Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention pertains] The present invention relates to a substrate processing system and a substrate processing method for treating a substrate. [Prior Art] For example, a flat panel disPlay such as a liquid crystal display or a plasma display uses a glass substrate coated with a resist liquid ( Hereinafter also referred to as a coated substrate). The substrate processing system for obtaining the coated substrate is not limited to a coating device for applying a photoresist to a glass substrate (for example, see Patent Document 1), and a transfer device for transporting a glass substrate to a coating device. There are main control devices that integrate these devices. - Each of the coating device and the transport device is connected to the main control device by a dedicated communication line, and the transport device receives the command signal transmitted from the main control device, and the transport device transports the glass substrate to the coating device. The transport device that completes the transport of the glass substrate conveys the transported signal to the main control device. The main control device transmits a command signal to the coating device as soon as the received signal is received. When the coating device that receives the command signal starts coating the photoresist liquid until the coating is completed, the command signal of the main control device that transmits the coated signal is transmitted to the transport device to wait for the glass substrate from the main control device. In the substrate processing system of the Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-205120, the main control and the coating device are transported and supplied with automation, and the timing and/or photoresist is used as the main control. The 'device' or the factors such as the main control unit and the transport make it difficult to control the precise sequence. Therefore, it is also possible to shorten the time required to complete the operation of the substrate processing device and the transport device after the application of the coating device to shorten the time until the photoresist substrate is completed. The substrate processing apparatus of the operation part of the substrate processing angle of the present invention is 201015660. The processing of the glass substrate is the main control device. The coating substrate is received until the next process transport device and the coating device are operated, and the Γ·_ process (coating of the photoresist) is shortened. [Patent Document 1] 发明 ❺ [Explanation] As described above, the timing at the time of starting the conveyance of the command signal to the transport device substrate is controlled. However, when communication between the generation devices of the scan time is required, the operation of the coating device and the operation of the coating device are performed, and the glass substrate is transferred to the unloading coating. Therefore, the processing method of the present invention controls the substrate. It is easy to further solve the above-mentioned problem of having a signal for moving the substrate to be applied to the transport. In this way, the command signal is transmitted to the glass substrate during the manufacturing time of the glass substrate, and the scanning device and the coating device are applied to the coating of the conventional liquid. The system and the substrate timing connection system include: a device having a substrate for transmitting the substrate to the substrate processing device for 4 201015660 2, and sending a command signal to the substrate processing device and the moon 1J The main control unit of the device includes the substrate processing device and the transport. The feature includes: a transmission path for transmitting and receiving signals between the substrate processing device and the transport device (transmissi〇) n, pjth); by the signal transmitted between the substrate processing apparatus and the second transport 2 device transmitted through the transmission path, when the operation of the operation unit is completed, the movement of the transport σ [5] is started, and the operation unit is started. The control unit is in parallel with the movement of the transport and the movement. Further, the substrate processing method performed by the substrate processing system is such that the substrate processing unit is connected to and away from the substrate processing apparatus, and the substrate processing apparatus is configured to perform the processing of the substrate. According to the signal transmitted through the transmission path between the substrate processing apparatus and the transport apparatus, the movement of the transport unit is started before the operation element of the operation, and the operation unit is operated. The movement of the transport unit is parallel. According to the substrate processing system and the substrate processing method, since the signal is transmitted and received by the transmission path between the two-plate processing apparatus and the transport apparatus, the operation unit of the substrate processing apparatus and the transport unit of the transport apparatus are connected in time series. Control changes. Further, the control of the connection is caused by the movement of the conveyance unit before the operation of the operation unit is completed by the signal 'transmitted by the substrate processing and transporting means according to the transmission path. By performing the operation of the operation unit in parallel with the movement of the transport unit, the movement of the operation unit and the movement of the transport unit can be overlapped, and the 201015660 ❹ time can be shortened and the target position is not performed. The interference exceeds the position of the processing device and the front action portion is preferred. This situation is the location and the time at which the target exceeds the target relative to its direct reach at the target location time. However, the target position, state, is therefore approached to the substrate processing by the aforementioned excess to make the action part to and possibly. In the substrate processing system, the transport unit interference # that is movable by the delivery of the substrate and the movement direction exceeds the target position, and is not disposed with the transport position (overrun position). The substrate has an operation unit that moves the operation unit by decelerating the operation unit by decelerating the operation unit in the movement direction by the target position exceeding the position in the movement direction, and returning the front position 2 to the target position. Since the direction passes through the front of the target out position, the action part is immersed in two directions, so the action part can be quickly positioned. In the case where the moving part is not moved to the position beyond the position, but the target position is made, the general machine that moves the action of the moving piece is required to be decelerated after the action part is just after the target position , so that it stops, so the action part is violated F.丨Before reaching the target position, it is necessary to follow the above-mentioned excess control unit, and the operation unit can quickly overtake the operation timing at an early timing, and the delivery of the line substrate which does not interfere with the transport unit can be performed as early as * The timing allows the transport department to start picking up the device, and further time is required to shorten the station*. Further, the control unit causes the operation unit to be folded back to the target position by the position of the & > and the target position can be reached, so that the next action can be made. In the foregoing substrate processing apparatus, there is a case in which the ancients have just exceeded the control department.

