Description of the invention: [Intelligent h Ming belongs to _=5^技术_彳轩4贝域^ Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a batch type heat treatment apparatus and a heater for a batch type heat treatment apparatus. More specifically, the present invention relates to a batch type heat treatment apparatus capable of simultaneously and uniformly heat-treating a plurality of substrates across a whole area of a substrate, flowing a cooling gas after the heat treatment step, and rapidly cooling the inside of the chamber of the heat treatment apparatus. A heater that can be applied to the device. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Annealing device for semiconductor, flat panel display, and solar cell manufacturing is responsible for determining a specific thin film deposited on a substrate such as a germanium wafer or glass. A device for the heat treatment stage necessary for steps such as phase change. As an example of a typical annealing apparatus, a liquid crystal display or a thin film type crystalline tantalum solar cell may be used, and the amorphous stone which is deposited on the glass substrate may be determined by a polycrystalline stone. . In order to carry out the determinating step (heat treatment step), it is necessary to provide a heat treatment device capable of heating a substrate on which a specific film is formed. For example, it is necessary to set the temperature of the amorphous stone plate to a minimum of 550 to 600 °C. Generally, the heat treatment apparatus is a one-piece type in which heat treatment is performed on one substrate, and a batch type in which heat treatment is performed on a plurality of substrates. Although the monolithic type has the advantage of a simple structure, but has the disadvantage of reduced productivity, the batch type has been attracting attention as a mass production in recent years. 