Description

基板组装装置和基板组装方法Substrate assembly device and substrate assembly method

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及基板胶合装置,特别是有关适用于在减压腔内使胶合的基板彼此间分别保持并相对、缩小间隔胶合的液晶显示板等的组装的基板组装装置。The present invention relates to a substrate gluing device, in particular to a substrate assembling device suitable for assembling liquid crystal display panels etc. which are bonded with each other in a decompression chamber and held and opposed to each other with a narrow gap.

背景技术 Background technique

作为以往的液晶显示板的制造装置,在日本特开平10-26763号公报中有所记载。在此公报中,在设置有透明电极或者薄膜晶体管矩阵(トランジスタアレイ)的2张玻璃基板的一方侧上被覆液晶,接着,在分散配置隔片后,通过具有上下机构的销,将另一方的基板载置在上面,通过在装置的左右方向设置的定位销,对该基板定位后,使腔内为真空,重叠基板后,再次进行定位后,通过将腔内压力回复到大气压侧来进行胶合。As a conventional manufacturing apparatus of a liquid crystal display panel, it describes in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 10-26763. In this publication, liquid crystal is coated on one side of two glass substrates provided with a transparent electrode or a thin film transistor matrix (transistor array), and then, after distributing and disposing spacers, the other side is moved by a pin having an up-and-down mechanism. The substrate is placed on the top, and after positioning the substrate with the positioning pins provided in the left and right directions of the device, the cavity is vacuumed, and after overlapping the substrates, the positioning is performed again, and the pressure in the cavity is returned to the atmospheric pressure side to perform bonding. .

另外,在日本特开2001-305563号公报中,公开了如下的构造:在一体构造的真空腔内,具有将两基板的任意一方可自由拆装地保持在上面或者下面的第一台面、和将两基板的另一方可自由拆装地保持在下面或者上面的第二台面。而且,保持各自的基板的台面的上面以及下面相对地配置,两台面的一方通过弹性体与真空腔气密地可移动地结合,且该一方的台面在由前述弹性体划分的真空腔的大气侧,具有相对于真空腔至少在水平方向移动的驱动装置。In addition, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-305563 discloses a structure in which, in an integrally constructed vacuum chamber, there are a first table surface on which either one of the two substrates is detachably held on the upper or lower surface, and The other side of the two substrates is detachably held on the lower or upper second platform. Moreover, the upper and lower surfaces of the mesas holding the respective substrates are arranged oppositely, one of the two mesas is airtightly and movably combined with the vacuum chamber through the elastic body, and the one of the mesas is in the atmosphere of the vacuum chamber divided by the aforementioned elastic body. side, with a drive device that moves at least in a horizontal direction relative to the vacuum chamber.

另外,在日本特开2001-5401号公报中,公开了将腔分割为上下2个,在下侧腔,具有基板的运送以及液晶滴下装置的基板组装装置。In addition, JP-A-2001-5401 discloses a substrate assembly device in which a chamber is divided into upper and lower chambers, and a lower chamber is provided with a conveyance of a substrate and a liquid crystal dropping device.

在上述特开平10-26763号公报中,基板的加压仅仅是利用基板间和基板外侧的气压差进行的,在这种情况下,基板间的密封材料必须是确实填充到上下基板间的状态。因此,在所使用的密封材料必须是很大的量的同时,有扩大到显示部侧的可能。另外,在真空中的基板的保持,因为其下侧的基板载置于平坦的载物台上,上侧的基板在其周缘的适当的位置通过销状的部件支撑,所以在大型基板为1m×1m以上的大型基板的情况下,发生挠曲,难于确定上下两基板的正确位置。In the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-26763, the pressurization of the substrates is carried out only by using the air pressure difference between the substrates and the outside of the substrates. In this case, the sealing material between the substrates must be filled to the state between the upper and lower substrates. . Therefore, a large amount of sealing material must be used, and there is a possibility that the sealing material may be extended to the display portion side. In addition, for the holding of the substrate in vacuum, the substrate on the lower side is placed on a flat stage, and the substrate on the upper side is supported by a pin-shaped member at an appropriate position on the periphery, so the length of 1m for a large substrate is In the case of a large board with a diameter of more than 1m, warpage occurs, making it difficult to determine the correct position of the upper and lower boards.

再有,将上下基板直接搬送到真空腔中,在搬送后因为腔内从大气压排气至真空,需要排气的时间,所以存在不能提高生产性的问题。In addition, since the upper and lower substrates are directly transferred into the vacuum chamber, it takes time for the chamber to be evacuated from atmospheric pressure to vacuum after the transfer, so there is a problem that productivity cannot be improved.

另外,在特开平2001-305563号公报的构成中,因为上下的台面配置在一体构造的真空腔内,所以当在腔内有基板破损的情况,或者在由于基板的附着物质而污染台面表面的情况下,存在难以清扫在腔内部的台面的问题。另外,为了取出胶合后的基板而提升基板的升降机构、或为了防止位移而将临时固定基板的机构、或者为了进行基板的定位的标记识别机构或者照明机构,固定在一体构成的真空腔或者真空腔外部的构造体侧。但是,由于真空腔和下侧台面在定位时相对移动,所以存在设置在下侧台面上的升降机构、临时固定、识别或者定位的槽或者孔的尺寸变大的问题。若在台面上设置的孔或者槽的尺寸太大,则在对基板定位后,在加压时,产生局部压力的变化,有出现粘接剂不能均匀涂敷的影响的情况。In addition, in the configuration of JP-A-2001-305563, since the upper and lower tables are arranged in an integrated vacuum chamber, if the substrate is damaged in the chamber, or the surface of the table is contaminated by substances attached to the substrate, In this case, there is a problem that it is difficult to clean the table inside the chamber. In addition, the elevating mechanism that lifts the substrate in order to take out the glued substrate, or the mechanism that temporarily fixes the substrate to prevent displacement, or the mark recognition mechanism or lighting mechanism for positioning the substrate, is fixed to the integrally formed vacuum chamber or vacuum chamber. The side of the construct outside the cavity. However, since the vacuum chamber and the lower table are relatively moved during positioning, there is a problem that the size of the elevating mechanism, temporary fixing, identification or positioning grooves or holes provided on the lower table becomes large. If the size of the holes or grooves provided on the table is too large, local pressure changes will occur when the substrate is positioned and pressurized, and the adhesive may not be evenly applied.

