A temperature rise control device for the heating device of the processing system. [Prior Art] In general, a photolithography process for manufacturing a semiconductor device is, for example, a photoresist coating process in which a photoresist liquid is applied onto a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer to form a photoresist film. The photoresist film is subjected to various processes such as exposure treatment for exposing a predetermined pattern, development processing for developing an exposed photoresist film, and heat treatment for drying a wafer after development. These series of processes are usually performed using a coating development processing system. The coating development processing system includes, for example, a cassette station that carries in and out of the substrate in a cassette unit, and a processing station in which a plurality of processing units for performing various processing on the substrate are disposed, and an adjacent exposure apparatus and processing An interface station that transfers substrates between stations, etc. (Patent Document 1). For example, in the coating development processing system disclosed in Patent Document 1, a plurality of heating devices installed in the processing station are usually provided so that the processing of the wafer to be carried into the coating development processing system can be immediately started. Standby in a state where the temperature is raised to a predetermined temperature in advance. In this case, when the coating development processing system is started, the temperature rise of the heating device is performed by means of, for example, an electric heater built in the heating device of -5 - 201117257. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2006-287178 (Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, the heating device is in a state of being warmed up to a predetermined temperature. The power consumption of the electric heater is a portion that supplements only the heat radiated from the heating device to the outside of the heating device. The electric power required for the heat insulation is the electric power required to increase the temperature of the heating device, that is, less than half of the electric power at the time of peaking. Therefore, when the power consumption during the normal operation of the application processing system and the power consumption during the temperature rise of the heating device are compared, the power consumption during the normal operation is less than or equal to half of the power consumption when the heating device is heated. The power device provided in the upper position of the power system to which the development processing system is applied, such as a power device such as a transformer or a breaker, although the power consumption during the normal operation of the coating development processing system is the temperature rise of the heating device At least half of the consumption power of the time, there is still a need for endurance design for the peak of the power consumption of the coating development processing system. Therefore, an electric power device that has an excess capacity for the consumption power of the normal operation of the coating development processing system is formed, and an extra cost is incurred in the installation of the electric power device. 0, and when the transformer is operated in a load region far below the rated point. , change -6 - 201117257 The efficiency of the press will be worse. Therefore, from the viewpoint of energy saving, it is also preferable to reduce the consumption power at the peak, so that the capacity of the power equipment is close to the power consumption during normal operation. In view of the above, the present invention has an object of reducing the power consumption at the time of peaking when the temperature of the heating device of the substrate processing system is raised. (Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention for achieving the above object is a method for controlling the temperature rise of a plurality of heating devices in a substrate processing system, the substrate processing system including a plurality of heating devices for heating the substrate, The substrate is processed in the order set in a predetermined processing method (recipe), wherein the plurality of heating devices are heated according to at least one of the following or a combination of two or more rules, that is, set in the foregoing The processing procedure of the substrate of the predetermined processing method is the rule of heating the heating device: in the plurality of heating devices arranged in the vertical direction, the heating means arranged in the lower direction is heated to the order of the heating device disposed above: a step of sequentially heating the heating device having a short development time from the start of the temperature rise to the temperature rise to the heating device having a long development time; and 'heating the heat radiated from the heating device as the temperature of the heating device is increased Carrying out the above plurality of heating devices to other heating devices Warming. According to the present invention, since the temperature rise of the heating device is performed