrate w) may be placed on the side closer to the substrate processing portion 2. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the loading/unloading mechanism 4 is a batch combination, and the support guide 8 is moved by a half pitch. However, after the substrate (7) is delivered to the transfer mechanism 5, the transfer mechanism 5 is performed. Supporting the movement of the guide shaft 91, and then transferring the substrate 从 from the support guide shaft 91: to the second horizontal transport mechanism 7, the batch combination can be performed. The same can be said, so no support is required. Further, in the above embodiment, the housing for accommodating the substrate w is 97108014 64 200902415, which is a transfer case for housing the substrate w in a sealed state (1; '01^.