The Jt shape is folded back by the control unit at the operation portion, and the movement of the transport portion is started before the operation is completed, and the movement of the movement position and the conveyance portion for the delivery of the substrate can be made. As a result, the work that is shortened by the time that is exceeded by the control unit is shortened by the operation between the operation unit and the movement of the transport unit. Further, 'the substrate processing apparatus has the above-described super-lowering' speed control, and the cymbal operating unit may reach the maximum moving speed by the above-described operation 卩, but the overspeed Ί control '俾 the above-mentioned operating unit reaches the maximum moving speed target position. Preferably. In this case, the operating portion can quickly exceed the target position timing to cause the transport portion to start approaching the substrate processing device. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, by moving the movement of the transport unit of the movable transport apparatus of the substrate processing apparatus, it is possible to shorten the transport time of the substrate and increase the productivity of the substrate. [Embodiment] When the target unit is reached, the operation unit that reaches the target position is superimposed on the target time. When the efficiency of the time-out control unit generated by the control is multiplied, the control unit advances the degree, and the operation and time of the earlier part can be shortened to the efficiency (processing efficiency 7 201015660 or less).

The trajectory of the gantry 13 is outside the trajectory (the robot part 3 1 is opposite to the platform 12), and is located in the frame 13 (see the movement of the robot hand 31 and the gantry carry-out control device 33). The robot portion 31 at the front position in the reciprocating motion of the gantry 13 is not in contact with the moving table 3(a)). That is, the interference can be prevented by the sensor 17a. Specifically, the robot portion 31 is borrowed. The position detecting unit 6C is located at the front position and is driven and controlled by © ❹ 201015660. It is assumed that the robot hand 31 is not in the front position but on the side of the flat A 12 'shifts the gantry i3 by the sensor (7) According to this, the robot hand 31 can be prevented from colliding with the gantry 13 in advance. Further, when the right hand unit 31 is moved to the front position, the transport control device 33 transmits the action signal through the communication line L5. The signal is transmitted to the coating control device 16. The receiving control device for receiving the preparation signal is received as follows: the entry is a trigger (that is, the entry preparation signal becomes the board 1 (tngger)), and the gantry i 3 Before the reciprocating action is completed, it starts to wait The robot portion 31 of the position is moved to the front position, so that the gantry: the repetitive motion is in parallel with the advancement of the robot hand 31. In addition, the robot hand 31 reaches the front position during the reciprocating motion. The reeling hand 31 is moved to the front position in advance, and the movement stroke of the robot hand 31 at the position on the standby position ^ platform 12 can be shortened in advance (... and the machine is made "before the reciprocating motion of the gantry 13 is completed When the hand 3 i is ready for the operation, the coating liquid can be overlapped between the reciprocating operation of the holder 13 for the processing of the substrate w and the movement of the robot 31 for receiving the substrate, and the receiving substrate W can be shortened. The time used in the substrate processing system 1 of the present invention: the second operation is: the parallel operation between the members: the coating device 3 applies the coating treatment to the substrate W In addition, the moving part is provided with a moving machine arm 30 (manipulator part 31) which is provided to move out the substrate w and move closer to the coating device body 10. ; horror control device 16 and carry-out control Set 33 through the special ❹ 201015660 connected by the communication line L5, τ " ι 通 k line L5 in the coating use and carry-out control device 33: control device 16 ^ 1 S ^ ^ Ψ μ ^. The transmission and reception of the number makes it possible to precisely control the operation of the gantry 13 and the movement of the robot arm 3Γ-f 'f ^ ^ ^ /λ 乍, and it is possible to perform the control of the illuminating operation. Procedure) The sequence of the substrate W coated with the coating liquid is carried out by the stage 12. The adsorption of the substrate W on the flat σ 12 is detected and the gantry device a is detected, and the initial position E is described (see the figure). 