3 201007847 In particular, with the recent increase in the size of the flat panel display and the glass substrate for solar cells, the aforementioned problems have attracted more attention. Therefore, it is actually necessary to develop a batch type heat treatment apparatus which can perform uniform heat treatment across the entire area of the substrate. Further, in the prior art heat treatment apparatus, after the end of the heat treatment step, it takes a lot of time to unload the substrate by the heat treatment apparatus, and there is a problem that the productivity of the heat treatment step is lowered. Such a phenomenon of reduced productivity is based on the prevention of damage to the substrate due to thermal shock. After the end of the heat treatment step, the inside of the chamber must be cooled to a certain temperature before the substrate is unloaded. The above-mentioned productivity reduction occurs when a large amount of time is spent in the process of temperature drop. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and an object thereof is to provide a batch type heat treatment apparatus and a heater which can be used for the apparatus, which simultaneously heats a plurality of substrates At this time, the substrate is heated by a plurality of heaters corresponding to the substrate, whereby uniform heat treatment is performed across the entire area of the substrate. Further, another object of the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art described above is to provide a batch type heat treatment apparatus and a device which can be applied to the apparatus, which is fast after the end of the heat treatment step. However, the productivity of the steps required for the manufacture of flat panel displays or solar cells is epoch-making. Means for Solving the Problem 201007847 In order to achieve the above object, a heat treatment apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of substrates are simultaneously heat-treated, and each substrate is heated by a plurality of heaters corresponding to the respective substrates during heat treatment.

