Next, as shown in Fig. 5(a), in the loading cassette 14, the box 2 is moved in the direction of the unpacker 23, and the door 4 is held in the closer 26 of the unpacker 23. Once the closer 26 holds the door 4, the door 4 is detached (disassembled) from the wafer entry and exit 3 by the retraction of the moving table 25. Then, as shown in Fig. 5 (b), the closer 26 is detached from the position of the wafer inlet and outlet 3 by the lowering of the moving table 25 in the preload chamber 20. Once the wafer entry and exit 3 is opened, as shown in Fig. 5(b), the jig 2 9 of the survey -17-200832592 device 27 is inserted into the wafer exit 3 by the linear actuator 28. The detecting element 30 of the surveying device 27 is the wafer 1 in the mapping box 2. Once the predetermined survey is completed, the clamps 29 of the surveying device 27 are returned from the wafer access 3 to the original standby position by the linear actuators 28. Once the clamp 29 returns to the standby position, the closer 62 moves to the position of the wafer inlet and outlet 3 by the rise of the moving table 25. Then, as shown in Fig. 5(a), the closer 26 mounts the door 4 to the wafer inlet/outlet 3 (mounted) by the advancement of the moving table 25. When the mapping information read by the mapping device 27 is different from the mapping information previously provided in relation to the phase (the phase of the δ 取 封), the box 2 that is found to be different will be borrowed from the loading cassette 14 The in-engine transfer device, for example, the AGV 9 shown in Fig. 1, is immediately transferred to the wafer or the previous project. Thereby, the step can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where the tank 2 is carried into the main casing 1 1 , in particular, after the mounting table 43 or the rotary frame 3 1 is returned to the loading/unloading portion. Further, it is possible to suppress the increase in the wafer mounting time to the boat 47 and the increase in the wafer processing start standby time. When the mapping information read by the aforementioned mapping device 27 coincides with the mapping information previously provided by the box 2, as shown in FIG. 6, the box 2 supported by the holding station 18 utilizes the box elevator. 15 5 is raised from the loading cassette 14 to the height of the tank loading/unloading port 12. Specifically, the holding table 18 is raised above the sealing frame 2 1 by -18-200832592, and the height of the box 2 picked up from the lower side by the box conveying mechanism 35b is raised once the box 2 is raised. When the height of the tank loading/unloading port 12 is reached, the tank loading/unloading port 12 is opened by the front shutter 13 . Then, the tank transport mechanism 35b is submerged into the tank loading/unloading port 12. As shown in Fig. 6, the tank 2 supported by the holding table 18 is picked up from the lower side by the tank transport mechanism 35b of the tank transporting device 35. That is, the tank 2 is transferred between the holding table 8 and the tank transport mechanism. The tank 2 picked up by the tank transport mechanism 35b is carried into the main casing 1 1 from the tank loading/unloading port 1 2 . That is, the case 2 is carried out from the outside of the main casing 1 1 via the unloader 23 or the upper side of the sealed casing 2 1 by the tank transport mechanism. Further, it may be carried in from the outside of the main casing 1 1 across the unpacker 23 or the sealed casing 21. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the box 2 that has been carried in is automatically transported to the frame plate 3 designated by the rotary box frame 3 by the box conveying device 35, and is handed over. At this time, the shelf plate 3 3 The support movement pin 34 is inserted into the positioning hole 5 at the lower side of the case 2, whereby the case 2 is formed in a state of being held by the frame plate 3, and the case 2 is temporarily stored in the frame plate 3 3 . Then, the tank 2 is transported from the deck plate 3 to one of the unpackers 42 by the tank transporting device 35, and transferred to the placing table 43. At this time, the wafer loading/unloading port 41 of the unpacker 42 is closed by the offline structure 44, and the cleaning chamber is filled with the clean air. -19- 200832592 In the preparation room 4 5 is filled with nitrogen as clean air. In this state, the oxygen concentration of the preliminary chamber 45 is, for example, 20 p p m or less, which is much lower than the oxygen concentration inside the main casing 1 1 (atmospheric environment). Further, the tank 2 carried into the main casing 1 1 from the tank loading/unloading port 12 by the conveying mechanism 35b may be directly conveyed to the unpacker 42 provided in the wafer loading/unloading port 41. The case 2 placed on the mounting table 43 is an opening edge portion of the wafer loading/unloading port 41 where the opening side end surface is pressed to the front wall 40a. Then, the door 4 is detached by the detaching mechanism 44, and the box 2 is opened to the wafer inlet and outlet 3. At this time, since the drawing has been mapped in the loading port 14, the mapping of the wafer 1 group in the box 2 can be omitted. Once the bin 2 is opened by the unpacker 42, the wafer transfer device 46a picks up the wafer 1 from the bin 2 via the wafer access port 3 using the dice 46c. Once the wafer 1 is picked up by the die 46c, the wafer transfer device 46a transports the wafer 1 to the groove alignment device (not shown). The groove alignment device is positioned to align the wafer 1. After the alignment, the wafer transfer device 46 picks up the wafer 1 from the groove