Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a device that can be moved in a state of being fixed in an upright state, and in particular to change the movement of a substrate located in a conveyance path to another conveyance path A traverse device and a substrate processing device equipped with a traverse device. [Prior Art] The transport device of the vacuum processing apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is a transport tray that transports the substrate to be processed in an upright shape. The traverse device provided in the transport device fixes both sides of the tray along the transport direction of the tray, and is placed in parallel between the two transport lanes at the bottom of each processing chamber to move the transport tray to which the substrate to be processed is fixed . This swaying device has a pallet table on which a conveyance tray is placed, an elevating mechanism for elevating the pallet table, and a sliding mechanism for moving the elevating mechanism in the horizontal direction. A drive source (Malay Ml and ] VI2) is provided in each of the lift mechanism and the slide mechanism (for example, refer to the specification paragraph [〇〇32], [0033], Figs. 2 and 3 of Patent Document 1). [Prior Art Document] [Patent Document] Patent Document 1: International Publication No. 2/9/7728 Patent Specification [Disclosure] [The problem to be solved by the invention] However, the traverse device is driven by a lifting mechanism The two-axis mechanism of the sliding mechanism moves the transport tray, and the drive sources are separately arranged to complicate their mechanisms. The complexity of the organization also increases the number of components and increases the cost. Moreover, the swaying device moves the transport tray by a movement in which the elevating mechanism is raised, the sliding mechanism 4/22 201206806 is horizontally moved, and the elevating mechanism is lowered, and the so-called operating time is long, and the present invention is based on the above question. Simplified structure can reduce the number of components. The purpose is to provide a borrowing device and a vacuum processing device equipped with it. The moving time of the short substrate is used to solve the problem. In order to achieve the above purpose, the parent-child tray is moved to the thief. The traverse device of the present type has a vertical shape == machine;::! The tray of the fixed substrate is fixed to the fixed base of the fixed base and is fixed between the second transfer path and the second transfer path; The first transport path is set to: T: base = ^ = to form a solid base, so that the two mechanisms to rotate the fixed tray is fixed as in the past lifting mechanism and = road (four). Therefore, it is not necessary to simplify the traverse mounting of the drive unit to move the tray. From the big m, ,,. Structure and reduce the number of components. Also - the wide tray transfer mechanism can reduce the movement time compared to shifting the misalignment. & (4) ^ to loose vibrations The above-mentioned traversing device is a combination of the front and the second touch fixed base, can also enter the step. Therefore, the station scale reading card (4) can be further described in the following: '" The power is transmitted to the aforementioned power transmission mechanism of the member of the tray transfer mechanism. The present invention is simple because it does not require 5/22 201206806 $ to drive the driving source of the engaging member. ::: force transmission mechanism, for example, a coupling member that can also use a cam's structure has a latching engagement portion, and the engaging member can be connected to an upper end portion of a portion of the front portion of the card. The position is such that the aforementioned card base is reduced in height by a small U, and can be realized and lightened. F. Small moving parts The fixed base may also have a straight length plate = rotationally coupled to the straight portion. The protruding part system = load = structure, and the supporting portion supported under the tray is set in such a manner that the self-describing tray is horizontal. In this case, the lower part of the front over-length pull-up portion is described in the first section] The transporting path knife '. j holds the base along the movement' so that the aforementioned holding bottom temple: two " the way of the side-by-side direction drives away the first handling Road: Upper: The rotation of the part causes the heart to be placed on the heart. In the case of the present invention, the first and second transport lanes are separated from each other by the tray, and the second transport lane & = The whole of the moving device and the traversing device η 1' The second moving path τ of the tray rotation for transporting the tray can be formed by driving the fixed base, and the driving unit 2 is == 6/ 22 201206806 The aforementioned processing chamber is used to process the substrate. The first and second transport lanes are installed in the processing chamber, and the trays of the fixed substrate are transported in an upright state. According to the present invention, the fixed base of the fixed tray is rotated by the tray transfer mechanism, and the tray is moved between the first and second conveyance paths provided in the processing chamber. Therefore, there is no need for the two-axis movement of the elevating mechanism and the sliding mechanism as in the past, and the movement of the dial can be realized by driving one of the driving portions of the tray transfer mechanism. That is, the structure of the traverse device can be simplified, and the number of components can be reduced, and the movement of the rotation of the tray transfer mechanism can be shortened, and the processing chamber can be shortened to maintain a vacuum state in the processing chamber. The drive unit may have a horse disposed outside the processing chamber. Conventionally, since the motor of the sliding mechanism is disposed outside the vacuum processing, a bellows tube for maintaining a vacuum in the processing chamber is required. Further, if the motor of the conventional lifting mechanism is disposed outside the processing chamber, it is necessary to have a mechanism for sealing the periphery of the rotating shaft of the motor. On the other hand, since the present invention does not require a linear drive mechanism such as a slide mechanism, that is, it is not necessary to provide a motor for driving P to the bellows tube outside the processing chamber, the present invention is sufficient as long as the shaft seal mechanism around the rotary shaft of the motor is sufficient. [Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the structure can be reduced by simplifying the structure, and the cost can be controlled and the moving time of the substrate can be shortened.

