而在處理站2,以構成前述兩列搬送線A,B的方式 ,且基本上依處理順序的方式配置各處理單元及搬送裝置 ,在該等搬送線A、B之間,設置空間部4 0。且可在此空 間部40往復移動地設置搬運梭4 1。此搬運梭4 1係可保持 基板G地被構成,成爲可在與搬送線A、B之間交接基板 G。 而介面站3具有:在處理站2與曝光裝置4之間進行 -11 - (8) 1260686 基板G的搬入搬出的搬送裝置42 ;和配置緩衝晶圓匣的 緩衝台面(BUF ) 43 ;和具備冷卻功能的基板交接部的擴 張·冷卻台面(EXT · COL ) 44,上下積層標記器( TITLER)與周邊曝光裝置(EE)的外部裝置區塊45是鄰 接設置在搬送裝置42。再者,搬送裝置42具備搬送臂 42a,藉由此搬送臂42a在處理站2與曝光裝置4之間進 行基板G的搬入搬出。 在像這樣所構成的光阻塗佈顯像裝置1 〇〇方面,首先 被配置在晶圓匣站1的晶圓匣C內的基板G,經由搬送裝 置1 1搬入到處理站2之後,先進行利用準分子UV照射 單元(e - UV ) 22的擦洗前處理、利用擦洗清淨處理單元 (SCR) 21的擦洗清淨處理。 其次,基板G被搬入到屬於第1熱處理單元區段2 6 的熱處理單元區塊(TB ) 3 1、3 2,施行一連串的熱處理( 脫水烘乾處理、疎水化處理等)。再者,第1熱處理單元 區段2 6內的基板搬送是藉由搬送裝置3 3施行。 然後,基板G被搬入到光阻塗佈處理單元2 3,施行 光阻液的膜形成處理。在此光阻塗佈處理單元2 3,先於光 阻塗佈裝置(CT) 23a方面,對基板G塗佈光阻液,接著 於減壓乾燥單元(VD ) 23b方面,完成減壓乾燥處理。 再者,此光阻塗佈處理單元2 3是包括作爲有關本發 明之塗佈膜形成裝置的光阻塗佈裝置(CT) 23a的單元, 詳細於後述。 在前述光阻塗佈處理單元23的光阻成膜處理後,基 -12- (9) 1260686 板G被搬入到屬於第2熱處理單元區段2 7的熱處理單元 區塊(TB ) 3 4、3 5,進行一連串的熱處理(預烘處理等) 。再者’第2熱處理單元區段27內的基板搬送是藉由搬 送裝置3 6進行。 其次,基板G是藉由搬送裝置3 6往介面站3的擴張 •冷卻台面(EXT.COL) 44搬送,藉由搬送裝置42搬

基板G記錄特定的資訊。然後,基板G被載置在擴張· 冷卻台面(EXT · COL ) 44,由此再次被搬送到處理站2 ^ 。並藉由例如滾柱搬送機構將基板G往顯像處理單元( ~ DEV ) 24搬送,在此施行顯像處理。 ^ 顯像處理結束後,基板G由顯像處理單元(DEV ) 24 被搬送到i線UV照射單元(i 一 UV ) 25,對基板G施行 脫色處理。然後,基板G被搬入到第3熱處理單元區段 2 8,於熱處理單元區塊(TB ) 3 7、3 8施行一連串的熱處 理(後烘處理等)。再者,第3熱處理單元區段28內的 基板搬送是藉由搬送裝置3 9進行。 而基板G是在第3熱處理單元區段28被冷卻到特定 -13- (10) 1260686 溫度之後,藉由晶圓匣站1的搬送裝置1 1被收容 的晶圓匣C。 其次,針對光阻塗佈處理單元2 3根據第2圖 圖做說明。第2圖是構成光阻塗佈處理單元2 3的 佈裝置(CT) 23a、及減壓乾燥單元(VD) 23b的 。第3圖是第2圖的光阻塗佈處理單元2 3的側面圖 如圖所示,光阻塗佈裝置(CT ) 23a及減壓乾 (VD) 23b是在支持台60之上按照處理工程的順 置成橫一列。在支持台60的兩側舖設一對導軌62 沿著該導軌62平行移動的一組或複數組的搬送臂 單元間直接取得基板G。 減壓乾燥單元(VD ) 23b,具有:上面爲開口 或底淺容器型的下部真空室6 6 ;和能氣密密貼或是 此下部真空室66之上面所構成的蓋狀上部真空室 部真空室66爲略四角形,在中心部配置著欲水平 支撐基板G的台面70,在底面的兩處設置排氣口 連接在各排氣口 72的排氣管73則連通至真空幫浦 表示)。並在下部真空室66以覆蓋前述上部真空室 狀態,將兩真空室內的處理空間藉由該真空幫浦減 定的真空度。 像這樣所構成的減壓乾燥單元(VD ) 23b,在 佈裝置(CT ) 23a對塗佈光阻液的基板G,施行加 壓乾燥。即,減壓乾燥方面,光阻中的溶劑慢慢被 由於不會產生像加熱乾燥時的急遽乾燥,在此減壓 在特定 及第3 光阻塗 平面圖 〇 燥單元 序被配 ,藉由 64,在 的托架 嵌合於 67。下 載置而 72。而 (圖未 :67的 壓到特 光阻塗 熱至減 釋放, 乾燥單 -14- (11) 1260686 兀(VD ) 23b,光阻不會受到不良影響,可促進光阻的乾 燥。 更針對光阻塗佈裝置(CT) 23a根據第2圖至第4圖 做說明。第4圖是表示光阻塗佈裝置(c T ) 2 3 a的外觀立 體圖。如圖所示,此光阻塗佈裝置(C T ) 2 3 a,具備:水 平保持基板G的台面50(第一台面)及台面59(第二台 面);和配設在該等台面上方的光阻供給噴嘴(處理液供 給噴嘴)5 1 ;和使此光阻供給噴嘴5 1 (以下稱噴嘴5 1 ) 移動的噴嘴移動手段8 6。於此構成中,噴嘴5 1藉由噴嘴 移動手段8 6做水平移動,藉此使台面5 〇、5 9上的基板G (G 1、G2 )與噴嘴5 1做相對水平移動。 再者,如第3圖所示,前述台面50及台面59分別具 備設有可昇降之吸附機構的基板保持部50a、59a,藉由前 述基板保持部50a、59a收取保持被搬入的基板G。 而如第4圖所示,前述噴嘴51具有:延伸於基板G1 、G2之寬幅方向的縫隙狀吐出口 5 1 a ;和連通此吐出口 5 1 a的光阻液收容室(圖未表示),經由連接於此光阻液 收容室的光阻液供給管57而連接光阻液供給源95 (處理 液供給手段)。 再者,噴嘴5 1的前端部,如第5圖的放大斷面圖所 示,由其短邊側觀看成錐狀,沿著噴嘴短邊方向,在吐出 口 5 1 a .的前後分別形成下端面5 1 b及傾斜面5 1 c。而此噴 嘴5 1在塗佈處理時的行進方向具有方向性。即,如第5 圖所示,與噴嘴行進方向相反側的下端部5 1 b,係寬幅地 -15- (12) 1260686 形成噴嘴短邊方向的長度。藉此像這樣所形成,被吐出的 光阻液R會經由下端部5 1 b的面往基板表面被推壓,使塗 佈處理變得很安定。 而如第2圖至第4圖所示,在台面50與台面59之間 ,設置噴嘴待機部5 5 (塗底處理手段)。此噴嘴待磯部 5 5,具備:欲在待機時使附著在噴嘴5 1之前端的光阻液 均勻化(稱爲塗底處理)之旋轉自如的塗底滾輪5 2 (滾輪 );和爲洗淨該塗底滾輪5 2浸泡在沖淡劑的容器5 3 ;和 用以抑制噴嘴5 1前端乾燥的保濕部(保濕手段)54。 再者,對基板之塗佈處理前的塗底處理,如第6圖所 示,使噴嘴5 1的前端接近塗底滾輪5 2的周面而配置。並 由吐出口 5 1 a吐出光阻液R,另一方面,藉由滾輪旋轉控 制手段65使塗底滾輪52旋轉,進行附著在噴嘴5 1之前 端的光阻液R的均勻化處理。 而如第6圖所示,由吐出口 5 1 a吐出的光阻液R流入 到滾輪5 2的旋轉方向。因而,於塗底處理後,在噴嘴5 1 前端之其中一方,沿著滾輪5 2的旋轉方向,附著比另一 方更多的光阻液的狀態。再者,於塗佈處理時,以吐出口 5 1 a爲邊境,少許附著光阻液R的這側爲行進方向的方式 控制噴嘴5 1的移動方向。藉由像這樣所形成,而於塗佈 開始時抑制掃帚痕等的發生,使塗佈膜更均勻。 而如第6圖所示,在塗底滾輪5 2的途中,設置滑動 片9 1。此滑動片9 1是由耐藥品性的樹脂所形成,前端滑 接到塗底滾輪5 2的周面,除去周面上所不要的前次之回 -16- (13) 1260686 流的光阻液和沖淡劑8 9。 再者,滑動片9 1的前端形狀以能發揮此光阻液除去 功能爲佳,除用在此例的楔形斷面外,可採用矩形斷面和 二股狀的斷面形狀的任意形狀。 而此滑動片9 1是藉由氣缸9 0可在接觸到塗底滾輪5 2 周面的下位置與遠離塗底滾輪5 2周面的上位置之間昇降 地被構成,配合需要,可變更其位置。 而如弟4圖所不’在吐出口 5 1 a的長邊方向的兩側, 設置減低由此吐出口 5 1 a吐出的光阻液R的吐出壓的膜厚 控制手段80。該膜厚控制手段80是以分別連接於連通到 吐出口 5 1 a之長邊方向的兩側的連通路8 1的吸引管82 ; 和設置在吸引管82的例如隔膜幫浦的吸引幫浦83所構成 ,以藉由吸引幫浦8 3的驅動使吐出口 5 1 a之兩側的吐出 壓減低的方式所構成。再者,在吸引管82的吸引幫浦83 的吸引側即噴嘴5 1側,介設開閉閥84。 接著,針對前述構成的光阻塗佈裝置(C T ) 2 3 a的動 作形態做說明。最初如第4圖所示,針對在例如載置於台 面5 0的基板G 1,塗佈光阻液R時的動作做說明。 首先’將噴嘴5 1配置在噴嘴待機部5 5,另一方面將 藉由搬送臂64所搬送的基板G 1吸附保持在台面5 0上。 此時,藉由設置在台面5 0的基板保持部5 0a而吸附基板 G 1。並由光阻液供給源9 5將光阻液R供給到噴嘴5 1內的 光阻液收容室,同時藉由噴嘴移動手段8 6將噴嘴5 1由噴 嘴待機部55移動到台面50的左側端部上方。 -17- (14) 1260686 其次,噴嘴5 1是一面由吐出口 5 1 a吐出光阻液R, 一面在基板G1上往右方向移動。再者’吐出口 51a與基 板G的距離,設置在40〜1 5 0 // m左右,理想爲設定在60 ji m。 而此時,驅動吸引幫浦83來吸引吐出口 51a之長邊 方向的兩側,藉此減少吐出口 5 1 a之兩側的光阻液R的吐 出壓,吐出口 5 1 a的中央部側的吐出壓與兩側的吐出壓大

INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a production process of a lift film forming process at the time of forming a film on a substrate to be processed, and at the same time, it can be uniformly coated on a substrate to be processed. A coating film forming device for liquid. [Prior Art] For example, in the manufacture of an LCD, after a specific film is formed on an LCD substrate of a substrate to be processed, a photoresist film is applied to form a photoresist film, and a photoresist film is exposed corresponding to the circuit pattern. The so-called lithography technique of the traveling development process forms a circuit pattern. In this lithography technology, the LCD substrate of the substrate to be processed, the main engineering is after the so-called washing treatment - dehydration drying - adhesion (hydration) treatment - photoresist coating - pre-baking - exposure - development - post-baking A series of processes form a specific circuit pattern in the photoresist layer. Conventionally, in such a process, the processing unit that advances each process is arranged in a form of conscious processing on both sides of the transport path. On the other hand, the loading and unloading of the LCD substrate of each processing unit is performed by the central transfer device that can travel on the transport path. Such a processing system has a very high degree of freedom of processing due to the fact that it is basically random access. In the processing system, a method of forming a photoresist film by applying a photoresist solution to an LCD substrate is provided by a photoresist supply nozzle for strip coating photoresist and an LCD substrate in a longitudinal direction of the nozzle discharge port. A method in which the orthogonal directions are relatively moved to be coated. At this time, a slit-shaped discharge port having a minute gap extending in the width direction of the substrate is provided in the photoresist supply nozzle, and the photoresist liquid which is discharged in a strip shape by the slit -5 - (2) 1260686 slit discharge port is supplied to the substrate. The entire surface of the surface is thereby formed into a photoresist film. According to this method, the photoresist film can be formed on the corner substrate from the side of the substrate to the other side, and the photoresist can be discharged (supply) without damaging the photoresist. In addition, a coating film forming apparatus using such a coating film forming method is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. No. 1 5 62 5 5 . [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 10-156255 (p. 3, right column, fifth line to fourth page, left column, sixth line, first figure) [Summary of the Invention] [Problems to be solved by the invention] The coating film forming apparatus of the coating film forming method is only the production amount of the lift film forming process. As shown in Fig. 15, two mesas 200 for mounting the substrate G, the photoresist supply nozzle 201, and adjustment can be provided. A device formed by the nozzle standby unit 202 in a photoresist state attached to the tip end of the nozzle 201. When formed as described above, a film formation