在構成液晶顯示器等的顯示面板的玻璃基板上,係形成有配線圖案及電極圖案等的微細的圖案。如此的圖案,係藉光刻法等的方法而形成。光刻法,係包含將抗蝕膜塗佈於玻璃基板的程序、將抗蝕膜曝光的程序、將曝光後的抗蝕膜顯影的程序、及對顯影後的抗蝕膜照射紫外線等的光的程序(固化程序)。 Fine patterns such as wiring patterns and electrode patterns are formed on the glass substrate constituting a display panel such as a liquid crystal display. Such a pattern is formed by a method such as photolithography. The photolithography method includes a procedure of applying a resist film on a glass substrate, a procedure of exposing the resist film, a procedure of developing the exposed resist film, and irradiating the developed resist film with light such as ultraviolet light Procedure (curing procedure).

上述的固化程序,係藉對基板照射紫外線的紫外線照射裝置而進行。例如,於專利文獻1,係已揭露具備使基板搬送於水平方向的帶式搬送機構、及使紫外線照射於基板的紫外線照射機構的構成。 The above curing process is performed by an ultraviolet irradiation device that irradiates the substrate with ultraviolet rays.

[專利文獻2]日本專利特開平2006-114848號公報 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-114848

然而,在專利文獻1方面,係在帶式搬送機構之上方設置設有紫外線照射機構等的上蓋,並在以上蓋所覆蓋的空間中邊將基板搬送於水平方向邊照射紫外線的構成,故搬送基板時,具有在空間內產生微細的塵埃等(以下稱作「顆粒」)之虞。 However, in Patent Document 1, an upper cover provided with an ultraviolet irradiation mechanism or the like is provided above the belt conveying mechanism, and the substrate is irradiated with ultraviolet rays while being transported in the horizontal direction in the space covered by the cover. In the case of a substrate, there is a risk of generating fine dust or the like (hereinafter referred to as "particles") in the space.

在專利文獻2方面,係在處理室內設置基板保持台及馬達,並以馬達使基板保持台上下移動或旋轉的構成,故具有在移動基板時在處理室內產生顆粒之虞。 In Patent Document 2, a substrate holding table and a motor are provided in the processing chamber, and the motor moves the substrate holding table up and down or rotates. Therefore, particles may be generated in the processing chamber when the substrate is moved.

在此等專利文獻1及2中,係具有在移動基板時產生顆粒之虞,故有時產生的顆粒會附著於基板上,在將基板保持清淨方面存在課題。 In these Patent Documents 1 and 2, there is a possibility that particles are generated when the substrate is moved. Therefore, the generated particles may adhere to the substrate, and there is a problem in keeping the substrate clean.

鑒於如以上的情事,本發明係目的在於提供可抑制收容部內的顆粒的產生,並可將基板保持清淨的紫外線照射裝置及紫外線照射方法。 In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide an ultraviolet irradiation device and an ultraviolet irradiation method that can suppress the generation of particles in the storage portion and can keep the substrate clean.

本發明的一態樣相關的紫外線照射裝置,係 包含:可將基板以密閉空間而收容的收容部;設於前述收容部的外部,並可對前述基板照射紫外線的照射部;以及設於前述收容部的外部,並以前述紫外線從前述收容部的外部照射在收容於前述收容部的內部的前述基板的方式而使前述照射部在前述收容部的外部移動的移動部。 The ultraviolet irradiation device related to one aspect of the present invention is Including: a storage portion that can house the substrate in a closed space; an irradiation portion that is provided outside the storage portion and can irradiate the substrate with ultraviolet rays; and an irradiation portion that is provided outside the storage portion and uses the ultraviolet light from the storage portion A moving portion that causes the outside of the housing to be irradiated on the substrate housed inside the housing portion and moves the irradiation portion outside the housing portion.

依此構成時,可在具有密閉空間的收容部的內部使基板靜止的狀態下,邊在收容部的外部使照射部移動邊對收容部的內部的基板照射紫外線,故無須考量伴隨基板的移動的顆粒的產生。此外,照射部的移動係在收容部的外部進行,故即使伴隨照射部的移動而產生顆粒,仍可藉使收容部為密閉空間,而迴避往收容部內的顆粒的侵入。因此,可抑制收容部內的顆粒的產生,可將基板保持清淨。 According to this structure, the substrate inside the storage section can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays while the irradiation section is moved outside the storage section while the substrate is stationary inside the storage section having a sealed space, so there is no need to consider accompanying the movement of the substrate The generation of particles. In addition, the movement of the irradiating part is performed outside the accommodating part, so even if particles are generated along with the movement of the irradiating part, the intrusion of the particles into the accommodating part can be avoided by making the accommodating part a closed space. Therefore, the generation of particles in the storage section can be suppressed, and the substrate can be kept clean.

此外,在使基板靜止的狀態下使照射部移動,使得即使採用俯視尺寸比照射部大的基板,仍與在使照射部靜止的狀態下使基板移動的情況比較下,可節省對基板照射紫外線時所需的空間,可縮小佔用面積。 In addition, moving the irradiating part while the substrate is stationary makes it possible to save the irradiation of ultraviolet rays on the substrate compared with the case where the substrate is moved when the irradiating part is stationary, even if a substrate larger in plan view than the irradiating part is used. The required space can reduce the occupied area.

此外,作成在收容部內使基板靜止的狀態,使得收容部內係確保基板的收容空間即可,故與在收容部內使基板移動的情況比較下,可縮小收容部的容積,使收容部內的氧濃度/露點的管理變容易。此外,可削減在收容部內的氧濃度時使用的氮的消耗量。 In addition, it is sufficient to keep the substrate in the storage section so that the storage space for the substrate is secured in the storage section. Therefore, compared with the case where the substrate is moved in the storage section, the volume of the storage section can be reduced and the oxygen concentration in the storage section can be reduced. / Dew point management becomes easy. In addition, it is possible to reduce the consumption of nitrogen used for the oxygen concentration in the storage section.