Loading and unloading to 1, the loading and unloading operation of the above substrate s is performed under atmospheric pressure. The inside of the room becomes the domain pressure, and the self-loading (four) u will carry the =::=='_ indoor decompression, the 12 series will decompress the room, from the king - two; the processing room 13. Further, the chamber R2 is referred to as 4th to 13th, and the transport tray 17 is returned to the atmosphere 17 and 4, and then the transport tray y is moved back to the loading and unloading room η. The R1 moves H to -13 from the 11th chamber 12, and the transport tray 17 is carried along the outgoing path to the outgoing R setting device 22 to restrain the transport tray 17 on the (4) by the action of the magnetic gas. After the treatment processing such as the film forming process and the heat treatment is applied to the substrate s of the transport tray η 9/22 201206806, the fixing device 22 is released, and the transport tray 17 is moved to the first step along the travel path R1. Two processing chambers 14. Further, the first processing chamber 13 carries the transport tray 17 from the second processing chamber 14 along the return path R2, and the fixing device 22 restrains the transport tray 17 on the return path R2 by the action of magnetic air. After the first processing chamber 13 applies a process such as enthalpy treatment and heat treatment to the substrate S fixed to the transport tray 17, the fixing device 22 is released, and the transport tray 17 is transported to the LL chamber 〖2 along the return path R2. The first processing chamber 13 carries in and out the transport tray 17 under reduced pressure. The first processing chamber 14 also applies a film forming process, a heat treatment, and the like to the substrate s. The second processing chamber 14 is the same as the first processing chamber 13 by the operation of the fixing device 22, the loading and unloading of the transport tray 17, and the like. The first processing chamber 14 takes in the substrate from the first processing chamber 13 along the way, and transports the substrate s to the transfer chamber 15. Then, the second processing chamber 14 carries the substrate from the transfer chamber 15 along the smuggling R2, and moves the substrate § to the first processing chamber 15. A pair of traverse devices 3〇 are mounted on both sides of the X-axis direction (the front side and the rear side in the conveyance direction). The transfer chamber 15 carries the transport tray 17 from the second processing chamber 14 along the departure path Ri, and (4) the fixed device u temporarily binds the transport tray 17 to the outgoing path R1 by the action of the magnetic gas. In the transfer chamber 15, the magnetic carrier of the transport tray on the process R1 is removed, and the transport tray 17 is transported by the traverse device 30 to the transport tray that is moved to the return route R2. 17. Moves to the second processing chamber 丨4 along the return path R2. Carrying to the 15 series, the self-descending movement to the return trip R2 is carried out under reduced pressure. 10/22 201206806 The transport of the tray 17 is carried out. Further, the transport chamber 15 locks the transport tray 17 with the lock of the traverse device 30 while transporting the transport tray from R! to the return R2. Figure 2 shows the - in the traverse device 3G! A diagram of a traversing device. - For the traverse device 30, the fixed bases described later are used, and the both sides of the transport tray 17 are divided. The two traverse devices 3G have the same energy and structure (the shape is, for example, symmetrical in the X-axis direction). As shown in FIG. 2, the traverse device 30 is provided with a driving unit 5A and a flat connecting mechanism 40 for use as a fixing base 32 including a carrying tray 17 capable of securing the fixed substrate S. The tray transfer mechanism. The parallel link mechanism 40 is driven by the drive of the drive unit 50. For example, the parallel coupling mechanism 40 has a fixed base 31 formed vertically and vertically, a crankshaft 36 and 37 rotatably coupled between the fixed base 31 and the fixed base 32, and the crankshafts 36 and 37 coupled thereto. Straight long ^ 疋 base 32. The drive unit 50 has a motor 33 and a transmission % connected to the output shaft 34 of the motor 33 with a coupling (not shown). A barrier wall separating the transfer chamber of the atmosphere and the vacuum is disposed between the output shafts 34 of the horses 33. That is, the motor 33 is disposed on the atmosphere side. The gearbox 35 is provided, for example, in the fixed base 31, and decelerates the driving force of the motor 33 to a predetermined rotational speed, and is transmitted to the crankshaft 37 on the lower side to convert the rotational power of the motor 33 around the Y-axis into the rotational power around the X-axis. In order to stabilize the operation of the parallel coupling mechanism 40, an auxiliary link 44 that connects the two west shafts 36 and 37 is provided on one side of the fixed base 32. The auxiliary chain % < 44 is rotatably coupled to the shaft portions 37a of the crankshafts 36 and 37 which are integrally formed. The auxiliary link 44 may also be rotatably coupled to the ends of the curved draws 36 and 37 on the side close to the fixed base 31. 