Abstract

The present invention provides a substrate processing method and a substrate processing system which prevents the substrates processed in a load-lock chamber with organic material from contamination at low cost. The substrate processing method of the present invention comprises: a preparation step in which the pressure is reduced while supplying a purge gas once a plurality of substrates to be processed have been placed in a cassette and loaded into the load-lock chamber; and a processing step in which a transport mechanism in a transport chamber connected to the load-lock chamber takes out the substrates to be processed in the cassette, transports the substrates to be processed to a processing chamber to be processed, takes out the processed substrates from the processing chamber, and then places the substrates in the cassette in the load-lock chamber. Furthermore, in the preparation step, the supply position of the purge gas is set to a position above the cassette, the discharge position is set to a position below the cassette, and the cassette is mounted between the supply position and the discharge position. The entire top surface of the top-level substrate to be processed placed in the cassette is covered by a cover disposed thereon. In addition, in the preparation step, when the pressure in the load-lock chamber reaches a first reference pressure, the supply and discharge of purge gas to and from the load-lock chamber is stopped, and when the pressure reaches a second reference pressure, the supply and discharge of purge gas to and from the load-lock chamber is restarted.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a substrate processing method and a substrate processing system for processing a substrate to be processed under a reduced pressure atmosphere, and more particularly to a substrate subjected to a reduced pressure atmosphere The underlying load lock indoor standby substrate processing method and substrate processing system. [Prior Art] It is known that the substrate processing system is a conventional technique disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. The substrate processing system includes: a loading lock chamber for storing a scorpion; a chamber f for processing the substrate to be processed; and a transfer chamber for being connected to the load lock chamber and the processing chamber; and reducing the load lock The chamber atmospheric pressure device is for discharging the gas in the load lock chamber and reducing the atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber; the flushing gas supply device supplies the flushing gas to the load lock chamber; and the transfer chamber atmospheric pressure device is discharged from the transfer chamber. The gas reduces the atmospheric force in the transfer chamber, and reduces the treatment to atmospheric pressure. The discharge process reduces the pressure from the chamber. The front side of the front side of the ship is provided with a plurality of processed substrates which are in the form of a flat plate, and the plurality of pieces are subjected to a straight direction (four) slit layer shape. ^ Read transfer to provide the transfer device, before the transfer device is taken out, load the processed substrate contained in the portion of the lock chamber, and transfer it to the inside of the process. Then, instead, take it out of the process chamber. The processed substrate to be processed is housed in a crotch portion of the load lock chamber. Furthermore, (4) 't wash gas supply for the lining, the gas supply position to the load lock chamber 201216337 will be set above the g portion, and the aforesaid lower load lock chamber atmospheric pressure device discharges gas from the lock chamber The exhaust position is set to a position below the E portion. Further, the crotch portion is placed between the air supply position and the exhaust position. Therefore, the substrate processing system first reduces the atmospheric pressure in the processing chamber by reducing the atmospheric pressure device in the processing chamber, and reduces the atmospheric pressure in the transfer chamber by lowering the atmospheric pressure device in the transfer chamber, so that the processing chamber and the transfer chamber are attained. The same decompression state. At the same time or thereafter, (4) with a plurality of substrates to be processed is loaded in the equipment chamber under atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber is lowered by lowering the lock chamber atmospheric pressure device. At this time, the urinary body supplies the flushing gas to the load lock chamber by the flushing gas supply device from the air supply position set at the upper position of the smithing department, and on the other hand, by lowering the exhaust gas at the lower position of the atmospheric pressure device The position discharges the gas in the lock chamber, whereby the load lock chamber supplies the flushing gas to reduce the atmospheric pressure. It will be exposed to the flushing airflow flowing from the aforementioned position to the aforementioned exhaust position by the (4) gas position between the gas position and the job record.

