The stage 4 includes a holding surface 41 that is processed to be a substantially horizontal flat surface and that holds the substrate 3 in a region on the −Y side of the upper surface (the surface on the +Z side). The holding surface 41 may be a region overlapping with the substrate 3 in plan view, or a region slightly wider than the region overlapping with the substrate 3 in plan view. A large number of vacuum suction ports (not shown) are formed dispersedly on the holding surface 41 . By sucking the substrate 3 using these vacuum suction ports, the substrate 3 is held at a predetermined position in a substantially horizontal state during the coating process. In addition, the holding form of the board|substrate 3 is not limited to this, For example, the stage 4 may be comprised so that the board|substrate 3 may be hold|maintained mechanically.

另外,平台4在比保持面41所佔有的區域更靠+Y側的區域中包括噴嘴調整區域100。在噴嘴調整區域100中,配置有在塗佈處理之前對狹縫噴嘴2實施清潔處理的噴嘴清掃裝置(未圖示)。In addition, the stage 4 includes the nozzle adjustment region 100 in the region on the +Y side rather than the region occupied by the holding surface 41 .

在基板處理裝置1中,使狹縫噴嘴2沿Y軸方向移動的後述的移動機構設置於塗佈處理部5,利用所述移動機構,可使狹縫噴嘴2在保持面41的上方與噴嘴調整區域100的上方之間往返移動。In the substrate processing apparatus 1 , a moving mechanism to move the slit nozzle 2 in the Y-axis direction is provided in the coating processing section 5 , and the slit nozzle 2 can be positioned above the holding surface 41 and the nozzle can be moved by the moving mechanism. Move back and forth between the top of the adjustment area 100 .

而且,在狹縫噴嘴2向噴嘴調整區域100的上方移動的期間,即,在平台4中的保持面41所佔有的區域的上方無狹縫噴嘴2的期間,在平台4上進行先進行了塗佈處理的基板3的搬出、與接下來進行塗佈處理的基板3的搬入。另一方面,在狹縫噴嘴2在保持面41的上方移動的期間,從狹縫噴嘴2向保持面41上的基板3的上表面31塗佈塗佈液。Then, while the slit nozzle 2 is moving above the nozzle adjustment area 100 , that is, while there is no slit nozzle 2 above the area occupied by the holding surface 41 in the table 4 , the first step is performed on the table 4 . The carrying out of the substrate 3 subjected to the coating process and the carrying in of the substrate 3 to be subjected to the coating process next. On the other hand, while the slit nozzle 2 is moving above the holding surface 41 , the coating liquid is applied from the slit nozzle 2 to the upper surface 31 of the substrate 3 on the holding surface 41 .

塗佈處理部5的移動機構主要包括:橋接結構的噴嘴支撐體51,沿X軸方向橫穿平台4的上方並支撐狹縫噴嘴2;以及狹縫噴嘴移動部53,沿著沿Y軸方向延伸的一對導軌52使噴嘴支撐體51及由所述噴嘴支撐體51支撐的狹縫噴嘴2水平移動。The moving mechanism of the coating treatment part 5 mainly includes: a nozzle support body 51 of a bridge structure, which traverses the upper part of the platform 4 in the X-axis direction and supports the slit nozzle 2; and a slit nozzle moving part 53, which is along the Y-axis direction. The extended pair of guide rails 52 horizontally move the nozzle support body 51 and the slit nozzle 2 supported by the nozzle support body 51 .

如圖1中例示那樣,噴嘴支撐體51為將平台4的左右兩端部沿著X軸方向架設並跨越保持面41的架橋結構。狹縫噴嘴移動部53使作為架橋結構的噴嘴支撐體51與由噴嘴支撐體51保持的狹縫噴嘴2相對於保持於平台4的基板3沿著Y軸方向相對移動。As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the nozzle support body 51 is a bridge structure in which the left and right end portions of the platform 4 are spanned along the X-axis direction and spanned over the holding surface 41 . The slit nozzle moving unit 53 relatively moves the nozzle support 51 as a bridge structure and the slit nozzle 2 held by the nozzle support 51 in the Y-axis direction with respect to the substrate 3 held by the stage 4 .