stepwise according to the rule defined in 201117257 when the substrate processing system is started, the peak of the power consumption at the time of starting the substrate processing system can be reduced. Therefore, the capacity of the power equipment installed in the upper position of the power system of the coating development processing system can be reduced as compared with the case where the temperature of each heating device is increased in the same manner as in the related art. Thereby, the cost of setting up the power device can be reduced. In addition, when the substrate processing system is started, that is, the difference between the power consumption at the peak time and the power consumption during normal operation is small, it is possible to operate the power device such as a transformer provided in the upper position of the substrate processing system. Closer to the point of the rated point. Therefore, the efficiency of the operation of the electric equipment is increased, and the energy loss in the electric equipment can be reduced. In addition, when the temperature of the heating device is increased, the heat emitted from the heating device after the temperature rise or the heating device during the temperature rise is transmitted to the other heating device, and the temperature is raised. Therefore, the time required for the temperature rise of the heating device can be shortened. When the heating device is heated by the processing order of the substrate set in the predetermined processing method, the heating device may be heated before the heating of the substrate in accordance with the processing order of the substrate set in the processing method. In the completed manner, the period of temperature rise of each of the heating devices is controlled. It is also possible to monitor the total amount of electric power consumed by the plurality of heating devices, and control the amount of electric power supplied to each of the heating devices so that the total amount of the consumed electric power does not exceed a predetermined value. In this case, the amount of electric power supplied to the heating device may be reduced by -8 - 201117257 in the reverse order of the processing procedure of the substrate set in the processing method. Each of the plurality of heating devices includes a heating plate on which a substrate is placed and heated, and the heating plate is divided into a plurality of fields, and a temperature can be set in each of the fields, and when the heating plate is heated, the heating plate can be heated from the heating plate. The outer side is heated to the inside of the heating plate to heat the heat treatment plate. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a program for operating a computer for controlling a control device of the substrate processing system in order to cause the temperature increase control method of the heating device to be performed by a substrate processing system. Further, according to the present invention from another viewpoint, it is possible to provide a computer memory medium capable of reading in a storage mode. Further, according to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a substrate processing system for processing a substrate in accordance with a plurality of heating means for heating a substrate, wherein the substrate processing system is processed in the order of a predetermined processing method, and has at least one of the following, or a control device for heating the plurality of heating devices by combining two or more rules, that is, a rule for heating the heating device in a processing order of the substrate set in the predetermined processing method; and the plurality of the plurality of stacked in the vertical direction In the heating device, the heating device disposed below is heated to the temperature of the heating device disposed above, and the heating device is heated from the heating device to the heating device having a short heating time to the heating device having a long development time. The plurality of heating devices are configured such that heat radiated from the heating device can be transmitted to the other device as the temperature of the heating device is increased from -9 to 201117257. In the control device, when the heating device is heated in the processing order set in the predetermined process, the temperature of the heating device in the substrate can be pre-finished in the processing order of the substrate in each of the heating devices. The beginning of the warming up. The control device can further monitor the total amount of the consumed electric power, and control the electric power supplied to each of the heating devices in a manner that is determined by the total amount of the consumed electric power. In this case, it is also possible to control the halo reduction supplied to the above-described boosting force in the reverse order of the processing order set on the substrate. Each of the plurality of heating devices includes a substrate hot plate, the heating plate is divided into a plurality of fields, and a temperature can be set, and the control device can further increase the temperature to the heater plate from the outside of the heating plate. The inside of the heat is heated to control the heat treatment plate. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, in the temperature-increasing substrate processing system, the power consumption at the time of peaking can be reduced. [Embodiment] The substrate of the heating method is set before the heating, and when the heating and heating devices are not heated by the heat of the heat treatment device of the amount reduction processing method, the heating plates are applied to the respective fields.