11/22 201206806 Two fixed bases 32 are used to fix the transport tray 17 in an upright position. The fixed base 32 has a straight L-shape in the system, and _: and a support portion 32c which protrudes from the lower portion of the straight portion 于 in the front end portion of the large portion 32b in the horizontal direction. Then, the hook member 38 as a joint member is engaged with the transport tray "=17a. Thus, the lower portion of the transport tray 17 is supported by the support portion 32c, and the hook member 38 is stuck to the convex portion m. When the fixed base is moved, the posture of the tray 17 can be stably conveyed. The multi-shape can be widely used in the standby state (when shown in Figs. 5(A) and (5), the branch portion 32e of the solid base 32 is equipped (4) Each of the road surfaces (the lower end portion of the conveyance tray 17) is also lower = the bottom 2 is centered on the rotation shaft 39, and is rotatably coupled to the solid: seat and the portion. The hook member 38 has the second member disposed thereon. The notch of the engaging end portion 38a is used for the card/.' :: as explained in the following, using the parallel connection, a picture, from the vicinity of the crankshaft 36 from the 3 titer section, the display of the traverse agricultural device 30 The figure is a view from the direction of the yaw axis. The power transmission mechanism 45 of the parallel hook member 38 is _ the fixed base 31 side of the base 32. The power transmission diagram 14 is omitted in Fig. 2 as the front side of the power transmission mechanism 45. Fig. 4 The power transmission mechanism 45 is mainly composed of a cam machine having a cam 41 fixed to the crankshaft 36, and a slave mechanism:: The connecting rod - the end connecting rod 四 (4) - the end portion is connected to the connecting shaft 12/22 connected to the hook structure (4) 201206806 The shaft shaft 48 is coupled to the opposite side of the engaging end portion of the hook member 38 The end portion is inserted into the fixed base 32 and a long hole (not shown). The inner side of the fixed base 32 (on the side where the power is disposed) 45 is connected to the connecting rod 43. The structure is shown, and the spring 46 is coupled to The lower part of the hook member 38 is invited. It is placed in the spring bracket 47 of the fixed base 32, and the temple bullets 38, #/, 支_略. Therefore, when the hook structure is to be engaged with the movement of the convex portion 17a of the transporting tray 17 (in the state shown in Fig. (^), or in the normal state, the tension (for example, the contraction direction of the yellow 46) The force is operated. The tension of the spring 46 is such that when the cam follower 42 is operated on the concave portion 例如, for example, the connecting rod 43 is lowered, and the hook member is moved in the direction of the arrow A. Rotate to release the hook member % and the carrier, and the convex portion 17a is engaged. That is, the cam follower is stunned in the cam/1 recess. The timing of the operation on 41a is the same as the timing of the traverse device 30 in the standby state (that is, the timing at which the fixed base 32 is at the standby position (the state shown in FIGS. 5(A) and (E)). The operation of the power transmission mechanism 45 (the timing of the cam 41) is designed. The operation of the traverse device 30 configured as above will be described. Fig. 5 is a schematic view for explaining the operation, and is a view as seen from the X-axis direction. It is a diagram for explaining the rotation of the support portion 32c of the fixed base 32. Further, the illustration of the auxiliary link 44 is omitted in Figs. 5 and 6. In Fig. 5 (A), the traverse device 3 as described above In the standby state, the fixed base 32 is in the standby position. In this state, the hook member 38 as described above is not on the transport lanes R1 and R2, but is returned. The rotational angle position of the support portion 32c of the fixed base 32 in the standby position is 〇 as shown in Fig. 6. . 13/22 201206806 At this time, the fixed magnet 23 of the fixed device 22 has been lowered, and the upper portion is fixed in a non-contact manner, and its posture is stabilized. As shown in Fig. 5 (8), the fixed base 32 is rotated clockwise in Figs. 5 and 6 by the action of the parallel link mechanism 4, and the support portion 32c is IS Γ9. . The position Γ conveyance tray] 7 is placed on the side of the support unit. At this time, the hook member 38 is rotated by the action of the power transmission mechanism 45 (see FIGS. 3 and 4), and the engagement end portion of the hook member % is torn and disposed directly below the convex portion 17a of the conveyance tray 17. position. Then, after the fixed base 32 starts to rotate clockwise, the hook member %, the card=end portion 38 notch is engaged with the convex portion 7a and is locked, and in such a locked state, the fixed base 32 is fixed at the side. The transport tray 17 is rotated while rotating. After being locked, the fixed magnet 23 of the fixing device 22 is lifted to release the non-contact fixing. As shown in Fig. 5(C), the fixed base 32 is rotated clockwise, and the support portion 32c of the fixed base 32 passes through 180. The rotational position (refer to the figure and as shown in FIG. 5(D) 'Before the support portion 32c reaches the rotational position of 270. The non-contact fixation is started by the fixing device 22. And once the support portion 32c reaches the rotational position of 270° The conveyance tray 17 is placed on the return path R2. After the branch portion 32c passes the rotational position of 270, the hook member 38 starts to rotate due to the action of the power transmission mechanism 45, and the locked state of the hook member 38 is released. By doing so, the traverse device 30 maintains the posture of the transport tray 17 fixed to the fixed base 32, and also rotates the fixed base 32 by the action of the parallel connection mechanism 4, so that the transport tray 17 is moved from the travel R1 to The return path R2 moves °, that is, 'between the outward path R1 and the return path R2, the movement path of the transport tray 17 is formed. 14/22 201206806 As shown in Fig. 5 (8), after the state of Fig. 5 (8), the base 32 is fixed by counterclockwise rotation.
