V. Description of the Invention (Industrial) The present invention relates to a device used in, for example, semiconductor wafers or liquid crystal displays (LCDs). A processing system for performing a photo-lithographic process on a substrate. In the process of forming a TFT array (Thin Film Trasitor aray), according to the number of layers (for example, 5 times) constituting the array for a glass substrate, repeat the cleaning process before film formation, film formation process, and resist coating process. One exposure process, one imaging process, one etching process, and one resist stripping process. Conventionally, when forming such a TFT array, for example, in a clean room, a device, a cleaning device, a film forming device, a resist coating, a developing device, a light exposure device, and a polishing device for each process are arranged in a clean room. The glass substrates are transported between each device by an automatic guided device (AGV: Automated Guided Vehicle). In addition, if AGV is used to transport glass substrates between devices, productivity has not improved to the expected level. Therefore, recently, a method has been proposed in which all processing devices are arranged along the order of processing on the transportation path. The processing production methods are implemented in turn. The system to which this production method is applied is a mixture of atmospheric processing equipment and vacuum processing equipment. Among them, the atmospheric processing equipment is along the transportation path of the atmospheric system. The glass substrate is processed in the atmosphere by an agent coating device, a developing device, and the like, and the glass substrate is processed by a film forming device, an etching device, and a polishing device in a vacuum processing device. Here, for example, a load lock chamber is inserted between the processing equipment of the atmospheric transportation system and the vacuum system. In this load lock room, if you are transporting from the atmosphere (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (moved into glass substrate 'will convert the room from atmospheric atmosphere to vacuum atmosphere, and then change the glass The substrate is transferred to the vacuum-type processing device β. When the glass substrate is transferred from the vacuum-type processing device to the atmospheric system, the reverse operation is performed. The operation of changing the vacuum atmosphere may cause problems such as a glass substrate waiting in front of the load lock chamber. That is, according to this system, the processing speed of the entire system may be between the vacuum processing device and the atmospheric system. The transfer speed of glass substrates between transportation paths has been affected. The present invention was created by the creators to solve such problems, and its purpose is to provide a smooth transfer between the fields of atmospheric systems and the fields of vacuum systems. The processing system of the processed object. The Department of Warp-Wisdom Wealth-Production Bureau employee consumer cooperative printed the processing system of the present invention, including: The first field of the air system and the second field of the air system; and the transfer department, which is disposed between the first field and the second field, and has a plurality of independently changeable atmospheric and vacuum atmospheres.

Here, the transfer room may be configured in multiple layers or in a flat shape. The processing system of the present invention , Including: the transportation system of the atmospheric system; the processing department 'which performs the vacuum system processing on the processed 艎; the transfer department, which is located between the aforementioned first processing department of the transportation route and provided with Most transfer rooms of atmospheric atmosphere and vacuum atmosphere can be changed independently, in order to transfer the objects to be processed between the aforementioned transportation roads and the aforementioned processing units through these transfer rooms; and the transport device, which is movably arranged in the The paper size of the paper on the aforementioned conveyance is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard < CNS) 8 4 size (210 × 297 mm) in order to transfer the objects to be processed to the rooms of the aforementioned transfer department. Here, The junction chamber can be arranged in multiple layers or in a flat shape. The present invention, 'the junction chamber is arranged in multiple layers, so that the junctions of most paths can be used.' The object to be processed is transferred to the ground. That is, when it is arranged in the vertical direction, the occupied area is narrower than in the case where it is arranged laterally adjacent to a plurality of transfer rooms. Here, it is necessary to form a clean area in the atmosphere The downflow of air suppresses the adhesion of particles, etc., but it is not necessary to form a downflow of clean air in such a transfer part, so it is easy to multi-layer the transfer chamber. The processing system of the present invention includes a plurality of processing chambers. A vacuum processing is performed on the object to be processed by the processing unit; and a transfer device is disposed between the transfer unit and the processing chambers, so as to perform the processing between the transfer unit and the processing chambers. Handover. Thereby, the processing capacity of the vacuum system can be improved, and the smoothness of the transfer of the processed object can be maintained on one side. The processing system of the present invention uses the aforementioned processing chambers to perform different vacuum system processes on the objects to be processed, respectively.

The photoelectric conversion section 503 for transmitting and receiving data to and from the conveyance path device 11 during the transfer of the glass substrate G between the processing sections 50a to 50Id is provided at a position opposite to the first photoelectric conversion section 502. Thus, the processing section 2 ia ~ 50ld and the delivery device 11 exchange data. For example, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), when the transfer device η transfers the glass substrate G between it and the processing section 501a, the second photoelectric conversion section 503 provided in the transfer device 11 and the first photoelectric conversion section 503 provided in the processing section 50a A photoelectric conversion unit 50 faces each other, and data can be transmitted and received there. In the past, each of the processing units 501a to 501d needed to communicate data with each of the processing units 501a to 501d. In contrast, in this embodiment, a second unit common to each processing unit can be provided in the transport device 11 by its configuration. The photoelectric conversion unit 503 may be sufficient. This can reduce the number of parts. In particular, the processing system 1 shown in FIG. I is provided with a large number of processing units, so that the present invention can be applied to such a processing system 1 to reduce a considerable number of parts. Furthermore, the processing shown in FIG. 1 In System 1, since the TFT formation process is always performed, the glass substrate G that is judged to be defective by the inspection device may also flow into the subsequent processing route. Therefore, the inspection data of the inspection screen is set in the inspection. The first photoelectric conversion unit 502 of the device is delivered to the second photoelectric conversion unit 503 provided in the transport device 11. Thereafter, when the glass substrate G is transferred from the transporting device 11 to the next processing unit, the material is first delivered to the processing unit from the transporting device 11. At this time, it is rejected by the processing unit side and determined by the inspection device as not Good quality glass substrate G may be transferred. Thereby, the useless transfer of the glass substrate G is avoided, and the processing efficiency of the whole system is improved.