201117257 40〜43時,以各熱處理單元40〜43的昇溫能夠預先完了的 方式,控制各熱處理單元40〜43的昇溫開始的時期。 具體而言,例如以圖1 0所示的程序來進行昇溫時,被 搬入塗佈顯像處理單元1的晶圓W按照處理方法來搬入熱 處理單元42爲止所要的時間是比熱處理單元42的熱板1 12c 的昇溫期間Hcl短的時間Hx。於是,在熱處理單元41的熱 板1 1 2b的昇溫完了的時間點往塗佈顯像處理單元1搬入晶 圓W時,按照處理方法來將晶圓W搬送至熱處理單元42的 時間點是熱處理單元42的昇溫未完了,造成晶圓W的處理 會停滯。此情況,例如圖1 0中虛線所示,只要預先設定昇 溫方法,使開始昇溫熱處理單元42的熱板1 12c的時機不是 在熱板11 2b的昇溫完了後,而是在熱板112b的昇溫中,且 從熱板1 12b的昇溫完了到熱板1 12c的昇溫完了的期間比時 間Hx更短,便可藉由控制裝置150來適當地控制熱板112c 的昇溫,不會有晶圓W的處理停滯的情形。並且,在如此 進行昇溫的控制下,可縮短從塗佈顯像處理系統1的起動 到晶圓W的處理開始的等待時間,因此可使塗佈顯像處理 系統1的生產性提升。有關熱板112c以後進行熱處理的熱 板1 12d、1 12a之晶圓W的處理停滯的迴避之方法也是同樣 的,因此省略說明。 另外,藉由提早各熱板112a〜112d的昇溫開始的時機 ,例如圖1 1中虛線所示,有可能相當於電力加熱器1 2 1的 額定値之電力會同時被供給至各熱處理單元4〇〜43中複數 的熱處理單元。該情況,恐會有在塗佈顯像處理系統1的 -22- 201117257 消費電力超過上位的電源系統的額定値,例如設置於電力 系統的保護繼電器等跳脫之虞。因此,爲了防止如此的保 護繼電器等的跳脫,亦可例如設置監視被供給至各熱處理 單元4〇〜43的電力加熱器121的電力總量之檢測手段152, 藉由控制裝置1 50來進行限制供給至各熱處理單元40〜43 的電力量之控制,而使藉由檢測手段1 5 2所檢測出的消費 電力的總量不會超過所定的値,例如保護繼電器等的保護 動作的設定値。 以不會超過保護繼電器等的保護動作的設定値之方式 ,限制供給至各熱處理單元40〜43之電力的量時,亦可例 如以和設定於處理方法之晶圓W的加熱處理的順序相反的 順序,亦即在本實施形態中是以熱處理單元40、43、42 ' 4 1的順序來使供給至各熱處理單元的電力量減少。如此一 來’即使發生需要藉由控制裝置1 50來限制供給至各熱處 理單元40〜43的電力量時,還是可按照被設定於處理方法 之晶圓W的處理順序來繼續熱處理單元40〜43的昇溫。因 此’不會有因熱板112的昇溫未完了所引起晶圓W的處理 中斷之情形。 以上的實施形態是對於一個的熱板112設置一個的電 力加熱器1 2 1 ’但亦可例如圖1 2所示,將熱板1 1 2區劃成同 心圓狀的3個領域A〗〜A3,在各領域分別設置電力加熱器 121 ’爲可在每個領域進行溫度設定的構成。如此在熱板 1 1 2設置複數的領域a〗〜A3下,例如在將熱板1 1 2昇溫時 ’可從熱板1 1 2的外側往內側,亦即依領域A1〜領域A3的 -23- 201117257 順序開始昇溫。藉此’使領域A1的熱傳達至往領域A3的 方向,可更抑制熱板II2的昇溫所要的電力的消費量。另 外,在圖12中是繪出3個的領域A1〜A3,但區劃的數量並 非限於3個,且區劃的形狀也可不爲同心圓狀,例如可爲 扇型狀等。 並且,藉由控制裝置1 50來限制供給至各熱處理單元 40〜43的電力量時,例如可不是同時限制往熱板112的領 域A 1〜A3的全部電力加熱器1 2 1供給電力,而是例如以能 夠由內側的領域,亦即從領域A3往領域A 1的順序來限制 的方式進行控制。如此一來,即使往領域A2及領域A3之 電力的供給量被控制裝置1 50所限制時,還是可例如藉由 來自領域A1的熱傳導來進行領域A1及領域A2的昇溫。 另外,以上的實施形態的昇溫方法是以熱處理單元40 〜43的昇溫開始的順序與處理方法之晶圓W的加熱處理的 順序能夠一致的方式來設定昇溫開始的順序,但設定於昇 溫方法之昇溫開始的順序,亦可例如由熱板1 1 2的昇溫開 始到昇溫完了的制定時間短的順序開始昇溫者,或使層疊 於上下方向而配置的熱處理單元40〜43由配置於下方的熱 處理單元40到配置於上方的熱處理單元43的順序開始昇溫 者。 由熱板1 1 2的昇溫開始到昇溫完了的制定時間短的順 序開始昇溫時,例如在圖1 0中以昇溫所要的時間短的順序 ’亦即熱板1 12c、1 12a、1 12b、1 12d的順序來設定昇溫方 法。在如此設定昇溫方法時,例如圖13所示進行各熱處理 -24- 201117257 單元40〜43的熱板1 12a〜1 12d的昇溫。此情況,至昇溫完 了的制定時間短的熱板例如熱板1 1 2c可在到達設定溫度Tc 後以少的電力來傳達熱至其他的熱處理單元。 又,根據發明者們驗證,例如從熱處理單元4 1放射的 熱,相較於熱處理單元40,更容易對熱處理單元42傳達。 亦即從一熱處理單兀放射的熱,相較於位在下方的熱處理 單元,更容易對位在上方的熱處理單元傳達。因此,可使 熱處理單元4〇〜43由下往上,亦即以熱處理單元40、41、 42、43的順序開始昇溫。該情況,可最有效率進行各熱處 理單元40〜43的昇溫。 另外,例如使熱處理單元40〜43以由下往上的順序來 昇溫時,或以至熱處理單元40的昇溫完了的制定時間短的 順序來昇溫時,亦可先在控制裝置1 50的程式儲存部1 5 1儲 存各個的昇溫方法,在塗佈顯像處理系統1的起動時組合 選擇複數的昇溫方法。而且,在同時選擇複數的昇溫方法 時,亦可選擇優先實施哪個的昇溫方法。 說明有關同時選擇複數的昇溫方法的情況。例如各熱 處理單元40〜43的熱板112a〜112d的設置溫度,爲了對應 於複數的處理方法,例如圖14所示在各熱處理單元40〜43 內,更於每個區域201〜208設定不同的値。在圖14中,例 如區域204、207的設定溫度爲180°C,區域201的設定溫度 爲200t,區域202、205、206、208的設定溫度爲250 °C, 區域203的設定溫度爲設定於350 °C。昇溫順序是由昇溫方 法選擇根據處理方法的順序來昇溫者、及使熱處理單元40 -25- 201117257 〜43由下至上的順序來昇溫者,優先選擇依處理方法順序 昇溫者。另外,處理方法之加熱處理是依區域201〜208的 順序來進行者。此情況,例如圖1 5所示,首先在處理方法 中,最初進行晶圓W的加熱處理的區域201、202、及配置 於最下段的區域207的昇溫會開始。 其次,一旦設定溫度最低的區域207的昇溫完了,則 區域202的其次進行晶圓W的加熱處理的區域203、及配置 於最下段的區域208的昇溫會開始(圖15的期間K1)。 然後,一旦區域201到達設定溫度,則區域203的其次 進行晶圓W的加熱處理的區域204的昇溫會開始(圖15的 期間K2)。 然後,區域202會到達設定溫度,且藉由來自區域201 或區域202的熱傳達來預先昇溫的區域2 04也會到達設定溫 度,區域204的其次進行晶圓W的加熱處理的區域205的昇 溫會開始(圖15的期間K3 )。然後,一旦區域204到達設 定溫度,則區域206的昇溫會開始(圖15的期間K4 ),不 在全部的區域中熱板的昇溫完了。 另外,像以上那樣來選擇複數昇溫方法時,當然亦可 藉由控制裝置150來限制往電力加熱器121供給電力。此時 ,電力的限制是被控制成在所被選擇的昇溫方法中由最後 昇溫開始者依序進行電力的限制。 以上,一邊參照附圖一邊說明有關本發明的較佳實施 形態,但本發明並非限於該例。只要是該當業者,便可在 申請專利範圍所記載的思想範疇內,思及各種的變更例或 -26- 201117257 修正例,當然該等亦隸屬本發明的技術範圍。本發明並非 限於此例,可採用各種的形態。本發明亦可適用於基板爲 晶圓以外的FPD (平面直角顯示器)、光罩用的掩膜板等 其他的基板時。 〔產業上的利用可能性〕 本發明是對於進行基板處理系統用加熱裝置的昇溫有 用。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1是表示本實施形態的塗佈顯像處理系統內部構成 的槪略平面圖。 圖2是表示本實施形態的塗佈顯像處理系統內部構成 的槪略側面圖。 圖3是表示本實施形態的塗佈顯像處理系統內部構成 的槪略側面圖。 圖4是表示熱處理單元的構成的槪略橫剖面圖。 圖5是表示熱處理單元的構成的槪略縱剖面圖。 圖6是表示晶圓處理的各工程的流程圖。 圖7是表示昇溫時的熱板的溫度變動的圖表。 圖8是表示往昇溫時的熱板的電力供給量的變動的圖 表。 圖9是表示熱板的開始的時機的圖表。 圖10是表示昇溫時的熱板的溫度變動的圖表。 -27- 201117257 圖Π是表示往昇溫時的熱板之電力供給量的變動的圖 表。 圖12是表示熱板的構成的平面圖^ 圖13是表示昇溫時的熱板的溫度變動的圖表。 圖14是表示熱處理單元的構成及設定溫度的槪略說明 圖。 圖15是表示昇溫時的熱板的溫度變動的圖表。 【主要元件符號說明】 1 :塗佈顯像處理系統 2 :卡匣站 3 :處理站 4 :曝光裝置 5 :介面站 1〇 :卡匣搬入部 Π :晶圓搬送部 12 :卡匣載置台 13 :卡匣載置板 20 :搬送路 2 1 :晶圓搬送裝置 3 〇 :顯像處理單元 3 1 :下部反射防止膜形成單元 3 2 :光阻劑塗佈單元 3 3 :上部反射防止膜形成單元 -28- 201117257 4 0 ~ 50〜 6 0 ~ 70〜 80 : 90 : 100 110 111 112 113 12 1 122 123 124 125 126 13 1 132 133 134 13 5 150 15 1 43 :熱處理單元 5 6 :交接單元 62 :交接單元 73 :晶圓搬送裝置 梭子搬送裝置 晶圓搬送裝置 :晶圓搬送裝置 :處理容器 :搬出入口 :熱板 :冷卻板 :電力加熱器 :貫通孔 :昇降銷 :昇降驅動機構 :保持構件 :支承環 :貫通孔 :昇降銷 =昇降驅動機構 :保持構件 :支承環 :控制裝置 :程式儲存部 -29- 201117257 152 :檢測手段 201〜208:區域 W :晶圓 F :杯 D :晶圓搬送領域 C :卡匣 -30-As shown in FIG. 1, the coating development processing system 1 has a control device 150. The control device 150 is, for example, a computer and has a program storage unit 151. The program storage unit 151 stores an operation for controlling the drive system of each of the processing units or the respective transfer devices, and the predetermined function of the application development processing system 1, that is, the heat treatment of the wafer W and the photoresist. A program for