2) Then, after confirming that the sensor 17a is off, the load-out procedure is started. When the carriage 1 3 returns to the initial position w p , the coating control unit 16 controls the pin drive mechanism 15 so as not to raise the pin 14 as shown in Fig. 3 (b). According to this, the state in which the substrate W is carried away from the tip end of the pin 14 is caused. Here, when the pin 14 is raised, it is confirmed by the coating control device 16 that the sensor 17b becomes 0FF. In the case where the robot hand 31 is beyond the front position on the side of the platform 12, the rise of the pin 4 is stopped by the sensation of Is 1 7b. In other words, in the state where the robot 1 is not in the other position but on the side of the platform 1 2 and the pin i 4 is driven to move and the substrate W is raised, there are the robot 31 and the substrate w. Dry, and w 4. τ sand, the damage of the substrate W damage. Therefore, it is possible to avoid damage of the substrate w by confirming that the sensor 17b becomes 〇FF when the pin 14 is raised. The pin 14 is configured such that its tip can be moved to the upper target position above the thousand 12, and the upper target position of the upper target position is over-positioned, in order to transfer the substrate W to the robot The processing of the 卞 31 31 is performed at the upper limit operation 16 201015660 which will be described later. Further, the upper target position is a position at which the robot 3 丨 (manipulator 2!) can enter the stage 12, and the substrate is placed at a higher position. The robot hand 31 is also above the position, and the substrate w carried by the tip end of the pin 14 does not interfere with the delivery of the substrate w and approaches the robot hand 31 on the stage 12 in the horizontal direction. Further, the upper over position is a position higher than the upper target position, and even if the tip end of the pin 14 is in the upper out position, the base plate W on the tip does not interfere with the robot portion 31. The above-mentioned [overrun operation] is an operation "executed by the above-described control unit 16 for controlling the pin drive mechanism 15 beyond the control unit 7" as shown in FIG. 6 (illustration of the position of the tip end of the pin 14). The pin 14 is lowered by raising the pin 14 of the initial position (the tip is below the top surface of the platform 12) so that the tip end of the pin 14 passes upwardly through the upper target position and reaches the upper excess position, so that the tip end of the pin 14 is An action that folds back beyond the position and causes it to reach the upper target position. Since the coating control device si 6 (position detecting 胄 is information on the height position of the tip of the lock 14), it is possible to detect that the tip _ of the pin _ reaches the upper target position. Therefore, if the position detecting portion 6a In the above-described super-high, it is detected that the tip end of the pin 14 at the initial position is the upper target position, and the above-described application control device 16 transmits the communication line L5 (see FIG. The entry start signal from the front position to the front stage 12 is transmitted to the carry-out control unit 33. The carry-in control unit 33 of the incoming start signal is triggered by the entry start signal (that is, the start start signal becomes a trigger). When the robot hand 31 is started to enter the platform 12 before the above-mentioned over-running operation is completed, the upper-out action of the lock super 17 201015660 can be paralleled with the entry platform 12 of the robot hand 31 (including the parallel action of the first over-movement) Moreover, as shown on the way that the robot hand 31 enters the platform 12, it returns to the upper target position from the upper position and reaches the upper position 'this, before the action is completed on the pin 14 The machine 1 can start the process of transferring the substrate W, and the operation of the target position of the pin 14 can be overlapped with the robot hand 3 for carrying out the substrate w, and the time for delivering and transporting the substrate w can be shortened. The pin 7 that has stopped at the initial position is accelerated until the opening degree becomes a predetermined value (maximum moving speed) (the time value becomes constant speed. In the configuration of the machine 15 for raising and lowering the pin 14 at a high speed, in order to decelerate the pin 14 at a predetermined position before the position at which the pin 14 is stopped, the pin 14 is decelerated by the control of the control unit 7 The tip end position of the 14 is decelerated by the pin 1 4 (time 12 to 1; 3). Thus, the tip of the Q reaches the upper end position and the pin 14 4 is decelerated, so that the tip end of the pin 14 can quickly overtake the upper target. Position. - In addition, for example, as indicated by the broken line in Fig. 7, when the tip moves to the upper position, but directly reaches the upper target, the pin needs to be decelerated until the tip of the pin reaches the upper target position to stop (set the speed to Zero). Therefore, the time until the tip of the pin of the comparative example reaches the upper target position is only a slow time Δt. The action is shown in Fig. 3(c) $1 4 at the tip hidden position. The moving speed of the moving tip of the portion 31 reaches the upper moving speed. The speed is increased by 1 11), and the pin driving mechanism is stopped. In the present invention, it is required to reach the upper end because the pin 14 is in the initial position and is not the pin. The situation of the position 'in the upper target situation, to the most embodiment comparison 18 201015660 According to the embodiment, by the 饳, , , the end of the pin 14 reaches the upper target position early, the pin 14 can be obtained at an early timing, the tip of ^ The upper substrate w and the robot hand 31 do not interfere with the shape I. Therefore, * I , the delivery of the horse substrate W can be transmitted at an early timing, and the robot hand 31 starts to approach the flat &amp; 叮β仗 0, which can be shortened to the time required to transport the substrate. Moreover, by placing the button, , and so on, the pin 14 can be reached to the top of the upper target, and the position of the substrate can be made ready for the delivery of the substrate W.乍 Moreover, because it exceeds the control unit ❹

