Description of the Invention: The present invention relates to an in-line coating apparatus, and more particularly to a coating operation suitable for coating a substrate with a photoresist for photolithography, and preventing formation of a photoresist A poor coating of the agent, and an inline pr〇cess type c〇ating apparatus that can realize the entire lithographic technique. [Prior Art] Generally, in the manufacturing technology of various flat panel display substrates, A photolithography method is used as a method of forming a predetermined pattern on the surface of the substrate. The procedure in this manner is as follows. First, a photosensitive material is applied to the surface of the substrate, and then a series of operations such as exposure, development, and etching of the coated surface coated with the photosensitive material are performed. In the coating operation, a photoresist is usually used as a photosensitive material, and it is uniformly coated on the surface of the substrate with a certain thickness. For example, if the photoresist coating on the surface of the substrate is thicker than a predetermined thickness, a complete pattern may not be formed during the etching operation; on the contrary, if it is thinner than the predetermined thickness, an excessive pattern may be formed on the surface of the substrate. . In order to apply a photoresist to the surface of the substrate, the coating is mainly applied by a spin coating apparatus, that is, the power is received from the driving source, and the substrate is loaded on the rotatable rotating plate with respect to the center portion. The photoresist was dropped on the surface of the substrate and uniformly dispersed by a centrifugal force and applied to the surface of the substrate 5 200804992. However, with the spin coating device, not only the rotational speed deviation occurs in the central portion and the peripheral portion of the rotating substrate, but also the solvent is unevenly treated during the diffusion of the photoresist, so that a corrugated bedding is formed on the coated surface. . When the large-area substrate is coated, the above-mentioned corrugated layering is more severely produced, so that a satisfactory effect cannot be obtained when the coating operation is performed. In addition, since the photoresist dropped onto the surface of the substrate drops to the outside of the substrate due to the centrifugal force, excessive raw materials are wasted. In order to solve the problem, the present invention proposes a non-rotation coating method in which a substrate is horizontally placed on a fixed plate having a +-face loading surface, and a coating device having a slit type discharge port is moved over the substrate ( s coater) to apply the photoresist. However, in this coating method, since the slit coating apparatus is directly moved to perform the coating operation while the substrate is placed on the fixed plate, it is difficult to continuously perform the coating operation on the plurality of substrates. In particular, in such a discontinuous coating operation, it is difficult to realize the online connection of the entire stencil printing process and its equipment. Therefore, the operation is complicated and it takes too much time to reduce the production efficiency. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an in-line coating apparatus which can continuously perform a photoresist coating operation while transporting a substrate, and which is easy to realize the entire photolithography technology. . To achieve the object, the present invention provides an in-line coating apparatus, 6 200804992, which comprises: a work platform that provides a working surface length sufficient to complete a coating operation during substrate transport; The ejection pressure causes the substrate to be horizontally suspended on the working surface; and is used for adsorbing and fixing the suspended substrate, and at the same time, by the power of the Weng τ7.JL_t received from the driving source a substrate coating device having an elongated opening, that is, a discharge port ', and applying a photoresist discharge adjusting device to the substrate moving along the working surface through the port, which is detachably Contacting a smooth surface at the end of the discharge port, and pressing the green agent that is attached to the end of the outlet port in a state of being in contact with the smooth surface to cause the photoresist to follow the opening direction of the discharge port Evenly distributed.

The surface contact force can be used to prevent the optical port from occurring, thereby preventing the occurrence of a photoresist. Further, the resist is uniformly dispersed in the poor coating of the coating device before the coating operation, thereby improving the coating quality. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and will be described within the scope of the embodiments of the present invention. Further, since the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in various forms, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope of the following embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a principal view for explaining the overall structure of an in-line coating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and reference numeral 2 denotes a work platform. The work platform 2 has a working surface 4 which is sized to perform a coating operation of the photoresist w by means of an in-line process during the conveyance of the substrate G. The work platform 2 can use a metal bracket formed by welding or a metal profile for joining by screws or the like, or a similar metal structure. A floating stage 6 capable of suspending the substrate G by gas injection pressure is mounted on the working surface 4. The floating