alignment device by the die 46c and transports it to the boat 47. The wafer transfer device 46 charges the transferred wafer 1 to the carrying boat 47. The wafer transfer device 46a after the wafer 1 is transferred to the carrying boat 47 is returned to the tank 2, and the next wafer 1 is attached to the carrying boat 47. In the operation of the unpacker 42 of the one (upper or lower stage) by the wafer transfer mechanism 46 to mount the wafer 1 to the carrying boat 47, the opener 42 of the other (lower or upper stage) is borrowed. The other transport box 2 is transported from the rotary -20-200832592 box frame 31 by the tank transport device 35. In the other unpacker 42 of the other side, the opening operation of the box 2 of the unpacker 42 is simultaneously performed. Once the pre-specified number of wafers 1 are mounted on the carrying boat 47, the lower end portion of the processing furnace 51 that is closed by a furnace mouth shutter (not shown) is passed through the mouth of the furnace. The shutter is open. Next, the carrier boat 47 holding the wafer group 1 is lifted by the boat lifter 48, and is carried in the processing furnace 51 (loading the boat) 0

在此,說明有關利用處理爐51在晶圓1上藉由CVD 法來形成薄膜的方法。 另外,在以下的説明中,構成處理爐5 1的各部之動 作是藉由控制器77來控制。 一旦複數片的晶圓1被裝塡(wafer charge)於載舟 4 7,則如圖4所示,保持複數片的晶圓1之載舟4 7會藉 由載舟升降機48來舉起’搬入至處理室57(載舟載入) 〇 在此狀態下,加封蓋50是形成隔著〇型環50a來密 封岐管5 9的下端之狀態。 處理室5 7内是藉由排氣裝置6 8來排氣,而使能夠形 成所望的壓力(真空度)。此時’處理室57内的壓力是 以壓力感側器66來測定’根據該被測定的壓力,回饋控 制壓力調整裝置67 ° 又,處理室57内是藉由加熱器52來加熱,而使能夠 形成所望的温度。此時’以處理室5 7内能夠形成所望的 -21 - 200832592 温度分布之方式,根據温度感側器7 4所檢測出的温度資 訊,回饋控制往加熱器5 2的通電狀況。 接著,藉由旋轉機構70來旋轉載舟47,藉此旋轉晶 圓1。 其次,從氣體供給源63供給且以MFC 62來控制成所 望的流量之氣體會流動於氣體供給管6 1而由噴嘴60來導 入至處理室5 7内。 所被導入的氣體會上昇於處理室57内,從內管56的 上端開口流出至筒狀空間58而由排氣管65排出。 氣體是在通過處理室5 7内時與晶圓1的表面接觸。 此時,在晶圓1的表面上藉由熱 CVD反應來堆積( deposition)薄膜。 一旦經過所被預先設定的處理時間,則會從氣體供給 源63經由氣體供給管61來供給惰性氣體,處理室57内 會被置換成惰性氣體,且處理室5 7内的壓力會被恢復成 常壓。 然後,加封蓋50會藉由載舟升降機48而下降,岐管 59的下端會被開□,且處理完成晶圓1會在保持於載舟 47的狀態下從岐管59的下端搬出至製程管54的外部(載 舟卸載)。 載舟卸載的處理完成晶圓1會藉由晶圓移載裝置46a 來從載舟47取出(wafer discharge ),回到預先被搬送至 開箱器42的空箱2。 一旦所定片數的處理完成晶圓1被收納,則門4會藉 -22- 200832592 由開箱器42來裝著於箱2的晶圓出入口 3。 將晶圓出入口 3閉塞的箱2會藉由箱搬送裝置3 5來 自動地搬送至旋轉式箱架3 1所指定的架板3 3而交接。 箱2會暫時地被保管。然後,一旦前遮擋板1 3開啓 ,則箱搬送裝置3 5會將箱2從架板3 3搬送至箱搬入搬出 口 1 2,在箱升降機1 5的保持台1 8上潛入箱搬入搬出口 1 2而交接。 另外,收納處理完成晶圓1的箱2有時會從開箱器4 2 藉由箱搬送裝置35來直接地搬送至箱搬入搬出口 12。 一旦在保持台1 8上交接箱2,則前遮擋板1 3會關閉 。並且,箱升降機15的軸17會藉由昇降驅動裝置16來 下降至裝載埠1 4上。 下降至裝載埠14上的箱2會藉由工程内搬送裝置、 例如圖1所示的AGV9來搬送至所定的工程。 若根據上述實施形態,則可取得其次的效果。 1 )在箱會藉由工程内搬送裝置來搬入的裝載埠設置測繪 裝置,藉此可立即從裝載埠返送被發現藉由測繪裝置所讀 取的實際測繪資訊與所預先提供的測繪資訊不同之箱。因 此,相較於在框體内的開箱器設置測繪裝置的以往情況時 ’可省略將箱搬入框體内後回到裝載埠後返送的費時費工 ,該部份可縮短從晶圓處理開始時期被發現不同的時間點 延遲。 2 )在抓住收納容器的上部時,收納容器搬送部的操作( handling )部需要昇降機能(伸縮機能)及夾持(grip ) -23- 200832592 機能(水平方向伸縮機能)。爲了使收納容器搬送部的操 作部具有各種的機能,收納容器搬送部本身需要強度,因 此收納容器搬送部會大型化。並且,因爲構造會形成複雜 ,所以成本高或容易發生不良情況。而且,在夾持不當時 ,使收納容器落下的情況亦多。甚至’夾持所造成之 收納容器搬送時間的長期化、操作部的大型化所造成之保 管架的大型化、需要上抓取的空間等所造成之裝置高度 變高等、缺點多。 該點,藉由在裝載埠的上方設置箱搬入搬出口,且設 置使由下保持箱的保持台昇降於裝載埠與箱搬入搬出口之 間的箱升降機,可利用箱搬送裝置來由下側拾取箱,因此 相較於抓住箱的上部來進行操作時,可使操作構造形成簡 單且小型。因此,可謀求CVD裝置的小型輕量化、單純 化、高速化、安全化及空間的活用化。 3 )藉由在利用箱升降機來昇降的保持台設置支承運動銷 ,可將保持台作爲有關各處的箱載置部的搬送基準。因此 ,可謀求搬送基準的統一化。 4)藉由分成箱升降機及箱搬送裝置,可與裝載埠之箱的 昇降動作同時,使箱搬送裝置作動至箱交接位置之前待機 。亦即,可同時並行處理,因此可使總搬送時間縮短。 5 )由於箱升降機可使保持台上昇至藉由箱搬送裝置來從 下側拾取箱的高度,因此與操作箱的上部時比較之下,可 安全地交接箱。 6 )由於可在使用惰性氣體來清浄化位於裝載埠的箱内的 -24- 200832592 晶圓之預載室内進行測繪,因此可防止汚染及自然氧化膜 形成。 圖7是表示本發明的第二實施形態之批次式CVD裝 置的側面剖面圖。 本實施形態與上述實施形態主要相異的點是開箱器只 設置於裝載埠的點。 亦即,如圖7所示,裝載埠14是設置於形成預備室 45的副框體40的正面壁(區劃壁)40a,在該正面壁40a 設置有開箱器83。在形成開箱器83的預載室80之密閉框 體8 1的背面壁8 1 a開設有晶圓搬入搬出口 9 1,且設置有 開閉該晶圓搬入搬出口 9 1的門機構92。 設置於預備室45内的晶圓移載機構46是構成基板搬 送裝置。當門機構92開放晶圓搬入搬出口 9 1時,晶圓移 載機構46是在箱2與載舟47之間搬送晶圓1。 載舟升降機48是將載舟47搬入至鄰接於預備室45 的處理爐51的處理室57,或將載舟47從處理室51搬出 〇 在鄰接於預備室45的頂棚面之保管室1 lb設置有保 管架31A及箱搬送裝置35。 在主框體11的正面壁lla中面向於保管室lib的部 位開設有箱搬入搬出口 1 2。前遮擋板1 3是在於開啓或關 閉箱搬入搬出口 1 2。 與第一實施形態的開箱器4 2同樣,在預載室8 〇設置 有測繪裝置84。測繪裝置84可對門出入口 82移動於前後 -25- 200832592 (垂直方向)及上下(平行方向)。 其次,說明以上構成的開箱器的作用。 另外,控制器77是在於控制以下的作動。 如圖7所示,工程内搬送裝置經由正面開口 i 4C或頂 棚開口 14B,搬入裝載埠14時,箱2是被載置於箱升降 機1 5的保持台1 8。 此時’突設於保持台1 8的支承運動銷1 9會被嵌入箱 2的下面的定位孔5,藉此箱2是形成被定位於保持台18 的狀態。 其次’在裝載瑋1 4中,箱2會被移動於開箱器83的 方向。開箱器83的閉合器86會保持門4。 一旦保持門4,則閉合器8 6會藉由移動台8 5的後退 來將門4從晶圓出入口 3及門出入口 82卸下。然後,閉 合器86會藉由移動台85來下降於預載室80内,藉此自 晶圓出入口 3及門出入口 82的位置脫離。 一旦晶圓出入口 3被開放,則測繪裝置84的檢測元 件會被插入至晶圓出入口 3 (參照圖5 ( b ))。測繪裝置 8 4會藉由檢測元件來測繪箱2内的晶圓1。 一旦所定的測繪完了,則測繪裝置8 4會使檢測元件 從晶圓出入口 3恢復至原本的待機位置。 然後,閉合器86會隨著移動台85的上昇來移動至晶 圓出入口 3的位置。然後,閉合器86會藉由移動台85的 前進來將門4安裝於晶圓出入口 3及門出入口 82。 當藉由該測繪裝置所讀取的實際測繪資訊、與有關該 -26- 200832592 箱2所預先提供的測繪資訊不同時,所被發現不同的箱2 會從裝載埠14藉由工程内搬送裝置、例如圖1所示的 AGV9來立即搬送至晶圓編成工程或之前的工程等。 當藉由前述的測繪裝置所讀取的實際測繪資訊、與有 關該箱2所預先提供的測繪資訊一致時,箱升降機1 5會 使藉由保持台1 8所支撐的箱2從裝載埠1 4上昇至箱搬入 搬出口 1 2的高度。 一旦箱2被上昇至箱搬入搬出口 12的高度,則前遮 擋板1 3會開放箱搬入搬出口 1 2。 接著,箱搬送裝置3 5的箱搬送機構3 5 b會拾取藉由 保持台1 8所支撐的箱2。 箱搬送機構3 5 b會將拾取後的箱2從箱搬入搬出口 1 2 搬入至主框體11内。 箱搬送裝置35會將搬入後的箱2搬送至保管架31A ,自動地交接至所被指定的架板3 3 A。 箱2會暫時地被保管於架板3 3。 然後,以和前述相反的程序,箱搬送裝置3 5及箱升 降機1 5會將箱2從保管架3 1 A搬送至裝載埠1 4。 此時,在預備室45中有清潔空氣流通充滿著。 其次,在裝載埠14中,箱2會被移動於開箱器8 3的 方向。開箱器8 3的閉合器8 6是在保持門4。 一旦保持門4,則閉合器86會藉由移動台85的後退 來將門4從晶圓出入口 3卸下。然後,閉合器86會藉由 移動台85來下降於預載室80内,從晶圓出入口 3及門出 -27- 200832592 入口 82的位置脫離。 一旦晶圓出入口 3被開放,則晶圓搬入搬出口 91會 藉由門機構92來開放。 此時,箱内的晶圓的測繪已經完成,所以可省略。 一旦晶圓出入口 3及晶圓搬入搬出口 9 1被開放,則 晶圓移載裝置46a會藉由鑷子46c來將晶圓1從箱2經由 晶圓出入口 3或門出入口 82及晶圓搬入搬出口 9 1拾取。 晶圓移載裝置4 6 a會將拾取後的晶圓1搬送至刻槽對準裝 置。刻槽對準裝置是在於使晶圓1對準刻槽。刻槽對準後 ,晶圓移載裝置46a會將晶圓1從刻槽對準裝置藉由鑷子 46c拾取。晶圓移載裝置46a會將拾取後的晶圓1搬送至 載舟47,裝塡(charging)至載舟47。 將晶圓1交接至載舟47的晶圓移載裝置46a會回到 箱2,將其次的晶圓1裝塡至載舟47。 另外,亦可不在保管架3 1 A進行暫時保管箱2的步驟 ,晶圓移載裝置46a藉由鑷子46c來將晶圓1從箱2直接 搬送。亦即,測繪完了,測繪裝置的檢測元件會從晶圓出 入口 3回復到原來的待機位置後或測繪中使晶圓搬入搬出 口 91開放。晶圓移載裝置46a是在晶圓搬入搬出口 91插 入鑷子46c來從箱2拾取晶圓1。 由於以後的步驟是與上述實施形態同樣,因此省略説 明。 若利用本實施形態’則只要將開箱器設置於裝載埠即 可,因此可寄與空間效率提升(台面面積縮小化)、生產 -28- 200832592 能力提升(可減少箱的移動範圍)。 圖8是表示本發明的第三實施形態之批次 置的側面剖面圖。 本實施形態與上述第二實施形態相異的點 住箱的上部來操作的點、設置一即使在箱内晶 是可接受來自頂棚走行型構内搬送裝置(以下^ 的箱之箱平台機構的點。 亦即,如圖8所示,抓住箱的上部來操作 置(以下稱爲抓取式箱搬送裝置)100是在鄰 45的頂棚面之保管室lib中與保管架31A —起 抓取式箱搬送裝置100是具備:箱升降機 箱升降機101來昇降的箱搬送機構102、及藉 構1 0 2來移動的夾持部1 0 3。夾持部1 0 3可伸