上述的紫外線照射裝置中,亦可在前述收容部係設有可使前述紫外線透射的透射部。 In the above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation device, the accommodating portion may be provided with a transmissive portion that can transmit the ultraviolet rays.

依此構成時,可在收容部的頂板設置透射部的簡單的構成下,經由透射部對基板照射紫外線。此外,在收容部的一部分設置透射部,使得與在整個收容部設置透射部的情況比較下,可提升透射部的保養性。 With this configuration, the substrate can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays through the transmissive portion under a simple configuration in which the transmissive portion is provided on the top plate of the housing portion. In addition, the provision of the transmissive portion in a part of the housing portion makes it possible to improve the maintainability of the transmissive portion as compared with the case where the transmissive portion is provided in the entire housing portion.

上述的紫外線照射裝置中,亦可前述收容部,係可將前述基板以密閉空間而收容且包含排列於前述照射部的移動方向的第一收容部及第二收容部,且前述導引部,係包含以夾著前述第一收容部的方式而延伸的第一導軌、及以在前述第一導軌排列於前述照射部的移動方向並夾著前述第二收容部的方式而延伸的第二導軌。 In the above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation device, the accommodating portion may include the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion arranged in the moving direction of the irradiation portion, and the guide portion may accommodate the substrate in a closed space. It includes a first rail extending so as to sandwich the first accommodating portion, and a second rail extending so as to sandwich the second accommodating portion in the moving direction of the first rail arranged in the direction of the irradiation portion .

依此構成時,可沿著第一導軌及第二導軌使照射部移 動,故可連續進行往第一收容部內的基板的紫外線照射、及往第二收容部內的基板的紫外線照射。 With this configuration, the irradiation section can be moved along the first rail and the second rail Therefore, the ultraviolet irradiation to the substrate in the first storage section and the ultraviolet irradiation to the substrate in the second storage section can be continuously performed.

此外,包含第一收容部及第二收容部,故可同時處理兩個基板。 In addition, since the first storage portion and the second storage portion are included, two substrates can be processed simultaneously.

此外,可在具有密閉空間的第一收容部內及第二收容部內使基板靜止的狀態下,邊在第一收容部外及第二收容部外使照射部移動邊對第一收容部內及第二收容部內的基板照射紫外線,故可抑制第一收容部內及第二收容部內的顆粒的產生,可將基板保持清淨。 In addition, in a state where the substrate is stationary in the first storage section and the second storage section having the sealed space, the irradiation section can be moved to the first storage section and the second storage section while moving the irradiation section outside the first storage section and the second storage section. Since the substrate in the storage section is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the generation of particles in the first storage section and the second storage section can be suppressed, and the substrate can be kept clean.

此外,在具備第一收容部及第二收容部的構成中,可達成佔用面積的縮小化、各收容部內的氧濃度/露點的管理的容易化,同時削減在調整各收容部內的氧濃度時使用的氮的消耗量。 In addition, in the configuration including the first storage portion and the second storage portion, it is possible to reduce the occupied area, to facilitate the management of the oxygen concentration/dew point in each storage portion, and to reduce the adjustment of the oxygen concentration in each storage portion Consumption of nitrogen used.

上述的紫外線照射裝置中,亦可在前述照射部的移動方向上的前述第一導軌與前述第二導軌之間,係可裝卸地設有輔助前述門型框的移動的導引輔助部。 In the above ultraviolet irradiation device, a guide assisting portion that assists the movement of the door frame may be detachably provided between the first guide rail and the second guide rail in the moving direction of the irradiation section.

依此構成時,可藉將導引輔助部進行裝卸,從而切換僅沿著第一導軌或第二導軌中的其中一者的門型框的移動、及連續沿著第一導軌及第二導軌的門型框的移動。例如,可藉使導引輔助部脫離,從而切換成僅沿著第一導軌或第二導軌中的其中一者的門型框的移動。另一方面,可藉將導引輔助部連接,從而切換成連續沿著第一導軌及第二導軌的門型框的移動。 With this configuration, the guide auxiliary part can be attached and detached to switch the movement of the door frame along only one of the first guide rail or the second guide rail, and continuously along the first guide rail and the second guide rail The movement of the door frame. For example, the guide auxiliary portion may be disengaged to switch to the movement of the door frame along only one of the first rail or the second rail. On the other hand, it is possible to switch to continuous movement of the door frame along the first rail and the second rail by connecting the guide auxiliary part.

上述的紫外線照射裝置中,亦可在前述收容 部的外部,係設有可冷卻前述照射部的冷卻部。 The above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation device may be A cooling unit capable of cooling the irradiation unit is provided outside the unit.

依此構成時,可冷卻照射部,故即使在將紫外線連續照射於基板時等連續驅動照射部的情況下,仍可抑制照射部過熱。 With this configuration, the irradiation section can be cooled, so that even when the irradiation section is continuously driven when ultraviolet rays are continuously irradiated on the substrate, the irradiation section can be suppressed from overheating.

依此構成時,可將照射部及冷卻部一起總括而予以移動,故與使照射部及冷卻部個別獨立移動的情況比較下,可達成裝置構成的精簡化。 According to this configuration, the irradiation unit and the cooling unit can be moved together in a collective manner. Therefore, compared with the case where the irradiation unit and the cooling unit are independently moved, the simplification of the device configuration can be achieved.

上述的紫外線照射裝置中,亦可在前述收容部,係設有可調整前述收容部的內部環境的氧濃度的氧濃度調整部。 In the above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation device, an oxygen concentration adjustment section that can adjust the oxygen concentration of the internal environment of the accommodation section may be provided in the accommodation section.