第2輔助加熱器單元140b係包含在主加熱器單元12〇之 碜 兩側,與單位主加熱器200垂直配置之複數之第2單位輔助 加熱器150b。本實施形態中,係以主加熱器單元12〇配置於 構成第2輔助加熱器單元140b之複數之第2單位辅助加熱器 150b之間之方式,第2輔助加熱器單元140b係由於4個主加 熱器單元120之兩側各配置1個之總共10個之第2單位輔助 加熱器150b構成,但構成第2輔助加熱器單元14〇b之第2單 位輔助加熱器150b之數量,可依照設於腔室1〇〇之主加熱器 單元120之數量而多樣變更。主加熱器單元12〇宜配置於第2 Φ 輔助加熱器單元l4〇b之間之中央。 第1單位輔助加熱器150a與第2單位辅助加熱器15〇b係 與前述之單位主加熱器2〇〇同樣,宜使用通常的長棒狀之加 熱器。 如此,於批量式熱處理装置1中,因為在主加熱器單元 120之四個外周部設有由8個第1單位辅助加熱器15此構成 之第1輔助加熱器單元140a及由1〇個第2單位輔助加熱器 14 201007847 150b構成之第2輔助加熱器單元14〇b,故主加熱器單元口^ 之四個外周部係由18個單位輔助加熱器15〇a,15〇b受熱, 可防止因主加熱器單元120之四個外周部與外部環境接 觸,而不可避免地發生之腔室1〇〇内部之熱損失。 第3圖係顯示於前述之批量式熱處理裝置1中,基板 10、主加熱器單元120及輔助加熱器單元14〇之配置狀態。 再者,於第3圖中顯示第1單位輔助加熱器15〇&於4個主加熱 器單元120之兩側各配置2個之情形。 又’如第2圖所示,冷卻管180係配置於構成主加熱器 單元120之各單位主加熱器2〇〇之間。本實施形態中,冷卻 管180係例示於構成4個主加熱器單元120之56個單位主加 熱器200之間設置總共52個之構成’但冷卻管180之數量係 可依照設於腔室100之主加熱器單元12〇及單位主加熱器 200之數量而多樣變更。又,冷卻管18〇並非一定要配置於 單位主加熱器200之間,只要可適當冷卻腔室1〇〇之内部, 亦可於一部分之單位主加熱器200之間省略冷卻管180。 如此,於批量式熱處理裝置1因為設有冷卻管180,故 於熱處理結束後,腔室100内部之熱可經由冷卻管180傳導 至腔室100之外部,使腔室100内部快速冷卻。於熱處理結 束後,若不將腔室100内部冷卻至特定之溫度以下,則不能 進行基板10之卸載作業,故若可藉由冷卻管180之作動使腔 室100内部快速冷卻,則平板顯示器及太陽電池之生產性大 幅提高。 冷卻管180宜由熱傳導率高之材質,例如銅、不鏽鋼等 15 201007847 構成。於冷卻管180之内部被供給冷卻用氣體或冷卻用液 體。作為冷卻用氣艎,可使用空氣 '氦氣、氮氣、氩氣。 作為冷卻用液體可使用水。冷卻用氣體或冷卻用液體之田 度宜係大致常溫,但視必要亦可使用冷卻至未達常溫之严 度之氣體或液體。 第4圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置1之載舟108之構成之立體圖。 如第4圖所示,於腔室1〇〇之内部設有用以支持裝載於 腔室100之基板10之複數之載舟108。載舟108宜設置成可支 儀 持基板10之長邊側。本實施形態中,載舟108係於基板1〇之 兩長邊側各設置3個、總共6個,但為穩定支持基板1〇,亦 可設置6個以上之數量之載舟等,可依照基板1〇之尺寸而多 樣變更。載舟108之材質宜係石英。 又,如第4圖所示,基板10宜以搭載於支持件12之狀態 裝栽於載舟108。於熱處理過程中熱處理溫度到達玻璃基板 之軟化(softening)溫度時,因基板本身之重量會發生基板向 下方彎曲之現象。特別是如此之彎曲現象會因基板之大面 〇 積化而成為更大的問題。為解決此問題,以將基板1〇搭載 於支持件12之狀態進行熱處理。 第5圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置1之氣體供給管160與氣體排出管170之構成之立體圖。第 6圏係顯示第5圖所示之氣體供給管160之構成之圖。 如此等圖所示’於腔室100分別設置有:棒狀之氣體供 、'、Q營160,係形成有用以將造成熱處理氛圍之氛圍氣體供給 16 201007847 於腔室100内部,而排出氛圍氣體之複數之第〗氣體孔162 ; 及棒狀之氣體排出管170,係形成有供為造成熱處理氛圍而 使用後之廢氣流入之複數之第2氣體孔(未圖示)。氣體供給 管160與軋體排出管170宜於基板1〇之長邊側相對配置。作 為熱處理氛圍造成用氣體可使用氮氣、氬氣等。 本實施形態中,氣體供給管160與氣體排出管170係例 示分別設置各4個之構成,但氣體供給管16〇與氣體排出管 170之數量可依照基板1〇之尺寸而多樣變更。 