[Previous Technology] In the manufacturing processes of liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, semiconductor devices, etc., a coating device is used in order to form various films on a substrate, or to apply a cleaning solution or a developing solution. As a conventional coating device, for example, disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Zp 4-3 4 1 3 6 7, a coating liquid is dropped from a nozzle to the center of a substrate, and then the substrate is rotated, and the coating is applied by centrifugal force. A device of a spin coating type in which a liquid is uniformly coated on a substrate, or a type in which a coating liquid is uniformly coated on a substrate by a sprayer. In a spin coating type or a spray form, the amount of effective coating solution applied to the substrate is small and the amount wasted in vain. As a coating device that does not waste the coating liquid, there is a roller-type film coater disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 6 3-2 4 6 8 2.

Description of the invention (2) The slit nozzle applies the coating liquid on the substrate to To some extent, the thickness of the coating liquid is uniformized by rotating the substrate. In addition, if the glass substrate incorporated in a liquid crystal display device is mentioned, in order to improve productivity, a film is formed on a large glass substrate, and then it is cut to match the size of each liquid crystal panel. advantageous. These factors have led to the recent increase in the size of substrates (rectangles with sides longer than 1 meter on each side). If the size of the substrate becomes larger, it becomes difficult to rotate the substrate. In other words, if a rectangular substrate with a side length exceeding 1 meter on each side is rotated at a speed of several thousand revolutions per minute, the required device structure will become extremely complicated. In addition, if it is considered that a substrate damage may occur In this case, there are many disadvantages that can cause large substrates to rotate at high speed. On the other hand, a device formed by combining a conventional slit nozzle and a rotation method can omit a mechanism for rotating the substrate, and only needs to consider the slit nozzle. However, when coating, the slit nozzle is continuously moved above the substrate and the coating liquid is supplied to the surface of the substrate, which will inevitably cause the slit nozzle to vibrate during the movement. Due to such vibration, the amount of the coating liquid supplied to the surface of the substrate varies, and this is the cause of uneven film thickness. Here, a linear motor is used to eliminate the uneven film thickness caused by the vibration of the coating element (slit nozzle). Try to make the portion of the coating element that is not in contact with the substrate non-contact. status. [Problems to be solved by the invention] (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇X; 297 mm)-5- 528618 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (3) The component mounted with the coating element can be made to move non-contactly with respect to the substrate, although the uneven coating caused by vibration can be eliminated, but if it is so difficult, That is sufficient. That is, in the past, a coating liquid conveying pump for supplying a coating liquid to a coating element was fixed to a place where the substrate or the like would not move, and an elastic hose was connected between the coating liquid conveying pump and the coating element. connection. Therefore, if the coating element is moved, the elastic hose will be deformed accordingly, the inner volume of the piping will be changed, and the amount of the coating liquid ejected from the coating element will be slightly changed. Therefore, this becomes the cause of uneven film thickness. [Means for Solving the Problem] The coating device of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is provided with a base having a platen for placing a substrate in a horizontal state, and a base which can be moved by a linear motor with respect to the base. A moving member; and a floating means for floating the moving member relative to the base; and a lifting frame that can be freely lifted and supported on the moving member; and a slit-shaped mounting on the lifting frame in a horizontal state. The discharge port is directly opposite the coating device of the coating element above the platen, wherein a coating liquid transfer pump is mounted on the moving member or the lifting frame. By installing the coating liquid delivery pump on the lifting frame, the relative position between the coating liquid delivery pump and the coating element will not change, and the elasticity connected between the coating liquid delivery pump and the coating element will not change. The inner volume of the piping does not change. As a result, the amount ejected from the coating element was kept constant, and the thickness of the film was made uniform.

Description of the Invention (4) If the aforementioned linear motor and floating means are configured to move along It is most desirable if the moving directions of the members are parallel in pairs. This is because when the linear motor and the floating means are arranged only one at the center of the base, for example, the movement of the moving member may be unstable. In addition, as a floating means, an air bearing or a magnet is conceived. In the case of an air bearing, a structure is considered in which a cavity is provided inside the sliding member, and then a pressurized gas is supplied to the cavity to form air from the inner surface of the sliding member ( Holes facing the track).

