Problems solved by technology

However, in this method, for example, when performing rough teaching work, there is a process of visual and manual work by a worker, so there is a problem that time and labor are required in this process.
In addition, in the teaching work using the positioner, since the teaching work is for the horizontal direction, there is also a problem that it is impossible to ensure sufficient positional accuracy in the height (Z axis)

Abstract

A substrate processing apparatus has a transfer mechanism arranged on a transfer base and configured to transfer a processing substrate between predetermined transfer positions, a mapping sensor arranged on the transfer base and configured to detect an arrangement state of a processing substrate inside a processing substrate accommodating case which accommodates a plurality of processing substrate in a shelf-like form, and a Z-axis teaching jig provided on or in the vicinity of one of the transfer positions. This substrate processing apparatus detects, by the mapping sensor, a height of the Z-axis teaching jig so as to perform teaching of Z-axis to the transfer mechanism with respect to the one of the transfer positions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus for performing etching processing, film forming processing, etc. on a substrate to be processed, such as a semiconductor wafer or a glass substrate for a liquid crystal display device, and a transfer positioning method thereof. Background technique [0002] Currently, there are known substrate processing apparatuses that perform etching processing, film formation processing, and the like on a substrate to be processed, such as a semiconductor wafer or a glass substrate for a liquid crystal display device. As such a substrate processing apparatus, there is known a structure in which a plurality of vacuum processing chambers (processing chambers), a vacuum transfer chamber provided with a transfer mechanism inside, and a transfer chamber for transferring a substrate to be processed in the atmosphere are known. The chamber, the mounting part equipped with a box body or a front opening unifi...