The control device 33 passes through the line M and the system, and carries out the ^^^^11, and transmits the pin lowering start number as the operation signal to the coating control unit] β w 11 6 . With the control device 16 6 - receiving the pin down start signal, the drop of the pin 14 at the upper position of the upper ^ Πϋ fi ^ n 7 * starts C and Fig. 6 and time t5) of Fig. 7. ^ J tb; that is, the lowering of the ascending shift pin 14 of the robot hand 31 is performed in parallel, and the top surface of the robot hand 31 is overtaken by the A 钿 of the pin 14 and displaced to the upper side. The upper substrate W is transferred to the machine 201015660. By lowering the pin 14 together with the rise of the robot portion, the rising distance of the robot hand 31 required for the delivery of the substrate W can be reduced. Further, the 'movement unit 31 located at the following position starts to move between the receiving substrate W' and the carry-out control device 33 transmits an in-operation operation signal as the operation signal 'number to the coating control device 16 via the communication line 15. . ^ Further, after the pin 14 located at the upper target position at time t5 starts to descend in Figs. 6 and 7, the deceleration starts at time t6, and then the delivery of the substrate w is actually performed. That is, when the delivery of the substrate W is performed, the lowering speed of the pin 14 is made low. This is to weaken the collision given to the substrate w when the substrate w is delivered. Moreover, 'If the delivery is completed (Shi Hai &quot; 7), the lowered pin 14 is accelerated to switch the descending speed to a high speed, and the lower target position (time t8) is exceeded and decelerated to reach the lower excess position (time cut). Then, the direction of movement of the pin 14 is reversed to the lower target position (time t 1 0 ) ° lit 'the error is lowered by the pin 14 of the field at the upper target position by the Oda, so that the tip of the pin 14 Thin, Gan, and then pass down to the lower target position and reach the lower position. After the pin 14 is up, the tip of the pin 14 is folded back from the lower position © and the lower end of the pin is reached. The lower position is beyond the position of the position. For the lower target position and the lower position, the explanation will be given later. - When the robot arm 30 is moved out; 14 The robot hand 3 of the boiled water is equipped with a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the substrate w (Fukuk, you', the control device 33 can detect the robot.

In the state of being moved, it is not affected by the movement of the gantry 13. Therefore, the [front position] of the robot hand 21 is set in the position of the movement of the gantry 13 at a position close to the front of the platform 12. In the front position of the robot hand 21, the robot hand 21 and the substrate 6b are stepped. Specifically, the position detecting unit of the loading control device 23 causes the robot hand 21 to be driven by the retracted position at the front position. 21 201015660. It is assumed that the action of the pin 14 is locked by the sensor 17c by the 0N on the side of the platform j 2 from the front position. Accordingly, the robot 21 can be prevented from colliding with the substrate W in advance. As shown in Fig. 4(e), the substrate W is received by the mechanical contiguous portion 31, and the coating control device 16 receives the substrate receiving signal, and detects that the tip of the pin 14 reaches the lower target position (Fig. 6 and At time (8) of Fig. 7, the manipulator 31 is made flat by the communication line L5 as an action signal. The retraction start signal (the trigger for the retraction start) that has been retracted to the standby position side of the stage 12 is transmitted to the carry-out control device 33. The carry-out control unit 33 that receives the retraction start signal is carried out by the carry-out drive mechanism 32. The robot unit 31 is retracted (see FIG. 4(f)). Together with the transmission of the back-off start signal, the coating control unit 6 transmits the robot unit 21 as an operation signal via the communication line L4. When the A/A position of u starts to enter the start of the operation of the start signal on the platform i 2, the transfer 5^ is sent to the carry-in control device 23. The move for receiving the start signal is also used for the move. 