Furthermore, in the system for processing substrates under reduced pressure atmosphere (vacuum), the singularity of the load lock (4), the money generated by the material (4), or the material that is backflowed by the lion's low-load side chamber money pressure device, if it is a machine substance Adhering to the substrate to be treated which is placed in the load lock chamber, the organic substance adhering thereto adversely affects the touch in the processing chamber. Therefore, in the foregoing substrate processing system, the flushing gas is supplied to the aforementioned chambers, and the pre-ship county is exposed to the nuclear test towel, and the flushing will prevent the organic substance human Newle, and the active financial substance may The rinsing, the body - and the outside of the chamber are discharged, and by these actions, the organic substance is prevented from adhering to the substrate to be treated. [PRIOR ART DOCUMENT] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2007-35874 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described basic domain, the substrate is placed in a lock chamber (10). At the time of life, there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the amount of flushing gas and reducing the manufacturing cost of the flushing gas. If special attention is paid to reducing or preventing the contamination of organic substances, and a large amount of flushing gas is supplied, and the pressure in the load lock chamber is maintained high, so that the average free travel of organic substances is shortened. Benefits, but the 201216337 department will increase the use of flushing gas by 1: increasing the problem as described above. In addition, in the conventional technique of the substrate processing system, the top substrate of the substrate is also accommodated. The problem of contamination of the organic matter f, that is, the conventional technical towel at the front wire plate, as described above, supplies the flushing gas to the loading station and exposes the H portion to the blown air stream. Preventing the adhesion of organic substances to the substrate to be treated, but the substrate to be treated in the uppermost layer of Weinerer is 'exposed because there are more parts exposed from the E part; the branching may be in contact with the aged, and the The exposed part (4) is subjected to some stains. In particular, the non-electrical process process using a treatment gas such as hydrogen fluoride gas to process the substrate may be more expensive than the electric levitation process. More _, the time for the money processing substrate to stand by in the loading charm will also be lengthened. Therefore, the above problems will be more significant. Further, in the non-plasma process, since the cleaning process of the material on the surface of the substrate to be processed is not performed at the molecular level (molecuiar level) in the non-plasma process, the substrate to be processed is treated. When organic substances are attached to the surface, the contact between the substrate and the processing gas is caused by the contact between the substrate and the processing gas, and the problem is that the yield of the substrate to be processed is lowered and the manufacturing cost is increased. In view of the foregoing, the object of the present invention is to prevent the substrate to be treated from being contaminated by organic substances, and to ride the substrate, the domain can be completely prevented from being loaded, and the substrate to be treated is contaminated by the organic substance f. Secret substrate processing system. 201216337 f The method used to solve the problem is to use the method of dealing with the frequency problem. The species is secreted in the (four) lock room after receiving the i-plate. The supply of flushing gas to the shaft chamber is controlled by the load ί. The method of processing the indoor board, and the method of processing the substrate includes: and the step of setting the air supply position of the flushing gas to the upper position of the soil plate and the exhaust position setting surface The lower position of the substrate to be processed, the pre-counter county minus cake _ for recording and exhausting position processing steps'_ the above-mentioned loading is taken out by a conveyor that connects the bribe chamber and is in a transfer chamber under reduced atmospheric conditions The lock chamber=processes the f-plate' and transfers it to the secret chamber in which the lining is placed in the transfer chamber and is at the same decompression: and after the processing of the treated substrate, the self-processing is performed by the transfer The processed substrate to be processed is taken out and stored in the load lock chamber, and the production and the exhaust gas are supplied in the preparation step, and the helium gas pressure at the load lock chamber reaches the first reference pressure. Stop supplying the flushing gas, and at this time, or slightly stop feeding the gas from the loading lock chamber, after the deficiencies, the reading of the Wei_ventricular force is higher than the aforementioned i-th reference pressure to reach the second reference pressure. The supply of the flushing gas and the exhaust are restarted. Further, the present invention relates to a substrate processing method, which includes: loading a lock chamber and storing a substrate to be processed; processing to 'processing the substrate