面的定位孔5,藉此箱2是形成被定位於保持台1 8的狀態 〇 在裝載埠1 4中,測繪裝置是在於測繪箱内的晶圓( 參照第一實施形態及第二實施形態)。 在該測繪步驟中,當藉由測繪裝置所讀取的實際測繪 資訊、與有關該箱2所預先提供的測繪資訊不同時,所被 發現不同的箱2會從裝載埠14藉由OHT110來立即搬送 至晶圓編成工程或之前的工程等。 當藉由測繪裝置所讀取的實際測繪資訊、與有關該箱 2所預先提供的測繪資訊一致時,前遮擋板1 3會開放箱搬 入搬出口 1 2,箱升降機1 0 1會使箱搬送機構1 02下降至箱 搬入搬出口 1 2的對向位置。 接著,箱搬送機構102會使夾持部103潛入箱搬入搬 出口 1 2,而使移動於箱2的正上。 其次,箱搬送機構1 〇 2會使夾持部1 〇 3下降。夾持部 1 0 3會伸長至下方,而從上夾持箱2的帽簷部6。 -30- 200832592 一旦夾持箱2的帽簷部6,則夾持部1 0 3會縮短至上 方而吊起箱2,且箱升降機1 0 1會使箱搬送機構1 〇2上昇 至與箱搬入搬出口 12對應的高度。 箱搬送機構1 02會將吊起後的箱2從箱搬入搬出口 1 2 搬入至主框體11的箱保管室lib内。 抓取式箱搬送裝置100會將所被搬入的箱2搬送至保 管架31A,自動交接至所被指定的架板33A。 箱2會暫時被保管。 然後,以和前述相反的程序,抓取式箱搬送裝置100 會從保管架3 1 A將箱2搬送至裝載埠1 4。 例如,在測繪步驟中當別的箱2藉由OHT 1 1 0搬送而 來時,箱平台機構1 0 5會藉由滑板1 〇 7來從Ο Η T 1 1 0接受 該箱2,以滑板1 〇7暫時保管。 亦即,如圖8假像線所示,箱平台機構1 〇5是使滑板 1 〇 7滑動來關閉開口部 1 〇 6,而藉由滑板 1 〇 7來接受 ΟΗΤ1 1〇的箱2。亦即,滑板107是一時發揮保管架的任 務。 然後,從滑板1 07移動箱2至裝載埠1 4的保持台1 8 時’在箱搬送機構1 02從滑板1 07舉起箱2的狀態下,箱 平台機構105會使滑板107滑動而開啓開口部106。接著 ’箱搬送機構1 02會使舉起後的箱2通過開口部1 06來載 置於裝載埠1 4的保持台1 8。 若根據本實施形態,則除了前述第二實施形態的效果 以外’還可取得其次的效果。 -31 - 200832592 在測繪步驟中當箱藉由OHT搬送而來時,箱平台機 構會藉由該滑板來從OHT接受該箱,藉此可暫時保管。 圖9是表示本發明的第四實施形態之批次式c V D裝 置的側面剖面圖。 本實施形態與上述第一實施形態相異的點是具備抓住 箱2的帽簷部6來搬送的箱搬送裝置(以下稱爲抓取式箱 搬送裝置)2 0 0的點。 亦即,如圖9所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置2 0 0是設置於 箱保管室1 1 b。抓取式箱搬送裝置200是可在抓住帽簷部 6的狀態下,經由箱搬入搬出口 1 2,在保持台1 8與箱保 管室1 1 b内之間搬送箱2。 抓取式箱搬送裝置200是具備:箱升降機201、藉由 箱升降機201來昇降的箱搬送機構202、及藉由箱搬送機 構202來移動的夾持部203。就夾持部203而言,有伸縮 於水平方向來抓住帽簷部6的型態、及未具備伸縮於水平 方向的機構,形成大略]的字型,僅鉤於帽簷部的鉤型態 、以及具備伸縮於鉛直方向的機構的型態。 抓取式箱搬送裝置200是藉由控制器77來控制。 其次,數例説明以上構成的抓取式箱搬送裝置的運用 方法。 在以下的説明中,控制器77是在於控制抓取式箱搬 送裝置200、箱升降機15、前遮擋板13等的作動。 圖10是表示運用方法的第一例。 如圖1 0 ( a )所示,箱升降機1 5是藉由昇降驅動裝置 -32- 200832592 1 6來使軸1 7伸長,使支撐箱2的保持台1 8上昇至箱2的 底面比基準高度204更高的位置。與前述的箱升降機15 的動作同時,箱升降機2 0 1會以夾持部2 0 3的高度能夠形 成與帽簷部6的高度同高度之方式來使箱搬送機構202、 夾持部203昇降。 另外,基準高度204是箱搬入搬入口 12(參照圖9) 的下端的高度,至少密閉框體2 1的上端的高度位置以上 的高度位置。比預載室20的上端的高度位置更高的高度 位置° 前遮擋板1 3係開放箱搬入搬出口 1 2 (參照圖9 )。 如圖1 0 ( b )所不’箱搬送機構2 0 2會伸長,從箱保 管室1 1 b内經由箱搬入搬出口 1 2,水平移動至位於主框體 1 1外的夾持部2 0 3 ’藉此使夾持部2 0 3換在帽簷部6之下 〇 如圖1 〇 ( C )所示,一旦箱升降機2 0 1使箱搬送機構 202上昇’則夾持部203會從保持台18上吊起箱2。 如圖10 ( d )所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會使箱搬 送機構202縮短,而令箱2搬入至箱保管室1 lb内。 另一方面’箱升降機15會藉由昇降驅動裝置16來使 軸17縮短,而令保持台18下降至裝載璋14上。 然後,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會將箱2搬送至旋轉式 箱架3 1,交接至予以指定的架板3 3。 若根據該第一例,則夾持部203只要鉤到帽簷部6即 可。因此,夾持部203不需要伸縮於水平方向及鉛直方向 -33- 200832592 的機構,其構造及作動形成簡單。其結果,可謀求低成本 化、省空間化或運用時間的縮短化。 圖11是表示運用方法的第二例。 如圖1 1 ( a )所示,箱升降機1 5是藉由昇降驅動裝置 1 6來使軸1 7伸長,使支撐箱2的保持台1 8上昇至箱的底 面比基準高度204更下的位置,亦即帽簷部6比基準高度 204更上的位置。 與前述的箱升降機15的動作同時,箱升降機201是 以夾持部203的高度能夠形成與帽簷部6的高度同高度之 方式來使箱搬送機構202、夾持部203昇降。 前遮擋板1 3係開放箱搬入搬出口 1 2 (參照圖9 )。 如圖1 1 ( b )所示,箱搬送機構202會伸長,從箱保 管室1 1 b内經由箱搬入搬出口 1 2,水平移動至位於主框體 1 1外的夾持部203,藉此使夾持部203換至帽簷部6之下 〇 如圖π ( C )所示,一但箱升降機201使箱搬送機構 202上昇,則夾持部203會從保持台18上吊起箱2。 如圖1 1 ( d )所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會使箱搬 送機構202縮短,令箱2搬入至箱保管室1 lb内。 另一方面,箱升降機1 5會藉由昇降驅動裝置1 6來使 軸17縮短,而令保持台18下降至裝載埠14上。 然後,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會將箱2搬送至旋轉式 箱架3 1,交接至予以指定的架板3 3。 相較於第一例,雖需要藉由箱升降機2 0 1來使箱2昇 -34- 200832592 降於保持台1 8與箱搬入搬出口 1 2的高度之間的動作及動 作時間的點較差,但在此第二例中,同樣只要夾持部203 鉤到帽簷部6即可。因此,夾持部2 0 3不需要伸縮於水平 方向及鉛直方向的機構,其構造及作動形成簡單。其結果 ,可謀求低成本化、省空間化或運用時間的縮短化。 圖12及圖13是表示運用方法的第三例。 如圖1 2 ( a )所示,箱升降機1 5會藉由昇降驅動裝置 1 6來使軸1 7伸長,令支撐箱2的保持台1 8上昇至帽簷部 6形成基準高度204正下的位置。與前述箱升降機15的動 作同時,箱升降機201會以夾持部203的高度能夠形成對 向於箱搬入搬出口 12的高度之方式來使箱搬送機構202、 夾持部203昇降。 前遮擋板1 3係開放箱搬入搬出口 1 2 (參照圖9 )。 如圖12 ( b )所示’一旦箱搬送機構202潛入箱搬入 搬出口 12,則夾持部203會位於帽簷部6的正上方。 如圖12 ( c )所示,一旦箱升降機201使箱搬送機構 2 0 2下降,則夾持部2 0 3會下降至帽簷部6。夾持部2 0 3 是伸長於水平方向。 如圖12 ( d )所示,夾持部2 0 3是縮短於水平方向, 換至帽簷部6之下。 如圖13 ( a)所示,一旦箱升降機201使箱搬送機構 2 02上昇,則夾持部2 0 3會從保持台1 8之上吊起箱2。箱 升降機201是使箱搬送機構202至少上昇至箱2的底面比 基準高度更上的局度。 -35- 200832592 如圖1 3 ( b )所示,抓取式箱搬送裝置2 0 0會使箱搬 送機構202縮短,而令箱2搬入至箱保管室lib内。 另一方面,箱升降機1 5會藉由昇降驅動裝置i 6來使 軸1 7縮短,而令保持台1 8下降至裝載埠1 4上。 然後,抓取式箱搬送裝置200會將箱2搬送至旋轉式 箱架3 1,交接至予以指定的架板3 3。 若根據此第三例,則相較於第一例、第二例,雖需要 藉由箱升降機201來使箱2昇降於保持台1 8與箱搬入搬 出口 1 2的高度之間的動作及動作時間、及需要在夾持部 203水平方向伸縮的機構的點較差,但因爲夾持部203不 需要伸縮於鉛直方向的機構,其構造及作動形成簡單。其 結果,可謀求低成本化、省空間化或運用時間的縮短化。 第四實施形態是具備位於裝載埠的箱升降機及抓取式 箱搬送裝置,因此在裝載埠之保持台的昇降動作中,抓取 式箱搬送裝置可進行將其他的箱搬送至旋轉式箱架或副框 體的開箱器等其他的動作。因此,可提升抓取式箱搬送裝 置的操業率。 並且’藉由分成相升降機及抓取式箱搬送裝置,可與 裝載埠之箱的上昇動作同時,使抓取式箱搬送裝置作動至 箱交接位置前,而使待機。亦即,可同時並行處理,因此 可使總搬送時間縮短。 同樣,藉由同時實施抓取式箱搬送裝置的上昇與箱升 降機的下降,箱的交接時間亦可縮短。 另外,第四實施形態的運用方法可適用於前述第一實 - 36- 200832592 施形態及第二實施形態。適用時,可取得與前述第一實施 形態及第二實施形態同樣的效果。 圖1 4是表示開箱器的較佳實施例的側面剖面圖。 圖15是其分解立體圖。 如圖1 4所示,在密閉框體2 1的上面壁連接氮氣體供 給線路2 1A的一端,在密閉框體21的下面壁連接排氣線 路2 1 B的一端。氮氣體供給線路2 1 A是將氮氣體2 1 C從 吹出口往下吹出至預載室20内。排氣線路2 1 B是對預載 室20内進行排氣。 如圖14及圖1 5所示,在預載室2 0内的上端部,格 柵(Louver) 21D會被鋪設於與氮氣體供給線路21A的吹 出口對向的位置。格柵2 1 D是構成使從氮氣體供給線路 2 1 A的吹出口吹出的氮氣體2 1 C的流向偏向的偏向具。格 柵21D是朝門出入口 22傾斜。藉由此傾斜,格柵21 D可 使氮氣體流朝門出入口 22偏向。 其次,說明以上構成的開箱器的作用及效果。 由於氮氣體供給線路2 1 A會被連接至預載室20的上 端,排氣線路21B會被配置於下端,因此預載室20内的 氮氣體流是形成下流。下流的氮氣體2 1 C可有效地排出預 載室2 0内的塵埃及有機物等的異物。亦即,下流的氮氣 體2 1 C可防範異物附著於晶圓1,或侵入箱2。就預載室 20内的異物而言,有發自預載室20内所設置的移動台25 、閉合器2 6、及測繪裝置2 7的塵埃及有機物等。 格柵21D會使氮氣體21C偏向門出入口 22,引導至 -37- 200832592 箱2内。往該箱2内之氮氣體2 1 C的流動是在於防止來自 預載室20内下部之對流所造成異物的巻入。 例如,可實施其次的運用方法。 藉由工程内搬送裝置來從裝載埠1 4搬出箱2時,利 用格柵21D來引導氮氣體21C至箱2内,藉此利用氮氣體 21C來強制性清靜(置換)箱2内的環境(空氣及異物等 )。然後,在箱2的晶圓出入口 3藉由開箱器23來裝著 門4。 若根據此運用方法,則可在箱2内更封入氮氣體2 1 C ,因此可防止箱2内的汚染及自然氧化膜形成。 例如,即使副框體40内未形成氮氣體環境,還是可 在箱2内封入氮氣體21C。 並且,在晶圓出入口 3裝著門4以前對箱2内的晶圓 1實施測繪時,可在測繪完成箱2封入氮氣體2 1 C的狀態 下,送至其次工程。 另外’此開箱器的較佳實施例亦可適用於第一實施形 態〜第四實施形態。適用時可取得前述的效果。 圖1 6是表示箱升降機的較佳實施例的立體圖。 圖1 7是表示其作用狀態的立體圖。 如圖1 6所示,在箱升降機1 5設置有罩蓋3 〇 〇。罩蓋 3〇〇是具備:水平配置的頂板301、及垂直配置,上端邊 被固定於頂板3 0 1的前端邊之前板3 0 2。頂板3 0 1是被固 定於昇降驅動裝置16的軸17。前板302是形成可被覆裝 載埠1 4的橫寬、及比軸丨7的衝程更大的高度(參照圖i 7 -38- 200832592 昇降驅動裝置16、軸17可爲1個,但最好是所定的 間隔設置2個以上。藉此,可在載置箱的狀態下使頂板 3 〇 1安定地昇降。 在頂板3 0 1中,三角形的逃逸孔3 0 3會被開設於裝載 埠1 4上的保持台1 8所對向的部位。在逃逸孔3 03的三角 形頂點分別突設有運動銷1 9。因此,頂板3 0 1是構成保持 箱2下面的保持部,且構成箱載置部。 另外,亦可將頂板3 01表現成保持部,罩蓋3 00表現 成固定於保持部者。 又,罩蓋3 00並非一定要固定於保持部者。