形成於氣體供給管160之第1氣體孔162之位置宜盡可 能地接近基板10,以使噴射之氛圍氣體可立即接觸於基板 10。因此’第1氣體孔162之數量宜與裝載於腔室1〇〇之基板 10之數量相同。形成於氣體排出管17〇之第2氣體孔(未圖示) 亦相同。 第7圖及第8圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱 處理裝置1之單位主加熱器200之排列狀態之圖。本發明 中,視必要可多樣變更主加熱器單元120之間之單位主加熱 器200之排列。 第7圖係顯示參照第i圖及第2圖所說明之本實施形態 選擇之主加熱器單元12〇之間之單位主加熱器2〇〇之排列狀 態之圖。如圖所示’構成任一個之主加熱器單元12〇a之單 位主加熱器200,可與構成與該主加熱器單元12〇a鄰接之主 加熱器單元120b之單位主加熱器2〇〇成一直線排列配置。 另一方面,如第8圖所示,構成任一個之主加熱器單元 120a之單位主加熱器2〇〇,可與構成與該主加熱器單元12〇a 17 201007847 鄰接之主加熱器單元12〇b之單位主加熱器200錯開配置。例 如,第8圖中,構成主加熱器單元12〇£1之單位主加熱器2〇〇 係排列於構成主加熱器單元12〇b之單位主加熱器2〇〇之間 之中間位置。如第8圖所示,藉由變更主加熱器單元12〇之 間之單位主加熱器2〇〇之排列狀態,可跨裝載於腔室1〇〇之 基板10之全面積,更均一地實行熱處理。 以下’參照圖面就本發明之批量式熱處理裝置丨之動作 進行說明。 首先’如第1圖所示’作業者使設於腔室1〇〇之一側之 門104移動至下部,開放之。 之後’將基板10以搭載於支持件12之狀態載置於基板 移送裝置之機械手(未圖示)之上部面,使機械手移動,將基 板裝載於腔室100内部。 裝載於腔至100内部之基板1〇,如第4圖所示,依序積 層於腔室100内部所設置之載舟108。本實施形態中係3個基 板10積層於載舟108。 之後’基板10積層於載舟1〇8,使門104向上部移動, 將腔室100内部與外部環境隔離後,對主加熱器單元12〇施 加電源,進行對基板10之熱處理。 設於腔室100之4個主加熱器單元120係在基板10之上 部與下部隔著特定距離離間之位置設置,各主加熱器單元 120因為由隔著一定間隔配置之14個單位主加熱器200構 成’故可跨基板10之全面積均一地施加熱,進行均一之熱 處理。 201007847 另一方面,使設於主加熱器單元120之四個外周部之第 1輔助加熱器單元140a與第2輔助加熱器單元140b作動,防 止在熱處理步驟之進行中所發生之腔室100内部之熱損 失。藉此,可跨基板10之全面積實行更均一之熱處理。 在實際進行熱處理之前,使腔室1〇〇内部形成為熱處理 氛圍。因此,經由氣體供給管160向腔室100内部供給氮氣 或氬氣等之氛圍氣體。為形成熱處理氛圍而使用後之廢 氣,係經由與氣體供給管160相對配置之氣體排出管170排 出至腔室100外部。 熱處理過程結束時,使腔室1〇〇内部快速冷卻。因此, 經由冷卻管180使氦氣、氮氣、氬氣等之冷卻用氣體流入腔 室100内部。冷卻用氣體一面貫通腔室1〇〇内部流動,一面 吸收腔室100内部之熱,使腔室100内部之溫度急劇降低。 藉此,熱處理步驟結束後,可在短時間内進行基板10之卸 載作業,故熱處理步驟之生產性提升。 最後,當腔室100内部之溫度降低至適當程度時,打開 門104後,利用機械手由腔室1〇〇將基板1〇卸載,最終完成 熱處理步驟。 於前述構成之批量式熱處理裝置中,構成主加熱器單 元120之單位主加熱器(以下稱為「加熱器」)200可如下所述 構成。 第9圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之加熱器200之構成 之立體圖。如圖所示,加熱器200係成具有特定長度之棒 狀。如第9圖所示,加熱器200係由發熱體202與被覆件204 19 201007847 構成。發熱體202係接受來自外部之電源供給後,產生基板 10之熱處理所必要之熱。發熱體2〇2之材質宜係康達合金 (kanthal)。被覆件204係保護發熱體2〇2。被覆件2〇4之材質 宜係石英。 又,第1及第2單位輔助加熱器15〇a、15〇b,可具有與 第9圖所不之加熱200相同之形狀及構造。 第10圖及第11圖係顯示本發明之其他實施形態之加熱 器200a之構成之截面立體圖及截面圖。作為參考,於第 圖及第11圖中’因為加熱器2〇〇a之兩端部側之形狀及構造 係相同’故為求方便僅顯示加熱器2〇〇a之一端部側。 如此等圖所示’加熱器2〇〇a係整體具有長棒狀,但炎 非限定於此’可依照適用加熱器之批量式熱處理裝置之規 格而多樣變更。 