process is performed on the substrate in each of the mesas 200. Therefore, there is a technical problem that the cost of the imprinting and the device is greatly increased at this time. The present invention is an invention as described above, and an object thereof is to provide a method for suppressing the cost of the imprinting and the device, and also coating the processing liquid. When the substrate to be processed is formed, a coating film forming apparatus that uniformly applies a treatment liquid to each of the substrates to be processed is produced while the throughput of the film formation treatment is increased. -6 - (3) 1260686 [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve the above-described problems, the coating film forming apparatus according to the present invention is a coating film forming apparatus that forms a film on the surface of the substrate to be processed. And a first working surface and a second surface on which the substrate to be processed are placed in parallel, and a processing liquid supply nozzle having a slit-shaped discharge port extending in a wide direction of the substrate to be processed; and moving the aforementioned a nozzle moving means for processing the liquid supply nozzle; and a processing liquid supply means for supplying the processing liquid to the processing liquid supply nozzle; and discharging the processing liquid from the discharge port to a circumferential surface of the roller which is rotatably formed, and rotating the roller The coating treatment means for treating the processing liquid adhering to the discharge port; the processing liquid supply nozzle is characterized in that the processing liquid is applied to the surface of the substrate to be processed placed on the first mesa and the second mesa . In this manner, by arranging the two mesas, it is possible to efficiently carry out the coating process on the substrate to be processed placed on each of the mesas. In other words, in the coating process of one of the mesas, the loading and unloading operation is performed on the other mesa, and the time required for the substrate to be carried in and out can be saved more than in the case of a single mesa, and the throughput can be increased. Further, the above-mentioned undercoating means is desirably disposed between the first mesa and the second mesa. It is desirable that the nozzle moving means brings the discharge port of the processing supply nozzle close to the circumferential surface of the roller before the coating processing of the substrate to be processed, and processes the processing liquid adhering to the discharge port. In this way, the substrate can be coated immediately after the homogenization treatment of the treatment liquid adhering to the discharge port of the treatment liquid supply nozzle, regardless of the substrate on which the surface is placed. . Therefore, it is possible to carry out a coating process in which the film thickness is uniform for the substrate processed on any of the mesas, and to increase the throughput. The undercoating means "provides a roller rotation control means for controlling the rotation of the roller. It is desirable that the roller rotation control means is based on the coating process after the homogenization treatment when the processing liquid adhering to the discharge port is homogenized. The rotation direction of the roller is determined by the first table surface or the one of the second table surfaces. According to this configuration, at the nozzle tip end portion, a plurality of processing liquids are attached to the side opposite to the nozzle