而且,在以往的具有2分割腔的装置中,下台面和下侧腔没有一体化,在台面和腔之间有密封,相对于下侧腔,下侧台面可以进行自由旋转等的运动。因此,因为基板的定位是在XY方向使腔整体移动、θ方向的运动是移动基板载置台面,所以密封的构造为上下腔之间和下侧台面与下侧腔之间的2个位置,从气密保持的观点来看,存在产生问题的情况。In addition, in the conventional device having two divided chambers, the lower table and the lower chamber are not integrated, but there is a seal between the table and the chamber, and the lower table can freely rotate relative to the lower chamber. Therefore, since the positioning of the substrate is to move the entire chamber in the XY direction, and the movement in the θ direction is to move the substrate mounting table, the sealing structure is two positions between the upper and lower chambers and between the lower table and the lower chamber. From the viewpoint of airtight maintenance, there are cases where problems arise.

发明内容 Contents of the invention

因此,本发明的目的是提供一种即使基板大型化,也可以进行高精度且高速胶合的、生产性高的基板胶合装置。Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a highly productive substrate gluing apparatus that can perform high-precision and high-speed gluing even if the substrate is enlarged.

为了达到上述目的的本发明,是在减压状态的腔内将两基板胶合的基板胶合装置中,其构成为,将腔作成上下可分割的构造,在上侧腔内使一方的基板可自由拆装地固定的第一台面、和在下侧腔内使另一方的基板可自由拆装地固定的第二台面,与各自的基板相对备置,前述第一台面在上腔的大气侧具有使之在腔内上下移动的驱动机构,前述第二台面与下腔一体结合,在前述下腔的大气侧,具有相对于上腔至少在水平方向微小移动的驱动装置。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a substrate gluing device for gluing two substrates in a chamber under reduced pressure. The first table that is detachably fixed and the second table that is detachably fixed to the other substrate in the lower chamber are provided opposite to the respective substrates. As for the drive mechanism for moving up and down in the cavity, the aforementioned second platform is integrally combined with the lower cavity, and on the atmospheric side of the aforementioned lower cavity, there is a driving device that moves slightly in the horizontal direction at least relative to the upper cavity.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways

以下,根据附图说明本发明的一个实施方式。Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

在图1中,基板组装装置是由下腔T1部和上腔T2部构成的。在上腔T2部上,上侧台面2通过贯通上腔T2的支撑腿3以及多个调整腿4,在上下方向可移动地被安装。支撑腿3通过O形环5,另外调整腿4通过焊接波纹管6,将上腔T2内部遮断为与大气不连通。上侧台面2的支撑腿3以及调整腿4固定于加压基础板7上。In FIG. 1, the substrate assembly apparatus is composed of a lower chamber T1 and an upper chamber T2. On the upper chamber T2 part, the upper table top 2 is vertically movably attached via the support legs 3 and the plurality of adjustment legs 4 penetrating the upper chamber T2. The supporting leg 3 passes through the O-ring 5 , and the adjusting leg 4 passes through the welded bellows 6 to block the inside of the upper chamber T2 from communicating with the atmosphere. The supporting legs 3 and the adjusting legs 4 of the upper platform 2 are fixed on the press base plate 7 .

而且,此加压基础板7的中央部固定在中间基础板8上。中间基础板8的构成为,通过使在顶部机架9上安装的由驱动马达10及减速机11、以及滚珠螺钉12构成的驱动机构动作,将滚珠花键导向机构13作为导向装置,可以上下移动。另外,在台架1上,通过与滚珠花键导向机构分别设置的支撑柱,来支撑顶部机架9。一端固定在加压基础板7上的各调整腿4的另一端侧,与通过安装在中间基础板8上的驱动马达14所驱动的滚珠螺钉15连结。驱动由该驱动马达14和滚珠螺钉15构成的上下调整机构,通过使力作用于加压基础板7,上侧台面2可以一边保持平坦度,一边上下移动。And, the central portion of this pressurized base plate 7 is fixed to the intermediate base plate 8 . The structure of the intermediate base plate 8 is such that by actuating the drive mechanism composed of the drive motor 10, the speed reducer 11, and the ball screw 12 installed on the top frame 9, the ball spline guide mechanism 13 is used as a guide device, and it can be moved up and down. move. In addition, on the stand 1, the top frame 9 is supported by a support column provided separately from the ball spline guide mechanism. The other end side of each adjustment leg 4 whose one end is fixed to the pressure base plate 7 is connected to a ball screw 15 driven by a drive motor 14 mounted on the intermediate base plate 8 . By driving the vertical adjustment mechanism composed of the drive motor 14 and the ball screw 15, by applying a force to the press base plate 7, the upper table 2 can move up and down while maintaining the flatness.