例如,亦 可在罩蓋3 00設驅動裝置,按照保持部、昇降機構的作動 來進行昇降。 其次,說明以上構成的箱升降機的作用及效果。 雖箱2的圖示省略,但實際從圖1 6的狀態來移行至 圖1 7的狀態時,頂板3 01會從保持台1 8上拾取箱2。此 時,頂板3 01的運動銷1 9是在箱2下面的定位孔5分別 嵌合於保持台1 8的運動銷1 9的外側。 另外,在通常的待機時,頂板3 0 1是位於比保持台1 8 更下方,對門出入口 2 2,保持台1 8會迴避前後時的干渉 〇 從圖1 7的狀態移行至圖1 6的狀態時,頂板3 0 1會將 箱2交接至保持台1 8上。 被覆箱升降機15的罩蓋300是在於抑止來自箱升降 -39- 200832592 機15的粒子飛散。特別是藉由頂板3 01來使箱2上昇至 箱搬入搬出口 1 2附近的狀態’由於昇降驅動裝置1 6及軸 17等會從裝置正面由正面開口 14C露出,因此會使粒子 飛散至裝置外。但,藉由罩蓋3 00 ’可抑止如此的粒子飛 散。 被覆箱升降機15的罩蓋300可抑止因爲昇降驅動裝 置1 6及軸1 7露出於作業空間所造成作業者的危險。 例如,可藉由罩蓋3 00來阻止作業者以手動來將箱2 從匣14Α的正面開口 14C (參照圖1 )裝載至裝載埠14時 之對昇降驅動裝置1 6及軸1 7的接觸。 圖1 8是表示箱升降機的更佳實施例的立體圖。 圖1 9是表示其作用狀態的立體圖。 本實施例與上述實施例相異的點是罩蓋3 00具有一對 的側板304、3 04的點。一對的側板3 04、3 04是分別直角 固定於前板3 02的左右兩端邊。亦即,除了有開箱器23 的側以外,設於三側面。 若根據本實施例,則罩蓋3 00不僅箱升降機15的前 方,也覆蓋左右側方,因此可更提升粒子飛散防止效果及 安全性確保效果。 另外,設置圖1 6〜圖1 9所示的箱升降機之實施例亦 可適用於第一實施形態〜第四實施形態。適用時可取得前 述的效果。 另外,本發明並非限於上述實施形態,只要不脫離其 主旨範圍,亦可實施各種變更。 -40- 200832592 例如,若考量箱保管室的密閉性或防止粒子飛散至裝 置外#’則最好是設置前遮擋板13,或箱搬入搬出口 12 形成小開口尺寸。但,亦可無前遮擋板1 3。 又,亦可使箱搬入搬出口 12擴大成最大限度,實質 將比開箱器2 3及密閉框體2 1更上方的區劃壁幾乎全部開 口。 例如,至箱搬送裝置3 5存取可能的高度位置爲止藉 由箱升降機1 5來使保持台1 8 (頂板3 0 1 )預先上昇,在 該位置從Ο Η T接受箱,使保持台1 8下降不進行門4的開 閉動作,藉由箱搬送裝置3 5來從保持台1 8接受箱。 一旦如此運用,則ΟΗΤ的下降範圍少爲保持台i 8上 昇的部份即可。又,由於保持台1 8從OHT接受箱後,不 必使箱搬送裝置3 5上昇至存取可能的高度位置,因此該 部份可縮短搬送時間。 例如,抓取式箱搬送裝置亦可採用於第一實施形態及 第二實施形態。 第三實施形態的第二區劃壁及箱平台機構亦可採用於 第一實施形態及第二實施形態。 測繪裝置亦可將第一實施形態適用於第二實施形態、 第三實施形態及第四實施形態,或將第二實施形態、第三 實施形態及第四實施形態適用於第一實施形態。 在上述實施形態中雖是針對適用於批次式CVD裝置 時來敘述’但本發明並非限於此,亦可適用於擴散裝置或 退火裝置及氧化裝置等的基板處理裝置全部。 -41 - 200832592 基板並非限於晶圓,亦可爲光罩或印刷配線基板、液 晶面板、光碟及磁碟等。 附記理想的實施態樣。 (1 ) 一種基板處理裝置,其特徵係具備: 收納容器,其係收納複數的基板,基板出入口會藉由 蓋體來阻塞; 搬入搬出部,其係於框體内與外之間進行該收納容器 的搬入搬出; 載置部,其係於該搬入搬出部載置上述收納容器; 保管室,其係鄰接於上述搬入搬出部而設置,保管上 述收納容器;

of the respective units constituting the processing furnace 51 are controlled by the controller 77.  Once a plurality of wafers 1 are wafer charged on the boat 4 7, Then as shown in Figure 4, The wafer 7 of the wafer 1 holding the plurality of sheets is lifted by the boat lifter 48 and moved into the processing chamber 57 (loaded in the boat) 〇 In this state, The sealing cover 50 is in a state in which the lower end of the manifold 59 is sealed via the 〇-shaped ring 50a.  The inside of the processing chamber 57 is exhausted by the exhaust device 68. This enables the formation of the desired pressure (vacuum). At this time, the pressure in the processing chamber 57 is measured by the pressure sensor 66. According to the measured pressure, Feedback control pressure adjustment device 67 ° again, The inside of the processing chamber 57 is heated by the heater 52. It is able to form the desired temperature. At this time, the temperature distribution of the desired -21 - 200832592 can be formed in the processing chamber 57. According to the temperature information detected by the temperature sensor 74, The feedback controls the energization to the heater 52.  then, Rotating the boat 47 by the rotating mechanism 70, Thereby, the crystal 1 is rotated.  Secondly, The gas supplied from the gas supply source 63 and controlled to a desired flow rate by the MFC 62 flows into the gas supply pipe 61 and is introduced into the processing chamber 57 by the nozzle 60.  The introduced gas will rise in the processing chamber 57. The upper end opening of the inner tube 56 flows out to the cylindrical space 58 and is discharged by the exhaust pipe 65.  The gas is in contact with the surface of the wafer 1 while passing through the processing chamber 57.  at this time, A film is deposited on the surface of the wafer 1 by a thermal CVD reaction.  Once the pre-set processing time has elapsed, The inert gas is supplied from the gas supply source 63 via the gas supply pipe 61. The inside of the processing chamber 57 is replaced with an inert gas. And the pressure in the process chamber 57 is restored to normal pressure.  then, The cap 50 will be lowered by the boat lift 48. The lower end of the manifold 59 will be opened. Further, the processed wafer 1 is carried out from the lower end of the manifold 59 to the outside of the process tube 54 (the boat is unloaded) while being held in the carrier 47.  The wafer 1 is unloaded, and the wafer 1 is taken out from the carrier 47 by the wafer transfer device 46a. Returning to the empty box 2 previously transported to the unpacker 42.  Once the number of processed wafers is completed, the wafer 1 is stored. Then, the door 4 is attached to the wafer inlet and outlet 3 of the tank 2 by the unpacker 42 by -22-200832592.  The case 2 in which the wafer inlet/outlet 3 is closed is automatically transferred to the frame plate 3 designated by the rotary box frame 3 by the tank conveying device 35 and delivered.  The box 2 will be temporarily kept. then, Once the front shield 1 3 is opened, Then, the tank transporting device 35 transports the tank 2 from the rack plate 3 3 to the tank loading/unloading port 1 2, It is transferred to the tank loading/unloading port 1 2 on the holding table 18 of the box elevator 15 and delivered.  In addition, The tank 2 storing the processed wafer 1 may be directly transported from the unpacker 4 2 to the tank loading/unloading port 12 by the tank conveying device 35.  Once the box 2 is transferred on the holding station 18, The front shutter 1 3 will close. and, The shaft 17 of the box elevator 15 is lowered onto the loading cassette 14 by the lifting drive unit 16.  The box 2 descending onto the loading cassette 14 will be transported by the in-house transfer device,  For example, the AGV 9 shown in Fig. 1 is transported to a predetermined project.  According to the above embodiment, Then you can get the second effect.  