traveling direction by the discharge port as a boundary. In other words, in the nozzle tip end portion, when a plurality of processing liquids are attached to the side opposite to the direction in which the nozzle travels with the discharge port as a boundary, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a smear or the like due to unevenness of the coating film at the start of coating. Further, it is desirable to provide a moisturizing means for suppressing drying of the tip end of the treatment liquid supply nozzle in the above-described undercoating means. ^ By setting a moisturizing method like this, it is possible to suppress the drying of the front end of the nozzle during standby. And the priming means and the second priming means are disposed on the right side of the first table and the second table, respectively. Or on the left. It is desirable that the nozzle moving means brings the discharge port of the processing liquid supply nozzle close to the circumferential surface of the roller before the coating process on the substrate to be processed placed on the first mesa, and the first coating treatment means uniformizes The processing liquid that adheres to the discharge port and the coating process on the substrate to be processed placed on the surface of the second stage -8 - (5) 1260686 before the nozzle moving means supplies the discharge port of the burying liquid to the nozzle The second coating treatment means that is close to the circumferential surface of the roller is used to homogenize the processing liquid image adhered to the discharge port, and the two mesas are arranged side by side, thereby efficiently handling the substrate to be processed placed on each of the mesas A coating treatment is performed. In other words, in the case where one of the mesas is subjected to the coating process, the loading and unloading operation is performed on the other table surface, and the time required for the substrate to be carried in and out can be saved more than in the case of the conventional single mesa, and the throughput can be increased. On the other hand, the substrate placed on either of the mesas can be subjected to the coating treatment immediately after the treatment of the processing liquid adhering to the discharge port of the processing liquid supply nozzle. Therefore, it is possible to apply a uniform coating thickness to the substrate processed on any of the substrates, and to increase the throughput. It is desirable that the first and second coating means have a roller rotation control means for controlling the rotation of the roller; the rotation direction of the roller w of the first coating treatment means and the roller of the second coating treatment means are in the same direction . According to this configuration, in the nozzle tip end portion, a plurality of processing liquids are attached to the side opposite to the nozzle traveling direction by the discharge port. In other words, in the nozzle tip end portion, when a plurality of processing liquids are attached to the side opposite to the nozzle traveling direction by the discharge port as a boundary, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a swab or the like due to unevenness of the coating film at the start of coating. Further, it is desirable that the first coating treatment means or the second coating treatment means be provided with a means for suppressing the drying of the front end of the processing liquid supply nozzle, -9-(6) 1260686. By providing a moisturizing means like this, it is possible to suppress the drying of the front end of the nozzle during standby.