依此方法時,可在具有密閉空間的收容部的內部使基板靜止的狀態下,邊在收容部的外部使照射部移動邊對收容部的內部的基板照射紫外線,故無須考量伴隨基板的移動的顆粒的產生。此外,照射部的移動係在收容部的外部進行,故即使伴隨照射部的移動而產生顆粒,仍可藉使收容部為密閉空間,而迴避往收容部內的顆粒的侵入。因此,可抑制收容部內的顆粒的產生,可將基板保持清淨。 According to this method, the substrate inside the housing section can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays while the irradiation section is moved outside the housing section while the substrate is stationary inside the housing section having a sealed space, so there is no need to consider accompanying the movement of the substrate The generation of particles. In addition, the movement of the irradiating part is performed outside the accommodating part, so even if particles are generated along with the movement of the irradiating part, the intrusion of the particles into the accommodating part can be avoided by making the accommodating part a closed space. Therefore, the generation of particles in the storage section can be suppressed, and the substrate can be kept clean.

此外,在使基板靜止的狀態下使照射部移動,使得即使採用俯視尺寸比照射部大的基板,仍與在使照射部靜止的狀態下使基板移動的情況比較下,可節省對基板照射紫外線時所需的空間,可縮小佔用面積。 In addition, moving the irradiating part while the substrate is stationary makes it possible to save the irradiation of ultraviolet rays on the substrate compared with the case where the substrate is moved when the irradiating part is stationary, even if a substrate larger in plan view than the irradiating part is used. The required space can reduce the occupied area.

此外,作成在收容部內使基板靜止的狀態,使得收容部內係確保基板的收容空間即可,故與在收容部內使基板移動的情況比較下,可縮小收容部的容積,使收容部內的氧濃度/露點的管理變容易。此外,可削減在調整收容部內的氧濃度時使用的氮的消耗量。 In addition, it is sufficient to keep the substrate in the storage section so that the storage space for the substrate is secured in the storage section. Therefore, compared with the case where the substrate is moved in the storage section, the volume of the storage section can be reduced and the oxygen concentration in the storage section can be reduced. / Dew point management becomes easy. In addition, the consumption of nitrogen used when adjusting the oxygen concentration in the storage unit can be reduced.

依此方法時,可在採用透射部的簡單的構成下,經由透射部對基板照射紫外線。 According to this method, the substrate can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays through the transmissive part with a simple configuration using the transmissive part.

上述的紫外線照射方法中,亦可前述移動步驟,係在以夾著前述收容部的方式而延伸於前述照射部的移動方向的導引部的一端與另一端之間使前述照射部往返移動。 In the above ultraviolet irradiation method, the moving step may be to reciprocate the irradiating part between one end and the other end of the guide part extending in the moving direction of the irradiating part so as to sandwich the accommodating part.

依此方法時,與在導引部的一端與另一端之間使照射部僅移動於一方向的情況比較下,即使為將紫外線對基板反復照射時,仍可平滑地效率佳地照射。此外,設置一個照射部即足夠,故可達成裝置構成的精簡化。 According to this method, compared with the case where the irradiation part is moved in only one direction between one end and the other end of the guide part, even when the substrate is repeatedly irradiated with ultraviolet rays, it can be irradiated smoothly and efficiently. In addition, it is sufficient to provide one irradiating part, so that the simplification of the device configuration can be achieved.

上述的紫外線照射方法中,亦可在前述收容部的外部,係設有可冷卻前述照射部的冷卻部,而前述移動步驟,係與前述照射部一起使前述冷卻部在前述收容部的外部移動。 In the above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation method, a cooling part capable of cooling the irradiation part may be provided outside the accommodation part, and the moving step may move the cooling part outside the accommodation part together with the irradiation part .

依此方法時,可將照射部及冷卻部一起總括而予以移動,故與使照射部及冷卻部個別獨立移動的情況比較下,可達成裝置構成的精簡化。 According to this method, the irradiating part and the cooling part can be moved collectively, so compared with the case where the irradiating part and the cooling part are moved independently, a simplified structure of the device can be achieved.

上述的紫外線照射方法中,亦可包含調整前述收容部的內部環境的氧濃度的氧濃度調整步驟。 The above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation method may further include an oxygen concentration adjustment step of adjusting the oxygen concentration of the internal environment of the housing section.

依此方法時,可將收容部的內部環境的氧濃度調整為既定的濃度,故可在既定的氧濃度的條件下將紫外線照射於基板。 According to this method, the oxygen concentration in the internal environment of the housing portion can be adjusted to a predetermined concentration, so that the substrate can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays under the condition of the predetermined oxygen concentration.

上述的紫外線照射方法中,亦可包含調整前述收容部的內部環境的露點的露點調整步驟。 The above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation method may further include a dew point adjustment step of adjusting the dew point of the internal environment of the housing section.

依此方法時,可將收容部的內部環境的露點調整為既定的露點,故可在既定的露點的條件下將紫外線照射於基板。 According to this method, the dew point of the internal environment of the accommodating portion can be adjusted to a predetermined dew point, so that the substrate can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays under the condition of the predetermined dew point.

<紫外線照射裝置> <ultraviolet irradiation device>

如示於圖1~圖3,紫外線照射裝置1,係對基板10進行紫外線的照射的裝置。紫外線照射裝置1,係具備腔室2(收容部)、台3、照射單元4、搬送機構5(移動部)、冷卻部6、氣體供應部7及控制部8。控制部8, 係將紫外線照射裝置1的構成要素總括控制。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the ultraviolet irradiation device 1 is a device that irradiates the substrate 10 with ultraviolet rays. The ultraviolet irradiation device 1 includes a chamber 2 (accommodating part), a stage 3, an irradiation unit 4, a transport mechanism 5 (moving part), a cooling part 6, a gas supply part 7, and a control part 8. Control Department 8, The components of the ultraviolet irradiation device 1 are collectively controlled.

