Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a floating-transport type substrate processing apparatus that floats a rectangular substrate to be processed on a stage and carries out predetermined processing on the substrate while conveying it in the horizontal direction. Modernized substrate processing equipment. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, in the field of photolithography used in the manufacture of flat panel displays (FPDs), a resist coating apparatus for coating a resist on a substrate to be processed (such as a glass substrate) has adopted a float transfer system.
[0003] A conventional resist coating apparatus employing a floating conveyance method, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, uses a floating stage in which a rectangular substrate to be processed (for example, a glass substrate) is floated by gas pressure. To form a floating conveyance path, and as a conveying device for moving the substrate floating on the table in an ...