在图2中表示了用于驱动上腔T2的机构的一例。在上腔T2上,设置了由通过缸50驱动的杆51和T字状的连接部件52构成的上侧台面2的连接机构。在加压基础板7上,设置有连接部件52可以上下的贯通孔。在加压基础板7下降的状态下,若在T字形的连接部件52和加压基础板7的上面之间,通过插入杆51,提升加压基础板7,上腔T2也可以一同向上侧移动而构成。另外,上腔T2也将滚珠花键导向装置13作为导向装置以可以上下移动、在前后左右(水平方向)接近刚性的形态安装。此滚珠花键13一端部固定在装置台架1上。即,为了移动上腔T2,通过连接机构,可以使上侧台面2和上腔T2一同上下移动而构成。An example of a mechanism for driving the upper chamber T2 is shown in FIG. 2 . In the upper chamber T2, a connection mechanism for the upper table 2 composed of a rod 51 driven by a cylinder 50 and a T-shaped connection member 52 is provided. The press base plate 7 is provided with a through hole through which the connecting member 52 can be moved up and down. In the state where the pressurized base plate 7 is lowered, if the rod 51 is inserted between the T-shaped connecting part 52 and the top of the pressurized base plate 7 to lift the pressurized base plate 7, the upper chamber T2 can also be moved upward together. constituted by movement. In addition, the upper chamber T2 also uses the ball spline guide 13 as a guide so that it can move up and down, and is attached in a nearly rigid form in the front, rear, left, and right (horizontal direction). One end of the ball spline 13 is fixed on the device stand 1 . That is, in order to move the upper chamber T2, the upper table 2 and the upper chamber T2 can be moved up and down together by the connection mechanism.

另外,在腔内,为了进行基板的搬入·搬出的门阀16设置在上腔T2的侧方外壁侧。而且,在门阀16相对的上腔的侧壁位置上,设置有通过将离子化超音波空气吹附到基板表面,可以进行对基板的除去静电的离子发生器17。再有,在腔外侧的门阀16的附近也设置有离子发生器17a,据此,在门阀打开的状态下,通过吹附离子化空气,可以提高对基板的消电效果。另外,虽然腔内的离子发生器17设置在上腔T2上,当然只要将离子风吹附到基板面上即可,作为安装在下腔T1上的构成也可以。从此门阀16将基板搬入,在胶合后进行液晶板的搬出。In addition, in the chamber, a gate valve 16 for carrying in and carrying out substrates is provided on the lateral outer wall side of the upper chamber T2. Moreover, on the side wall of the upper chamber opposite to the gate valve 16, an ion generator 17 that can remove static electricity from the substrate is provided by blowing ionized ultrasonic air onto the surface of the substrate. In addition, an ion generator 17a is also provided near the gate valve 16 outside the chamber. According to this, when the gate valve is opened, ionized air can be blown to improve the effect of dissipating electricity on the substrate. In addition, although the ion generator 17 in the chamber is installed in the upper chamber T2, of course, it only needs to blow the ion wind onto the substrate surface, and it can also be installed in the lower chamber T1. The substrate is carried in from the gate valve 16, and the liquid crystal panel is carried out after gluing.

在上腔T2的上面外壁上,多个套筒构造的副导向装置18使中心轴19向腔内突出地设置。此中心轴19与在设置于上侧台面2的外周上的突出部上设置的孔系合,可以进行上侧台面2的水平方向的调整。即,作为上侧台面2的水平调整机构,副导向装置18和中心轴19动作。这样一来,通过上侧台面2也可以微调其水平方向的位置,在使基板的定位变得容易的同时,也可以使施加在基板上的加压力均等化。On the upper outer wall of the upper chamber T2, a plurality of sleeve-structured secondary guides 18 are provided so that the central shaft 19 protrudes into the chamber. This center shaft 19 engages with a hole formed in a protrusion provided on the outer periphery of the upper table 2, and the horizontal direction of the upper table 2 can be adjusted. That is, the sub-guide 18 and the center shaft 19 operate as the level adjustment mechanism of the upper table 2 . In this way, the horizontal position of the upper table 2 can also be finely adjusted, and the positioning of the substrate can be facilitated, and the pressing force applied to the substrate can be equalized.

在上腔T2中,在腔内侧凸形状的窗框下端,设置有基板标记观测用的多个观测孔。将摄象机的镜头21插入此观测用的窗框内,通过摄象机确认在基板上设置的标记。摄象机的镜头21设置在具有水平方向(X、Y方向)移动轴以及垂直方向(Z方向)移动轴的移动载物台上,该移动载物台固定在上腔T2上。再有,在上侧台面2上,基板标记识别用的孔设置在与上述观测孔相对应的位置上。In the upper chamber T2, a plurality of observation holes for substrate mark observation are provided at the lower end of the convex window frame inside the chamber. The lens 21 of the camera is inserted into the window frame for observation, and the mark provided on the substrate is confirmed by the camera. The lens 21 of the camera is arranged on a movable stage having a moving axis in the horizontal direction (X, Y direction) and a moving axis in the vertical direction (Z direction), and the moving stage is fixed on the upper cavity T2. In addition, on the upper side table 2, a hole for substrate mark recognition is provided at a position corresponding to the above-mentioned observation hole.

在本实施方式中,虽然是将摄象机配置在腔外的构成,通过将此摄象机直接安装在上侧台面2上的构成,不需要观测孔,除可以提高腔内的密封性以外,还可以接近基板配置摄象机,使提高基于摄象机的标记识别的精度提高,从而提高基板间的定位精度。In this embodiment, although the camera is arranged outside the chamber, by directly installing the camera on the upper table 2, there is no need for an observation hole, and in addition to improving the airtightness of the chamber, , It is also possible to arrange the camera close to the substrate to improve the accuracy of marking recognition based on the camera, thereby improving the positioning accuracy between the substrates.