As shown in Fig. 4, The nozzle 51 has a slit-shaped discharge port 5 1 a extending in the width direction of the substrates G1 and G2, and a photoresist liquid-receiving chamber (not shown) communicating with the discharge port 5 1 a via the connection of the photoresist The photoresist liquid supply pipe 57 of the liquid storage chamber is connected to the photoresist liquid supply source 95 (processing liquid supply means). Further, the tip end portion of the nozzle 51 is short as shown in the enlarged cross-sectional view of Fig. 5 The side surface is tapered, and the lower end surface 5 1 b and the inclined surface 5 1 c are formed in front of and behind the discharge opening 5 1 a. along the short side direction of the nozzle, and the traveling direction of the nozzle 51 in the coating process. Having the directivity, that is, as shown in Fig. 5, the lower end portion 5 1 b on the side opposite to the direction in which the nozzle travels is formed in a width of -15 - (12) 1260686 to form a length in the short side direction of the nozzle. Formed, the discharged photoresist R is pressed against the surface of the substrate via the surface of the lower end portion 5 1 b to make the coating process stable. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , the mesa 50 is Between the mesas 59, a nozzle standby unit 5 5 (bottoming means) is provided. This nozzle is to be placed on the rock portion 5 5 and is intended to be in standby mode. a rotatably coated bottom roller 5 2 (roller) for homogenizing the photoresist liquid attached to the front end of the nozzle 5 1 (referred to as a priming treatment); and a container 5 for immersing the priming roller 5 2 in the immersion agent for cleaning 3; and a moisturizing portion (moisturizing means) 54 for suppressing drying of the tip end of the nozzle 5 1. Further, the coating treatment before the coating treatment of the substrate is as shown in Fig. 6, and the front end of the nozzle 51 is coated. The bottom surface of the bottom roller 52 is disposed, and the photoresist R is discharged from the discharge port 5 1 a. On the other hand, the roller roller 52 is rotated by the roller rotation control means 65 to adhere the light to the front end of the nozzle 5 1 . Homogenization treatment of the liquid barrier R. As shown in Fig. 6, the photoresist R discharged from the discharge port 5 1 a flows into the rotation direction of the roller 52. Therefore, after the priming treatment, one of the tips of the nozzles 5 1 is attached to the state of the photoresist in the direction of rotation of the roller 5 2 more than the other. Further, at the time of the coating treatment, the moving direction of the nozzle 51 is controlled such that the discharge port 5 1 a is the boundary and the side where the photoresist R is slightly attached is the traveling direction. By forming as described above, the occurrence of a swab or the like is suppressed at the start of coating, and the coating film is made more uniform. As shown in Fig. 6, on the way of the bottom roller 5 2, the slider 9 1 is provided. The sliding piece 91 is formed of a chemical-resistant resin, and the front end is slid to the circumferential surface of the coating roller 5 2, and the photoresist of the previous back--16-(13) 1260686 flow is removed. Liquid and thinner 8 9 . Further, the shape of the tip end of the slide piece 9 1 is preferably such that the photoresist liquid removing function can be exhibited, and in addition to the wedge-shaped cross section of this example, any shape of a rectangular cross section and a two-stripe cross-sectional shape can be employed. Further, the slide piece 9 1 is configured such that the cylinder 90 can be moved up and down between the lower position contacting the circumferential surface of the undercoat roller 5 2 and the upper position away from the circumferential surface of the undercoat roller 5 2, and can be changed as needed. Its location. On the other side of the longitudinal direction of the discharge port 5 1 a, the film thickness control means 80 for reducing the discharge pressure of the photoresist R discharged from the discharge port 5 1 a is provided. The film thickness control means 80 is a suction pipe 82 which is connected to the communication path 8 1 which is connected to both sides in the longitudinal direction of the discharge port 5 1 a, and a suction pump which is provided in the suction pipe 82, for example, a diaphragm pump. The configuration of 83 is such that the discharge pressure on both sides of the discharge port 5 1 a is reduced by the drive of the suction pump 8 3 . Further, an opening and closing valve 84 is interposed on the suction side of the suction pump 83 of the suction pipe 82, that is, on the nozzle 5 1 side. Next, an operation mode of the photoresist coating device (C T ) 2 3 a having the above configuration will be described. First, as shown in Fig. 4, an operation when the photoresist R is applied to the substrate G1 placed on the mesa 50, for example, will be described. First, the nozzle 5 1 is placed in the nozzle standby portion 55, and the substrate G1 carried by the transfer arm 64 is adsorbed and held on the table surface 50. At this time, the substrate G 1 is adsorbed