As shown in FIG. 5, in the state in which the glass substrate G is placed on the entrance and exit retracting unit 57, the slide pickup 52 enters the processing chamber 10, and the entrance and exit retracting unit 57 becomes a slave. The state in which the main body portion 56 enters and exits. Next, the lift pins 130 are raised, and the glass substrate G is received from the entrance and exit evacuation portion 57. Then, the slide pickup 52 is ejected from the processing chamber 1 to the transfer chamber 20, and the lift pins 130 are lowered, and the glass substrate G is placed on the susceptor 1〇1. On the other hand, when the substrate G which has been processed is transferred from the lift pin 130 to the entrance and exit avoidance portion 57, the process is reversed by the above-described case. When the glass substrate G is transported to the processing chamber 10 by the transport device 50 as described above, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the motor 6 of the main drive mechanism 6 is driven to rotate the pulley 62, thereby causing the belt 63 to be rotated. And the pulley 64 rotates. At this time, the clamp member 65 provided on the belt 03 moves, and the body portion 56 of the slide pickup 52 mechanically coupled to the clamp member 65 moves. In the present embodiment, the sub-drive mechanism 80 is as As described above, since the drive source is the same as that of the main drive mechanism 60, the movement of the main body portion 56 is moved, and the entrance and exit avoidance portion 57 is moved. Further, the sub-drive mechanism 80 has a configuration in which the drive unit is configured similarly to the main drive unit. However, in the transmission path of the power, the reduction gear 83 is inserted into and out of the drive unit 57, and the amount of movement forming the main body unit 56 is decelerated. . In other words, with respect to the sub-drive mechanism 80, the first pulley 82a that is hoisted from the main body portion 56 rotates as the wheel body portion 56 moves, and the first pulley 82a rotates. While being decelerated by the speed reducer 83, the second pulley is wound around the second pulley 84 and the third pulley 8.6, and the pulley 8 is provided on the belt 85. The entrance and exit relief portion 57 that is mechanically coupled to the clamp member 87 will move in and out of the main body portion 56. By placing the entrance/exit portion 57 of the glass substrate G in this manner, the glass substrate G can be transported to a desired position in the processing unit 1 . In this case, the slide pickup unit 5 2 is located in the transfer chamber 20, and the escape portion 57 is located on the main body portion 56. These overlapping shapes allow the transfer chamber 20 to be downsized. In this case, the glass substrate G is transported to the processing chamber 1 and the support member itself composed of the first support structure and the second support member 57a may be extended as long as the entry and exit relief portion 57 is moved in and out, and must be in the processing chamber 1 A mechanism for driving the pickup in the past is inserted into the simple and thin mechanism portion insertion process for telescopically supporting the support member, and the opening of the processing chamber 10 can be avoided. Playing 60 with the same amount, so the movement of the front ^ 63 and the rotation 84, borrowing will move, and make the movement, in and out, when, the state, due to the time, is a piece of 5 6a, therefore no part, only g 10, -22- In the case where the slide pickup 52 enters the processing chamber 10, the entry/exit relief portion 57 may be inserted into and out of the main body portion 56 as long as it is less than half of the total length. Therefore, only the main body portion 56 is mainly moved from the entrance and exit retracting portion 57 to the main body portion 56. Applying a downward load reduces the bending moment. Therefore, the load applied to the mechanism portion of the sub-drive mechanism 80 provided in the main body portion 56 can be reduced, whereby the structure of the sub-drive mechanism 80 and the like can be simplified. Further, since the weight and the impedance of the ingress and egress portion 57 can be lowered, the size of the belt 85 (synchronous belt) for driving can be reduced, so that the conveying mechanism can be downsized. Next, a second embodiment of the transport device 50 will be described.

The pressurized air is supplied to the telescopic cylinder 9 1 (the cylinder moves the telescopic rod 9 1 a, the belt 94 moves, and the small pulley 9 3 a rotates. Thereby, the fourth pulley 93 (large pulley) rotates. The belt pulley 5 is rotated. The clamp member 98 provided on the belt 96 is moved so that the ingress and egress portion 57 that is mechanically coupled to the clamp member 98 is in the present embodiment. As described above, since the sub-drive mechanism 90 is different from the main drive mechanism 6 动, the sub-drive mechanism 90 can move independently of the main body portion 56 to move in and out of the evacuation portion 57. Further, the sub-drive mechanism 90 has the above-described power transmission path. Pulley 93 (large pulley)' and its small pulley 93a. Therefore, the entry and exit 5 7 can be compared with the telescopic rod 9 1 a The amount of movement is increased only by the speed of the fourth pulley 9 3 (large) and the small pulley 9 3 a.