而且,为测定对基板的加压力,在支撑腿3的中间基础和滚珠螺钉之间设置有负载传感器22。另外,在调整上台面的平坦度时,因为需要监视驱动各调整腿4的马达14不会发生过载,所以在加压基础板7上的各个调整腿上分别设置负载传感器23。Furthermore, a load cell 22 is provided between the intermediate base of the support leg 3 and the ball screw in order to measure the pressing force on the substrate. In addition, when adjusting the flatness of the upper table, since it is necessary to monitor that the motor 14 driving each adjustment leg 4 will not be overloaded, load sensors 23 are respectively provided on each adjustment leg on the press base plate 7 .

下侧台面24固定在下侧腔T1内。此下侧台面24,若其全面与下腔接合固定,则在减压时下腔T1变形的情况下,存在该变形原样传递到下侧台面产生平坦度偏差的可能性。因此,为不受下腔T1变形的影响,仅将下侧台面的周边部固定在下侧腔上。另外,在下腔T1的全周上,配置有后述的密封环25。上腔T2与密封环25接触,且门阀16在关闭的状态下,其内部密封,构成减压室。The lower table 24 is fixed in the lower chamber T1. If the entire surface of the lower table 24 is bonded and fixed to the lower chamber, when the lower chamber T1 is deformed during decompression, the deformation may be transmitted to the lower table as it is, causing a deviation in flatness. Therefore, in order not to be affected by the deformation of the lower chamber T1, only the peripheral portion of the lower table is fixed to the lower chamber. In addition, a seal ring 25 to be described later is disposed on the entire circumference of the lower chamber T1. The upper chamber T2 is in contact with the sealing ring 25, and when the gate valve 16 is closed, its interior is sealed to form a decompression chamber.

下腔T1设置在θ基础台面28上,该θ基础台面28构成为通过马达26和没有图示的滚珠螺钉以及旋转轴承27而旋转驱动。在θ基础台面28和下腔T1的连接中,使箱形部件介于其中,可以确保所规定的空间。此空间是为在下腔T1的下侧,安装UV照射机构40或者基板保持爪升降机构41、基板升降机构43而设置的。θ基础台面28通过旋转轴承27安装在Y台面32上。另外,Y台面32设置成通过马达29可以在设置于X台面33上的线性轨道上移动。再有,X台面33设置成通过驱动马达30的可以在设置于台架1侧的线性轨道上移动。这样,固定下侧台面的下侧腔的驱动机构配置在下侧腔的外侧,通过移动下侧腔,可以对下侧台面上的基板定位。因此,在可以保持腔内密封性的同时,因为将驱动机构作为外部配置,所以通过驱动机构动作,基板可以不受所产生的尘埃的影响,从而进行精度良好的胶合。The lower chamber T1 is provided on a θ base table 28 configured to be rotationally driven by a motor 26 , a ball screw (not shown), and a rotary bearing 27 . A predetermined space can be ensured by interposing a box-shaped member in the connection between the θ base table 28 and the lower chamber T1. This space is provided for installing the UV irradiation mechanism 40, the substrate holding claw lifting mechanism 41, and the substrate lifting mechanism 43 on the lower side of the lower chamber T1. The θ base table 28 is mounted on the Y table 32 through a rotary bearing 27 . In addition, the Y table 32 is configured to be movable on a linear rail provided on the X table 33 by the motor 29 . Furthermore, the X stage 33 is provided to be movable on a linear rail provided on the side of the stage 1 by the drive motor 30 . In this way, the driving mechanism for the lower chamber that fixes the lower table is disposed outside the lower chamber, and by moving the lower chamber, the substrate on the lower table can be positioned. Therefore, while the sealability in the chamber can be maintained, since the drive mechanism is arranged externally, the substrates can be bonded with high precision without being affected by the dust generated by the operation of the drive mechanism.

另外,上腔T2与下腔T1的密封环25接触而构成减压室时,为使密封环25的压碎量保持一定,在θ基础台面28的外周部上,设置多个上腔用的滚珠轴承34和带有调整机构的碰板35。通过这些滚珠轴承34和碰板35,调整上腔部T2的下降位置。另外,在本实施方式中,上腔T2与下腔T1的结合通过上腔T2的自重进行。这样,即使仅靠上腔T2的自重,也可以逐渐对内部减压,从大气侧向腔内部作用外力,因为上腔T2在作用充足的推压力,可以通过巨大的结合力使腔结合。另外,在滚珠轴承34上,具备有用于使上腔T2在上下微动的微小高度升降机构。In addition, when the upper chamber T2 is in contact with the sealing ring 25 of the lower chamber T1 to form a decompression chamber, in order to keep the crushing amount of the sealing ring 25 constant, on the outer peripheral portion of the θ base table 28, a plurality of upper chambers are provided. Ball bearing 34 and touch plate 35 with adjustment mechanism. The lowering position of the upper chamber part T2 is adjusted by these ball bearings 34 and the striker plate 35 . In addition, in this embodiment, the coupling of the upper chamber T2 and the lower chamber T1 is performed by the weight of the upper chamber T2. In this way, even with the self-weight of the upper chamber T2, the interior can be decompressed gradually, and an external force can be applied from the atmospheric side to the interior of the chamber, because the upper chamber T2 is acting with sufficient pushing force, and the chambers can be combined through a huge bonding force. In addition, the ball bearing 34 is provided with a micro-height raising and lowering mechanism for slightly moving the upper chamber T2 up and down.