如第10圖及第11圖所示,加熱器200a之構成係包含具 有特定長度之第1管220、具有特定長度且包圍第1管220之 外部之第2管240、具有特定長度且包圍第2管240之外部之 第3管260、及隔著一定間隔捲繞於第1管220之外周面之線 圈型熱線270。 第1管220、第2管240及第3管260之材質,因為第1管 220、第2管240及第3管260全部適用於熱處理裝置,故宜係 熔點高之材質,例如石英。 第1管220、第2管240及第3管260之長度宜係全部實質 上相同。再者,如圖所示,為與後述之端子部500之導電管 510連結,第1管220之長度亦可比第2管240及第3管260之長 20 201007847 度長導電管510之長度。又,第1管220、第2管240及第3管 260宜全部具有同軸,但視必要亦可構成如下加熱器,即第 1管220與第2管240相互具有同轴,但另一方面,第3管260 係與第1管220及第2管240不具有同轴。 即,亦可構造成使構成加熱器200a之第1、第2及第3管 220、240、260之中心軸一致,但因為亦有於加熱器2〇〇a之 動作中第1及第2管220、240發生鬆弛之情形,依照鬆弛之 程度亦有第1管220或第2管240破損之虞,故為防止此,宜 Φ 藉由使第2管24〇位於第3管260之中心之下部,即使於動作 - 中發生鬆弛,亦可接觸於第3管260被支持。 第1管220宜係外徑約i〇mm、内徑約6mm、厚度2mm程 度。第1管220本身具有中央空心之空間224。 於第1管220之外周面係以線圈形態捲繞有相當發熱體 之熱線270。熱線270之材質宜係鎳鉻合金或康達合金中之 任一個。 康達合金係以鐵作為主原料之電阻大之合金,加工成 ® 線材後用於發熱體等者,屬於鐵一鉻一鋁系,標準成分係 鉻23%、銘6% ’其他含有钻2%。 熱線270宜具有0.6mm~0.8mm範圍之直徑。 將熱線270捲繞於第1管220上時,熱線270之間距係與 發熱量有關。即,若將熱線270之間距較小之區域與間距較 大之區域比較,發熱量較大。因此,為均一地加熱基板, 必須跨加熱器200a之全面積將發熱量維持於一定。為此, 與第1管220上之位置無關,熱線270之間距宜維持相同。再 21 201007847 者,視必要可依照第1管220上之位置而變更熱線27〇之間 距。例如,相較於第1管220之中心部側,將配置於端部側 之熱線270之間距縮小(即,增加端部側之發熱量),可補充 因加熱器200a之端部側接觸外部環境而發生之熱損失。 為防止熱線270之脫離,可設置固定蓋體28〇(第12圖)。 關於固定蓋體280之構成如後述。 第2管240係與第1管220隔著一定間隔,以包圍第j管 220之形態設置。第2管240宜具有外徑約18mm、内徑約 14mm、厚度2mm程度。 第3管260係與第2管240隔著一定間隔,以包圍第2管 240之形態g又置。第3管260宜以外徑約3〇mm、内徑約 22mm、厚度4mm程度構成。於第2管240與第3管260之間, 形成有具有約2mm程度之間隔之空間264。 於第1管220之端部設有後述之導電管51〇,俾可對捲繞 於第1管220外周面之熱線270施加電源。經由導電管51〇之 熱線270與外部電源(未圖示)之間之連結方式,並無特別限 定。此連結方式因為熟悉此技藝之業者相當熟悉,故關於 此之詳細說明省略之。 另一方面,加熱器200a宜構造成可將捲繞有熱線270之 第1管220由第2管240或第3管260輕易脫離。此係在加熱器 200a之使用途中,產生熱線270短路等之問題之情形,可由 安裝於熱處理裝置之加熱器200a僅將捲繞有熱線270之第1 管220分離’且藉由將其維護或替換,可簡單地維護或替換 發生不良之加熱器200a。 201007847 另一方面,加熱器200a之基本構成要素雖然包含第1管 220、第2管240及第3管260,但並非限定於此。例如,為簡 化整體的構成,亦可省略第3管260而構成。關於僅由第1管 及第2管構成之加熱器容後述。 如前所述,加熱器200a係包含使冷卻用氣體流動於加 熱器200a内部之空間224,264。因此,於熱處理裝置1結束 熱處理步驟後,使冷卻用氣體通過加熱器200a之空間224、 264而流動’可使加熱器200a本身之溫度快速下降,且使腔 室内部之溫度快速下降。其結果,於熱處理步驟結束後, 可縮短為卸載基板10而將腔室内部之溫度下降至未達特定 溫度之過程所需的時間。因此,可大幅提升平板顯示器及 太陽電池之製造上所必要之熱處理步驟之生產性。 另一方面,為冷卻加熱器200a可設置第1及第2冷卻部 300、400。又,為了加熱器200a之動作,可設置端子部500 及絕緣部600。 