<腔室> <chamber>

腔室2,係收容要進行紫外線的照射處理的基板10。腔室2,係形成為俯視下形成矩形的箱狀。具體而言,腔室2,係由覆蓋基板10之上方的矩形板狀的頂板20、以包圍基板10之側方的方式而覆蓋的矩形框狀的周壁21、覆蓋基板10的下方的底板22而形成。在周壁21的-Y方向側,係設有供於相對於腔室2進行基板10的搬入及搬出用的基板搬出入口21a。 The chamber 2 houses the substrate 10 to be irradiated with ultraviolet rays. The chamber 2 is formed into a rectangular box shape in plan view. Specifically, the chamber 2 is composed of a rectangular plate-shaped top plate 20 that covers the upper side of the substrate 10, a rectangular frame-shaped peripheral wall 21 that covers the side of the substrate 10, and a bottom plate 22 that covers the lower side of the substrate 10 While forming. On the side of the peripheral wall 21 in the -Y direction, a substrate carrying-in/out port 21 a for carrying in and carrying out the substrate 10 with respect to the chamber 2 is provided.

例如,頂板20、周壁21及底板22,係由遮蔽紫外線的遮光構材而形成。藉此,對腔室2的內部的基板10照射紫外線時,可迴避紫外線漏至腔室2的外部。 For example, the top plate 20, the peripheral wall 21, and the bottom plate 22 are formed of a light-shielding member that shields ultraviolet rays. As a result, when the substrate 10 inside the chamber 2 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the ultraviolet rays can be prevented from leaking to the outside of the chamber 2.

腔室2,係構成為可將基板10以密閉空間進行收容。例如,將頂板20、周壁21及底板22的各連接部以焊接等而無間隙地結合,使得可提升腔室2內的氣密性。例如,於腔室2,係設有泵浦機構等的減壓機構(未圖示)。藉此,可在使腔室2內減壓的狀態下收容基板10。 The chamber 2 is configured to accommodate the substrate 10 in a closed space. For example, the connection portions of the top plate 20, the peripheral wall 21, and the bottom plate 22 are welded or the like without gaps, so that the airtightness in the chamber 2 can be improved. For example, the chamber 2 is provided with a decompression mechanism (not shown) such as a pump mechanism. With this, the substrate 10 can be housed in a state where the pressure in the chamber 2 is reduced.

如示於圖3,於腔室2內,係設有將基板10加熱的加熱機構11。加熱機構11,係具有與基板10大致相同的俯視尺寸的矩形板狀,配置成從下方支撐基板10。加熱機構11,係安裝於台3。加熱機構11,係包含加熱器等(未圖示)。 As shown in FIG. 3, in the chamber 2, a heating mechanism 11 for heating the substrate 10 is provided. The heating mechanism 11 has a rectangular plate shape having a plan view size substantially the same as that of the substrate 10, and is arranged to support the substrate 10 from below. The heating mechanism 11 is installed on the table 3. The heating mechanism 11 includes a heater and the like (not shown).

<透射部> <transmission section>

如示於圖2,在腔室2的頂板20,係設有可使紫外線通過的透射部23。透射部23,係構成頂板20的一部分。透射部23,係形成為俯視下比頂板20小的矩形板狀。透射部23,係安裝於將頂板20開口於厚度方向的矩形的開口部20h。例如,透射部23,係運用石英、耐熱玻璃、樹脂片、樹脂膜等。 As shown in FIG. 2, the top plate 20 of the chamber 2 is provided with a transmission part 23 that can pass ultraviolet rays. The transmission part 23 constitutes a part of the top plate 20. The transmission part 23 is formed in a rectangular plate shape smaller than the top plate 20 in plan view. The transmissive portion 23 is attached to a rectangular opening 20h that opens the top plate 20 in the thickness direction. For example, the transmission part 23 uses quartz, heat-resistant glass, resin sheet, resin film, and the like.

透射部23的尺寸,係設定為比基板10大的尺寸。藉此,對基板10照射紫外線時,可迴避紫外線為頂板20的遮光部(透射部23以外的部分)所遮蔽,故可將紫外線均勻照射於基板10的整個上表面。 The size of the transmission part 23 is set to be larger than the size of the substrate 10. As a result, when the substrate 10 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the ultraviolet rays can be avoided by the light shielding portion of the top plate 20 (parts other than the transmissive portion 23 ), so that the entire upper surface of the substrate 10 can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays uniformly.

另外,開口部20h的尺寸,係亦可設定為可使基板10出入的尺寸。此外,透射部23,係亦可裝卸自如地嵌入於開口部20h。藉此,將透射部23嵌入於開口部20h時係可使腔室2內為密閉空間,使透射部23從開口部20h脫離時係可使基板10出入於腔室2內。 In addition, the size of the opening 20h may be set to a size that allows the substrate 10 to enter and exit. In addition, the transmissive portion 23 may be detachably fitted in the opening 20h. Thereby, when the transmissive portion 23 is inserted into the opening 20h, the inside of the chamber 2 can be a sealed space, and when the transmissive portion 23 is detached from the opening 20h, the substrate 10 can be inserted into and out of the chamber 2.

壁部34,係設於柱部33之間隙(各角柱之間),並覆蓋腔室2、照射單元4及搬送機構5的周圍及上方。 The wall portion 34 is provided in the gap between the pillar portions 33 (between the corner pillars) and covers around and above the chamber 2, the irradiation unit 4 and the transport mechanism 5.

例如,壁部34,係由透明的板材而形成。藉此,可從框體32的外部視認框體32內的構成要素。 For example, the wall portion 34 is formed of a transparent plate material. With this, the constituent elements in the casing 32 can be viewed from the outside of the casing 32.

<升降機構> <lifting mechanism>

如示於圖3,在腔室2的下方,係設有可使基板10移動於Z方向的升降機構25。在升降機構25,係設有複數個升降銷25a。複數個升降銷25a的前端(+Z側的端),係配置在平行於XY平面的相同面內。 As shown in FIG. 3, below the chamber 2, a lifting mechanism 25 that can move the substrate 10 in the Z direction is provided. The lifting mechanism 25 is provided with a plurality of lifting pins 25a. The front ends (ends on the +Z side) of the plural lift pins 25a are arranged in the same plane parallel to the XY plane.

