EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a support device for a workpiece such as a semiconductor substrate or a liquid crystal substrate. More specifically, it is possible to prevent damage, scratches, etc. by floating with a gas. The support device for the workpiece to be transported. [Prior Art] © For example, in the production process of the precision machine field, even if it is a small one, it is not allowed to cause scratches and dirt in the workpiece, so it is not allowed. Therefore, the gas is generally used. The way in which the workpiece is supported by the contact state. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a gas floating and conveying device that discharges a flat substrate by floating gas from a gas floating unit disposed below a planar substrate. The transport mechanism is forward-transferred, and a mechanism for greatly increasing the floating amount of the planar substrate is provided in the vicinity of the downstream end of the gas floating unit located at the front end of the plane in the transport direction of the planar substrate, so that the planar substrate and the gas floating unit are not Will interfere with each other to cause damage and scars. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a substrate transfer system for attaching a device having a photoresist film to a large substrate, and the substrate is ejected from the substrate by a substrate floating plate. The gas to be floated is lifted, and the end of the substrate is conveyed by the transfer roller provided along the transport path of the substrate. [Patent Document 2] JP-A-2002-1501 57 No. 200929424 Further, as shown in the workpiece supporting device 1 shown in Fig. 4, the pressurized gas is supplied from the supply source 2 of the pressurized gas through temporary filling. The head space 3 is fed by a support plate 4 having a plurality of small holes h on one side for supporting the workpiece W. In this manner, stability is obtained by adjusting the balance between the mass of the workpiece W and the flow rate of the gas. As described above, since the workpiece supporting device 1 supports the workpiece W by the pressure of the gas, it can be called a supporter particularly suitable for a precision workpiece requiring a non-contact method. Since the precision workpiece is a thin and light plate shape such as a wafer, a substrate, or a glass plate, it is necessary to minutely control the flow rate of the gas, and the support plate 4 mainly uses a porous material such as a punched metal Pm or a sintered plate ps (refer to the figure). 6, Figure 7). The punched metal Pm is provided on one side, and has a small hole h having a diameter of about 5 mm formed at intervals of 1 mm. Further, in the sintered plate Ps, the surface of the porous material S was covered with the glass material G, and a small hole h having a diameter of 30 mm was formed at intervals of 50 mm on one surface. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in recent years, the precision of the precision product has progressed, and the workpiece W to be processed has become thinner, and has become a film-like workpiece w. In order to stably support such a workpiece W, there is a limit in the control of the structure and the flow rate for the adjustment of the gas flow rate required for more delicate gas flow, and it is not easy to cope with the control of the flow rate of the metal Pm, the sintered plate Sp, and the like. -6- 200929424 For example, in the present state, when a raw pressure of 0.1 MPa is applied, the flow rate of the gas to be ejected is made to be 5 NL/min/cm 2 from the support plate 4 such as the punched metal Pm or the sintered plate Sp. It is extremely difficult. At this flow rate, in the film thickness W of the thickness ΙΟμηη in recent years, the balance between the mass of the workpiece W and the gas flow collapses, causing the so-called corrugation and expansion bulging, resulting in unstable support posture (refer to Fig. 5). . Further, when the support surface is the punched metal Pm or the sintered plate Sp, when the workpiece W is in contact with the unstable workpiece W, there is a flaw in the surface of the workpiece W. Therefore, it is required that the film-like workpiece W, which is lighter and thinner, can be supported in a stable posture, and a support device that does not cause scratches even when the workpiece W is in contact with each other. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a controlled flow of a small flow rate from the entire support surface by using a permeable porous sheet having a larger venting resistance as a support surface. A gas, a support device for a workpiece that can be stably supported by a lightweight and thinned workpiece. [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to solve the above problems, the support device for a workpiece according to the first aspect of the invention includes: a base body (11): a frame member (12) disposed on the base body (11); At least one mounting member (13) disposed on the base (n) inside the frame member (12); a permeable porous sheet (14) supported by the frame member (12) and the mounting member (13); The air permeability is more than 200929424. The hole sheet (14) and the frame member (12) and the sealed space (15) partitioned by the base body (1 1 ) supply a pressurized gas supply source (1 6 ) of the pressurized gas. When the pressurized gas supply source (16) supplies the pressurized gas, the workpiece (W) is supported by the gas ejected from the permeable porous sheet (14), and the gas ejected from the permeable porous sheet (14) is retained in the gas. A space (17) formed on the mounting member (13). As a result, when the pressurized gas is supplied by the pressurized gas supply source (16), φ is ejected from the permeable porous sheet (14) with a high ventilating resistance of the permeable porous sheet (14). The gas of a small flow rate is controlled to form a gas layer between the workpiece (W) that has been placed on the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet (14). At this time, since the gas to be ejected stays in the space (17) formed on the mounting member (13) of the permeable porous sheet (14), even if the workpiece (W) is a thin film-like sheet, The entire body can be supported by a predetermined gas pressure, and the workpiece (W) can be stably supported. According to a second aspect of the invention, the attachment member (13) is formed as a ridge portion on the base (1 1 ). Thereby, a space for retaining the discharged gas is formed in the rib-shaped mounting member (13) supporting the permeable porous sheet (14). According to a third aspect of the invention, the attachment member (丨3) is formed as a columnar portion on the base (11). Thereby, a space for trapping the discharged gas is formed in the columnar mounting member (13) supporting the permeable porous sheet (14). According to a fourth aspect of the invention, the sealed space (?5) is connected to each other -8-200929424. Thereby, the gas can be spread over all the sealed spaces (15). According to a fifth aspect of the invention, the air permeable porous sheet (14) is made of a fluorine resin. Thereby, even if the workpiece (W) is in contact with the permeable porous sheet (14), since the fluororesin is a resin having low friction properties, there is no possibility that the surface is damaged. According to a sixth aspect of the invention, there is provided a workpiece transporting means for guiding a workpiece (W) in contact with a workpiece (W) in proximity to a workpiece (W) supporting surface on the permeable porous sheet (14) (twenty one). Thereby, since the workpiece (W) is supported by the gas pressure on the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet (14), the force of transporting the workpiece (W) by the workpiece transfer means (21) is minute. The power can be achieved. Further, the symbols in parentheses of the respective means are examples of the correspondence relationship of the specific means described in the embodiment described later. [Embodiment] The following description of the support device for a workpiece according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 schematically show a part of a supporting device 1A as a thinned film-like workpiece w of a workpiece. The support device 10 is provided with an airtight frame member 12 disposed on the base member, and at least one mounting member 13 disposed on the base 11 on the inner side of the frame member 12; and the frame member 12 and the mounting member a ventilating 200929424 porous sheet 14 supported by the member 13; and a pressurized gas supply source 1 for supplying a pressurized gas to the permeable porous sheet 14 and the frame member 1-2 and the sealed space 15 partitioned by the substrate 11. 6. The base 11 is a flat member, and has a bottom portion having a square shape having at least an area of a workpiece W to be supported and transported as described later, and is airtightly formed on the outermost periphery of the base 11. A frame member 12 is provided. The φ mounting member 13 is attached to the inside of the frame member 12, and is formed in a prismatic shape at a predetermined height at the same height as the frame member 12. The arrangement is preferably in the form of a structure in which they are arranged in parallel or in a lattice pattern (see Fig. 4). Further, the mounting member 13 can also be purchased as a column (see Fig. 5). As the permeable porous sheet 1 4 ', a fluorine-based resin having characteristics such as low friction and non-adhesive properties can be used. In this case, the thickness of the aerodynamic porous sheet crucible 4 is, for example, 0.5 mm. On the lower surface side of the permeable porous sheet 14, a sealed space 15 partitioned by the base member 框, the frame member 12 and the respective mounting members 13 is formed. In this sealed space, 1 5 ′ is connected from the pressurized gas supply source! 