1) The surveying and mapping device is installed in the loading magazine that the container will carry in by the in-house conveying device. Thereby, the actual surveying information which is found by the surveying device and the previously provided surveying information can be returned from the loading cassette. Therefore, Compared with the previous situation in which the surveying device is installed in the box opener in the frame, the time-consuming labor required to return the box to the frame and return it to the loading port can be omitted. This part shortens the time delays that are found at different times from the start of wafer processing.  2) When grasping the upper part of the storage container, The operation (handling) of the storage container transport unit requires an elevator (flexible function) and a grip (grip) -23-200832592 (horizontal expansion function). In order to have various functions of the operation unit of the storage container transport unit, The storage container transfer unit itself requires strength. Therefore, the storage container transport unit is enlarged. and, Because the structure will be complicated, Therefore, the cost is high or it is prone to bad conditions. and, In the case of improper clamping, There are also many cases in which the storage container is dropped. Even the long-term transfer time of the storage container caused by the gripping, The enlargement of the pipe holder caused by the enlargement of the operation unit, The height of the device caused by the space to be grabbed, etc. There are many disadvantages.  That point, By placing a box above the loading cassette and moving it into the outlet, Further, a box lifter for lifting and lowering the holding table of the lower holding box between the loading cassette and the loading and unloading port of the box is provided. The box transport device can be used to pick up the box from the lower side. Therefore, when operating compared to the upper part of the box, The operating structure can be made simple and small. therefore, It is possible to reduce the size and weight of the CVD apparatus. Simple, High speed, Safety and space utilization.  3) by supporting the moving pin in the holding table that is lifted and lowered by the box elevator, The holding table can be used as a transport standard for the box mounting portion in each place. Therefore, It is possible to unify the transport standard.  4) By dividing into a box elevator and a box conveying device, Simultaneously with the lifting movement of the box Stand by before moving the tank transfer unit to the box transfer position. that is, Can be processed in parallel at the same time, Therefore, the total transfer time can be shortened.  5) Since the box elevator can raise the holding table to the height of the box picked up from the lower side by the box conveying device, Therefore, when compared with the upper part of the operation box, It can be safely handed over to the box.  6) Because the inert gas can be used to clean and purify the pre-loading room of the -24-200832592 wafer in the box containing the crucible, Therefore, contamination and formation of a natural oxide film can be prevented.  Fig. 7 is a side sectional view showing a batch type CVD apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention.  The point that the present embodiment differs from the above embodiment mainly is that the unpacker is provided only at the point where the magazine is loaded.  that is, As shown in Figure 7, The loading cassette 14 is a front wall (division wall) 40a provided in the sub-frame 40 forming the preliminary chamber 45, An opener 83 is provided on the front wall 40a. A wafer loading/unloading port 9 is opened in the rear wall 8 1 a of the sealed casing 8 1 forming the preloading chamber 80 of the unpacker 83. Further, a door mechanism 92 that opens and closes the wafer loading/unloading port 9 1 is provided.  The wafer transfer mechanism 46 provided in the preliminary chamber 45 constitutes a substrate transfer device. When the door mechanism 92 opens the wafer loading and unloading port 9 1 , The wafer transfer mechanism 46 transports the wafer 1 between the tank 2 and the carrying boat 47.  The boat lift 48 is a processing chamber 57 that carries the carrying boat 47 into the processing furnace 51 adjacent to the preliminary chamber 45. The loading boat 47 is carried out from the processing chamber 51. The storage rack 31A and the tank conveying device 35 are provided in the storage chamber 1 lb adjacent to the ceiling surface of the preliminary chamber 45.  A box loading/unloading port 1 2 is opened in a portion of the front wall 11a of the main casing 11 facing the storage chamber lib. The front shutter 13 is to open or close the box into and out of the port 1 2 .  Similar to the unpacker 4 2 of the first embodiment, A surveying device 84 is provided in the preload chamber 8A. The surveying device 84 can move the door entrances and exits 82 to the front and rear sides -25 - 200832592 (vertical direction) and up and down (parallel directions).  Secondly, The function of the above-described opener is explained.  In addition, The controller 77 is controlled by the following actions.  As shown in Figure 7, The in-project conveying device passes through the front opening i 4C or the ceiling opening 14B, When loading into loading 埠14, The tank 2 is a holding table 18 that is placed on the box elevator 15.  At this time, the supporting movement pin 19 protruding from the holding table 18 is inserted into the positioning hole 5 below the case 2, Thereby, the tank 2 is formed in a state of being positioned on the holding table 18.  Secondly, in loading 玮1 4, The box 2 will be moved in the direction of the unpacker 83. The closer 86 of the unpacker 83 holds the door 4.  