Further, the drive device 6 is connected to the first longitudinal side of the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B and the first driven shaft 10A and the second driven shaft 10B. A support 3a 3 and a second support 3b 3 of the urging portion 3B.

如第5圖所示般,驅動裝置6的磁性軸體7係包括:相反的磁極的S極和N極在圓周上交互地配置的磁性部7a、以及抵接於此磁性部7a的周面而設置的不銹鋼製的圓筒蓋7b。圓筒蓋7b係,保護磁性部7a的表面,較佳為由金屬等構成。又,第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B係被構成為,在直線方向移動時,對面於磁性軸體7的位置,S極和N極成連續。As shown in Fig. 5, the magnetic shaft body 7 of the drive unit 6 includes a magnetic portion 7a in which the S pole and the N pole of the opposite magnetic pole are alternately arranged on the circumference, and a circumferential surface abutting on the magnetic portion 7a. A stainless steel cylinder cover 7b is provided. The cylindrical cover 7b protects the surface of the magnetic portion 7a, and is preferably made of metal or the like. Further, the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B are configured such that when moving in the linear direction, the S pole and the N pole are continuous with respect to the position of the magnetic shaft body 7.

此驅動裝置6係,藉由從轉動裝置8被傳達的旋轉力,磁性軸體7轉動時,伴隨此磁性軸體7的轉動,第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B在相反的磁極中,暫時交互地受到S極和N極的影響。因此,第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B係,從靜止狀態在磁極排斥的直線方向移動。又,同時,第一從動軸10A和第二從動軸10B係在直線方向從動而移動。因此,預備位置決定機構2係,藉由驅動裝置6驅動押動裝置3,藉由第一抵接銷3a1 、3a1 和第二抵接銷3b1 、3b1 押動基板W的端面,可進行基板W的預備位置決定。The driving device 6 is configured such that when the magnetic shaft body 7 is rotated by the rotational force transmitted from the rotating device 8, the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B are accompanied by the rotation of the magnetic shaft body 7 The opposite poles are temporarily interacted with by the S and N poles. Therefore, the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B move in a linear direction in which the magnetic pole repels from a stationary state. At the same time, the first driven shaft 10A and the second driven shaft 10B move in a linear direction. Therefore, the preparatory position determining mechanism 2 drives the latching device 3 by the driving device 6, and the end faces of the substrate W are pushed by the first abutting pins 3a 1 and 3a 1 and the second abutting pins 3b 1 and 3b 1 . The preliminary position determination of the substrate W can be performed.

又,磁性軸體7、與第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B的配置關係為,異物不被夾持,且以保持相互的磁 力影響的間隔而對峙係所希望的。又也可為,經由傳達裝置被連結於作為轉動裝置8的馬達等的驅動軸,藉由作為轉動裝置8的馬達的旋轉,磁性軸體7旋轉的構成。Moreover, the arrangement relationship between the magnetic shaft body 7 and the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B is such that foreign matter is not clamped and magnetic waves are held to each other. The interval of force influence is desirable for the shackles. Further, the drive shaft that is connected to the motor or the like as the rotation device 8 via the transmission device may be configured to rotate the magnetic shaft body 7 by the rotation of the motor as the rotation device 8.

其次,參考第1圖和第6圖,有關曝光裝置A,主要以將基板W從搬入台30搬運至曝光台40的動作,說明基板W從被搬入到被搬出的動作。Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6, the exposure apparatus A mainly performs an operation of transporting the substrate W from the loading table 30 to the exposure stage 40, and explains an operation of the substrate W from being carried in and out.

如第1圖和第6(a)圖所示般,基板W從裝置外被搬入至搬入台30的話,基板W係,籍由搬運滾子31的旋轉而被傳送至所定位置而停止。As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 6(a), when the substrate W is carried out from the outside of the apparatus to the loading table 30, the substrate W is stopped by the rotation of the transport roller 31 to a predetermined position.