複數個升降銷25a的前端,係作成可插穿台3、底板22及加熱機構11。 The front ends of the plurality of lifting pins 25a are made to be inserted through the table 3, the bottom plate 22, and the heating mechanism 11.

具體而言,在台3,係形成將台3開口於厚度方向的複數個插穿孔3a。在底板22,係在俯視下重疊於各插穿孔3a的位置形成有將底板22開口於厚度方向的複數個插穿孔22a。在加熱機構11,係在俯視下重疊於各插穿孔22a的位置形成有將加熱機構11開口於厚度方向的複數 個插穿孔11a。複數個升降銷25a的前端,係作成可經由各插穿孔3a、22a、11a相對於基板10的下表面而抵接/背離。為此,成為藉複數個升降銷25a的前端,而平行於XY平面地支撐基板10。 Specifically, in the table 3, a plurality of insertion holes 3a opening the table 3 in the thickness direction are formed. In the bottom plate 22, a plurality of insertion holes 22a that open the bottom plate 22 in the thickness direction are formed at positions overlapping the insertion holes 3a in a plan view. In the heating mechanism 11, a plurality of openings in the thickness direction are formed at positions overlapping the insertion holes 22a in a plan view One insertion hole 11a. The front ends of the plurality of lifting pins 25a are made so as to be able to abut on/off from the lower surface of the substrate 10 through the insertion holes 3a, 22a, and 11a. For this reason, the front end of the plurality of lift pins 25a is supported to support the substrate 10 parallel to the XY plane.

升降機構25,係成為邊支撐收容於腔室2內的基板10邊移動於腔室2內的Z方向。於圖3,係示出複數個升降銷25a的前端經由各插穿孔3a、22a、11a而抵接於基板10的下表面並上升,從而使基板10從加熱機構11背離的狀態。 The elevating mechanism 25 is configured to move in the Z direction while supporting the substrate 10 housed in the chamber 2. In FIG. 3, the front ends of the plurality of lift pins 25 a are in contact with the lower surface of the substrate 10 via the insertion holes 3 a, 22 a, and 11 a to rise, so that the substrate 10 is separated from the heating mechanism 11.

另外,於升降機構25,使複數個升降銷25a升降的驅動源25b,係配置於腔室2的外部。為此,即使隨著驅動源25b的驅動產生顆粒,仍可將腔室2作成密閉空間,使得可迴避往腔室2內的顆粒的侵入。 In addition, in the elevating mechanism 25, the driving source 25 b that elevates the plurality of elevating pins 25 a is arranged outside the chamber 2. For this reason, even if particles are generated as the driving source 25b is driven, the chamber 2 can be made a closed space, so that the intrusion of particles into the chamber 2 can be avoided.

<照射單元> <irradiation unit>

照射單元4,係設於腔室2的外部。照射單元4,係具備照射部40及聚光構材41。 The irradiation unit 4 is provided outside the chamber 2. The irradiation unit 4 includes an irradiation unit 40 and a light-condensing member 41.

照射部40,係構成為可將i射線等的紫外線照射於基板10。 The irradiation unit 40 is configured to irradiate ultraviolet rays such as i-rays to the substrate 10.

於此,「紫外線」,係表示波長範圍的下限為1nm程度、上限為可見光線的短波長端的光。 Here, "ultraviolet" means light having a lower limit of the wavelength range of about 1 nm and an upper limit of the short-wavelength end of visible light.

例如,照射部40,係使用金屬鹵素燈。 For example, the irradiation unit 40 uses a metal halogen lamp.

另外,照射部40,係不限於此,亦可使用高壓水銀燈、LED燈。此外,照射部40,係亦可將此等燈組合複 數個。 In addition, the irradiation unit 40 is not limited to this, and a high-pressure mercury lamp or an LED lamp may be used. In addition, the irradiation unit 40 can also combine these lamps Several.

例如,在照射部40的下表面,係亦可設有將波長比300nm低的成分去除的過濾器。藉此,經由過濾器而射出的紫外線的波長係成為300nm以上,故可藉紫外線的照射而抑制基板10的過度的溫度上升。 For example, a filter may be provided on the lower surface of the irradiation unit 40 to remove components having a wavelength lower than 300 nm. Thereby, the wavelength of the ultraviolet rays emitted through the filter is 300 nm or more, so that excessive temperature rise of the substrate 10 can be suppressed by the irradiation of ultraviolet rays.

聚光構材41,係將從照射部40所射出的紫外線聚光於基板10上。使紫外線聚光於基板10上,使得可抑制從照射部40所射出的紫外線擴散至基板10的外部,故可提升照度。 The condensing member 41 condenses the ultraviolet rays emitted from the irradiation unit 40 on the substrate 10. By condensing ultraviolet rays on the substrate 10, it is possible to suppress the ultraviolet rays emitted from the irradiation unit 40 from diffusing to the outside of the substrate 10, so that the illuminance can be improved.

導引部50,係具備一對的導軌51、及滑件52。例如,導引部50,係可運用線性馬達致動器。 The guide portion 50 includes a pair of guide rails 51 and sliders 52. For example, the guide 50 can use a linear motor actuator.

一對的導軌51,係以將腔室2從-Y方向側及+Y方向側夾住的方式而延伸於是照射單元4的移動方向(照射部40的移動方向)的X方向。 The pair of guide rails 51 extend in the X direction that is the movement direction of the irradiation unit 4 (the movement direction of the irradiation unit 40) so as to sandwich the chamber 2 from the -Y direction side and the +Y direction side.

滑件52,係構成為可沿著一對的導軌51而滑動。 The slider 52 is configured to slide along a pair of guide rails 51.

The door frame 54 includes a pair of door post portions 54a extending in the Z direction, and a connecting portion 54b extending in the Y direction so as to connect the pair of door post portions 54a. A slider 52 is attached to the lower end of each door post portion 54a of the door frame 54.