具體而言,狹縫噴嘴移動部53包括:在±X側分別沿Y軸方向引導狹縫噴嘴2的移動的導軌52、作為驅動源的線性馬達54、以及用於檢測狹縫噴嘴2的吐出口的位置的線性編碼器55。Specifically, the slit nozzle moving unit 53 includes a guide rail 52 for guiding the movement of the slit nozzle 2 in the Y-axis direction on the ±X side, respectively, a linear motor 54 as a drive source, and a discharge for detecting the discharge of the slit nozzle 2 Linear encoder 55 for the position of the outlet.

如圖1中例示那樣,兩個導軌52在平台4的X軸方向的兩端部沿著Y軸方向延伸。As illustrated in FIG. 1 , the two guide rails 52 extend in the Y-axis direction at both end portions of the stage 4 in the X-axis direction.

此處,在保持面41設置有多個升降銷(此處未圖示),所述多個升降銷用於在搬入基板3並配置於保持面41時、及將保持於保持面41的基板3搬出時,支撐基板3。各個升降銷從形成於保持面41的貫通孔(此處未圖示)向保持面41的上表面突出,並從下方支撐基板3。Here, the holding surface 41 is provided with a plurality of lift pins (not shown here) for the substrates to be held on the holding surface 41 when the substrate 3 is carried in and arranged on the holding surface 41 . 3 When carrying out, the substrate 3 is supported. Each lift pin protrudes toward the upper surface of the holding surface 41 from through holes (not shown here) formed in the holding surface 41 , and supports the substrate 3 from below.

在如以上那樣的結構中,狹縫噴嘴2能夠在用來保持基板3的保持面41的上部空間中,相對於保持面41向Y軸方向大致水平地移動。然後,基板處理裝置1通過從狹縫噴嘴2的吐出口21吐出塗佈液同時使狹縫噴嘴2如上所述那樣相對移動,可在由保持面41保持的基板3的上表面31形成塗佈層。In the above configuration, the slit nozzle 2 can move substantially horizontally in the Y-axis direction with respect to the holding surface 41 in the upper space of the holding surface 41 for holding the substrate 3 . Then, the substrate processing apparatus 1 can form coating on the upper surface 31 of the substrate 3 held by the holding surface 41 by discharging the coating liquid from the discharge port 21 of the slit nozzle 2 while relatively moving the slit nozzle 2 as described above. Floor.

再者,從基板3的各個邊的端部起規定寬度的區域(框緣狀的區域)成為不作為塗佈液的塗佈對象的非塗佈區域。In addition, the area|region (frame-shaped area|region) of predetermined width|variety from the edge part of each side of the board|substrate 3 becomes a non-coating area|region which is not a coating object of a coating liquid.

另外,在基板處理裝置1與外部搬送機構之間的基板3的交接期間(即,基板3的搬入搬出期間)等在平台4上不進行塗佈處理的期間,狹縫噴嘴2退避至作為從基板3的保持面41向+Y側偏離的區域的噴嘴調整區域100(相當於圖1中例示的狀態),狹縫噴嘴2通過噴嘴清掃裝置接受清潔處理。In addition, during a period in which the coating process is not performed on the stage 4, such as a period in which the substrate 3 is delivered between the substrate processing apparatus 1 and the external transport mechanism (ie, a period in which the substrate 3 is loaded and unloaded), the slit nozzle 2 is withdrawn as a In the nozzle adjustment region 100 (corresponding to the state illustrated in FIG. 1 ) in the region where the holding surface 41 of the substrate 3 is deviated to the +Y side, the slit nozzle 2 is cleaned by the nozzle cleaning device.

再者,作為基板處理裝置1進行的基板處理,除了上文所述的塗佈處理以外,還可假定例如高溫處理等。在此情況下,用於支撐基板3的升降銷從形成於熱板的上表面的貫通孔突出。另外,即便在堆積包括多個此種熱板的情況下,在各個熱板也會包括升降銷。In addition, as the substrate processing performed by the substrate processing apparatus 1, in addition to the coating processing described above, for example, high temperature processing can be assumed. In this case, lift pins for supporting the substrate 3 protrude from through holes formed on the upper surface of the hot plate. In addition, even when a stack includes a plurality of such hot plates, lift pins are included in each of the hot plates.