to be processed; 201216337 transfer chamber is provided with the aforementioned load lock The room and the processing room are connected to each other. The device is placed in the transfer chamber, and the wire substrate is loaded into the processing chamber, and then the processed substrate is taken out from the processing to the inside. In the foregoing load locker, the device is installed to reduce the atmospheric pressure of the device, and the gas in the room is discharged and the atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber is lowered; the flushing gas supply device supplies the flushing gas to the loading lock chamber; The pressure detecting device is for checking the atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber, the control device, controlling the Kirin low-loading room pressure pressure I and the operator of the flushing gas supply device, reducing the transmission to the atmospheric pressure device, discharging Passing the gas in the chamber and reducing the atmospheric pressure in the transfer chamber; and reducing the treatment to the atmospheric pressure device, discharging the gas in the processing chamber And reducing the atmospheric pressure in the processing chamber, wherein the air supply position in the flushing gas supply device for supplying the flushing gas to the other agricultural lock chamber is set at a position above the receiving wire. The exhaust position for reducing the gas discharged from the lock chamber in the atmospheric pressure device of the load lock chamber is set to be lower than the position of the substrate to be processed, and the front substrate and the position of the front substrate are installed. In the control device, when the substrate to be processed is housed in the load lock chamber, the flushing gas is supplied to the lock chamber in the lock chamber 201216337 by the flushing gas, and is lowered by the foregoing The 大气_room atmospheric pressure device discharges the atmospheric pressure of the gas scale in the low-load lock chamber from the load lock chamber. When the pressure of the above-mentioned chamber is detected by the pressure detecting device, the pressure of the flushing gas ship is verified. Casting the supply of the aforementioned flushing button, and the above-mentioned reduction of the atmospheric pressure of the load lock chamber|position will stop or discharge the gas in the self-test load lock chamber at a later time, and then stop After the operation, when the load lock detected by the current Lai Li inspection position reaches the second reference pressure and the second reference pressure is set to the first reference pressure, the flushing wire supply device will re-stick the cake washing gas, and the foregoing reduction The load lock chamber atmospheric pressure device will gradually discharge the gas from the aforementioned lock lock chamber. By reducing the atmospheric pressure in the processing chamber by the first method of reducing the processing chamber, and reducing the atmospheric pressure in the transfer chamber by reducing the pressure on the chamber, * making the scale chamber and the transfer chamber substantially the same. Decompressed state. Further, the substrate to be processed is housed in the load lock chamber under atmospheric pressure, and the substrate to be processed depends on the position of the front and the lower position. Further, after the substrate to be processed is loaded at a predetermined position, and the substrate to be processed is placed in the loading lock chamber, the following processing is performed under the control of the pre-magic relay. That is, first, the gas in the load lock chamber is discharged from the exhaust position set at the lower position by lowering the load lock chamber atmospheric pressure device, and the flushing gas supply device is flushed from the air supply position set at the position above the substrate to be processed. Gas is supplied to the shaft housing and the flushing gas is supplied to the surface -© to reduce atmospheric pressure. 9 201216337 Also, for example, it is possible to use the sewing body as a washing clock, but it is not limited to this. As a result, the processed panel loaded between the aforementioned air supply position and the exhaust position is exposed to the flushing airflow flowing from the air supply position to the exhaust position. ^ As mentioned above, the charm of the load in the atmosphere of the touchdown force may exist. The same thing as the f-technical _, by preventing the money county from being exposed to the washing and rolling, can prevent the attachment of organic substances to On the substrate being processed. Furthermore, in the current day, when the pressure detecting device detects the pressure in the shock lock chamber, the flushing gas supply device stops supplying the flushing gas into the shock lock chamber, and lowers the load lock chamber atmospheric reading. It is later stopped to discharge gas from the load lock chamber. 