基板W移動至搬運滾子31的所定位置時,如第6(b)圖所示般,基板搬運裝置1藉由升降機構18下降至下方,直至第一抵接銷3a1 、3a1 和第二抵接銷3b1 、3b1 的前端抵接於基板W的端面的高度的位置。又,預備位置決定機構2係,藉由驅動裝置6的轉動裝置8,將磁性軸體7向一方向旋轉(例如,右旋轉),藉由將第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B往收納於導引部11的方向移動,第一抵接銷3a1 、3a1 和第二抵接銷3b1 、3b1 的前端押動基板W的端面而進行預備位置決定。When the substrate W is moved to a predetermined position of the transport roller 31, as shown in Fig. 6(b), the substrate transfer device 1 is lowered to the lower side by the elevating mechanism 18 until the first abutment pins 3a 1 , 3a 1 and The front ends of the two abutting pins 3b 1 and 3b 1 abut against the height of the end surface of the substrate W. Further, the preparatory position determining means 2 rotates the magnetic shaft body 7 in one direction (for example, right rotation) by the turning device 8 of the driving device 6, by the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second longitudinal length The magnetic body 9B moves in the direction in which the guide portion 11 is accommodated, and the distal ends of the first abutment pins 3a 1 and 3a 1 and the second abutment pins 3b 1 and 3b 1 press the end faces of the substrate W to determine the preparatory position.

又,進行預備位置決定時的吸著保持板13的高度位置係,被調整到接近基板W的上面藉由吸著墊13c吸引而可保持的位置的話,由於可將預備位置決定和吸著保持的兩作業可通過升降機構18一次的下降動作而完成,所以較好。當然,在進行預備位置決定的情形,和在進行基板W的吸著保持的情形,吸著保持板13的吸著墊13c中的下面 的高度位置不同般,進行升降機構18的兩階段的下降動作也可。Further, when the height position of the absorbing holding plate 13 at the time of determining the preliminary position is adjusted to a position close to the upper surface of the substrate W by suction by the absorbing pad 13c, the preliminary position determination and the absorbing hold can be maintained. The two jobs can be completed by the lowering action of the lifting mechanism 18, which is preferable. Of course, in the case where the preliminary position determination is performed, and in the case where the suction holding of the substrate W is performed, the lower side of the suction pad 13c of the holding plate 13 is sucked. The two-stage lowering operation of the elevating mechanism 18 may be performed in a different height position.

如第6(c)圖所示般,基板W的預備位置決定完成的話,藉由驅動裝置6的轉動裝置8,將磁性軸體7向另一方向旋轉(例如,左旋轉),藉由將第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B從導引部11突出的方向移動,將第一抵接銷3a1 、3a1 和第二抵接銷3b1 、3b1 從基板W的端面離開。與此同時,經由升降機構18,基板搬運裝置1係,使吸著保持板13下降,使其藉由吸著墊13c抵接或接近於基板W的狀態吸著保持該基板W。As shown in FIG. 6(c), when the preparatory position determination of the substrate W is completed, the magnetic shaft body 7 is rotated in the other direction (for example, left rotation) by the rotation device 8 of the drive device 6 by The first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B move in a direction in which the guiding portion 11 protrudes, and the first abutting pins 3a 1 and 3a 1 and the second abutting pins 3b 1 and 3b 1 are removed from the substrate W. The end face leaves. At the same time, the substrate transfer device 1 lowers the absorbing holding plate 13 via the elevating mechanism 18, and sucks and holds the substrate W in a state in which the absorbing pad 13c abuts or approaches the substrate W.

又,在基板搬運裝置1,在藉由第一抵接銷3a1 、3a1 和第二抵接銷3b1 、3b1 進行預備位置決定的情形,由於驅動裝置6的磁性軸體7、與第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B為非接觸,塵埃等的垃圾不會落下到基板W側。Further, in the board conveying device 1, when the preliminary position is determined by the first abutting pins 3a 1 and 3a 1 and the second abutting pins 3b 1 and 3b 1 , the magnetic shaft body 7 of the driving device 6 and The first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated magnetic body 9B are non-contact, and dust such as dust does not fall to the side of the substrate W.