realizing the application of liquid coating, development, and control of the transport path of the wafer W, so-called processing method. The processing method is created for each processing type. For example, the operator can select a processing method, and the selected processing method is read from the program storage unit 151 by the control device 150, and each crystal is executed in accordance with the processing method to be read. Round W -15- 201117257 buried. Further, in the program storage unit 151 of the control device 150, a temperature raising method for formulating a rule for controlling the temperature rise of the hot plates 112 of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 at the time of starting the application of the development processing system 1 is also stored (recipe). ). In addition, the aforementioned program is recorded on a computer readable hard disk (HD), floppy disk (FD), compact disc (CD), optical disk (MO), memory card and other computer readable memory media. It may also be installed in the control device 150 from the memory medium. The processing method of this embodiment is, for example, a setting process shown in the flowchart of Fig. 6 . The process S1 shown in Fig. 6 is a lower reflection preventing film formed by the lower reflection preventing film forming unit 31 and the heat treatment unit 41. The process S2 is to form a coating film by the photoresist coating unit 32 and the heat treatment unit 42. The upper side reflection film is formed by the upper reflection preventing film forming unit 33 and the heat treatment unit 43 in the step S3. The project S4 is exposed by the exposure device 4. In the project S5, the development processing is performed by the development processing unit 30 and the heat treatment unit 40. Next, a method of temperature control and temperature rise of the hot plate 112 of the control device 150 will be described. The set temperature of the hot plate 112 of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is set to be different depending on the purpose of the heat treatment. In the present embodiment, for example, the temperatures of the hot plates 112a to 112d of the respective heat treatment units 40 to 43 are set to Ta to Td, respectively. When the hot plate 112a of the heat treatment unit 40 is heated to the set temperature Ta, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the temperature rise period Ha1 until the hot plate 112a reaches the set temperature Ta is equivalent to the electric heater 12 as shown in FIG. The rated power of 1 - 201117257 force Pal is supplied to the electric heater 121, and the output of the power supply device (not shown) is controlled by the control device 150. When the temperature of the hot plate 1 1 2a reaches the set temperature Ta, the hot plate U2a is held at the set temperature Ta of the set temperature Ta, the control device 150 lowers the output of the power supply device, and maintains the hot plate 12a at the set temperature Ta, that is, Control is performed to supply electric power Pa2 corresponding to a portion that supplements heat radiated from the hot plate 112 to the outside. The same applies to the hot plates 112b to 112d of the other heat treatment units 41 to 43. In the temperature raising method stored in the program storage unit 151, the order in which the temperature rise of the hot plates 112a to 112d of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is started and the timing at which the temperature rise is started are set. The temperature rising method of the present embodiment is sequentially performed in the order of processing of the wafer W set in the processing method, that is, the heat treatment unit 41 used in the process S1, the heat treatment unit 42 used in the process S2, and the process S3. The order of the temperature rise start is set such that the heat treatment unit 43 and the heat treatment unit 40 used in the process S5 start to increase the temperature. When the temperature rise of the temperature rising method is started, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the hot plate 1 1 2b of the heat treatment unit 4 1 that has started the temperature rise first reaches the set temperature Tb after the temperature rising period Hb 1 , and is set to the temperature in the temperature raising method. The temperature rise of the two heated hot plates 1 12c will be started. In addition, the order of the temperature rise start of each of the hot plates 1 12a to 1 1 2d set in the temperature rising method, and the timing of the temperature rise start can be arbitrarily changed by, for example, an operator. The coating development processing system 1 of the present embodiment is configured as described above, and the wafer processing performed by the substrate processing system 1 configured as described above will be described next. When the base 17-201117257 plate process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6 is performed by applying the development processing system 1, first, the hot plates 112a of the respective heat treatment units 40 to 43 are started in the order set in the temperature increase method. ~112d warming up. When the temperature rise of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is started, as shown in Fig. 10, first, the