6、After the stop operation, the pressure inside the installation room detected by the #pressure inspection position is at the third reference pressure _ the second scale pressure, the device lowers the atmospheric pressure of the load lock chamber and restarts the self-loading lock chamber. The gas is exhausted, and the flushing gas supply I will restart to supply the flushing gas into the I-load lock chamber and will again reduce the atmospheric pressure in the shock-lock chamber. Thereafter, the #processed substrate is continuously stopped in the load lock chamber, and the flushing gas supply and the exhausting operation are started. After the inventors of the present invention have exhausted their efforts to study the results of the foregoing method, it is inferred that if the surface is supplied to the loading lock chamber and the surface pressure of the load lock chamber is higher than the financial pressure, the age is stopped. Supply of flushing gas and stop by «_ room (10) domain body, still can be organically attached to the receiving plate ±, and can be reduced to the allowable range compared with the wire (4). According to the conventional example described above, it is known that it is an indispensable element to prevent the attachment of organic substances to the treated substrate, but it is known by the present inventor Mengjia~Jianjiu^' Stop supplying the flushing nucleus and stop the venting of the gas in the 'supply gas'. The original function of the continuous action here should stop supplying the flushing gas and stop the domain load lock. (4) Exhaust gas = the body will remain in the lock Indoor, and thereby suppress the organic mean free travel. , fM W is transferred to the money record g, so if it is before the stop (four), the external gas will invade the lock chamber due to leakage, and cause the 'inward impact force to rise, but when the substrate is taken out, it will be caused The internal pressure is restored to be equal to the adjacent transfer chamber, and the pressure in the right Wei lock chamber is too high, which may not be applicable because it takes time to lower the atmospheric pressure. In the present invention, When the pressure in the load lock chamber detected by the pressure detection is higher than the second base pressure, the second reference pressure is lowered, the load lock chamber is lowered, the device is covered, and the body is washed. The supply device may recharge the supply of the flushing gas into the load lock chamber. According to the inference by the inventors of the present invention, it is preferable that the first i-th pressure is set within a range of 10 Pa to 30 Pa. The first benchmark pressure is better for the slaves in the cafes. The base 2 is better. If the set pressure in the load lock chamber is extremely low under the reduced pressure atmosphere, the surface is supplied with flushing gas. Gas load locks indoors with reduced pressure on the money The mosquito pressure, scale, material stop ^ gas supply and occupational action, it is best to stop the supply of scaled gas first, stop the Wei after a predetermined time, by reducing the atmospheric pressure of 201216337 in the state of stopping the supply of washing gas The atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber can be set to _ set pressure. As described above, when the substrate to be processed is in standby in the load lock chamber == the transfer device is self-twisted_room_(4) processed substrate and transferred to the room, and in the process After the indoor processing is performed, it is sent back to the loading lock chamber by the aforementioned conveying device. 2 In this way, according to the present invention, when the processed substrate is in standby in the agricultural load lock chamber, the processing substrate is exposed to the airflow of the flushing gas. In the range, it is possible to prevent the organic substances from adhering to the substrate to be treated. y In the range of the organic matter f contamination of the substrate which can be effectively treated by the lion, it is possible to stop the supply of the flushing gas and stop the discharge of the gas from the chamber. The use of the flushing gas is reduced, the power consumption is saved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Further, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flushing gas is used.

The closing timing of the exhaust switching valve 28 can be synchronized with the opening operation of the above-described ventilation switching valve 34, or earlier than the opening operation. After Tian Shang's lock is restored to a large test force within 10, the unprocessed part 8 will be replaced by the unprocessed part 8 and the same processing steps will be performed. Further, in the «description processing step, when the concealing portion 8 is in the loading lock chamber 1 ,, the loading lock chamber control portion 15 performs the following operations. That is, the 'load lock chamber control unit 15 monitors the load lock detected by the pressure detector 17 to the internal money pressure, and the pressure is set to the predetermined first reference pressure 'At this time', the flushing switch valve 35 is closed and stopped. Supplying the flushing gas to the load lock to K) 'At the same time or later, the aforementioned exhaust switching valve 28' and stopping the discharge of the gas in the load lock chamber 1 ,, and at this time, the exhaust pump can be stopped at this time. 26 and the operation of the flushing gas ship Qing Yu, Ke made its driving style continue. At the same time, when the supply of flushing gas is started and the exhaust gas is stopped, when the pressure is detected 21 201216337, the atmospheric pressure inside the lock chamber is higher than the first reference pressure, and the gas is turned on and off, and the exhaust gas starts to open the self-loading surface (4) 嶋 _ _26) and re-rinse the gas for the ship _ off the valve 35 (if the flushing gas ship should be lined _ ^ = job Xiang mine) (four) new start after the material 1 fresh and the second fresh wire, repeat r / Restart the flushing gas supply and exhaust gas. The contents of the substrate processing system 1 of the present embodiment have been described in detail with reference to the contents of the substrate processing system 1 of the present embodiment, and it is known from Wei Ga that the substrate of the physical system = system 1 'when the substrate K to be processed is in the loading lock chamber K) When standing by, the flushing gas supply device 30 supplies the flushing gas into the loading lock chamber ι, because (4) the read substrate portion 8G is exposed to the flushing airflow, and the second = washing airflow prevents the organic matter from entering the button. Or, the organic substance is washed out and discharged out of the lock chamber, and the organic substance is prevented from adhering to the substrate κ by the action. In addition, in the basic state of the real state, when the atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber 10 reaches the third reference pressure, the gas is stopped from the wire lock chamber 1 and the supply of the flushing gas is stopped. The loading lock chamber 10; when the pressure in the load lock chamber 1G reaches the second reference pressure, the above will be restarted: Chen and gas supply 'Xie Jian Shu Mingren# reading theory: If the material is supplied to the lock room When the atmospheric pressure in the load lock chamber 10 is lowered to a predetermined pressure within 10, even if the flushing gas supply is stopped and the exhaust gas is stopped, the organic substance is continuously prevented from adhering to the side of the treated button and can be treated. The degree of adhesion of the organic substance on the substrate κ 22 201216337 is reduced to the allowable range. According to the conventional example described above, it is known that it is necessary to prevent the organic substance from adhering to the substrate to be processed, and the flushing airflow is an indispensable element. However, after the inventors of the present invention have exhausted their efforts, it is known that even if the flushing is stopped, Supply and stop the self-loading lock chamber U) to exfoliate the gas, still sustaining the aforementioned gamma. The principle of the continuous action here should be that even if the supply of the flushing gas is stopped and the discharge of the gas from the load lock chamber 10 is stopped, the flushing gas is still in the load lock chamber 1G, thereby suppressing the average free path of the organic substance. Further, since it is difficult to maintain the fully airtight state of the load lock chamber 10, if the exhaust operation is stopped, the external air age is invaded by the inside of the Wei lock chamber 10 due to the leakage, and the large force in the load lock chamber K) is caused. Rising, but when the substrate K to be processed is taken out, 'there is a pressure that must be restored in the load lock chamber 1G to be equivalent to the pressure of the adjacent transfer chamber 4G, the processing chambers 5G, 6G, 7G, etc. However, if the lock chamber is loaded The pressure within 10 rises too high, and it will take time to reduce the atmospheric pressure, so it does not apply. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the inside of the load lock chamber 10 detected by the pressure detector 17 is strongly higher than the second reference pressure and the second reference pressure is reached, the exhaust gas and the flushing gas supply are restarted. . According to the inference of the inventors of the present invention, it is preferable that the ith reference pressure is set to be 10 Pa to 3 〇 Pa, and the second reference pressure is set to be in the range of 15 Pa to 300 Pa. (Experimental Example 1) The uppermost substrate to be processed in the first reference pressure is set to 1 GPa, the second reference pressure is set to 1 milk, and the uppermost layer in the crotch portion 8 is not covered by the cover 23 201216337 body 90 In this state, the .g portion is housed in the load lock chamber, and the ruthenium dioxide film on the substrate K to be processed is etched by a mixed gas of hydrogen fluoride gas, ethanol vapor, and nitrous acid gas, and is in an initial state. The substrate K (the substrate to be processed in the lowermost layer in the crotch portion 80) and the substrate κ to be processed for 3 hours in the lock chamber 10 (the uppermost substrate to be processed in the top 8〇) After comparing the rate of the surname and the average of the money, the results of the two are equal. Further, in the present embodiment, the substrate to be processed κ stored in the uppermost portion of the substrate 8 is covered with the entire surface of the substrate 90 disposed thereon. Therefore, the coating body 9 can prevent contact with the organic substance, and even the uppermost substrate to be processed κ can prevent the adhesion of the organic substance. As described above, when the cerium oxide film on the substrate κ is etched by a mixed gas of hydrogen fluoride gas, alcohol (ethanol, methanol, etc.) vapor and nitrous acid gas, the processing time is longer. In the substrate processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the substrate processing system 1 according to the present embodiment can effectively prevent the organic substance from adhering to the