基板搬運裝置1係,吸著保持基板W後,藉由升降機構18上升使基板W從搬入台30離開,沿著移動軌道21移動至曝光台40,將基板W搬運至曝光台40。又也可為,吸著保持基板W後,藉由驅動驅動部3a4 和驅動部3b4 ,將連接板3a5 和連接板3b5 移動至上方,使第一抵接銷3a1 、3a1 和第二抵接銷3b1 、3b1 的下端位於比吸著保持板13的吸著墊13c的下面上方。In the substrate transfer device 1 , after the substrate W is sucked and held, the substrate W is lifted by the elevating mechanism 18 to move away from the loading table 30 , and moved to the exposure table 40 along the moving rail 21 to transport the substrate W to the exposure table 40 . Alternatively, after the substrate W is sucked and held, the driving plate 3a 4 and the driving portion 3b 4 are driven to move the connecting plate 3a 5 and the connecting plate 3b 5 upward, so that the first abutting pins 3a 1 and 3a 1 The lower ends of the second abutting pins 3b 1 and 3b 1 are located above the lower surface of the absorbing pad 13c of the absorbing holding plate 13.

又,如第1圖所示般,在基板W被搬運的曝光台40,和光罩M的整合作業被進行,經由曝光光學系統50光被照射至基板W,曝光作業被進行。又,在曝光裝置A,曝光作 業完成的基板W係,藉由未圖示的搬運裝置,從曝光台40被搬運至搬出台60而被搬出至裝置外。Further, as shown in Fig. 1, the integration work of the exposure table 40 on which the substrate W is transported and the mask M is performed, and the light is irradiated to the substrate W via the exposure optical system 50, and the exposure operation is performed. Also, in the exposure device A, exposure is made The substrate W that has been completed is transported from the exposure stage 40 to the carry-out table 60 by a transport device (not shown) and carried out to the outside of the apparatus.

以上如說明般,基板搬運裝置1係,從基板W的上方進行預備位置決定,吸著保持預備位置決定完成的基板W,從搬入台30搬運至曝光台40。As described above, the substrate transfer apparatus 1 determines the preparation position from the upper side of the substrate W, and sucks and holds the substrate W whose preparation position is completed, and transports it from the loading table 30 to the exposure stage 40.

又,基板搬運裝置1係,藉由沿著基板W的搬運方向(假設為X方向),押動部3A、3B係直線地往復移動,進行基板W的預備位置決定為例子而說明,但也可為,藉由在與基板W的搬運方向正交的方向(假設為Y方向),將押動部3A、3B直線地往復移動而移動,進行基板W的預備位置決定的構成。In addition, the substrate transfer device 1 is described by taking the position of the substrate W in a straight line by reciprocatingly moving the pad portions 3A and 3B along the transport direction of the substrate W (assumed to be the X direction). The urging portions 3A and 3B are linearly reciprocated and moved in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction of the substrate W (assuming the Y direction), and the preliminary position of the substrate W is determined.

又,基板搬運裝置1係,從X方向和Y方向的兩方押動基板W的端面而進行預備位置決定的構成也可。在從X方向和Y方向押動基板W的端面方面,例如,使磁性軸體7在軸線方向增長,可藉由將X方向的驅動裝置6和Y方向的驅動裝置6配置在不同高度。當然,在X方向和Y方向分別設置磁性軸體7的構成也可。Further, the substrate transfer device 1 may be configured such that the end faces of the substrate W are pushed from both the X direction and the Y direction to determine the preliminary position. In terms of urging the end surface of the substrate W from the X direction and the Y direction, for example, the magnetic shaft body 7 is increased in the axial direction, and the driving device 6 in the X direction and the driving device 6 in the Y direction can be disposed at different heights. Of course, the configuration of the magnetic shaft body 7 may be provided in the X direction and the Y direction, respectively.

又,基板搬運裝置1係,改變處理的基板W的種類時,也有基板W的大小變化的情形,此時作為驅動裝置6的調整,藉由改變第一縱長磁性體9A和第二縱長磁性體9B的移動始點終點的位址,可容易地對應。Further, in the substrate transfer device 1, when the type of the processed substrate W is changed, the size of the substrate W may change. In this case, the first elongated magnetic body 9A and the second elongated length are changed as the adjustment of the drive device 6. The address of the end point of the movement start point of the magnetic body 9B can be easily matched.