by the substrate holding portion 50a provided on the mesa 50. The photoresist liquid R is supplied from the photoresist liquid supply source 95 to the photoresist liquid storage chamber in the nozzle 51, and the nozzle 51 is moved from the nozzle standby portion 55 to the left side of the mesa 50 by the nozzle moving means 86. Above the end. -17- (14) 1260686 Next, the nozzle 5 1 discharges the photoresist R from the discharge port 5 1 a while moving in the right direction on the substrate G1. Further, the distance between the discharge port 51a and the substrate G is set to be about 40 to 150 / m, preferably set at 60 ji m. At this time, the suction pump 83 is driven to suck both sides in the longitudinal direction of the discharge port 51a, thereby reducing the discharge pressure of the resist liquid R on both sides of the discharge port 5 1 a and the center portion of the discharge port 5 1 a. The discharge pressure on the side is substantially equal to the discharge pressure on both sides, that is, the liquid thickness of the resist liquid R is equal, and is discharged to the substrate G in a strip shape. Therefore, the substrate G and the nozzle 51 move relatively horizontally, whereby the photoresist R is supplied in a strip shape on the surface of the substrate G, and a photoresist film having a uniform film thickness is formed on the entire surface of the substrate G. After the photoresist film is formed on the surface of the substrate G, the supply of the photoresist R is stopped, the nozzle 51 is moved to the standby position, and the discharge port 5 1 a of the nozzle 5 1 is brought close to the nozzle standby portion 5 5 . The bottom roller 52 is equipped for the next coating process. The substrate G on which the photoresist film is formed is transported from the mounting table 50 to the decompression drying unit (VD) 23b by the transfer arm 64. Next, the operation of the nozzle 5 1 when the plurality of substrates are continuously subjected to the coating process for the photoresist coating apparatus (CT) 23 3 a will be described with reference to Figs. 7 and 8 . Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the moving direction of the nozzle 51. Fig. 8 is a flow chart showing the operation control of the nozzle 51. First, the nozzle 5 1 is brought close to the coating roller 5 2 of the nozzle standby portion 5 5 to perform the coating process at the tip end of the nozzle 5 1 (step S 1 in Fig. 8). When the substrate G1 in the uncoated state is transported onto the mesa 5 (step S2 in Fig. 8), the nozzle 51 is moved to the left end of the mesa 5 ,, and the substrate G j -18- (15) 1260686 The coating process of the photoresist R is performed (step s 3 of Fig. 8). Further, at this time, the nozzle 51 moves to the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 7, and the coating process is performed. Next, the nozzle 51 moves to the nozzle standby portion 55, and the bottom coating of the nozzle 5 1 is performed (step S4 in Fig. 8). When the substrate G 2 in the final coating state is transported onto the mesa 5 9 (step S 5 in FIG. 8 ), the nozzle 5 1 is moved to the right end of the mesa 59 and the photoresist g is applied to the substrate g2. Coating treatment (step S 6 of Fig. 8). Further, at this time, the nozzle 51 moves to the direction indicated by the arrow in Fig. 7, and the coating process is performed. Then, the process returns to the step S1 of Fig. 8, and when the substrate in the uncoated state is continuously transferred to each of the mesas, the substrate is subjected to a coating process in accordance with the above-described flow. On the other hand, when the substrate is not conveyed to the table surface in the step S2 or the step S5, the nozzle 51 moves to the moisturizing portion 54 after the coating process, and stands by in a state where the tip end of the nozzle 5 1 is not dried (step of Fig. 8). S 7 ). Further, as described above, the nozzle 51 has a directivity in the traveling direction at the time of the coating process. Therefore, at the time of the coating process, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 7, the substrates G? and G2 control the movement of the nozzles by the nozzle moving means 86 in the same direction as the nozzles 5i move on the substrate. According to the first embodiment described above, the two mesas 5 and 5 are arranged side by side, whereby the substrate g on which the mesas are placed is efficiently coated. In other words, in the coating process of one of the mesas, the loading and unloading operation is performed on the other mesa, and the time required for the substrate to be carried in and out can be saved more than in the case of a single mesa, and the throughput can be increased. -19- (16) 1260686, the nozzle standby portion 5 is disposed between the two mesas 50, 59, and the substrate G placed on any of the mesas can be subjected to the coating treatment of the nozzle 51. The coating treatment is carried out immediately. Therefore, a uniform coating process can be performed on the substrate G connected to either of the mesas. In contrast to the case where there are two devices formed by the mesa, the nozzle and the nozzle standby portion as shown in Fig. 15, the footprint