Once the door 4 is held, Then, the closer 8 6 removes the door 4 from the wafer inlet and outlet 3 and the door inlet and outlet 82 by the retreat of the moving table 85. then, The shutter 86 is lowered into the preload chamber 80 by the mobile station 85. Thereby, the position from the wafer entrance 3 and the door entrance 82 is separated.  Once the wafer entrance 3 is opened, Then, the detecting element of the mapping device 84 is inserted into the wafer inlet and outlet 3 (refer to Fig. 5 (b)). The surveying device 84 will map the wafer 1 in the tank 2 by means of the detecting element.  Once the survey has been completed, Then, the mapping device 84 returns the detecting element from the wafer inlet and outlet 3 to the original standby position.  then, The closer 86 moves to the position of the crystal inlet and outlet 3 as the moving table 85 rises. then, The closer 86 mounts the door 4 to the wafer entrance 3 and the door entrance 82 by the advancement of the mobile station 85.  When the actual mapping information read by the mapping device, When it is different from the mapping information provided in advance for the -26-200832592 box 2, The box 2 that is found to be different will be transported from the loading cassette 14 by the in-house transfer device, For example, the AGV 9 shown in Fig. 1 is immediately transferred to a wafer forming project or a previous project.  When the actual mapping information read by the aforementioned mapping device, When it is consistent with the mapping information provided in advance by the box 2, The box lifter 15 raises the height of the tank 2 supported by the holding table 18 from the loading port 14 to the tank loading and unloading port 1 2 .  Once the tank 2 is raised to the height at which the tank is moved into the outlet 12, Then, the front cover baffle 13 will open the box to move into and out of the port 1 2 .  then, The tank transport mechanism 3 5 b of the tank transport unit 35 picks up the tank 2 supported by the holding table 18.  The tank transport mechanism 35b carries the picked-up box 2 from the tank into the carry-out port 1 2 into the main casing 11.  The box transport device 35 transports the loaded box 2 to the storage rack 31A. Automatically hand over to the designated shelf 3 3 A.  The case 2 is temporarily stored in the shelf 3 3 .  then, In the opposite procedure to the foregoing, The tank transport unit 35 and the tank lifter 15 transport the tank 2 from the storage rack 3 1 A to the loading cassette 14 .  at this time, In the preparation room 45, there is a flow of clean air.  Secondly, In the loading cassette 14, The box 2 will be moved in the direction of the unpacker 8 3 . The closer 8 6 of the unpacker 8 3 is at the holding door 4.  Once the door 4 is held, Then, the closer 86 removes the door 4 from the wafer inlet and outlet 3 by the retreat of the moving table 85. then, The closer 86 is lowered into the preload chamber 80 by the mobile station 85. From the wafer entrance and exit 3 and the door -27- 200832592 The position of the entrance 82 is detached.  Once the wafer entrance 3 is opened, Then, the wafer loading/unloading port 91 is opened by the door mechanism 92.  at this time, The mapping of the wafers in the box has been completed. So it can be omitted.  Once the wafer inlet and outlet 3 and the wafer loading and unloading port 9 1 are opened, Then, the wafer transfer device 46a picks up the wafer 1 from the case 2 via the wafer inlet/outlet 3 or the door inlet/outlet 82 and the wafer loading/unloading port 9 1 by the die 46c.  The wafer transfer device 46a transports the picked wafer 1 to the groove alignment device. The groove alignment device consists in aligning the wafer 1 with the groove. After the groove is aligned, The wafer transfer device 46a picks up the wafer 1 from the groove alignment device by the die 46c. The wafer transfer device 46a transfers the picked wafer 1 to the carrying boat 47. Charging to the boat 47.  The wafer transfer device 46a that transfers the wafer 1 to the carrier 47 will return to the tank 2, The next wafer 1 is mounted to the carrying boat 47.  In addition, The step of temporarily storing the box 2 may be omitted from the storage rack 3 1 A. The wafer transfer device 46a directly transfers the wafer 1 from the tank 2 by the die 46c. that is, The surveying is over, The detecting element of the surveying device is returned from the wafer inlet/outlet 3 to the original standby position or the wafer loading/unloading port 91 is opened during the mapping. The wafer transfer device 46a inserts the wafers 1 from the cassette 2 by inserting the cassettes 46c into the wafer loading/unloading port 91.  Since the subsequent steps are the same as in the above embodiment, Therefore, the explanation is omitted.  According to the present embodiment, it is only necessary to install the unpacker on the loading cassette. Therefore, space efficiency can be improved (the table area is reduced), Production -28- 200832592 Capacity improvement (can reduce the range of movement of the box).  Fig. 8 is a side sectional view showing a batch of a third embodiment of the present invention.  In the present embodiment, a point different from the above-described second embodiment, which is operated at the upper portion of the box, A point is set even if the crystal inside the box is acceptable from the ceiling transport type internal transport device (the box mechanism of the box below).  that is, As shown in Figure 8, The operation of the upper portion of the box (hereinafter referred to as the grab box transport device) 100 is carried out in the storage chamber lib of the ceiling surface of the adjacent chamber 45 together with the storage rack 31A.