如圖4中例示那樣,在軸82的與升降機構8C相向的部位設置有小齒輪82A。另外,在軸82的端部設置有用於與其他軸82聯動的聯動夾具82B。聯動夾具82B插入至聯動部84的內部,且在聯動部84的內部與其他軸82的聯動夾具82B接觸,由此使軸彼此的旋轉聯動。As illustrated in FIG. 4 , a pinion gear 82A is provided at a portion of the shaft 82 facing the elevating mechanism 8C. In addition, an interlocking jig 82B for interlocking with another shaft 82 is provided at the end of the shaft 82 .

和升降機構8C連結的框構件7、進而由框構件7從下方支撐的升降銷6與由驅動源8A的驅動引起的升降機構8C的升降驅動聯動地升降。The frame member 7 connected to the elevating mechanism 8C and further the elevating pins 6 supported from below by the frame member 7 move up and down in conjunction with the elevating drive of the elevating mechanism 8C by the drive of the drive source 8A.

<關於升降銷的升降動作> 圖5及圖6是表示升降銷6的升降動作的例子的剖面圖。首先,如圖5中例示那樣,在升降銷6未從平台4的保持面41向上方突出的狀態(在圖5中,升降銷6插入至貫通孔90,且升降銷6未從保持面41向上方突出的狀態)下,與升降機構8C連結的框構件7配置於下方位置。<About the lifting action of the lift pin> 5 and 6 are cross-sectional views showing an example of the raising/lowering operation of the raising/lowering pin 6 . First, as illustrated in FIG. 5 , in a state where the lift pins 6 do not protrude upward from the holding surface 41 of the platform 4 (in FIG. 5 , the lift pins 6 are inserted into the through holes 90 and the lift pins 6 do not protrude from the holding surface 41 The frame member 7 connected to the elevating mechanism 8C is arranged in a downward position in a state protruding upward.

另一方面,當升降機構8C通過驅動源8A的驅動使框構件7上升時,框構件7配置於上方位置,伴隨於此,由框構件7從下方支撐的各個升降銷6經由貫通孔90向保持面41的上方突出。於是,由升降銷6支撐下表面的基板3與保持面41分離地被抬起。在基板3由升降銷6支撐的狀態下,進行基板3的搬入或搬出等。On the other hand, when the elevating mechanism 8C raises the frame member 7 by the driving of the driving source 8A, the frame member 7 is arranged in the upper position, and accordingly, the respective elevating pins 6 supported by the frame member 7 from below pass through the through holes 90 to the upper position. The upper part of the holding surface 41 protrudes. Then, the substrate 3 whose lower surface is supported by the lift pins 6 is lifted apart from the holding surface 41 . In a state where the substrate 3 is supported by the lift pins 6 , the loading or unloading of the substrate 3 is performed.

再者,在圖5中示出了升降銷6不從保持面41突出且基板3與保持面41接觸的情況(或被吸附的情況),但也可為如接近銷等那樣維持從保持面41稍微突出的狀態的升降銷。5 shows the case where the lift pins 6 do not protrude from the holding surface 41 and the substrate 3 is in contact with the holding surface 41 (or is sucked), but it may be maintained from the holding surface such as a proximity pin or the like. 41 Lift pins in a slightly protruding state.

<關於升降銷驅動部的結構的變形例> 圖7是表示驅動力傳遞機構80B及升降機構80C的結構的例子的圖。<A modified example of the structure of the lift pin drive portion> FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the driving force transmission mechanism 80B and the elevating mechanism 80C.

如圖7中例示那樣,驅動力傳遞機構80B為與線性馬達等驅動源的驅動聯動地沿框構件7的周向水平移動的多個板構件。As illustrated in FIG. 7 , the driving force transmission mechanism 80B is a plurality of plate members that horizontally move in the circumferential direction of the frame member 7 in conjunction with the driving of a driving source such as a linear motor.