而且,为使θ基础台面28不变形,为支撑θ基础台面28的外周部,在装置基础(台架)1上固定的部件上,设置有多个θ基础压板28用的滚珠轴承37和带有调整机构的碰板38。据此,接受来自θ基础压板28的负重。这样,因为是通过腔用滚珠轴承34和θ基础台面用的滚珠轴承37这2层,接受上下腔的周围的负重而构成,所以可以将腔的变形抑制成很小。And in order not to deform the θ base table 28, in order to support the outer peripheral portion of the θ base table 28, on the parts fixed on the device base (stand) 1, a plurality of ball bearings 37 and belts for the θ base pressing plate 28 are provided. There is a touch plate 38 of an adjustment mechanism. Accordingly, the load from the θ base platen 28 is received. In this way, since the two layers of the ball bearing 34 for the chamber and the ball bearing 37 for the θ foundation table receive the load around the upper and lower chambers, the deformation of the chamber can be suppressed to be small.

在下腔T1上设置用于进行标记识别的多个透过照明39,在与下侧台面24对应的位置开孔。而且,在下腔T1内,为使胶合的基板不位移,而将UV粘接剂捣碎使之硬化,设置多个加压·UV照射机构40。另外,分别设置在进行基板的搬入·搬出时,为防止基板的宽度方向挠曲的保持爪升降机构41,或为防止机械手的挠曲以及前后方向的基板的挠曲的旋转升降销,或用于将胶合后的基板升降的基板升降机构43。A plurality of transmitted lights 39 for mark recognition are provided in the lower chamber T1 , and holes are opened at positions corresponding to the lower table 24 . In addition, in the lower chamber T1, a plurality of pressurizing and UV irradiating mechanisms 40 are provided to crush and harden the UV adhesive so that the bonded substrates are not displaced. In addition, when the substrate is carried in and out, the holding claw lifting mechanism 41 is provided to prevent the bending of the substrate in the width direction, or the rotating lifting pin is used to prevent the bending of the robot and the bending of the substrate in the front and rear directions, or use The substrate lifting mechanism 43 for lifting and lowering the substrate after gluing.

在下侧台面24上,为使加压·UV照射机构40在下侧台面24内可以上下移动而设置孔。另外,加压·UV照射机构40可以兼做旋转升降销使用。另外,为使基板升降机构43可以上下移动,而在基板支撑侧分别设置槽(切口部)。在搬入及搬出基板时,使此基板升降机构43动作,使机械手可以插入基板下面侧。这些孔或者槽,因为在下腔T1上固定下侧台面24,所以只设置最小的余量即可。A hole is provided in the lower table 24 so that the pressurization/UV irradiation mechanism 40 can move up and down in the lower table 24 . In addition, the pressurization/UV irradiation mechanism 40 can also be used as a rotary lift pin. In addition, grooves (notches) are respectively provided on the substrate supporting side so that the substrate elevating mechanism 43 can move up and down. When loading and unloading the substrate, the substrate elevating mechanism 43 is operated so that the manipulator can be inserted into the lower surface of the substrate. For these holes or grooves, since the lower table top 24 is fixed to the lower chamber T1, only a minimum margin may be provided.

再有,加压·UV照射机构40、和保持爪升降机构41、及基板升降机构43分别具有贯通下腔T1的上下移动机构,在下腔T1和这些上下移动机构部之间,设置O型环,据此作为保持密封的构造。In addition, the pressurization/UV irradiation mechanism 40, the holding claw elevating mechanism 41, and the substrate elevating mechanism 43 each have a vertical movement mechanism passing through the lower chamber T1, and an O-ring is provided between the lower chamber T1 and these vertical movement mechanism parts. , thereby serving as a structure to maintain the seal.

在减压状态下基于上侧台面2的上侧基板保持机构,可以是通过静电卡盘而电气保持的机构,或者是通过粘接材料而物理保持的机构中的任意一种。在通过静电卡盘而电气保持的情况下,切断外加电压,在一定的消电时间后,通过使上侧台面2上升,可以中断基于上侧台面2的保持。另外,在通过配置在台面上的片状的粘接部件而保持的情况下,预先设置多个将上侧基板机械地推向下侧基板的销,在将销向下侧推压的状态下,通过仅使上侧台面2上升,就可以中断上侧基板的保持。The mechanism for holding the upper substrate by the upper stage 2 in the decompressed state may be either electrically held by an electrostatic chuck or physically held by an adhesive material. In the case of electrical holding by the electrostatic chuck, the applied voltage is cut off, and the holding by the upper table 2 can be interrupted by raising the upper table 2 after a certain de-energization time. In addition, in the case of holding by a sheet-shaped adhesive member arranged on the table, a plurality of pins for mechanically pushing the upper substrate to the lower substrate are provided in advance, and in the state where the pins are pressed downward , the holding of the upper substrate can be interrupted by only raising the upper mesa 2 .