Therefore, the description of these steps is omitted.  As shown in Figure 8, The OHT1 10 is through the ceiling opening 14B and the opening portion 106. The tank 2 is supplied directly to the loading cassette 14.  at this time, The supporting motion pin 19 of the holding table 18 is inserted into the positioning hole 5 below the box 2, Thereby, the tank 2 is formed in a state of being positioned at the holding table 18 〇 in the loading cassette 14 The surveying device is a wafer in the surveying box (refer to the first embodiment and the second embodiment).  In the mapping step, When the actual mapping information read by the surveying device, When it is different from the mapping information provided in advance by the box 2, The containers 2 that are found to be different are immediately transported from the loading cassette 14 by the OHT 110 to the wafer forming project or the previous project.  When the actual mapping information read by the surveying device, When consistent with the mapping information provided in advance for the box 2, The front shutter 1 3 will open the box and move into the exit 1 2, The box elevator 1 0 1 lowers the tank transport mechanism 102 to the opposite position of the tank loading and unloading port 1 2 .  then, The tank transport mechanism 102 causes the grip portion 103 to sneak into the tank to carry in and out the port 1 2, And move to the top of the box 2.  Secondly, The cassette transport mechanism 1 〇 2 lowers the grip portion 1 〇 3 . The clamping part 1 0 3 will stretch to the bottom, The cap portion 6 of the upper case 2 is clamped from above.  -30- 200832592 Once the brim portion 6 of the box 2 is clamped, Then, the clamping portion 1 0 3 is shortened to the upper side and the box 2 is lifted. Further, the tank elevator 1 0 1 raises the tank transport mechanism 1 〇 2 to a height corresponding to the tank loading/unloading port 12.  The tank transport mechanism 102 transports the hoisted box 2 from the tank to the unloading port 1 2 into the tank storage room lib of the main casing 11.  The grab box transport apparatus 100 transports the carried box 2 to the tube holder 31A. Automatically handed over to the designated shelf 33A.  Box 2 will be temporarily kept.  then, In the opposite procedure to the foregoing, The grab box transport apparatus 100 transports the tank 2 from the storage rack 3 1 A to the loading cassette 14 .  E.g, When the other box 2 is transported by OHT 1 1 0 in the mapping step, The box platform mechanism 1 0 5 will accept the box 2 from the Ο Η T 1 1 0 by means of the skateboard 1 〇 7 Keep it temporarily with the skateboard 1 〇7.  that is, As shown in the false line in Figure 8, The box platform mechanism 1 〇 5 is to slide the slider 1 〇 7 to close the opening 1 〇 6, The box 2 of ΟΗΤ1 1〇 is accepted by the skateboard 1 〇 7 . that is, The slide 107 is a task for playing the storage rack at one time.  then, When the box 1 is moved from the skateboard 107 to the holding table 18 of the magazine 1 4, when the box transport mechanism 102 lifts the box 2 from the slider 107, The box platform mechanism 105 slides the slider 107 to open the opening 106. Next, the box transport mechanism 102 causes the lifted box 2 to be placed on the holding table 18 of the loading cassette 14 through the opening 106.  According to this embodiment, Further, in addition to the effects of the second embodiment described above, the second effect can be obtained.  -31 - 200832592 When the box is transported by OHT in the mapping step, The box platform mechanism will accept the box from the OHT by the skateboard. This can be temporarily stored.  Fig. 9 is a side cross-sectional view showing a batch type c V D device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.  The point of the present embodiment that differs from the above-described first embodiment is a point that includes a box transport device (hereinafter referred to as a grab box transport device) 200 that transports the brim portion 6 of the case 2 and transports it.  that is, As shown in Figure 9, The grab box transporting device 200 is installed in the tank storage chamber 1 1 b. The grab box transporting device 200 is in a state in which the cap portion 6 is grasped.

The holding table 18 of the support box 2 is raised to a position lower than the reference height 204 of the bottom surface of the box, That is, the position of the brim portion 6 is higher than the reference height 204.  Simultaneously with the operation of the aforementioned box elevator 15, The box lifter 201 is configured such that the height of the grip portion 203 can be equal to the height of the brim portion 6, so that the tank transport mechanism 202, The clamping portion 203 is raised and lowered.  The front shutter 13 is an open box loading/unloading port 1 2 (see Fig. 9).  As shown in Figure 1 1 (b), The box transport mechanism 202 will elongate, From the box protection room 1 1 b, move into the outlet 1 2 via the box, Moving horizontally to the clamping portion 203 located outside the main frame body 1 1 Thereby, the clamping portion 203 is replaced under the brim portion 6 as shown in Fig. π ( C ), Once the box elevator 201 raises the tank transport mechanism 202, Then, the clamping portion 203 lifts the case 2 from the holding table 18.  As shown in Figure 1 1 (d), The grab box transporting device 200 shortens the tank transport mechanism 202. The box 2 is carried into the storage compartment 1 lb.  on the other hand, The box lifter 15 will shorten the shaft 17 by means of the lifting drive unit 16. The holding table 18 is lowered onto the loading cassette 14.  then, The grab box transport device 200 transports the tank 2 to the rotary rack 3 1 Hand over to the designated shelf 3 3 .  Compared to the first case, It is necessary to lower the movement of the box 2 liter -34- 200832592 by the box elevator 20 1 to the height between the holding stage 18 and the height of the box loading/unloading port 1 2, and the operating time is poor. But in this second case, Also, as long as the grip portion 203 is hooked to the brim portion 6. therefore, The clamping portion 2 0 3 does not need to be stretched in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction. Its structure and actuation are simple to form. the result , Cost-effective, Space saving or shortening of operating time.  12 and 13 show a third example of the operation method.  As shown in Figure 1 2 (a), The box lifter 15 will elongate the shaft 17 by means of the lifting drive 16 The holding table 18 of the support box 2 is raised to a position where the brim portion 6 is formed directly below the reference height 204. Simultaneously with the operation of the aforementioned box elevator 15, The tank elevator 201 will cause the tank transport mechanism 202 to form a height corresponding to the tank loading/unloading port 12 at a height of the grip portion 203.  The clamping portion 203 is raised and lowered.  The front shutter 13 is an open box loading/unloading port 1 2 (see Fig. 9).  As shown in Fig. 12 (b), once the box transport mechanism 202 is sneaked into the box and moved into the port 12, Then, the clamping portion 203 is located directly above the brim portion 6.  As shown in Figure 12 (c), Once the box elevator 201 lowers the tank transport mechanism 2 0 2, Then, the clamping portion 220 will descend to the brim portion 6. The nip portion 2 0 3 is elongated in the horizontal direction.  As shown in Figure 12 (d), The clamping portion 2 0 3 is shortened in the horizontal direction,  Change to under the brim 6 .  As shown in Figure 13 (a), Once the box elevator 201 raises the tank transport mechanism 2 02, Then, the gripping portion 203 lifts the tank 2 from above the holding table 18. The box elevator 201 is such that the tank transport mechanism 202 rises at least to the bottom of the tank 2 above the reference height.  -35- 200832592 As shown in Figure 13 (b), The grab box transporting device 200 will shorten the tank transport mechanism 202. The box 2 is carried into the storage compartment lib.  on the other hand, The box lifter 15 will shorten the shaft 17 by the lifting drive i6, The holding table 18 is lowered to the loading port 14 .  then, The grab box transport device 200 transports the tank 2 to the rotary rack 3 1 Hand over to the designated shelf 3 3 .  According to this third example, Compared to the first case, The second case, It is necessary to move and move the tank 2 between the holding table 18 and the height of the tank loading/unloading port 1 by the tank elevator 201, and the operation time, And the mechanism that needs to be stretched in the horizontal direction of the nip portion 203 is poor, However, since the clamping portion 203 does not need to be stretched in the vertical direction, Its structure and actuation are simple to form. the result, Cost-effective, Space saving or shortening of operating time.  The fourth embodiment is provided with a box lifter and a grab box transporting device located in the loading cassette. Therefore, in the lifting operation of the holding table of the loading device, The grab box transport device can perform other operations such as transporting another box to the rotary box or the box opener of the sub-frame. therefore, It can improve the operating rate of the grab box transport device.  And by dividing into a phase lift and a grab box transfer device, Simultaneously with the ascending action of the box Before the grab-type box conveying device is actuated to the box transfer position, And make standby. that is, Can be processed in parallel at the same time, Therefore, the total transfer time can be shortened.  same, By simultaneously implementing the rise of the gripper box transport device and the drop of the tank lifter, The handover time of the box can also be shortened.  