如圖7中例示那樣,滑動孔88形成於驅動力傳遞機構80B的與升降機構80C相向的位置。滑動孔88包括位於驅動力傳遞機構80B的鉛垂方向上側的端部88A以及位於鉛垂方向下側的端部88B,端部88A與端部88B之間傾斜同時平滑地連接。As illustrated in FIG. 7 , the slide hole 88 is formed at a position of the driving force transmission mechanism 80B facing the lift mechanism 80C. The slide hole 88 includes an end portion 88A positioned on the upper side in the vertical direction of the driving force transmission mechanism 80B and an end portion 88B positioned on the lower side in the vertical direction.

另一方面,各個升降機構80C為嵌入至形成於驅動力傳遞機構80B的滑動孔88的凸部。所述凸部形成於框構件7的外周部。On the other hand, each of the elevating mechanisms 80C is a convex portion fitted into a sliding hole 88 formed in the driving force transmission mechanism 80B. The convex portion is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the frame member 7 .

而且,當驅動力傳遞機構80B與驅動源的驅動力聯動地水平移動時,嵌入至滑動孔88的凸部在嵌入至滑動孔88的狀態下從滑動孔88的端部88A(或端部88B)向端部88B(或端部88A)平滑地移動並升降。Furthermore, when the driving force transmission mechanism 80B moves horizontally in conjunction with the driving force of the driving source, the convex portion fitted into the sliding hole 88 is inserted into the sliding hole 88 from the end portion 88A (or the end portion 88B of the sliding hole 88 ). ) moves smoothly toward the end 88B (or the end 88A) and ascends and descends.

由此,和升降機構80C連結的框構件7、進而由框構件7從下方支撐的升降銷6與由驅動源的驅動引起的升降機構80C的升降驅動聯動地升降。Thereby, the frame member 7 connected to the elevating mechanism 80C and further the elevating pins 6 supported from below by the frame member 7 ascend and descend in conjunction with the ascending and descending drive of the ascending and descending mechanism 80C by the drive of the drive source.

再者,驅動力傳遞機構及升降機構的結構除此以外還可假定多種結構。例如,也可設為使用曲柄臂或滾珠絲杠等將旋轉驅動馬達的旋轉驅動轉換為升降驅動的機構的組合。另外,也可沿著框構件7的周向拉伸帶、鏈條或線等,由此傳遞旋轉驅動馬達的驅動力。或者,也可使多個齒輪沿著框構件7的周向連結,由此傳遞旋轉驅動馬達的驅動力。In addition, various structures other than the structures of the driving force transmission mechanism and the elevating mechanism can be assumed. For example, a combination of a mechanism that converts the rotational drive of the rotational drive motor into the lift drive using a crank arm, a ball screw, or the like may be employed. In addition, a belt, a chain, a wire, or the like may be stretched along the circumferential direction of the frame member 7 to transmit the driving force of the rotational drive motor. Alternatively, a plurality of gears may be coupled along the circumferential direction of the frame member 7 to transmit the driving force of the rotary drive motor.

<關於由以上所記載的實施方式產生的效果> 接著,示出由以上所記載的實施方式產生的效果的例子。再者,在以下的說明中,基於以上所記載的實施方式中例示的具體結構來記載所述效果,但也可在產生同樣的效果的範圍內,與本申請說明書中例示的其他具體結構置換。<About the effects of the above-described embodiment> Next, an example of the effect produced by the embodiment described above is shown. In addition, in the following description, the above-mentioned effects are described based on the specific structures exemplified in the above-described embodiments, but the effects may be replaced with other specific structures exemplified in the specification of the present application within the scope of producing the same effects. .