stage 6 adopts a general floating stage structure and is disposed on the working surface 4 along the conveying area of the substrate G, and is uniformly distributed by the pressure of the gas ejected from the plurality of holes (not shown). The lower end of the substrate G is supported to horizontally suspend the substrate G. Thus, the manner in which the substrate G is supported in the non-contact state by the gas ejection pressure in the non-contact state is compared with the contact-supporting method in which the substrate is supported by the transport roller, which can effectively prevent damage to the substrate G due to various impacts, contact forces, and the like. The phenomenon. Moreover, the entire surface of the substrate G can be supported in a horizontal manner by uniform gas ejection pressure. A transport device 8 for transporting the substrate G along the work surface 4 is mounted on the work platform 2. The conveying device 8 adsorbs at least one place of the substrate G by vacuum pressure, 8 200804992, and transports the substrate G in an on-line manner along the working surface 4. To this end, as shown in Fig. 1, in the present embodiment, at least one vacuum chuck c is provided on the work surface 4. When the vacuum chuck C receives the power of the driving source 而1 and moves along the working surface 4, the substrate g moves in a state of being adsorbed and fixed to the vacuum chuck C. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, at least one of the vacuum chucks C is fixed to each of the moving bodies 1 设置 disposed on both sides of the substrate G. Further, the "drive source" VI1 can use a conventional linear motor which can linearly transport the two moving bodies 1 沿着 along the work surface 4. Holes (not shown) formed in the respective vacuum chucks C are connected to a general vacuum pressure generating device that generates a vacuum pressure, and a vacuum pressure is generated, and the corresponding sides of the substrate G are adsorbed and fixed by the holes, so that It is roughly horizontal. As shown in Fig. 2, each of the vacuum chucks c is fixed to the movable body 10, and its position can be changed in accordance with the movement of the pneumatic cylinder L1 for transfer. This structure allows the vacuum chuck c to be narrowed or enlarged at both sides of the substrate G to change the adsorption position. One side of the working surface 4 may further be provided with a position adjusting device 12 to adjust the position of the substrate G entering from the outside before applying the photoresist W by physical contact force. As shown in Fig. 3, the position adjusting device 12 has two guide locks on one side of the work surface 4? 1 and the push plate p2 (pushpiate) composition. The two guiding pins P1 are located on two adjacent sides of the four sides of the slidable substrate G. The urging plate P2 is located on the adjacent substrate of the pushable substrate G that is in contact with the two guiding pins P1. The position of the other two sides in the diagonal direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the guide pin P1 and the pressing plate P2 are respectively connected to the piston rod of the cylinder. The guide pin P1 can be moved up and down by the edge of the substrate G, and the pressing plate P2 is directed to Push in the horizontal direction. The position adjusting device 12 operates in a state where the substrate G enters from the working surface 4 side and is suspended on the work surface 4.

即如圖四所示,在利用所述各真空吸盤c進行吸附之 前,使所述導銷P1和推壓板P2開始工作,並在所述兩個 導銷P1卡住基板G邊緣的狀態下,如圖示方向推壓所述 推壓板P2,從而調整基板g的位置。 另外,所述作業面4上安裝有在基板G輸送過程中用 於塗敷光阻劑W的塗敷裝置14。 如圖五所示,所述塗敷裝置14呈長方形箱體狀。而且, 所述塗敷裝置14的下方形成有用於塗敷光阻劑w的狹縫 狀細長噴出口 N。 的動作沿上下方向移動。 述塗敷裝置14被固定在位於所述作業面4上的機 “(Gantry)上,且其之裝配方向與基板g前進方向相 直,而且在所述機架16±,其能夠隨著移送用氣壓缸 所述塗敷裝置14與儲存光阻劑|的儲存槽τ相連接, :由該儲存槽T獲得光阻劑W。爲了能夠進行一般的照相 序:所述光阻…用由固態粉末狀感光物質 軍I〖生/合劑混合而成的感光性組成物。 10 200804992 在基板G以被所述真空吸盤c固定的狀態水平移動, 且在將要通過所述喷出口 N下方位置時’所述塗敷裝置14 向下移動’使喷出口 N接近基板Q表面。 、,此外,如圖六所示’從所述噴出口 N喷出光阻劑w, 並在基板G輸送過程中,將光阻劑w塗敷在其表面上, 從而形成一定厚度的塗層。That is, as shown in FIG. 4, before the adsorption by the vacuum chucks c is performed, the guide pin P1 and the pressing plate P2 are started to operate, and in a state where the two guide pins P1 are caught by the edge of the substrate G, The pressing plate P2 is pushed in the direction shown to adjust the position of the substrate g. Further, a coating device 14 for applying the photoresist W during the conveyance of the substrate G is mounted on the work surface 4. As shown in FIG. 5, the coating device 14 has a rectangular box shape. Further, a slit-like elongated discharge port N for applying the photoresist w is formed under the coating device 14. The movement moves up and down. The coating device 14 is fixed on a machine "Gantry" located on the work surface 4, and its assembly direction is straight with the advancement direction of the substrate g, and at the frame 16±, it can be transferred along with The coating device 14 is connected to the storage tank τ storing the photoresist| by a pneumatic cylinder, and the photoresist W is obtained from the storage tank T. In order to enable a general photo sequence: the photoresist is used by a solid state A photosensitive composition in which a powdery photosensitive material is mixed with a mixture of ingredients. 10 200804992 The substrate G is horizontally moved in a state of being fixed by the vacuum chuck c, and is to be passed through a position below the discharge port N. The coating device 14 is moved downward to make the ejection port N close to the surface of the substrate Q. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, 'the photoresist w is ejected from the ejection port N, and during the substrate G transport, A photoresist w is applied on the surface thereof to form a coating of a certain thickness.