如示於圖3,在門型框54的連結部54b的內部,係設有保持照射單元4的保持部54c。保持部54c,係形成從門型框54的Y方向中間部的下表面朝向上方凹入的凹部。照射單元4之中照射面4a(下表面)以外的部分,係為保持部54c的凹部所包圍,由門型框54的壁部而覆蓋。例如,門型框54,係由遮蔽紫外線的遮光構材而形成。藉此,從照射單元4照射紫外線時,可迴避紫外線擴散至門型框54之側方,可將紫外線朝向下方(腔室2內的基板10)照射。 As shown in FIG. 3, inside the connecting portion 54 b of the door frame 54, a holding portion 54 c holding the irradiation unit 4 is provided. The holding portion 54c forms a recessed portion that is recessed upward from the lower surface of the middle portion of the door frame 54 in the Y direction. The portion of the irradiation unit 4 other than the irradiation surface 4a (lower surface) is surrounded by the concave portion of the holding portion 54c and is covered by the wall portion of the door frame 54. For example, the door frame 54 is formed of a light-shielding member that shields ultraviolet rays. As a result, when ultraviolet rays are irradiated from the irradiation unit 4, the ultraviolet rays can be prevented from diffusing to the side of the door frame 54 and the ultraviolet rays can be irradiated downward (the substrate 10 in the chamber 2 ).

如示於圖2,在X方向,各導軌51的長度L1,係比腔室2的長度L2長(L1>L2)。在本實施形態,係在X方向,各導軌51的長度L1,係作成比將腔室2的長度L2、及二個門型框54的長度(2×L3)相加的長度(L2+2×L3)長。藉此,俯視下,可使照射單元4從超過腔室2的-X方向端的區域移動直到超過腔室2的+X方向端的區域為止。 As shown in FIG. 2, in the X direction, the length L1 of each guide rail 51 is longer than the length L2 of the chamber 2 (L1>L2). In this embodiment, in the X direction, the length L1 of each guide rail 51 is made to be a length (L2+2) that is the sum of the length L2 of the chamber 2 and the length (2×L3) of the two door frames 54 ×L3) Long. Thereby, in a plan view, the irradiation unit 4 can be moved from the area exceeding the −X direction end of the chamber 2 to the area exceeding the +X direction end of the chamber 2.

<冷卻部> <Cooling Department>

如示於圖1及圖2,在腔室2的外部,係設有可將照射單元4冷卻的冷卻部6。冷卻部6,係安裝於門型框54的+Y方向側之側壁部(門柱部54a)。例如,冷卻部6,係使用鼓風機。藉此,可將因照射單元4而產生的熱氣排出至外部。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, outside the chamber 2, a cooling unit 6 that can cool the irradiation unit 4 is provided. The cooling portion 6 is attached to the side wall portion (gate post portion 54a) on the +Y direction side of the door frame 54. For example, the cooling unit 6 uses a blower. Thereby, the hot gas generated by the irradiation unit 4 can be discharged to the outside.

搬送機構5,係與照射單元4一起使冷卻部6在腔室2的外部移動。 The transport mechanism 5 moves the cooling unit 6 outside the chamber 2 together with the irradiation unit 4.

<氣體供應部> <Gas Supply Department>

於腔室2,係設有可調整腔室2的內部環境的狀態的氣體供應部7。氣體供應部7,係在乾燥氣體方面供應氮(N2)、氦(He)、氬(Ar)等的惰性氣體。 The chamber 2 is provided with a gas supply part 7 that can adjust the state of the internal environment of the chamber 2. The gas supply unit 7 supplies an inert gas such as nitrogen (N 2 ), helium (He), and argon (Ar) in terms of dry gas.

於此,氣體供應部,係相當於記載於請求項的「氧濃度調整部」及「露點調整部」。 Here, the gas supply unit corresponds to the "oxygen concentration adjustment unit" and "dew point adjustment unit" described in the request.

可藉氣體供應部7,而調整腔室2的內部環境的露點,並可調整腔室2內的水分濃度。 The dew point of the internal environment of the chamber 2 can be adjusted by the gas supply part 7 and the moisture concentration in the chamber 2 can be adjusted.

例如,氣體供應部7,係以使腔室2的內部環境的露點成為-80℃(水分濃度0.54ppm質量基準)以上且-5℃(水分濃度4000ppm質量基準)以下的方式而調整乾燥氣體的供應。 For example, the gas supply unit 7 adjusts the dry gas so that the dew point of the internal environment of the chamber 2 becomes -80°C (moisture concentration 0.54 ppm mass basis) or more and -5°C (moisture concentration 4000 ppm mass basis) or less supply.

例如,在使抗蝕膜的曝光後的預圖案(pre-pattern)固化時的環境中,如此使露點成為優選的上限以下,使得可使圖案的固化容易進行。另一方面,設成優選的下限以 上,使得可將在運用裝置上的作業性等提升。 For example, in an environment where the pre-pattern after exposure of the resist film is cured, the dew point is made such that the dew point is preferably not more than the upper limit, so that the pattern can be easily cured. On the other hand, set the preferred lower limit to This makes it possible to improve the workability of the operating device.

此外,亦可藉氣體供應部7,而調整腔室2的內部環境的氧濃度。腔室2的內部環境的氧濃度(質量基準),係越低越優選。具體而言,使腔室2的內部環境的氧濃度優選上為1000ppm以下,較優選上為500ppm以下。 In addition, the oxygen concentration of the internal environment of the chamber 2 may be adjusted by the gas supply part 7. The oxygen concentration (mass standard) of the internal environment of the chamber 2 is preferably as low as possible. Specifically, the oxygen concentration in the internal environment of the chamber 2 is preferably 1000 ppm or less, and more preferably 500 ppm or less.