根據以上所記載的實施方式,基板處理裝置包括:保持面41、多個升降銷6、框構件7、以及升降銷驅動部8。保持面41在上面保持基板3。多個升降銷6經由形成於保持面41的多個貫通孔90分別向保持面41的上表面突出。框構件7從下方支撐多個升降銷6,且在俯視時與保持面41重疊地配置。升降銷驅動部8在俯視時配置於框構件7的外周部。另外,升降銷驅動部8通過使框構件7升降來使多個升降銷6升降。此處,升降銷驅動部8包括驅動源8A、驅動力傳遞機構8B(或驅動力傳遞機構80B)、多個升降機構8C(或升降機構80C)。驅動力傳遞機構8B沿框構件7的周向延伸地配置,且傳遞驅動源8A的驅動力。多個升降機構8C連結於驅動力傳遞機構8B與框構件7的外周部,且使框構件7升降。According to the above-described embodiment, the substrate processing apparatus includes the holding surface 41 , the plurality of lift pins 6 , the frame member 7 , and the lift pin drive unit 8 . The holding surface 41 holds the substrate 3 thereon. The plurality of lift pins 6 respectively protrude toward the upper surface of the holding surface 41 through the plurality of through holes 90 formed in the holding surface 41 . The frame member 7 supports the plurality of lift pins 6 from below, and is arranged so as to overlap with the holding surface 41 in a plan view. The lift pin driving portion 8 is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the frame member 7 in a plan view. In addition, the lift pin drive unit 8 lifts and lowers the plurality of lift pins 6 by raising and lowering the frame member 7 . Here, the lift pin drive unit 8 includes a drive source 8A, a drive force transmission mechanism 8B (or a drive force transmission mechanism 80B), and a plurality of lift mechanisms 8C (or lift mechanisms 80C). The driving force transmission mechanism 8B is arranged to extend in the circumferential direction of the frame member 7 and transmits the driving force of the driving source 8A. The plurality of elevating mechanisms 8C are connected to the driving force transmission mechanism 8B and the outer peripheral portion of the frame member 7 to elevate the frame member 7 .

根據此種結構,由於可將升降銷驅動部8配置於在俯視時充分遠離基板3的中心的位置,因此在進行驅動源8A或升降機構8C等的維護作業時,不需要潛入至基板3的下方。因此,維護作業變得容易。另外,由於沿框構件7的周向延伸形成的驅動力傳遞機構8B將驅動源8A的驅動力傳遞至多個升降機構8C,因此可經由多個升降機構8C使框構件7整體均等且穩定地升降。另外,由於可在框構件7的外周部充分遠離地配置多個升降機構8C,因此可使由框構件7支撐的多個升降銷6均等且穩定地升降。According to such a configuration, since the lift pin driving unit 8 can be arranged at a position sufficiently distant from the center of the substrate 3 in plan view, it is not necessary to infiltrate the substrate 3 when maintenance work such as the drive source 8A or the lift mechanism 8C is performed. below. Therefore, maintenance work becomes easy. In addition, since the driving force transmission mechanism 8B formed to extend in the circumferential direction of the frame member 7 transmits the driving force of the driving source 8A to the plurality of elevating mechanisms 8C, the entire frame member 7 can be raised and lowered equally and stably via the plurality of elevating mechanisms 8C. . In addition, since the plurality of elevating mechanisms 8C can be arranged sufficiently distant from the outer peripheral portion of the frame member 7, the plurality of elevating pins 6 supported by the frame member 7 can be raised and lowered equally and stably.

再者,即便在對上文所述的結構中適宜追加了本申請說明書中例示的其他結構的情況下,即,適宜追加了作為上文所述的結構未提及的本申請說明書中的其他結構的情況下,也可產生同樣的效果。In addition, even when other structures illustrated in the specification of the present application are appropriately added to the structures described above, that is, other structures not mentioned in the specification of the present application that are not mentioned as the structures described above are appropriately added. In the case of the structure, the same effect can be produced.