如上所述,在基板G輸送過程中進行光阻劑w的塗 敷作業時’在所述塗敷裝置14的塗敷位置,所述各真空 吸盤C的真空壓力被解除’由所述懸浮台6支撐基板使其 懸浮,以進行塗敷作業。 例如,如圖七所示,在基板〇兩侧真空吸盤c中的配 置可暫時解除通過所述❹σ 塗敷位置的真空吸盤c 的真空壓。 由此,所述基板G的整個面積中通過所述喷出口 Μ 方的部分可藉由所述懸浮台6的氣壓,以非接觸狀態獲得 支持。 這種結構在進行塗敷作章時,益 斤 W茶-糟由氣體噴射壓力以非 接觸狀態支撐所述基板〇的全部面積中與所述_出口 ^ 近的部分,因此在基板G移動過程中,可使基板保持一定 的水平狀態。 如果所述基板在經過塗敷位置的基板G的部分面積直 ,被所述真空吸盤c固定的狀態下移動,就會因所述各真 空吸盤C在動作過程中所形成的姿勢和位置偏差等, 均勻地固定基板G,從而降低塗敷質量。 . 11 200804992 如圖一所示,在所述作豐 業面2上,女裝有與所述塗 裝置1 4相鄰的噴出調整裝置丨8。 在使用所述塗敷裝置14進行塗㈣業之_ '出調整裝置18使㈣在所述喷出…部上的光阻劑 W均勻分布。 dAs described above, when the coating operation of the photoresist w is performed during the conveyance of the substrate G, 'the vacuum pressure of each vacuum chuck C is released at the application position of the coating device 14' by the floating table 6 Support the substrate to suspend it for coating operation. For example, as shown in Fig. 7, the arrangement in the vacuum chuck c on both sides of the substrate 可 temporarily releases the vacuum pressure of the vacuum chuck c passing through the ❹σ application position. Thereby, the portion of the entire area of the substrate G that passes through the discharge port can be supported in a non-contact state by the air pressure of the floating table 6. When the coating is applied, the portion of the entire area of the substrate which is adjacent to the outlet is supported by the gas ejection pressure in a non-contact state, and thus the substrate G is moved. The substrate can be maintained at a certain level. If the substrate is moved in a state where the portion of the substrate G passing through the application position is straight and is fixed by the vacuum chuck c, the posture and positional deviation formed by the vacuum chuck C during the operation may be caused. , the substrate G is uniformly fixed, thereby reducing the coating quality. 11 200804992 As shown in Fig. 1, on the augmented surface 2, the women's wear has a discharge adjusting device 8 adjacent to the coating device 14. The coating device 14 is used for coating (4) to uniformly distribute the photoresist W on the ejection portion. d

爲此,如圖八所示,在本實施例中,通過將具 接觸面F的移動滑塊20沿著所述作業面4移動,使所述 接觸面F以面接觸力壓住粘著在所述塗敷裝置"之噴出 口 N端部上的光阻齊】W,從而使光阻齊】w在所述噴出口 N端部的開口方向上均勻分布(如圖九所示)。 如圖八所示,所述移動滑塊2〇呈長方體狀,且爲了防 止其與沿所述作業® 4移動的基板G及真空吸盤c相接 觸,將其固定在底部呈凹形的支撐用托架22上。 所述托架22在移送用氣壓缸L3的作用下,沿所述作 業面4進行往復移動,使所述移動滑塊2〇通過所述噴出 口 N的下方。 、 在所述移動滑塊20通過所述塗覆裝置ι4的下方時, 將所述噴出口 N的端部與所述接觸面F之間的間距Q設定 在50至100微米範圍。 若所述間距Q小於所述範圍,則難以保障有足夠的空 間可使點著在所述喷出口 N端部上的光阻劑w與接觸面F 相接觸而均勻分散。 相反’若所述間距Q大於所述範圍,則很難得到有六文 的面接觸力。 > 12 200804992 對所述接觸面F可進行_ 磨,以使其具有一定的平滑度 開口方向維持均等間距Q。To this end, as shown in FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, by moving the moving slider 20 having the contact surface F along the working surface 4, the contact surface F is pressed against the surface contact force by the surface contact force. The photoresist on the end portion of the ejection port of the coating device is flushed so that the photoresist is uniformly distributed in the opening direction of the end portion of the ejection port N (as shown in FIG. 9). As shown in FIG. 8, the moving slider 2 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is fixed to a concave support at the bottom in order to prevent it from coming into contact with the substrate G and the vacuum chuck c moving along the operation® 4. On the bracket 22. The carriage 22 reciprocates along the work surface 4 by the transfer pneumatic cylinder L3 to pass the moving slider 2 below the discharge port N. When the moving slider 20 passes under the coating device ι4, the pitch Q between the end of the ejection port N and the contact surface F is set in the range of 50 to 100 μm. If the pitch Q is smaller than the above range, it is difficult to ensure that there is sufficient space for the photoresist w placed on the end portion of the discharge port N to be in contact with the contact surface F to be uniformly dispersed.