6 piping L for supplying pressurized gas. Further, the respective sealed spaces 15 are connected by the communication ports provided in the respective mounting members 13. Further, when the frame member 12 and the prism-shaped mounting member 13 are supported by the frame member 12 and the prismatic mounting member 13 , the portion k between the support portions of the mounting member i 3 protrudes convexly in the support by the mounting member 13 The space 17' in the portion retains the gas ejected from the permeable porous sheet 14 (refer to Fig. 3). -10-200929424 In this case, the permeable porous sheet 14 and the mounting member 13 can be fixed by suitable fixing means. . That is, the permeable porous sheet 14 and the attachment member 13 may be mechanically fixed by bolts or the like via a suitable abutting member 18', or may be fixed by welding or welding. These fixed portions are defined in accordance with the height dimension of the mounting member 13, and the permeable porous sheet 14' other than the fixed portions protrudes in a convex shape, so that the convex portion is protruded at the fixed portion as the bottom portion. A space 17 in which gas is trapped is formed in a state of being recessed from the portion. Further, in the support device 10, when the permeable porous sheet 14 having a thickness of, for example, is attached to the mounting member 13 on the base 11, the interval between the tops of the ventilated porous sheets 14 projecting in a convex shape is used as the support pitch. P, set to 30 mm. The pressurized gas supply source 16 for supplying the pressurized gas to the sealed space 15 is connected to the supply port 19 opened at the center of the bottom of the base 11 via the connecting member 20 via the connecting member 20, and the pressurized gas is supplied. φ Further, the pressurized gas supply source 16 can use a conventional structure. Further, in the above-described supporting device 10, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, an appropriate workpiece conveying means 21 is provided on both side portions. In other words, the workpiece transporting device 2 1 includes, for example, a rotating pulley 21a disposed at both end portions of the base 11 and a driving belt that is hung between the rotating pulleys 2 1 a and 2 1 a at both end portions of the both side portions. 21b. The support device 10 of the workpiece of the present invention is constructed as described above. Second, explain its role. The workpiece -11 - 200929424 W which is the object to be supported by the support device 10 will be described. This workpiece W is, for example, a 'circuit pattern of copper having a thickness of 30 μm on a resin having a thickness of 50 μm.' The mass per unit area is set to 0.02 g/cm 2 °. When the workpiece W is placed on the support device 10 When the pressurized gas supply source 16 is driven on the permeable porous sheet 14 of the mounting member 13 on the base 11, the pressurized gas is supplied through the supply hole 19 at the center of the bottom of the base 11, and is supplied to the lower surface side of the permeable porous sheet 14 The base body 1 1 is enclosed in a sealed space 15 partitioned by the mounting member 1 3 φ. The pressurized gas is transmitted through the communication port formed in the mounting member 13, and passes through all the sealed spaces 15 without fail, and the gas is sprayed from the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet 14 to the entire range of the permeable porous sheet 14. Since the permeable porous sheet 14 has fine pores in its entirety, it has a large ventilating resistance when the gas passes. Therefore, from the inside of the sealed space 15, the flow rate is suppressed so that a small amount of gas is ejected from the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet 1 4 . G is ejected by gas so that a gas is filled between the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet 14 and the workpiece W, and gas is collected in the space 17 of the concave portion of the permeable porous sheet 14 to form a gas layer. The workpiece W can be supported by these gas pressures. In this case, since the air permeable porous sheet 14 has fine pores in its entirety, the gas is not ejected in the space 17, but the gas ejected from the portion protruding around the support portion is retained, so that the entire portion is formed substantially constant. The gas layer of the air pressure, the workpiece W is supported in a stable state. Further, in the embodiment, the workpiece W is a film material having a thickness of 30 μm of copper and a circuit pattern of a mass of 0.02 g/cm 2 per unit area formed on a resin having a thickness of 5 Ομηη, -12-200929424, by adding The pressurized gas system supplied from the pressurized gas supply source 16 is transported at a pressure of 〇·1Μρ, and the flow rate of the gas ejected from the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet 14 is compared with the punched metal Pm and the sintered plate used in the conventional apparatus. The porous material such as Ps is 0.05 NL/min/cm 2 which is approximately 1/10 or less, and can be stably supported by a support height of 1.5 mm. φ Further, in order to convey the workpiece W in this state, the driving belts 2 1 b between the rotating pulleys 21a and 21 a of the member conveying means 21 disposed at both end portions of the base 11 can be moved in the conveying direction. The workpiece W can be delivered by a small force. Further, even if the workpiece W comes into contact with the upper surface of the permeable porous sheet 14 for some reason, the permeable porous sheet 14 is made of a soft, low-friction fluororesin, so that it does not occur on the workpiece W.