hot plate 1 12b of the heat treatment unit 41 is heated to the set temperature Tb. At this time, the control unit 15 5 控制 controls the electric power 'from the power supply device (not shown) to the electric heater 121 of the hot plate 112 b to reach the set temperature Tb during the temperature rise period H b b, as shown in FIG. 11 . The electric power Pbl corresponding to the rated enthalpy is supplied to the electric heater 1 2 1 » Once the temperature rise period Hb 1 passes and the temperature of the hot plate 1 1 2 b reaches the set temperature Tb, the control device 150 supplies the heat to the heat. The electric power of the board 1 12b is reduced to Pb2, and the temperature rise of the hot plate 112c of the heat treatment unit 42 is started. At this time, the heat radiated from the heat treatment unit 41 is transmitted to the heat treatment unit 42, whereby the hot plate 112c is compared with the initial state of the temperature ATc, and the temperature rises. When the temperature rise of the hot plate 1 12c is started, the electric power Pci corresponding to the rated electric power of the electric heater 121 is supplied as the hot plate 1 12b reaches the set temperature Tc, and the hot plate 1 12c is passed once the temperature rise period Hcl passes. When the set temperature Tc is reached, the supply amount of electric power is reduced to the electric power Pc2 by the control device 150, and the electric power Pd1 is supplied to the hot plate U2d of the heat treatment unit 43, and the temperature rise of the hot plate 11 2d is started. In the hot plate 112d, while the temperature rise of the heat treatment units 41, 42 is being performed, only a predetermined temperature rise is formed by the heat radiated from the heat treatment units 41, 42. Once the heating period Hdl of the hot plate 11 2d passes and the hot plate 112d reaches the set temperature Td, the supply amount of electric power is reduced to the electric power Pd2, and the electric power Pal is supplied to the hot plate 1 12a of the heat treatment unit 40, similarly Start the heating of the hot plate 〖12a. Further, at this time, the power consumption of the coating development processing system 1 of -18-201117257 is the formation peak Pm. When the heating period Hal of the hot plate 112a passes and the hot plate 112a reaches the set temperature Ta, the supply amount of electric power is reduced to Pa2 by the control device 150. When the temperature rise of all the hot plates 112a to 112d of the respective heat treatment units 40 to 43 is completed, the processing of the wafer W is started in accordance with the processing method. In the processing of the wafer W, first, the cassette C accommodating the plurality of wafers W is placed on the predetermined cassette mounting plate 13 of the cassette station 10. Then, the substrate W in the cassette C is sequentially taken out by the substrate carrying device 21, and transported to the transfer device 53 of the third processing device group G3 of the processing station 1 for example. Next, the wafer W is transported to the heat treatment unit 41 of the second block G.2 by the wafer transfer device 71, and the temperature adjustment process is performed by the cooling plate 113. Then, the wafer W is transported to the lower anti-reflection film forming unit 3 1 of the first block G I by the wafer transfer device 71, and a lower anti-reflection film is formed on the wafer W. Then, the wafer W is transported to the heat treatment unit 41 of the second block G2, and the heat treatment is performed by the hot plate 112 (the process S1 of Fig. 6). Then, it returns to the handover unit 53 of the third block G3. Next, the wafer W is transported to the delivery unit 54 of the third block G3 by the wafer transfer device 90. Then, the wafer W is transported to the heat treatment unit 42 of the second block G2 by the wafer transfer device 72, and the temperature is adjusted by the cooling plate 113. Then, the wafer W is transferred to the photoresist applying unit 3 2 of the first block G 1 by the wafer transfer device 72, and a photoresist film is formed on the wafer W. Then, the wafer W is transported to the heat treatment unit 42 by the wafer transfer device 72, and the pre-baking process is performed by the hot plate 112 (engineering S2 of Fig. 6) -19-201117257. Then, the wafer w is returned to the delivery unit 55 of the third block G3 by the wafer transfer device 72. Next, the wafer W is transported to the delivery unit 54 of the third block G3 by the wafer transfer device 90. Then, the wafer W is transported to the heat treatment unit 43 of the second block G2 by the wafer transfer device 73, and the temperature is adjusted by the cooling plate 113. Then, the wafer W is transported to the upper anti-reflection film forming device 33 of the first block G1 by the wafer transfer device 73, and an upper anti-reflection film is formed on the wafer W (the process S3 of Fig. 6). Then, the wafer W is transported to the delivery unit 56 of the third block G3 by the wafer transfer device 73. Next, the wafer W is transported to the delivery unit 52 by the wafer transfer device 90, and transported to the delivery unit 62 of the fourth block G4 by the shuttle transport device 80. Then, the wafer W is transported to the