〇〇# The eight-segment control device 23 is moved into the drive mechanism 22, and the 基板 主 主 01 01 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 文 ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' The moving-in and out-out movement of the unit is performed and the retracting operation of the τ 4 31 is performed, and the robot unit 2 is placed on the stage 1 2, and the τ and the substrate W are carried into the coating apparatus main body 1 in parallel. Robot 3 1 # rw* ^ 1 returns to standby Between the two, the carry-out operation starts with the i 33; ^ L5 is sent to the coating control main 1p device 16 as the retracting operation of the operation signal. The robot unit 31 — goes beyond the front 22 201015660 and retreats to the standby position. &quot;, summer, and round 4 (g)), the carry-out control device 33 transmits the retraction completion signal as the &gt;f action 彳S唬 to the coating control device 16 through the center line L 5 . It is assumed that the main control unit 2 can perform control for issuing a command signal for permitting the start of the movement of the robot arm 30. Moreover, the right-handling control device is directly detected by the aforementioned sensor (not shown) on the mechanical hand 31, and the force is transmitted through the communication line L5. The substrate is transferred to the main control device 2 via the communication line L3, and the main control device 2 updates the P0S data of the substrate $ on which the coating liquid is applied. Further, the substrate W carried out by the stage 12 is subjected to a drying process of 5, 丨τ, &lt; the next process using a drying device (VCD). (3. Loading procedure) A loading procedure for loading the next substrate W to which the coating liquid is applied into the stage 12 will be described. In the above-described excess operation, if the tip end of the pin 14 reaches the lower end ❹ f (the time 18 in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7) and becomes below the lower target position, the coating control device 1 is described. 6Transfers the retraction start signal for the robot hand 31 to be retracted from the platform 1 to Ά 4dfc «σ machine position side, and ? The control device 16 transmits the incoming start signal 2 to the loading control device 23 by the communication line L4 (refer to FIG. 1), which causes the robot hand 21 to enter the platform 12 from the front position. . Moving control device 23·, t_% - month 1J [Entering the start signal, as shown in Fig. 4 (f), moving the robot in the front position §β 9 1 # 4 义丁#21 to the platform 12 . Month's [the lower target position is shown in Fig. 4(f) is the machine 23 carrying the substrate w. 201015660 W Μ tW is leveled. The position on the 12 is the substrate on the robot portion 31. / at the tip end of the pin 14, and the robot hand 21 is moved into the platform. The lower position of the target position is lower. Moreover, at the ratio-out position, 棬:y·» is described as being out of position, even if the lower one is as good as before, the substrate on the hand 31? It does not interfere with the tip end of the pin 14. Entering the start letter:: Entering the machine (the second start signal of the loading control device 23 takes the current opportunity (that is, it becomes the trigger before going through the action*), at the beginning. According to this: The access of the portion 21 is opened in order to move into the substrate W, so that it can be paralleled with the lower end of the entry of the manipulator 21 onto the platform 12 by the second overrun (including the parallel operation). And the whole mountain long manipulator 21 on the table 12 enters the middle of the flat a, the tip end of the pin 14 is from the lower position and reaches the lower target position. The return from the out position to the lower target control device 16 ψ The lower movement is performed by the coating device, and the control unit is further described. The oscillating mechanism 15 is configured to be the substrate 2 by the entry of the movement 14 beyond the pin 14 . The time required for the tip end of the robot to reach the lower target position and the time required for the movement of the robot hand 21 for processing the pin 14 from one substrate W to the pin 14 substrate W. , _Stack' can be shortened to the front of the shipping position (time t8) ~ t9) Deceleration, the pin causes the pin 14 to move beyond the lower target position. Therefore, the tip of the early stage can quickly superimpose the state of the substrate W and the tip of the pin 14 ^^ the hand on the robot hand 21 21 starts to approach the platform 12, which makes the machine ''new transport substrate ft for 201015660 at an early timing. And 'as shown in Fig. 4(g), if the robot 2i敕 reaches the tip of the pin 14 In the upper position, it is moved to the horizontal direction reverse control 奘罟9 q * The communication line L4 will be used as the action signal for the pin-through control device 16. At this time, 'the sensor number is transmitted to the coating. It is confirmed that the robot hand 31 is not present on the table 12: the interference between the flat plate and the substrate w is prevented. Further, the coating control device 16 of the manipulator portion causes the pin to start the signal. The top surface of the portion 21 is displaced to the upper side, :::: mechanical 偯 5 5 Platinum Hu, A 丨 0 丨 "the upper substrate is transferred to the pin 14 (refer to Figure 4 (h)).