例如,在使抗蝕膜的曝光後的預圖案(pre-pattern)固化時的環境中,如此使氧濃度成為優選的上限以下,使得可使圖案的固化容易進行。 For example, in the environment when the pre-pattern after exposure of the resist film is cured, the oxygen concentration is set to the preferable upper limit or less in this manner, so that the curing of the pattern can be easily performed.

<紫外線照射方法> <Ultraviolet irradiation method>

接著,說明本實施形態相關的紫外線照射方法。在本實施形態,係利用上述的紫外線照射裝置1而對基板10照射紫外線。在紫外線照射裝置1的各部分進行的動作,係藉控制部8而控制。 Next, the ultraviolet irradiation method according to this embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, the substrate 10 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays using the above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation device 1. The operation performed by each part of the ultraviolet irradiation device 1 is controlled by the control unit 8.

本實施形態相關的紫外線照射方法,係包含收容步驟、照射步驟及移動步驟。 The ultraviolet irradiation method according to this embodiment includes a storage step, an irradiation step, and a moving step.

在收容步驟中,腔室2,係以密閉空間收容基板10。例如,經由基板搬出入口21a將基板10搬送至腔室2內後,將基板搬出入口21a閉塞而將腔室2密閉。 In the housing step, the chamber 2 houses the substrate 10 in a closed space. For example, after the substrate 10 is transferred into the chamber 2 via the substrate transfer port 21a, the substrate transfer port 21a is closed to seal the chamber 2.

在照射步驟中,照射單元4,係對基板10照射紫外線。 In the irradiation step, the irradiation unit 4 irradiates the substrate 10 with ultraviolet rays.

在移動步驟中,搬送機構5,係以紫外線從腔室2的外部照射在收容於腔室2的內部的基板10的方式而使照 射單元4在腔室2的外部移動。 In the moving step, the transport mechanism 5 irradiates the substrate 10 housed in the chamber 2 with ultraviolet rays from outside the chamber 2 The shooting unit 4 moves outside the chamber 2.

在移動步驟中,以紫外線經由透射部23而照射於腔室2的內部的基板10的方式而使照射單元4在腔室2的外部移動。如上述,在門型框54的+Y方向側之側壁部係安裝冷卻部6,故在移動步驟中,與照射單元4一起使冷卻部6在腔室2的外部移動。 In the moving step, the irradiation unit 4 is moved outside the chamber 2 so that the ultraviolet ray is irradiated to the substrate 10 inside the chamber 2 through the transmission portion 23. As described above, since the cooling portion 6 is attached to the side wall portion of the door frame 54 on the +Y direction side, the cooling portion 6 is moved outside the chamber 2 together with the irradiation unit 4 in the moving step.

在移動步驟中,在一對的導軌51的-X方向端(一端)與+X方向端(另一端)之間使照射單元4往返移動。例如,在圖3的俯視下,使照射單元4從超過腔室2的-X方向端的區域直到超過腔室2的+X方向端的區域為止往返移動。 In the moving step, the irradiation unit 4 is moved back and forth between the -X direction end (one end) and the +X direction end (the other end) of the pair of guide rails 51. For example, in the plan view of FIG. 3, the irradiation unit 4 is moved back and forth from the area exceeding the −X direction end of the chamber 2 to the area exceeding the +X direction end of the chamber 2.

另外,本實施形態相關的紫外線照射方法,係包含氣體供應步驟。 In addition, the ultraviolet irradiation method according to this embodiment includes a gas supply step.

於此,氣體供應步驟,係相當於記載於請求項的「氧濃度調整步驟」及「露點調整步驟」。 Here, the gas supply step corresponds to the "oxygen concentration adjustment step" and "dew point adjustment step" described in the request item.

在氣體供應步驟中,氣體供應部7,係調整腔室2的內部環境的露點。此外,在氣體供應步驟中,氣體供應部7,係調整腔室2的內部環境的氧濃度。 In the gas supply step, the gas supply part 7 adjusts the dew point of the internal environment of the chamber 2. In addition, in the gas supply step, the gas supply part 7 adjusts the oxygen concentration in the internal environment of the chamber 2.

如以上,依本實施形態時,可在具有密閉空間的腔室2的內部使基板10靜止的狀態下,在腔室2的外部邊使照射單元4移動邊對腔室2的內部的基板10照射紫外線,故無須考量伴隨基板10的移動的顆粒的產生。此外,照射單元4的移動係在腔室2的外部進行,故即使伴隨照射單元4的移動而產生顆粒,仍可將腔室2作 成密閉空間,使得可迴避往腔室2內的顆粒的侵入。因此,可抑制腔室2內的顆粒的產生,可將基板10保持為清淨。 As described above, according to this embodiment, the substrate 10 inside the chamber 2 can be moved to the outside of the chamber 2 while moving the irradiation unit 4 while the substrate 10 is still inside the chamber 2 having a closed space. Since ultraviolet rays are irradiated, there is no need to consider the generation of particles accompanying the movement of the substrate 10. In addition, the movement of the irradiation unit 4 is performed outside the chamber 2, so even if particles are generated along with the movement of the irradiation unit 4, the chamber 2 can still be used A closed space is formed so that the intrusion of particles into the chamber 2 can be avoided. Therefore, the generation of particles in the chamber 2 can be suppressed, and the substrate 10 can be kept clean.

此外,在使基板10靜止的狀態下使照射單元4移動,使得即使採用俯視尺寸比照射單元4大的基板10,仍與在使照射單元4靜止的狀態下使基板10移動的情況比較下,可節省對基板10照射紫外線時所需的空間,可縮小佔用面積。 In addition, the irradiation unit 4 is moved in a state where the substrate 10 is stationary, so that even if the substrate 10 having a larger plan view size than the irradiation unit 4 is used, compared with the case where the substrate 10 is moved in a state where the irradiation unit 4 is stationary, The space required when irradiating the substrate 10 with ultraviolet rays can be saved, and the occupied area can be reduced.

