The display section 83 is provided, for example, on the front side of the cassette station 2 as shown in FIG. 1 and adjacent to the setting input section 80, and the operator inputs check information while checking the setting information. You can check the list screen T.

On the check list screen T, for example, check items determined in advance by a vendor or the like are listed. Check items are, for example, settings, adjustments, and confirmation items relating to the entire coating and developing processing apparatus 1 and various units. In addition, each check item is provided with a column that describes the check information, check date and time, and the operator's signature, which are the contents of the check item.入力 The input information from the manual input section 84 described later is displayed, and the input information input from the setting input section 80 and the manual input section 84 described later correspond to the input information. The information is automatically entered and displayed in the specified part of the check item column.

In the check date / time column, for example, the same date and time as the clock function (not shown) provided in the coating and developing apparatus 1 are displayed. In the field of the operator's sign, for example, input information from the manual input section 84 is displayed, and the operator's name can be entered from the manual input section 84. . When inputting the names of workers, for example, passwords, ID codes, etc. may be input as necessary.

On the checklist screen T, for example, startup work was performed. A column is provided to display the serial number of the coating and developing equipment and the names of all workers, and can be entered using, for example, the manual input section 84.

The manual input section 84 is composed of, for example, a keyboard provided with a cursor key, a numeric input key, and the like. The check information on check items other than the setting items that can be set by the setting input section 80 is displayed on a check list screen. Can be entered in T. Also, as described above, the name of the worker can be entered in the worker's signature field. The manual input section 84 is provided adjacent to the display section 83, for example, as shown in FIG.

Next, the check list creation process at the time of the start-up work of the coating and developing apparatus 1 described above will be described.

First, the worker on the vendor side inputs the identification number of coating / developing apparatus 1 and his / her own name from manual input section 84, and fills in check list screen T on display section 83. At this time, if there are multiple workers, for example, enter the names of all the workers. Next, various settings, adjustments, and confirmations are performed according to the items on the checklist screen T displayed on the display unit 83. For example, as shown in Fig. 7, the items to be checked include the temperature and humidity settings in the cup of the resist coating unit 21, the wind speed in the cup, the discharge amount setting of the resist solution, the height adjustment of the resist solution discharge nozzle, When the center position adjustment is performed, the operator first opens the setting input screen S for the resist coating unit 21 as shown in FIG. The setting input screen S includes, for example, a setting information column for inputting setting information for each setting item relating to the resist dispensing unit 21 and a confirm button for confirming the setting.

Next, as shown in Fig. 9, for example, the operator inputs predetermined values recommended by the vendor in the setting information fields of the temperature and humidity in the cup, the wind speed in the cup, and the discharge amount of the resist liquid. Then, when the confirm button is pressed, for example, the main controller 81 to the temperature / humidity controller 39, the gas supply controller 38, and the discharge amount controller 36 Then, the setting information such as the predetermined numerical value is output, and the temperature and humidity in the cup 31, the wind speed in the cup 31, and the discharge amount of the resist liquid are set.

At the same time, each numerical value input on the setting input screen S is displayed in the column of each check information on the check list screen T on the display section 83 as shown in FIG. At this time, the date and time when the start-up work was performed are displayed in the date / time column. Then, the name of the worker who performed the work related to the check items is input, for example, from the manual input section 84, and is entered in the worker's signature field.

On the other hand, when the worker adjusts the position of the resist solution discharge nozzle of the resist dispensing unit 21 and adjusts the center position of the needle C on the spin chuck 30, for example, the worker first uses a caliper. The position of the resist solution discharge nozzle 32 and the center position of the wafer W are actually measured using measuring instruments such as a jig and a jig. Next, if the measured value is within the allowable range, enter the measured value from the manual input section 84 and enter it in the check information field of the checklist screen T. On the other hand, if the measured value is not within the allowable range, the position and the like of the resist solution discharge nozzle 32 are corrected and corrected, and the measured value is measured again, and the measured value is input from the manual input unit 84. As a result, the actual measured value after the correction is entered in the check information column of the checklist screen T. At this time, the date and time are automatically entered in the same way as the input from the setting input section 80 described above. Then, for example, the name of the worker who performed the work is input from the manual input section 84, and is entered in the sign field of the worker on the checklist screen T.

In this way, the input from the setting input section 80 and the input from the manual input section 84 are sequentially performed according to the check items on the check list screen T, so that the check list is displayed on the screen. Is created.

The check list screen T in which all the check items have been entered in this way is stored in the storage section 82 of the control section 13 as, for example, check list information. If necessary, a printing device (not shown) such as a printer may be used. Output according to the location.

According to the above embodiment, the check list created during the start-up work is displayed as a check list screen on the display section 83 of the coating and developing apparatus 1, and the setting input section is displayed. Since the setting information such as the set value set in 80 is automatically entered in the checklist screen T as it is, mistakes in the checklist entry and omission of entry can be prevented. Also, since it is not necessary for the operator to write down the set values and the like, the checklist is created quickly, and the time required for the startup work is reduced.

In addition, since the manual input section 84 is provided, the operator manually sets, adjusts, and confirms the check items that are not the setting items of the setting input section 80, and then inputs the set values and the like to the manual input section 84. You can fill out the checklist screen T from.

In the check list screen T described in the embodiment, the check items that have already been checked and the check items that have not been checked may be identified and displayed. For example, as shown in Fig. 11, checked and unchecked items are displayed in different colors. In such a case, unchecked items can be seen at a glance, thus preventing omission of checks. The check items may be identified by other methods, for example, by brightness or blinking. Also, only unchecked items may be extracted and displayed.

In the above embodiment, the manual input section 84 is provided independently. However, the display section 83 may be provided with an input function and integrated. In this case, for example, the display unit 83 is configured with a touch screen or the like as a pointing device, and the check list and the operator's sign that are not input from the setting input unit 80 are displayed in the check list 83. Although the setting input unit 80 and the display unit 83 are provided separately in the above embodiment, the setting input unit 80 and the display unit 83 are provided separately. Choi The list screen may be displayed at one place. For example, a checklist screen T can be displayed on the setting input section 80 that is a touch screen. Then, the check list screen T and setting input screen S can be switched. This allows the setting input and the display of the checklist to be performed in one place. Since the setting input section 80 is a touch screen, the manual input performed by the manual input section 84 can also be performed.

Furthermore, the check information displayed on the check list screen T described in the above embodiment may be transmitted to the vendor side via the Internet.

Figure 12 is a schematic diagram of the communication system 100 for transmitting the check information displayed on the check list screen T to the vendor.