The avoidance start signal and the 4^ access control device 2 3 take the back-off start signal as an opportunity (ie, retreat Gentleman, '.4 becomes a trigger.' 'When the above action is exceeded, the manipulator 2 is finished. ★ τ ^丨 is started by the platform 1 2 retreat. According to this, the pin exceeding operation can be partially paralleled with the movement of the robot unit 21 by the platform 12 (the parallel movement of the second out of action). Further, as shown in Fig. 5(i), on the way back from the platform 12, the _tip of the pin 返回 is returned to the upper target position by the upper super 屮 &amp; 0:1 position and reaches the upper target position. &quot; In this way, the withdrawal of the robot hand 25 201015660 21 is started before the movement of the lock 14 is completed, and the tip of the pin &quot; can be reached to the upper target position for the process of loading the substrate w The operation overlaps with the movement time of the robot portion η after the substrate w is carried in, and the time required for the conveyance of the substrate w can be shortened. Moreover, the tip end of the pin 14 can quickly overtake the upper target position by causing the tip end of the pin 14 to decelerate in front of the over-exceed position during the over-exertion action, causing the robot hand 21 to be on the platform 12 at an early timing. Retreat can shorten the time required for the substrate: W. And, when the robot hand 21 moves to the platform 12, the substrate|transfer β is transferred between the pins 14, and the loading control device 23 transmits the signal into the operation as the motion nickname through the communication line u. Coating control device ^ 6. On the other hand, when the substrate w on the mandrel 21 is transferred to the pin 14, the carry-in control device 23 transmits a signal indicating that the substrate is an operation signal to the coating control device 16 via the communication line u. Further, as shown in Fig. 5(j), the loading control device 23 retracts the robot hand 2ι to the standby position side. When the robot unit 21 returns to the standby position L, the loading control device 23 transmits the © as the operation signal via the communication line L4, and transfers the nickname to the coating control device 16. When the robot 21 is in a state of being overtaken to the standby position and is retracted to the standby position, the loading control device 23 transmits a signal indicating that the operation signal is retracted to the coating control device 16 via the communication line [4]. The coating control device 16 receives the aforementioned retraction signal, and as shown in (k), the pin 4 of the carrier substrate w is lowered to be in a state in which the substrate is double loaded on the stage 12. At this time, the interference of the robot hand 21 and the substrate w is avoided by the sensor i 7c being 〇FF. Further, the base 201015660 plate w is adsorbed to the flat a 19 row robot hand 2 to reach the above-mentioned coating system... and it becomes possible to enter the standby position, and the main control device 2 is discharged into the robot arm. This is the state of control according to the command signal starting with \. In the substrate processing system 1 configured as described above, the coating-unloading device 5 can not directly read the sacred device 3 and: directly borrows, communicates with the main control device 2, and the coating device 3 and the mobile device are moved. The line L5 can be passed through the communication line &quot;Tong, 4 without passing through the main control unit 2, so that the movement of the loading and unloading unit 4 is precisely connected when the application device 3 and the unloading device 5 are operated. It is easy to control the timing of the operation of the precision coating device 3 and the crucible. Second, by the carry-out control device 33 and the carry-in control device 23, the communication line L5 and the "transmission operation signal = 4 (the truss 13) reach the target position (the robot is placed before the operation is completed). When the movement of the part is started, the movement of the pin) to the target position (the position where the work is completed) can be overlapped with the movement time of the robot hand by the movement of the substrate w. Therefore, the movement can be shortened to the liquid. In the case of the time Q required to carry out the process until the substrate w is carried out, the production efficiency (processing efficiency) of the substrate w can be made. "Parallel operation performed by the substrate processing system 51 of the embodiment of the month. As shown in Fig. 8, the substrate processing system 51 is a substrate processing apparatus, and the drying device (10)) 4, the loading device 4, and the loading and unloading In the apparatus 5, the dry coating 40 is used to dry the substrate coating film coated with the coating liquid by the coating device 3.

The lid drive mechanism 43 is raised and lowered. The loading device 4 and the loading unit 5 are the same as those of the user in Fig. 1. The substrate is dried by the drying robot f 46, as shown in item 8 (a): the cover 42 is The base 41 is located at the lowest position, and the lid 42 and the base are formed with a drying space v in a sealed state on the top surface. , located at the top of the base... below the top.