exposure device 6 by the wafer transfer device 100 of the interface station 7, and exposure processing is performed (the process S4 of Fig. 6). Next, the wafer W is transported to the delivery unit 60 of the fourth block G4 by the wafer transfer apparatus 100. Then, the wafer W is transferred to the heat treatment unit 40 by the wafer transfer device 70, and subjected to post-exposure baking treatment. Next, the wafer W is subjected to temperature adjustment processing by the cooling plate 113, and then transported to the development processing unit 30 by the wafer transfer device 70 to be developed. After the development is completed, the wafer W is transferred to the heat treatment unit 40 by the wafer transfer device 70 to perform post-baking treatment. Then, the wafer W is cooled by the cooling plate 113 (engineering S 5 of Fig. 6). Then, the wafer W is transported to the delivery unit 50 of the third block G3 by the wafer transfer device 70, and then transferred to the card of the predetermined mounting plate 14 by the wafer transfer device 21 of the cassette station 4.匣C. In this way, a series of 20-201117257 is completed to be transported to the cassette C of the predetermined mounting plate 14. In this way, a series of processes (photoetching process) is completed, and a predetermined photoresist pattern is formed on the wafer W. According to the above embodiment, when the development processing system 1 is started, it is based on the temperature rising method. Since the temperature rise of the hot plates 112a to 112d of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is performed stepwise, the peak of the power consumption at the time of starting the application of the development processing system 1 can be reduced. Therefore, in comparison with the conventional heating of the heat treatment units 40 to 43, the capacity of the power device provided in the upper position of the power system of the application development processing system 1 can be reduced. Thereby, the cost of setting up the power device can be reduced. In addition, since the difference between the power consumption at the time of peaking and the power consumption during normal operation is small at the time of starting the application of the development processing system 1, the coating development can be performed at a point closer to the rated point than in the related art. An electric device such as a transformer provided in the upper position of the system 1 is processed. Therefore, the efficiency of the operation of the electric equipment is increased, and the loss of energy can be reduced. Further, in the temperature rise of the heat treatment units 40 to 43, the heat is radiated from the heat treatment unit that has been heated up or the heat treatment unit during the temperature rise to the other heat treatment unit, and the temperature is increased. Therefore, the heat treatment units 40 to 29 can be shortened. The time required for the temperature rise of 43. Further, in the above embodiment, after the temperature rise of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is completed, the loading of the wafer W into the coating development processing unit 1 is started, but all of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 may be used. When the temperature rise is completed, the wafer W is carried into the coating development processing unit 1, and when the wafer W is heated in the processing order of the wafer W set in the processing method, the heat treatment unit 21 - 201117257 40 to 43 is heated. The timing at which the temperature rise of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is started is controlled so that the temperature rise of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 can be completed in advance. Specifically, for example, when the temperature is raised by the program shown in FIG. 10, the time required for the wafer W carried into the coating development processing unit 1 to be carried into the heat treatment unit 42 according to the processing method is higher than the heat of the heat treatment unit 42. The temperature rise period Hcl of the plate 1 12c is short Hx. Then, when the wafer W is loaded into the coating development processing unit 1 at the time when the temperature rise of the hot plate 1 1 2b of the heat treatment unit 41 is completed, the time at which the wafer W is transferred to the heat treatment unit 42 in accordance with the processing method is heat treatment. The temperature rise of the unit 42 is not completed, and the processing of the wafer W is stagnant. In this case, for example, as indicated by a broken line in Fig. 10, if the temperature rising method is set in advance, the timing of starting the hot plate 12c of the heat-treating heat treatment unit 42 is not the temperature rise of the hot plate 112b after the temperature rise of the hot plate 11b is completed. In the middle, when the temperature rise of the hot plate 1 12b is completed and the temperature rise of the hot plate 12c is completed, the temperature rise is shorter than the time Hx, and the temperature rise of the hot plate 112c can be appropriately controlled by the control device 150 without the wafer W. The situation of dealing with stagnation. Further, under the control of the temperature rise