此外,作成在腔室2內使基板10靜止的狀態,使得腔室2內係僅確保基板10的收容空間即可,故與在腔室2內使基板10移動的情況比較下,可縮小腔室2的容積,使腔室2內的氧濃度/露點的管理變容易。此外,可削減在調整腔室2內的氧濃度時使用的氮的消耗量。 In addition, the state in which the substrate 10 is stationary in the chamber 2 is made so that only the accommodation space for the substrate 10 is secured in the chamber 2, so the cavity can be reduced compared to the case where the substrate 10 is moved in the chamber 2 The volume of the chamber 2 makes it easy to manage the oxygen concentration/dew point in the chamber 2. In addition, the consumption of nitrogen used when adjusting the oxygen concentration in the chamber 2 can be reduced.

此外,於腔室2,係設有可使紫外線透射的透射部23,使得可在採用透射部23的簡單的構成下,經由透射部23對基板10照射紫外線。 In addition, the chamber 2 is provided with a transmissive portion 23 that can transmit ultraviolet rays, so that the substrate 10 can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays through the transmissive portion 23 with a simple configuration using the transmissive portion 23.

此外,腔室2,係包含覆蓋基板10之上方的頂板20,透射部23係設於頂板20,使得可在將透射部23設於腔室2的頂板20的簡單的構成下,經由透射部23對基板10照射紫外線。此外,在腔室2的一部分設置透射部23,使得與在整個腔室2設置透射部的情況比較下,可提升透射部23的保養性。 In addition, the chamber 2 includes a top plate 20 covering the upper side of the substrate 10, and the transmission portion 23 is provided on the top plate 20, so that the transmission portion 23 can be provided on the top plate 20 of the chamber 2 through a simple structure 23 The substrate 10 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays. In addition, the provision of the transmission part 23 in a part of the chamber 2 makes it possible to improve the maintainability of the transmission part 23 as compared with the case where the transmission part is provided in the entire chamber 2.

此外,搬送機構5,係包含以夾著腔室2的方式而延伸於照射單元4的移動方向的一對的導軌51(導 引部50)、及以跨收容部2的方式而形成為門型並作成可沿著一對的導軌51而移動的門型框54,而在門型框54係設有保持照射單元4的保持部54c,使得與沿著一般的導軌而使照射單元4移動的情況比較下,可藉具有高的剛性的門型框54使照射單元4沿著一對的導軌51而移動,故可穩定進行照射單元4的移動。 In addition, the transport mechanism 5 includes a pair of guide rails 51 (guides extending in the moving direction of the irradiation unit 4 so as to sandwich the chamber 2 The lead portion 50) and the door frame 54 formed in a door shape so as to straddle the housing portion 2 and movable along a pair of guide rails 51, and the door frame 54 is provided with a holder for holding the irradiation unit 4 The holding portion 54c makes it possible to move the irradiation unit 4 along the pair of guide rails 51 by the door frame 54 having high rigidity compared with the case where the irradiation unit 4 is moved along the general guide rails, so it can be stabilized The irradiation unit 4 is moved.

此外,在腔室2的外部,係設有可將照射單元4冷卻的冷卻部6,使得可將照射單元4冷卻,故即使為將紫外線對基板10連續照射時等將照射單元4連續驅動的情況下,仍可抑制照射單元4過熱。 In addition, a cooling portion 6 that can cool the irradiation unit 4 is provided outside the chamber 2 so that the irradiation unit 4 can be cooled, so the irradiation unit 4 is continuously driven even when ultraviolet rays are continuously irradiated to the substrate 10 In this case, the overheating of the irradiation unit 4 can still be suppressed.

此外,搬送機構5,係與照射單元4一起使冷卻部6在腔室2的外部移動,使得可將照射單元4及冷卻部6一起總括而予以移動,故與使照射單元4及冷卻部6個別獨立移動的情況比較下,可達成裝置構成的精簡化。 In addition, the conveying mechanism 5 moves the cooling unit 6 outside the chamber 2 together with the irradiation unit 4 so that the irradiation unit 4 and the cooling unit 6 can be moved together, so the irradiation unit 4 and the cooling unit 6 In the case of individual independent movements, a simplified device configuration can be achieved.

此外,於腔室2,係設有可調整腔室2的內部環境的氧濃度及露點的氣體供應部7,使得可將腔室2的內部環境的氧濃度調整為既定的濃度,故可在既定的氧濃度的條件下將紫外線照射於基板10。此外,可將腔室2的內部環境的露點調整為既定的露點,故可在既定的露點的條件下將紫外線照射於基板10。 In addition, the chamber 2 is provided with a gas supply portion 7 that can adjust the oxygen concentration and dew point of the internal environment of the chamber 2 so that the oxygen concentration of the internal environment of the chamber 2 can be adjusted to a predetermined concentration, so The substrate 10 is irradiated with ultraviolet rays under the condition of a predetermined oxygen concentration. In addition, since the dew point of the internal environment of the chamber 2 can be adjusted to a predetermined dew point, the substrate 10 can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays under the condition of the predetermined dew point.

此外,在移動步驟中,在一對的導軌51的-X方向端(一端)與+X方向端(另一端)之間使照射單元4往返移動,使得在一對的導軌51的一端與另一端之間僅使照射單元4移動於一方向的情況比較下,即使為將紫 外線對基板10反復照射時,仍可平滑地效率佳地照射。此外,設置一個照射單元4即足夠,故可達成裝置構成的精簡化。 In addition, in the moving step, the irradiation unit 4 is moved back and forth between the -X direction end (one end) and the +X direction end (the other end) of the pair of guide rails 51 so that the end of the pair of guide rails 51 and the other end Compared with the case where the irradiation unit 4 is moved in only one direction between one end, even if the When the external line is repeatedly irradiated to the substrate 10, it can be irradiated smoothly and efficiently. In addition, it is sufficient to provide one irradiation unit 4, so that the simplification of the device configuration can be achieved.