In addition, The operation method of the fourth embodiment can be applied to the first embodiment and the second embodiment. When applicable, The same effects as those of the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above can be obtained.  Figure 14 is a side cross-sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of the unpacker.  Fig. 15 is an exploded perspective view thereof.  As shown in Figure 14. One end of the nitrogen gas supply line 2 1A is connected to the upper wall of the sealed casing 2 1 . One end of the exhaust line 2 1 B is connected to the lower wall of the sealed casing 21. The nitrogen gas supply line 2 1 A blows the nitrogen gas 2 1 C downward from the air outlet into the preload chamber 20. The exhaust line 2 1 B exhausts the inside of the preload chamber 20.  As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15, In the upper end of the preload chamber 20, The Louver 21D is placed at a position facing the air outlet of the nitrogen gas supply line 21A. The grid 2 1 D is a deflector that deflects the flow of the nitrogen gas 2 1 C blown from the outlet of the nitrogen gas supply line 2 1 A. The grid 21D is inclined toward the door entrance 22 . By tilting, The grid 21 D deflects the flow of nitrogen gas toward the door inlet and outlet 22 .  Secondly, The function and effect of the above-described unpacker will be described.  Since the nitrogen gas supply line 2 1 A is connected to the upper end of the preload chamber 20, The exhaust line 21B is disposed at the lower end. Therefore, the flow of nitrogen gas in the preload chamber 20 is a downstream flow. The downstream nitrogen gas 2 1 C can effectively discharge foreign matter such as dust and organic matter in the pre-chamber 20 . that is, The downstream nitrogen gas 2 1 C prevents foreign matter from adhering to the wafer 1, Or intruding into the box 2. Regarding the foreign matter in the preload chamber 20, There is a mobile station 25 provided in the preloading chamber 20, Closer 2 6, And the dust and Egyptian organic matter of the surveying and mapping device 27.  The grid 21D biases the nitrogen gas 21C toward the door inlet and outlet 22, Boot to -37- 200832592 in box 2. The flow of the nitrogen gas 2 1 C into the tank 2 is to prevent the intrusion of foreign matter caused by convection from the inside and the lower portion of the preload chamber 20.  E.g, The second method of application can be implemented.  When the box 2 is carried out from the loading cassette 1 by the in-project conveying device, The grid 21D is used to guide the nitrogen gas 21C into the tank 2, Thereby, the atmosphere (air, foreign matter, etc.) in the tank 2 is forcibly cleaned (replaced) by the nitrogen gas 21C. then, The door 4 is housed in the wafer inlet and outlet 3 of the tank 2 by the unpacker 23.  According to this application method, Then, the nitrogen gas 2 1 C can be further enclosed in the tank 2, Therefore, contamination inside the tank 2 and formation of a natural oxide film can be prevented.  E.g, Even if a nitrogen gas atmosphere is not formed in the sub-frame 40, It is also possible to enclose the nitrogen gas 21C in the tank 2.  and, When mapping the wafer 1 in the tank 2 before the wafer entrance 3 is mounted with the door 4, In the state where the nitrogen gas 2 1 C is sealed in the surveying and completing box 2, Send to the next project.  Further, the preferred embodiment of the unpacker can be applied to the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment. The aforementioned effects can be obtained when applicable.  Figure 16 is a perspective view showing a preferred embodiment of the box elevator.  Fig. 17 is a perspective view showing the state of action thereof.  As shown in Figure 16. The cover lifter 15 is provided with a cover 3 〇 〇. Cover 3〇〇 has: Horizontally configured top plate 301, And vertical configuration, The upper end side is fixed to the front end side of the top plate 301 to the front plate 3 0 2 . The top plate 301 is a shaft 17 that is fixed to the elevation drive unit 16. The front plate 302 is formed to have a lateral width that can be coated with the carrier 14 And a height greater than the stroke of the axle 7 (refer to Figure i 7 -38-200832592 lifting drive 16, The shaft 17 can be one. However, it is preferable to set more than two intervals. With this, The top plate 3 〇 1 can be lifted and lowered stably in the state in which the box is placed.  In the top plate 310, The escape hole 3 0 3 of the triangle is opened at the portion where the holding table 18 on the loading port 14 is opposed. A moving pin 19 is protruded from the triangular apex of the escape hole 303, respectively. therefore, The top plate 301 is a holding portion that constitutes the underside of the holding box 2, And constitute a box mounting portion.  In addition, The top plate 3 01 can also be represented as a holding portion. The cover 300 appears to be fixed to the holder.  also, The cover 300 does not necessarily have to be fixed to the holder. E.g, A drive can also be provided on the cover 300. Follow the maintenance department, The lifting mechanism is operated to raise and lower.  Secondly, The function and effect of the above-described box elevator will be described.  Although the illustration of box 2 is omitted, However, when actually moving from the state of Fig. 16 to the state of Fig. 17, The top plate 3 01 picks up the box 2 from the holding table 18. at this time, The moving pin 19 of the top plate 3 01 is fitted to the outside of the moving pin 19 of the holding table 18 by the positioning holes 5 under the case 2, respectively.  In addition, During normal standby, The top plate 3 0 1 is located below the holding table 18, Door entrance 2 2, The holding table 18 will avoid the dryness before and after the 渉 移 When moving from the state of Fig. 17 to the state of Fig. 16, The top plate 3 0 1 will transfer the box 2 to the holding table 18.  The cover 300 of the covered box elevator 15 is intended to suppress scattering of particles from the machine 15 of the box lift-39-200832592. In particular, the case 2 is raised to the vicinity of the case loading/unloading port 1 2 by the top plate 301. Since the elevation driving device 16 and the shaft 17 are exposed from the front surface of the device, the front opening 14C is exposed. This will cause the particles to fly out of the device. but, Such a particle scattering can be suppressed by the cover 3 00 '.  The cover 300 of the covered box elevator 15 can suppress the danger of the operator due to the exposure of the lifting and lowering drive unit 16 and the shaft 17 to the work space.  E.g, The cover 300 can prevent the operator from manually contacting the box 2 from the front opening 14C (see Fig. 1) of the cassette 14 to the loading and lowering drive unit 16 and the shaft 17 when the cassette 14 is loaded.  Figure 18 is a perspective view showing a more preferred embodiment of the box elevator.  Fig. 19 is a perspective view showing the state of action thereof.  The point that this embodiment differs from the above embodiment is that the cover 300 has a pair of side plates 304, 3 04 points. a pair of side panels 3 04, 3 04 is fixed at right angles to the left and right ends of the front plate 3 02. that is, Except for the side of the unpacker 23, Set on three sides.  According to this embodiment, Then, the cover 3 00 is not only in front of the box lift 15, Also covers the left and right sides, Therefore, the particle scattering prevention effect and the safety ensuring effect can be further enhanced.  In addition, The embodiment of the box elevator shown in Figs. 16 to 17 can be applied to the first to fourth embodiments. The above effects can be obtained when applicable.  In addition, The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. As long as it does not deviate from its scope, Various changes can also be implemented.  -40- 200832592 For example, It is preferable to provide the front shield 13 if the airtightness of the storage compartment or the scattering of the particles to the outside of the apparatus is prevented. Or the box is moved into the outlet 12 to form a small opening size. but, There is also no front cover 1 3 .  also, It is also possible to expand the box into the outlet 12 and expand it to the maximum. In essence, almost all of the partition walls above the unpacker 2 3 and the closed frame 2 1 are opened.  E.g, Until the tank conveyance device 35 accesses the possible height position, the tank lifter 15 is used to raise the holding table 18 (top plate 3 0 1 ) in advance. In this position, accept the box from Ο Η T, The holding table 18 is lowered without opening and closing the door 4, The tank is received from the holding table 18 by the tank conveying device 35.  Once used, Then, the range of the drop of the cymbal is less than the portion that keeps the rise of the i 8 . also, Since the holding station 18 receives the box from the OHT, It is not necessary to raise the tank transport device 35 to a possible height position for access. Therefore, this part can shorten the transfer time.  E.g, The grasping box conveying device can also be applied to the first embodiment and the second embodiment.  The second partition wall and the box platform mechanism of the third embodiment can also be applied to the first embodiment and the second embodiment.  The mapping apparatus can also be applied to the second embodiment,  Third embodiment and fourth embodiment, Or the second embodiment, The third embodiment and the fourth embodiment are applied to the first embodiment.  In the above embodiment, the description is applied to a batch CVD apparatus, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