在另一方减压状态下的基于下侧台面24的下侧基板保持机构也同样,可以是通过静电卡盘而电气保持的方法,或者是通过粘接部件而物理保持方法中的任意一种。例如,在上侧台面2和下侧台面24的减压状态下的吸附方法的组合,可以是将上侧台面2、下侧台面24均作为静电卡盘、或者粘接材料,或者是将上侧台面2、或者下侧台面24的任意一方作为静电卡盘,另一方作为粘接材料。象这样,通过在减压状态下将基板保持在台面上,可以确保作为基准的平坦部,维持台面间的平行,从而容易地组装基板。因此,可以均一地胶合上下基板。另外,在本实施方式中,可以将基于负压而吸引吸附的构成和基于静电而静电吸附的这双方兼用而构成。The lower substrate holding mechanism by the lower table 24 in the other decompressed state may also be electrically held by an electrostatic chuck or physically held by an adhesive member. For example, the combination of the adsorption method under the depressurized state of the upper side table 2 and the lower side table 24 can be that both the upper side table 2 and the lower side table 24 are used as electrostatic chucks or adhesive materials, or the upper side table 2 and the lower side table 24 can be used as electrostatic chucks, or the upper side table Either one of the side table 2 or the lower table 24 is used as an electrostatic chuck, and the other is used as an adhesive material. In this way, by holding the substrate on the stage under reduced pressure, a flat portion serving as a reference can be ensured, parallelism between the stages can be maintained, and the substrate can be easily assembled. Therefore, the upper and lower substrates can be bonded uniformly. In addition, in this embodiment, it is possible to combine both the configuration of suction adsorption by negative pressure and the electrostatic adsorption by static electricity.

减压腔内的减压是通过在上下任意的腔内设置的没有图示的排气孔,与真空阀以及干式泵或者涡轮分子泵的真空泵连接来进行的。另外,腔内的大气排放是通过这些也没有图示的在上下任意的腔上设置的阀,将氮等的不活跃气体或者大气导入而进行的。大气排放从对腔附着的水分少、缩短用于对腔内减压的时间的意义上看,希望是水分子含有量少的氮气等的惰性气体。The decompression in the decompression chamber is carried out by connecting with a vacuum valve and a vacuum pump of a dry pump or a turbomolecular pump through an unillustrated exhaust hole provided in an upper and lower chamber. In addition, the atmosphere in the chamber is exhausted by introducing an inert gas such as nitrogen or air through valves provided in any of the upper and lower chambers, which are not shown in the figure. The air discharge is preferably an inert gas such as nitrogen containing a small amount of water molecules in the sense that less moisture adheres to the chamber and shortens the time for depressurizing the chamber.

下面,通过构成本发明的基板组装装置,就胶合液晶板的动作进行说明。首先,将粘接剂呈框状包围液晶板的外周地涂敷成黑色矩阵状或者其附近的上侧基板,在涂敷了粘接剂的面为下侧而翻转的状态下进行配置,搭载于在位于机器人的下侧的一方的机械臂上,或是在表面上预先涂有液晶的下侧基板,以将液晶滴下面作为上侧配置的状态,而位于上侧的机器人的另一方的臂上。这样在将2片基板搭载于上下臂上的状态下,机器人向基板组装装置的前方移动。在基板组装装置的控制装置的指令中,打开上腔T2的门阀16,机器人将在下侧机械臂上翻转的上侧基板插入到腔内。Next, the operation of gluing liquid crystal panels will be described by constituting the substrate assembly apparatus of the present invention. First, apply the adhesive in a frame shape to surround the outer periphery of the liquid crystal panel in the form of a black matrix or the upper substrate in its vicinity, arrange it with the surface coated with the adhesive facing down and turn it upside down, and mount it. On one robot arm located on the lower side of the robot, or on the lower substrate on which the liquid crystal is pre-coated on the surface, the lower side of the liquid crystal drop is placed as the upper side, and the other robot located on the upper side arm. In this way, the robot moves to the front of the board assembly apparatus with the two boards mounted on the upper and lower arms. In accordance with the instruction of the control device of the substrate assembly apparatus, the gate valve 16 of the upper chamber T2 is opened, and the robot inserts the upper substrate turned over on the lower robot arm into the chamber.

若上基板插入,则根据控制装置的指令,上侧台面2下降,通过基于负压的吸引吸附,将翻转的上侧基板吸附保持在上侧台面2的下面。在机械臂的前端延伸时的挠曲较大,吸引吸附困难的情况下,使用腔内的旋转升降销,从下侧上翻支撑机械臂的前端。下侧的机械臂暂时从腔内后退,等待此后退,基板组装装置的控制装置,对在下侧台面24上的已经完成胶合的液晶板,对基板升降机构43或者保持爪升降机构41发出控制指令,将基板向上方提升。机器人再次将下侧机械臂插入到腔内的液晶板下侧,通过手提升到上方后,使其后退,将液晶板从腔内取出到外部。其后,通过控制装置的指令,基板升降机构43以及保持爪升降机构41下降。When the upper substrate is inserted, the upper table 2 is lowered according to the command of the control device, and the reversed upper substrate is sucked and held on the lower surface of the upper table 2 by suction and adsorption based on negative pressure. When the front end of the mechanical arm has a large deflection when it is extended, and it is difficult to attract and absorb, use the rotating lifting pin in the cavity to turn up and support the front end of the mechanical arm from the bottom side. The mechanical arm on the lower side retreats temporarily from the cavity, and after waiting for the retreat, the control device of the substrate assembly device sends control commands to the substrate lifting mechanism 43 or the holding claw lifting mechanism 41 for the liquid crystal panels that have been glued on the lower table 24 , lift the substrate upwards. The robot inserts the lower mechanical arm into the lower side of the liquid crystal panel in the cavity again, lifts it up by hand, makes it retreat, and takes out the liquid crystal panel from the cavity to the outside. Thereafter, the substrate elevating mechanism 43 and the holding pawl elevating mechanism 41 are lowered by a command from the control device.