另外,根據以上所記載的實施方式,升降銷驅動部8在俯視時不與框構件7重疊。根據此種結構,通過升降銷驅動部8在俯視時向框構件7的外周部側偏移地配置,在升降銷驅動部8(特別是驅動源8A)中產生的熱難以籠罩在框構件7的下方。特別是在保持面41上進行高溫處理或冷卻處理等的情況下,若在保持面41的下方配置升降銷驅動部8,則容易受到急劇的溫度變化的影響而在升降銷驅動部8產生不良狀況。因此,此種結構有效。另外,通過將升降銷驅動部8配置於不與框構件7重疊的位置,可將升降銷驅動部8配置於與框構件7相同的高度處,因此可將基板處理裝置1的結構的高度抑制得低。因此,維護作業的安全性提高,另外,在輸送基板處理裝置1時也可提高安全性。In addition, according to the above-described embodiment, the lift pin driving portion 8 does not overlap the frame member 7 in a plan view. According to such a configuration, since the lift pin driving portion 8 is arranged offset to the outer peripheral portion side of the frame member 7 in plan view, the heat generated in the lift pin driving portion 8 (particularly, the drive source 8A) is less likely to be enveloped in the frame member 7 . below. In particular, when the holding surface 41 is subjected to high temperature treatment or cooling treatment, if the lift pin driving unit 8 is disposed below the holding surface 41 , the lift pin driving section 8 is likely to be affected by a sudden temperature change and cause defects in the lift pin driving section 8 . situation. Therefore, this structure is effective. In addition, by arranging the lift pin driving portion 8 at a position not overlapping the frame member 7, the lift pin driving portion 8 can be arranged at the same height as the frame member 7, so that the height of the structure of the substrate processing apparatus 1 can be suppressed. lower. Therefore, the safety of maintenance work can be improved, and the safety can also be improved when the substrate processing apparatus 1 is conveyed.

另外,根據以上所記載的實施方式,升降銷驅動部8在俯視時不與保持面41重疊。根據此種結構,通過升降銷驅動部8在俯視時露出至保持面41的外側,可有效地釋放在升降銷驅動部8(特別是驅動源8A)中產生的熱。另外,通過將升降銷驅動部8配置於不與保持面41重疊的位置,可將升降銷驅動部8配置於與保持面41相同的高度處。因此,可將基板處理裝置1的結構的高度抑制得低。In addition, according to the above-described embodiment, the lift pin driving portion 8 does not overlap the holding surface 41 in a plan view. According to such a configuration, the lift pin drive portion 8 is exposed to the outside of the holding surface 41 in plan view, and heat generated in the lift pin drive portion 8 (particularly, the drive source 8A) can be efficiently released. In addition, by arranging the lift pin driving portion 8 at a position not overlapping the holding surface 41 , the lift pin driving portion 8 can be arranged at the same height as the holding surface 41 . Therefore, the height of the structure of the substrate processing apparatus 1 can be suppressed low.

另外,根據以上所記載的實施方式,驅動力傳遞機構8B(或驅動力傳遞機構80B)沿框構件7的不同的兩個周向延伸地配置。根據此種結構,來自驅動源8A的驅動力通過驅動力傳遞機構8B沿著框構件7的多個邊傳遞。因此,可經由多個邊上的升降機構8C,使升降銷6進而基板3均勻且穩定地升降。Moreover, according to the embodiment described above, the driving force transmission mechanism 8B (or the driving force transmission mechanism 80B) is arranged to extend in two different circumferential directions of the frame member 7 . According to such a configuration, the driving force from the driving source 8A is transmitted along the plurality of sides of the frame member 7 by the driving force transmission mechanism 8B. Therefore, the lift pins 6 and thus the substrate 3 can be raised and lowered uniformly and stably through the lift mechanisms 8C on the plurality of sides.

<關於以上所記載的實施方式的變形例> 在以上所記載的實施方式中,有時也記載了各個構成元件的材質、材料、尺寸、形狀、相對的配置關係或實施條件等,但這些在所有方面均是一個例子,並非限定性。<About a modification of the above-described embodiment> In the above-described embodiments, the materials, materials, dimensions, shapes, relative arrangement relationships, and implementation conditions of the respective constituent elements are sometimes described, but these are examples in all respects and are not restrictive.

因此,在本申請說明書中所公開的技術範圍內可假定未例示的無數變形例及均等物。例如,包含對至少一個構成元件進行變形的情況、追加的情況或省略的情況。Therefore, innumerable modification examples and equivalents which are not illustrated can be assumed within the technical scope disclosed in this specification.