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the function of the height sensor of the coating apparatus. The coating device is provided on the upper surface of the substrate 1 and mounts the platen 3 through the feet 2 provided with a height adjustment mechanism. In order that the substrate W to be processed such as a glass substrate placed on the upper surface of the platen 3 can exhibit a correct level, the nut mounted on the foot 2 is rotated to finely adjust the height of each portion of the platen 3. A cylinder unit 4 that moves in the vertical direction is mounted on the upper surface of the substrate 1. A horizontal flat plate 5 is mounted on the rod of the cylinder unit 4. The horizontal flat plate 5 is mounted to remove the substrate W to be processed from the stage. Disk 3 lifts the plug 6. In addition, a hole 7 penetrated by the plug 6 is formed in the platen 3. On the other hand, the upper surface of the base 1 is arranged in parallel. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (5) Tracks 8 and 8 extending in the left-right direction. The moving members 9 can be moved along the tracks 8 and 8. That is, the lower surface of the moving member 9 is fixed with an air bearing 10 serving as a floating means across the rail 8. As shown in FIG. 4, the air bearing 10 is formed as a hollow portion that communicates the interior with a compressed air source, and the upper surface of the rail 8 and the opening facing the side 12. On the other hand, if air is supplied to the hollow portion 11 from a compressed air source, gas is ejected from the opening 12 toward the upper surface of the rail 8 and the side surface, and the moving member 9 floats from the rail 8 (base 1). In addition, linear scales are installed at the lower ends of both sides of the air bearing 10. A linear motor 14 is disposed outside each of the rails 8. The linear motor is composed of a magnetic rail 15 parallel to the above-mentioned rail 8 and a plate-shaped coil 16 placed in a space formed by the magnetic rail. In the composition, if a current is passed to the coil 16, the coil 16 will become an electromagnet and generate a magnetic field. On the other hand, the magnetic field causes a dielectric body to generate a magnetic field. If the direction of the current flowing through the coil 16 is continuously switched at an extremely short period, a horizontal force can be generated by the action of a magnetic field. The horizontal force can move the moving member 9 along the rail 8 and the magnetic rail 15. In addition, the principle of the linear motor is not limited to the above. In the present invention, even if a linear motor with a different operating principle is used, it is not a problem. The amount of movement of the moving member 9 is measured by the linear scale 13 described above. On the other hand, a pillar 17 is erected on each moving member 9, and a guide rail 18 that can be moved up and down is mounted on the pillar 17. The paper size will be in the shape of a door. The Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 will be applied. Specifications (210X 297mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) -8-528618 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Between the guide rails 18, an auxiliary motor 20 mounted on the inner side of the pillar 17 is driven, so that the lifting frame 19 can be raised and lowered. In addition, the member for raising and lowering the lifting frame 19 is not limited to the auxiliary motor, and for example, a cam and a motor for driving the cam may be used. A coating element 21 is mounted on the lower surface of the lifting frame 19. Slot-shaped nozzle holes opened in the coating element 21 toward the surface of the substrate W to be mounted on the platen 3 are formed in a lateral direction (left-right direction in the second figure). In addition, the coating liquid conveying pump 23 is fixed to the upper surface of one end side of the lifting frame 19, and the coating liquid conveying pump 23 is made to pass from the coating liquid tank through the supply pipe 24a The coating liquid is supplied, and the coating liquid is supplied from the coating liquid feed pump 2 3 through the supply pipe 2 4 b in the coating element 2 1. In addition, the waste liquid tank, the coating liquid delivery pump 23, and the coating element were connected by vent pipes 25a and 25b, respectively. The coating liquid delivery pump 23 and the coating element 21 were used for charging.抽 Pumping down of the coating solution. In addition, as the materials of the supply pipes 24a and 24b and the vent pipes 25a and 25b, it is possible to use a metal, and it is also possible to use an elastic pipe. Furthermore, a sleeve sensor 26 is mounted on the side surface of the coating element 21, and the sleeve sensor 26 and the amplifier 27 are connected by a signal line. In the above description, the coating liquid is supplied to the surface of the substrate W to be processed, and the coil 16 of the linear motor 14 is energized in a state of being tied to make the moving member non-contact with respect to the rail 8 (base 1).

Description of the invention (7) The delivery pump 2 3 directs the coating liquid from the slit-shaped nozzle hole at the lower end of the coating element 21 toward the substrate. The surface of the processing substrate W is supplied. In addition, in the coating start position and the coating completion position in the coating process, as shown in FIG. 6, in a section where the coating element 21 is moved from left to right, the gap sensor 26 is detected by After processing the upstream end W 1 of the substrate W, the coating liquid will be ejected after a predetermined time has elapsed, and the gap sensor 26 will stop after detecting the downstream end W 2 of the substrate W to be processed after a predetermined time has elapsed. Spray the coating liquid. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, if the coating device according to the present invention is used, the relative position between the coating liquid conveying pump and the coating element can be obtained by installing the coating liquid conveying pump on a lifting frame. There is no change, and the piping internal volume of the flexible hose between the coating liquid conveying pump and the coating element can also be constant. As a result, a coating film with extremely uniform thickness can be formed. In addition to vibration, it also helps to improve the working environment by reducing noise. In addition, since the homogeneous members do not contact each other during the time other than the time of braking, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of dust generated by friction, which can improve the yield of the product, and because the homogeneous members do not contact each other, the Compared with the moving mechanism of the LM guide or the ball screw, semi-permanent and stable coating can be performed without a change over time. In addition, by making the coating element into a liftable form and equipped with a high-level detection sensor, the parallelism can be accurately expressed, and it can respond quickly even when the thickness of the substrate is changed.