接着,机器人将在上侧的机械臂上的预先涂有液晶的下侧基板插入到腔内。若下基板插入腔内,则保持爪升降机构41上升,提升下侧基板,等待机械臂的后退,将下侧基板设置在下侧台面24的上面,通过负压吸引吸附下侧基板。Next, the robot inserts the lower substrate pre-coated with liquid crystal on the upper robotic arm into the cavity. If the lower substrate is inserted into the cavity, the holding claw elevating mechanism 41 rises, lifts the lower substrate, waits for the retreat of the mechanical arm, sets the lower substrate on the lower table 24, and sucks the lower substrate through negative pressure suction.

然后,将摄象机镜头21沿垂直方向的移动轴CZ降下,测定上侧基板的基板标记位置,使用水平方向移动轴CX、CY,移动上侧基板的标记中心位置和摄象机镜头21的中心到达一致的位置。接着,降下上侧台面2,通过摄象机镜头21,测定上侧基板和下侧基板的标记位置的偏差。接着,通过没有图示的微小高度升降机构来提升滚珠轴承34,使上腔T2与在上腔侧设置的带有调整机构的碰板35一同上升,提升到密封环25与上腔T2略微接触或者不接触的位置。其后,驱动θ轴驱动马达26和Y轴驱动马达29及X轴驱动马达30,使下腔部T1向XYθ方向水平移动,进行下基板和上基板的校正标记的粗定位。Then, the camera lens 21 is lowered along the moving axis CZ in the vertical direction to measure the position of the substrate mark on the upper substrate, and the center position of the mark on the upper substrate and the position of the camera lens 21 are moved using the moving axes CX and CY in the horizontal direction. The center reaches a consistent position. Next, the upper stage 2 is lowered, and the deviation of the marking positions between the upper substrate and the lower substrate is measured through the camera lens 21 . Next, lift the ball bearing 34 through a small height lifting mechanism not shown in the figure, so that the upper chamber T2 rises together with the touch plate 35 with an adjustment mechanism provided on the upper chamber side, and lifts until the sealing ring 25 is slightly in contact with the upper chamber T2 or untouched positions. Thereafter, the θ-axis drive motor 26, the Y-axis drive motor 29, and the X-axis drive motor 30 are driven to move the lower chamber T1 horizontally in the XYθ direction to perform rough positioning of the alignment marks on the lower substrate and the upper substrate.

粗定位后,降下滚珠轴承34。于是,在上下台面上设置有静电卡盘的情况下,对静电卡盘施加电压,静电吸附基板到台面。在此状态下,关闭门阀16,使用真空泵,排出腔内的空气。在排气中,为容易地使上下基板间的气体排出,将上侧台面2提升。在腔内达到一定的减压状态后,再次降下上侧台面2,测定上下基板间的位置偏差,通过驱动马达26、马达29、马达30,使下腔T1向XYθ方向水平移动,进行下基板和上基板的校正标记的微定位。象这样,在上腔T2与下腔T1契合的状态下,在下腔向XYθ方向微小移动的情况下,为不使上腔T2移动,对在下腔T1上配置的密封环25采取措施。After rough positioning, the ball bearing 34 is lowered. Then, when electrostatic chucks are provided on the upper and lower tables, a voltage is applied to the electrostatic chucks to electrostatically attract the substrate to the tables. In this state, close the gate valve 16, and use a vacuum pump to discharge the air in the cavity. During exhausting, the upper table 2 is lifted up in order to easily exhaust the gas between the upper and lower substrates. After reaching a certain decompression state in the chamber, lower the upper table 2 again, measure the positional deviation between the upper and lower substrates, and drive the motor 26, motor 29, and motor 30 to move the lower chamber T1 horizontally in the XYθ direction to perform the lower substrate and micropositioning of the calibration marks on the substrate. In this way, in the state where the upper chamber T2 and the lower chamber T1 are engaged, measures are taken for the seal ring 25 arranged on the lower chamber T1 so that the upper chamber T2 does not move when the lower chamber slightly moves in the XYθ direction.

另外,在上述基板的保持方法中,在大气中,在使基于负压的吸附力作用的状态下,是使静电吸附力作用于基板,这种情况下,有必要在静电卡盘上施加使所施加的电压在基板和静电卡盘之间不产生放电现象的小电压,从而根据减压状态提高电压。因此,也可以从真空腔内成为规定的减压状态开始,对静电卡盘施加规定的电压。In addition, in the holding method of the above-mentioned substrate, in the air, in the state where the suction force based on the negative pressure is applied, the electrostatic adsorption force is applied to the substrate. In this case, it is necessary to apply the The applied voltage generates a small voltage without a discharge phenomenon between the substrate and the electrostatic chuck, thereby increasing the voltage according to the decompression state. Therefore, a predetermined voltage may be applied to the electrostatic chuck after the inside of the vacuum chamber becomes a predetermined depressurized state.

图3是表示在本实施方式中所使用的密封环25的截面形状的一例。即,在本实施方式中所使用的密封环25是使用与上下方向的弹力相比,其前后左右方向为小弹力形状(图3的(a)或者(b)的形状)的密封环25。而且,因为上腔T2如前所述,上下方向可以移动,前后左右方向(水平方向)几乎不能动地安装在滚珠花键导向装置13上,所以即使使下腔T1在水平方向微小移动,也不能带动上腔移动,从而可以使上下的台面位置重合。另外,本密封环的形状不限于图3的形状,可以说只要可发挥前述的特性,任意形状均可。FIG. 3 shows an example of the cross-sectional shape of the seal ring 25 used in this embodiment. That is, the seal ring 25 used in this embodiment is a seal ring 25 having a shape (a shape of (a) or (b) of FIG. 3 ) with less spring force in the front, rear, left and right directions than the spring force in the vertical direction. Furthermore, since the upper chamber T2 is movable in the vertical direction as described above, and is mounted on the ball spline guide 13 so as to be almost immovable in the front, rear, left, and right directions (horizontal direction), even if the lower chamber T1 is slightly moved in the horizontal direction, It cannot drive the upper cavity to move, so that the positions of the upper and lower tables can be coincident. In addition, the shape of the seal ring is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 3 , and any shape may be used as long as the aforementioned characteristics can be exhibited.