as described above, the waiting time from the start of the application of the coating development processing system 1 to the start of the processing of the wafer W can be shortened, so that the productivity of the coating development processing system 1 can be improved. The method of avoiding the stagnation of the processing of the wafer W of the hot plates 1 12d and 1 12a which are heat-treated after the hot plate 112c is the same, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted. Further, by the timing at which the temperature rise of each of the hot plates 112a to 112d is started, for example, as indicated by a broken line in FIG. 11, it is possible that the electric power corresponding to the rated electric power of the electric heater 1 2 1 is simultaneously supplied to each heat treatment unit 4 〇~43 The number of heat treatment units. In this case, there is a fear that the power consumption of the power supply system that exceeds the upper level of the power consumption of the coating processing system 1 is -22-201117257, for example, the protection relay provided in the power system is tripped. Therefore, in order to prevent such a jump of the protective relay or the like, for example, a detecting means 152 for monitoring the total amount of electric power supplied to the electric heaters 121 of the respective heat treatment units 4 to 43 may be provided by the control means 150. The control of the amount of electric power supplied to each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is restricted, and the total amount of the consumed electric power detected by the detecting means 152 does not exceed a predetermined value, for example, the setting of the protection operation of the protective relay or the like. . When the amount of electric power supplied to each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is limited so as not to exceed the setting of the protection operation of the protection relay or the like, for example, the order of the heat treatment of the wafer W set in the processing method may be reversed. In the present embodiment, in the present embodiment, the amount of electric power supplied to each heat treatment unit is reduced in the order of the heat treatment units 40, 43, and 42'. In this way, even if it is necessary to limit the amount of electric power supplied to each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 by the control device 150, the heat treatment units 40 to 43 can be continued in accordance with the processing order of the wafer W set in the processing method. Warming up. Therefore, there is no possibility that the processing of the wafer W is interrupted because the temperature rise of the hot plate 112 is not completed. In the above embodiment, one electric heater 1 2 1 ' is provided for one hot plate 112. However, as shown in FIG. 12, for example, the hot plate 1 1 2 is divided into three fields A to D3 concentrically. The electric heater 121' is provided in each of the fields, and the temperature is set in each area. Thus, in the case where the hot plate 1 1 2 is provided with a plurality of fields a to A3, for example, when the hot plate 1 1 2 is heated, it can be viewed from the outer side of the hot plate 1 1 2 to the inner side, that is, according to the field A1 to the field A3. 23- 201117257 The sequence begins to heat up. By this, the heat of the field A1 is transmitted to the direction of the field A3, and the amount of electric power required for the temperature rise of the hot plate II2 can be further suppressed. Further, in Fig. 12, three fields A1 to A3 are drawn, but the number of divisions is not limited to three, and the shape of the division may not be concentric, and may be, for example, a fan shape or the like. Further, when the amount of electric power supplied to each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is limited by the control device 150, for example, it is not necessary to simultaneously limit the supply of electric power to all of the electric heaters 1 2 1 of the fields A 1 to A3 of the hot plate 112. For example, it is controlled so as to be limited by the inner field, that is, the order from the field A3 to the field A1. As a result, even if the amount of electric power supplied to the field A2 and the field A3 is limited by the control device 150, the temperature rise of the field A1 and the field A2 can be performed, for example, by heat conduction from the field A1. Further, in the temperature rising method of the above embodiment, the order of temperature rise is set such that the order of temperature rise of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is the same as the order of heat treatment of the wafer W of the processing method, but the temperature rise method is set. In the order in which the temperature rise is started, for example, the temperature rise is started from the start of the temperature rise of the hot plate 112 to the time when the temperature rise is completed, or the heat treatment units 40 to 43 stacked in the vertical direction are placed under the heat treatment. The order in which the unit 40 is placed in the upper heat treatment unit 43 starts to increase temperature. When the temperature rise from the start of the temperature rise of the hot plate 112 to the time when