substrate to be processed κ even if the substrate processing system 1 of the present embodiment is more likely to be contaminated. (Experimental Example 2) As described above, the first reference pressure is set to 10 Pa, the second reference pressure is set to 15 Pa, and the uppermost processed substrate κ party covering 90 in the crotch portion 80 is covered. In this state, the crotch portion is housed in the load lock chamber, and the ceria film on the substrate K to be processed is processed by a mixed gas of hydrogen fluoride gas, ethanol vapor, and nitrous acid gas, and is in the state of initial 24 201216337. The processing substrate K (the processing substrate κ located at the lowermost layer in the top 8 £), and the substrate κ to be processed in the lock chamber 1G for 14 hours (the uppermost processed substrate κ in the training unit 80) After comparing the rate of enthalpy and the average of 働丨, the results of the two are equal. (Experimental Example 3) In addition, the condition of the same processing as that of the second embodiment is performed in the case where the uppermost substrate is not protected by the coating body 90, and the substrate κ in the initial state is loaded and loaded. _ room 1G standby M], the uppermost layer of the treated substrate K 'the lining rate and the side average _ row ratio, the upper layer of the treated substrate κ side will be more than the initial recorded substrate κ 10% late, and the average of money will be degraded by %%. According to the basic theory of this #施_, even if it is (4) the uppermost processed substrate in the scorpion 80! 〇 can still be tilted to the ground without being contaminated by organic matter' and can effectively lion (4) General (10) The substrate K and the like to be treated are contaminated by organic substances. Furthermore, if the pressure of the atmospheric pressure τ is lowered and the set pressure in the lock chamber 1G is extremely low, the operation of discharging the gas while supplying the flushing gas may be reduced to the setting in the load lock chamber 10. Pressure, scale when stopping the flushing gas supply and listening (10), it is best to stop supplying the flushing gas first. After the predetermined time, the job is stopped. By stopping the supply of the gas in the state of the flue gas, the load lock chamber can be made. The pressure in 1() reaches the set pressure. As described above, in the case of effectively preventing the dyeing of the organic substance to be processed κ, money is set to stop the supply of the flushing gas and the time of exhausting, thereby reducing the amount of flushing gas used, saving electricity, and lowering. Made into the effect of 25 201216337. The above is a description of the specific embodiment of the present invention, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the substrate processing system 丨 can also be provided with a pipe 38 and an air supply shutoff 39, which is connected to the aforementioned air supply pipe 32b located at a position upstream of the flushing on-off valve 35, and another One end is connected to the aforementioned position f 27 located downstream of the exhaust port _ 28, and the air supply switching valve 39 is immediately adjacent to the pipe 38. , J mouth 丨 eight machine! When the first reference pressure is described in the knives, the load lock chamber control unit 15 performs the following control. In the operating state of the flushing gas supply unit 31, the flushing switch valve 5 is used to stop flushing. (4) supplying to the above-mentioned device 10, and in the above-mentioned row:::6 driving state, 'by closing the aforementioned exhausting on-off valve 28, the gas is exhausted in the chamber 10, and at the same time, the exhaust is stopped. ====—General gas supply=This =:::: The supply of the purge gas to the aforementioned heart is read by the above-mentioned gas supply, and is closed or later, and has the above-described structure. The purge gas is supplied to the pre-Wei-soil treatment system 1, and when the flushing is stopped, the gas is discharged through the pipe 38 and the gas discharged from the load lock chamber is stopped to flow J1 in the downstream direction. The body is supplied to the exhaust pipe 27, and the flushing is such as to prevent the self-exhaust (four) countercurrent, and prevent the organic matter from invading when the opening and closing valve 28 is re-exhausted. Loading the lock into the 10th 'so' can effectively steal the money attached to the substrate K to be processed. Further, the supply amount (flow rate) of the flushing gas supplied to the reduction pipe 27 in the stopped state may be mixed with the supply amount of the supply wire laying chamber 1G, which means that the amount of flushing gas used can be greatly reduced as compared with the prior art. Further, the coating body 90 may have the same shape as the substrate to be processed, but is not limited thereto, and may be housed in the crotch portion 8 与 together with the substrate to be processed κ, and at least coat the substrate to be processed. If you use the entire surface of κ, you can use any shape. Moreover, the covering body 90 does not necessarily have to be separated from the crotch portion 8〇. As shown in Fig. 6, the covering body may also be the top plate 85 of the crotch portion 80. At this time, the top plate 85 is required to be wrapped and placed at the most At least the entire upper surface of the upper substrate to be processed κ.