在完成微定位后,一边测定负载传感器22的值,一边进一步使上侧台面2下降,进行基板的加压·胶合。加压力到达压碎粘接剂的规定值后,结束加压,通过加压·UV照射机构40,一边对在基板的临时固定位置上预先涂敷的临时固定用的UV粘接剂进行加压,一边照射UV光,为不使基板位置偏差,而进行临时固定。After the micro-positioning is completed, while measuring the value of the load cell 22, the upper table 2 is further lowered to pressurize and bond the substrates. After the pressing force reaches the specified value for crushing the adhesive, the pressurization is terminated, and the UV adhesive for temporary fixing applied in advance on the temporary fixing position of the substrate is pressurized by the pressurization and UV irradiation mechanism 40. , while irradiating UV light, temporarily fix the substrate so that the position of the substrate does not deviate.

临时固定结束后,提升加压·UV照射机构40。在上侧台面2是利用基于静电卡盘的减压状态下的吸附的情况下,切断电压,利用离子发生器17除去静电。在等待经过了消电时间后,提升上侧台面2。为谋求缩短消电时间,也可以在电源供给线上通过转换开关使其接地。在上侧台面2是利用粘接的情况下,通过多个销,将上侧基板机械地推向下侧基板,在将销推压到下侧的状态下,通过仅提升上侧台面2来中断对上侧基板的保持。After the temporary fixation is completed, the pressurization and UV irradiation mechanism 40 is lifted. When the upper table 2 is adsorbed in a decompressed state by an electrostatic chuck, the voltage is cut off, and the static electricity is removed by the ion generator 17 . After waiting for the power-off time to elapse, the upper table 2 is lifted. In order to shorten the power dissipation time, it is also possible to ground the power supply line through a changeover switch. In the case where the upper table 2 is bonded, the upper substrate is mechanically pushed to the lower substrate by a plurality of pins, and only the upper table 2 is lifted while the pins are pushed to the lower side. The holding of the upper substrate is interrupted.

其后,通过设置在腔上的阀,将氮等的惰性气体、或者大气导入腔内,对大气开放。接着,开放门阀16,进行基板的搬入以及搬出。Thereafter, an inert gas such as nitrogen or air is introduced into the chamber through a valve provided on the chamber, and the chamber is opened to the atmosphere. Next, the gate valve 16 is opened, and substrates are carried in and out.

有关基板组装装置的腔内,在进行清洗等的维护的情况下,将安装在上腔部T2的缸驱动杆51,在加压基础板7降下的状态下,插入加压基础板7和安装在上腔T2的连接部件52之间,在此状态下,使用驱动马达10,与上侧台面2一同向Z轴方向提升。这样,上腔T2与上侧台面2通过连接机构结合,因为使用用于对上侧台面2加压的驱动马达10,可以提升上腔T2,所以没有必要另行设置提升上腔T2用的驱动机构,可以谋求装置的简单化。另外,据此在腔开放的状态下,可以进行上下台面的维护。In the cavity of the substrate assembly device, when performing maintenance such as cleaning, the cylinder drive rod 51 installed in the upper cavity part T2 is inserted into the pressurized base plate 7 and installed in the state where the pressurized base plate 7 is lowered. Between the connection members 52 of the upper chamber T2, in this state, the drive motor 10 is used to lift up the upper table 2 in the Z-axis direction. In this way, the upper chamber T2 is combined with the upper table 2 through the connection mechanism, because the upper chamber T2 can be lifted by using the drive motor 10 for pressurizing the upper table 2, so it is not necessary to separately provide a driving mechanism for lifting the upper chamber T2. , the simplification of the device can be achieved. In addition, according to this, maintenance of the upper and lower tables can be performed in a state where the cavity is opened.

如上述那样,在本发明中,由于其构成是在基板组装时,在上下腔一体化的状态下进行一连串的作业,在规定量的基板胶合结束、进行装置的维护时,才进行上下腔的分离,所以在可以谋求缩短胶合时间的同时,也可谋求缩短维护时间。As described above, in the present invention, since the structure is such that a series of operations are performed in a state where the upper and lower chambers are integrated when the substrate is assembled, the upper and lower chambers are only connected when a predetermined amount of substrates are glued together and the maintenance of the device is performed. Separation, so while the gluing time can be shortened, the maintenance time can also be shortened.

根据上述说明的本发明的基板胶合装置,因为是使下台面与上腔为一体,通过设置在腔外侧的驱动机构进行位置对合等,所以可以尽量减少在腔上设置的孔,可以在稳定保持减压状态的状态下,进行高精度的胶合,且因为是作为使上腔可以上下移动的构成,所以真空腔内的维护保养也变得容易。According to the substrate gluing device of the present invention described above, because the lower table surface and the upper cavity are integrated, and the position alignment is performed by the driving mechanism arranged outside the cavity, the holes provided on the cavity can be reduced as much as possible, and the stability can be achieved. High-precision gluing is performed while maintaining a decompressed state, and since the upper chamber can be moved up and down, maintenance in the vacuum chamber becomes easy.