the temperature rise is completed, for example, in the order of the time required for the temperature rise in FIG. 10, the hot plates 1 12c, 1 12a, 1 12b, Set the temperature rise method by the order of 1 12d. When the temperature raising method is set as described above, for example, as shown in Fig. 13, the temperature rise of the hot plates 1 12a to 1 12d of the respective heat treatments -24 - 201117257 units 40 to 43 is performed. In this case, the hot plate having a short heating time, for example, the hot plate 11 2c, can reach the set temperature Tc and then transfer the heat to the other heat treatment unit with less electric power. Further, according to the inventors' verification, for example, the heat radiated from the heat treatment unit 41 is more easily transmitted to the heat treatment unit 42 than the heat treatment unit 40. That is, the heat radiated from a single heat treatment is more easily conveyed to the heat treatment unit located above than the heat treatment unit located below. Therefore, the heat treatment units 4A to 43 can be heated from the bottom to the top, that is, in the order of the heat treatment units 40, 41, 42, and 43. In this case, the temperature rise of each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 can be performed most efficiently. Further, for example, when the heat treatment units 40 to 43 are heated up in the order from the bottom to the top, or when the temperature rise time of the heat treatment unit 40 is shortened, the temperature may be raised in the program storage unit of the control device 150. 1 5 1 The respective temperature rising methods are stored, and a plurality of temperature rising methods are selected in combination at the start of application of the development processing system 1. Further, when a plurality of temperature raising methods are simultaneously selected, it is also possible to select which of the temperature raising methods is preferentially implemented. A description will be given of the case where the temperature rising method of the plural is selected at the same time. For example, the temperature of the hot plates 112a to 112d of the heat treatment units 40 to 43 is set to be different for each of the regions 201 to 208 in order to correspond to the plurality of processing methods, for example, as shown in FIG. 14 in each of the heat treatment units 40 to 43. value. In FIG. 14, for example, the set temperatures of the regions 204 and 207 are 180 ° C, the set temperature of the region 201 is 200 t, the set temperatures of the regions 202, 205, 206, and 208 are 250 ° C, and the set temperature of the region 203 is set at 350 °C. The order of temperature rise is selected by the temperature rising method in accordance with the order of the processing method, and the temperature of the heat treatment unit 40 - 25 - 201117257 - 43 is increased from the bottom to the top, and the temperature is sequentially selected according to the processing method. Further, the heat treatment of the processing method is performed in the order of the regions 201 to 208. In this case, for example, as shown in Fig. 15, first, in the processing method, the temperature rise of the regions 201 and 202 where the wafer W is first heat-treated, and the region 207 disposed at the lowermost portion are started. Then, when the temperature rise of the region 207 having the lowest temperature is completed, the temperature rise of the region 203 in which the wafer W is heated and the region 208 disposed in the lowermost region of the region 202 is started (period K1 in Fig. 15). Then, when the region 201 reaches the set temperature, the temperature rise of the region 204 of the region 203, which is followed by the heat treatment of the wafer W, starts (period K2 in Fig. 15). Then, the region 202 reaches the set temperature, and the region 2 04 that has been previously warmed up by the heat transfer from the region 201 or the region 202 also reaches the set temperature, and the region 204 of the region 204 is heated up by the heat treatment of the wafer W. It will start (period K3 in Figure 15). Then, when the region 204 reaches the set temperature, the temperature rise of the region 206 is started (period K4 in Fig. 15), and the temperature rise of the hot plate is not completed in all the regions. Further, when the complex temperature increasing method is selected as described above, it is of course possible to restrict the supply of electric power to the electric heater 121 by the control device 150. At this time, the limitation of the electric power is controlled so as to sequentially limit the electric power by the last temperature rise starter in the selected temperature rising method. The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the examples. As long as it is the person in charge, it is possible to think of various modifications or modifications in the scope of the invention described in the scope of the patent application, and of course, these are also within the technical scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to this example, and various forms can be employed. The present invention is also applicable to a case where the substrate is an FPD (planar right-angle display) other than the wafer, or a mask such as a mask for a photomask.