can be reduced and the cost of the device can be reduced. Further, according to the configuration described in the above-described embodiment, in either of the mesa 50 or the mesa 59, the coating arm 64 or the substrate holding portions 50a and 59a cannot be coated, and the coating process can be performed. In the flow of the flow shown in Fig. 8, the coating process can be performed on the other surface. In other words, when the failure occurs on the side of the table 50, the coating process at the tip end of the nozzle 5 1 and the unprocessed substrate G2 on the table 59 are sequentially repeated to perform the coating process. On the other hand, when a failure occurs on the mesa 5 9 side, the coating process at the tip end of the nozzle 5 1 and the unprocessed substrate G 1 on the mesa 50 are repeatedly applied in a coating process. Therefore, the operation interruption of the photoresist coating development processing apparatus 1 due to the above-described malfunction can be avoided. Next, a second embodiment of a coating film forming apparatus (photoresist coating apparatus) according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 9 to 11 . Further, in the second embodiment, only the formation of the photoresist coating device 2 3 a and the operation control thereof are different from those of the first embodiment described above, and the other common configurations are omitted. Fig. 9 is a plan view showing the side -20-(17) 1260686 of the photoresist coating apparatus of the second embodiment. Fig. 1 is a view for explaining a coating process having a photoresist supply nozzle by the photoresist coating device of Fig. 9. Fig. 1 is a view for explaining a coating process of a photoresist supply nozzle provided in the photoresist coating device of Fig. 9. In the second embodiment, as shown in Fig. 9, the nozzle 51 is controlled by the operation of the nozzle moving means 86, and the direction of the coating process is changed to the side of the table 50 or the side of the table 59. Further, as shown in Fig. 1, the tip end portion of the nozzle 51 is formed to have a wide width by the pair of lower end portions 51 1 1 which are opposed to each other via the discharge 5 1 a. By forming in this manner, even if the traveling direction of the nozzle 51 is in any direction indicated by an arrow, the discharged photoresist R can be pressed against the surface of the substrate by the surface of the lower end portion 5 1 b, and can be stably coated. . On the other hand, in the priming process shown in Fig. 1, the roller rotation control means determines the rotation direction of the roller 5 2 based on the next coating process on either the land 50 or the table surface 59. In other words, the direction of rotation of the roller 5 2 is determined such that the front end of the nozzle 5 1 has a discharge port 5 1 a as a boundary, and a plurality of photoresist liquids R are attached to the opposite side of the nozzle traveling side of the next coating process. As shown in the figure, the sliding piece 9 is placed on the left and right sides of the roller 50 through the nozzle 5 1 , and any one of the sliding pieces 9 1 is slid to the circumferential surface of the roller 5 2 by the rotation of the roller 5 2 . The way is controlled. Gp, by the direction of rotation of the roller 5 2, any of the sliders 90 is driven to control the lifting movement of the slider. As described above, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the substrate P placed on the mesa 50 or the substrate P placed on the mesa 59 is pushed by 91 units. The -21(12) 1260686 can be applied directly to the direction of the substrate after the primer treatment. In other words, the configuration is more directional than in the traveling direction of the nozzle 51, and the movement of the nozzle 51 is not wasted, so that the throughput can be increased and the front end of the nozzle 5 can be prevented from drying. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the configuration of the photoresist coating device 23a shown in Fig. 9 is configured to increase the throughput in a slightly more uniform manner than in the case of the second embodiment. Next, a third embodiment of a coating film forming apparatus (photoresist coating machine) according to the present invention will be described based on Fig. 2 . Further, in the third embodiment, the configuration of the photoresist coating apparatus 2 3 a and the operation control thereof are different from those of the first embodiment described above, and other common configurations will be described in detail. Fig. 2 is a side view showing the photoresist coating apparatus of the third embodiment in a mode. As shown in Fig. 2, the mesas 50 and the mesas 5 9 on which the substrates g 1 and G2 are placed are arranged side by side in the lateral direction, and the nozzle standby portion 5 is provided in the vicinity of the mesa 50 opposite to the mesa 5 9 . (bottom treatment means). In the photoresist coating device 23a, the nozzle 51 moved by the nozzle standby portion 55 first coats the substrate 〇1 on the mesa 50, and then coats the substrate G2 on the mesas 59. After processing, it returns to the nozzle standby unit 55. As described above, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, the substrates G1 and 〇2 placed on the mesas 50 and the mesas 59 can be continuously subjected to the coating process, and the number of processes per unit time can be increased. However, in the third embodiment, after the coating treatment of the substrate G1, the photoresist which is dried and solidified in the coating treatment adheres to the periphery of the slit-like spout -22-(19) 1260686. Therefore, when the coating process is performed on the next substrate G2 in this state, there is a technical problem that the discharge of the photoresist from the discharge port is scattered and the substrate surface cannot be uniformly coated. Then, the embodiment that solves the above-described technical problems is described in the fourth embodiment of the coating film forming apparatus (photoresist coating apparatus) according to the present invention. Further, in the fourth embodiment, only the configuration of the photoresist coating device 2 3 a and the operation control thereof are different from those of the first embodiment described above, and the other common configurations are omitted. Fig. 3 is a side view showing the photoresist coating apparatus of the fourth embodiment in a mode. As shown in Fig. 3, the roller 52 (first coating treatment means) and the moisturizing portion 504 are disposed on the left side of the table 50, and the roller 6 3 (second coating treatment means) is disposed on the table 5 The composition of the left side of 9. That is, the roller 63 is disposed between the land 52 and the land 63. Further, the moisturizing portion 54 may be disposed adjacent to the roller 63. Although not shown, the roller 5 2 and the moisturizing portion 5 4 may be disposed on the right side of the table top 50, and the roller 6 3 may be disposed on the right side of the table surface 59. In this case, the moisturizing portion can also be disposed adjacent to the roller 59. Furthermore, the roller 5 2 and the roller 63 are rotated in the same direction. According to this configuration, the substrate G 1 on the mesa 50 can be applied to the substrate G 1 after the undercoating treatment of the roller 5 2, and then applied to the mesa 59 after the coating treatment by the roller 63. In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the substrate G2 is applied to the substrate G2 and the substrate G1 and the substrate G2, respectively, -23-(20) 1260686. The technical problem of the third embodiment can be solved by performing the coating treatment before the coating treatment. However, in the first embodiment, the cost of the imprinting and the apparatus is increased more than that of the photoresist coating apparatus 23a shown in Fig. 4, but in the second embodiment, the photoresist coating shown in Fig. 9 can be obtained. The cloth production equipment has the same production capacity. In addition, in the first to fourth embodiments, the entire configuration of the photoresist coating development processing device of the coating film forming apparatus (photoresist coating apparatus) of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is provided ( The arrangement is an example and is not limited thereto. The overall configuration (arrangement) of the other aspects is shown in Fig. 14. Here, the arrangement of the photoresist coating development processing apparatus 1 〇 1 shown in Fig. 14 will be briefly described. In addition, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. Similarly to the photoresist coating development processing apparatus 1 0 1 of FIG. 1 , the photoresist coating development processing apparatus 1 具备 1 includes a wafer station 1 and a processing station 2 along the X-axis direction of the drawing. Interface station 3. The configuration of the photoresist coating development processing device ^1 0 1 , the photoresist coating development processing device of Fig. 1 can be clearly described.

The vertical transfer unit (S/A) has a transfer arm (not shown) for transporting the substrate G, and the transfer arm is movable in the X, Y, and Z axis directions, and is rotatable in the horizontal direction. The vertical transfer units (S / A ) 1 3, 1 5, 1 2, and 1 4 having the above configuration are disposed adjacent to each other in the first heat treatment unit section 26 and the second heat treatment unit section - 24 - (21) 1260686 27, respectively. 3 heat treatment unit section 28, even photoresist coating processing unit 23, further, the vertical transfer unit (S/A) 14 disposed adjacent to the photoresist coating processing unit 23 may be along the photoresist coating apparatus ( CT) 23a's long-side direction (X direction) greatly moves the unit itself. In other words, the substrate G placed on the mesa 50 and the mesa 59 of the photoresist coating device (CT) 23a can correspond to the transport unit. The processing procedure of the photoresist recording and developing apparatus 1 0 1 configured as above will be briefly described. First, the substrate G disposed in the wafer cassette C of the wafer defect station 1 is transported to the processing station 2 by the transfer device 1 and then subjected to scrubbing pre-treatment by an excimer UV irradiation unit (e-UV) 22.