第12圖係顯示在本發明之一實施形態之加熱器2〇〇&之 端部設有第1及第2冷卻部300、400、端子部500及絕緣部6〇〇 之狀態之圖。 第13圖係顯示設於本發明之一實施形態之加熱器之端 部的第1及第2冷卻部300、400之構成之分解立體圖。 首先,可將固定蓋體280設於第2管240之兩端部。固定 蓋體280係防止捲繞於第1管220外周面之熱線270脫出。 固定蓋體280係形成具有特定長度之圓筒狀。固定蓋體 280係一端形成為内側插入第2管240後可密接,另一端則形 23 201007847 成為環狀,其具有可封閉第1管220與第2管240之間所形成 之空間244之程度之尺寸。將固定蓋體280設於第2管240之 端部時,因為捲繞於第1管220外周面之熱線270之一端與固 定蓋體280接觸,而防止移動,故可防止由第1管220與第2 管240之間朝外部脫離。 固定蓋體280宜以SUS材質形成,且使由外部供給之電 源可施加於與固定蓋體280接觸之熱線270。 第1管220係通過固定蓋體280之中央朝外部延伸,於延 伸之部分之外周形成螺紋,使與後述之端子部500之連結變 ® 得容易。 - 第1冷卻部300係冷卻加熱器200a之端部。第1冷卻部 300係利用冷卻水使加熱器200a之端部,即構成加熱器200a 之第3管260之端部冷卻,藉此可防止第3管260之熱損失。 第2冷卻部400係使冷卻氣體流入第2管240與第3管260 之間所形成之空間。作為冷卻用氣體,可使用空氣、氦氣、 氮氣、氬氣。冷卻用氣體之溫度宜係大致常溫,但視必要 亦可使用冷卻至未達常溫之溫度的氣體。 ® 第1及第2冷卻部300、400係可相同設置於構成加熱器 200a之第3管260之兩端。 首先,就第1冷卻部300之構成進行說明。 第1冷卻部300係利用由外部供給之冷卻水冷卻第3管 260之端部。第1冷卻部3〇〇係設於構成加熱器200a之第3管 260之兩端部。 第1冷卻部300係可由第1本體310、及設於第1本體310 24 201007847 之一側之冷卻水流入管320及冷卻水流出管330構成。 第1本體310係由外部被供給冷卻水。第1本體310於内 部形成有特定之空間。第1本體310係形成環狀,為藉由後 述之凸緣340可固定於腔室1〇〇,外徑係形成與凸緣340之内 徑相對應之程度,第1本體310之内徑可形成為與第3管260 之外徑相對應之程度。 第1本體310之一端因為密接於腔室1〇〇之外壁,故宜於 密接於腔室100之面配置0型環312,俾能防止漏氣等。 冷卻水流入管320及冷卻水流出管330係可讓冷卻水於 第1本體310内部之空間流入及流出,可冷卻第3管260之端 部。冷卻水流入管320及冷卻水流出管330可分別相對第1本 體310之中心轴隔著特定距離分離設置。 在設有第1冷卻部300之加熱器200a之兩端部,可設置 用以使冷卻用氣體流動於加熱器200a之第2管240與第3管 260之間之空間264之第2冷卻部400。 以下,就第2冷卻部400之構成進行說明。 第2冷卻部400係由内部形成有空間之環狀之第2本體 410、設於第2本體410之一側,且與形成於第2本體41〇之内 部之空間連結之氣體管420構成。 第2本體410之一端係開放成可與第2管240及第3管260 之間所形成之空間264流通。因此’經由氣體管“ο流入之 冷卻用氣體可經由第2本體410流入第2管240與第3管260之 間所形成之空間264 ’於冷卻後可再經由第2本體41〇排出至 外部。 25 201007847 第2冷卻部4〇0因為分別設於第3管260之兩端,故經由 設於第3管260之一端之第2冷卻部400之氣體管420被供給 冷卻用氣體時,冷卻用氣體可通過第2管240與第3管260之 間所形成之空間264後,經由設於第3管260之另一端之第2 冷卻部400之氣體管420進行排氣。 接著,就第1及第2冷卻部300、400之設置過程進行說 明。 第1冷卻部300係可藉由凸緣340密接固定於腔室1〇〇之 外部面。此時,宜使第1冷卻部300可容易固定於腔室1〇〇之 外壁。因此,為藉由凸緣340容易地固定第1冷卻部300,凸 緣340之一端與第1本體310之一端宜可相互卡合地構成。 凸緣340係可以密接於腔室1〇〇之外壁之狀態,以螺栓 固定於腔室100之外壁。只要可將第1冷卻部3〇〇牢固固定於 腔室100之外部,凸緣340與腔室100之固定方式並無特別限 定’除藉由螺栓之固定方式以外,亦可藉由多種方法進行 固定。 於第1冷卻部300藉由凸緣340固定於腔室100之狀態, 為使第1冷卻部300與第3管260之固定狀態牢固,在第丨本體 31〇與第3管260之間所形成之空間可設置軸環(c〇nar)35〇, 於軸環350之兩端可配置〇型環352。又,於軸環350之一端 可配置加熱器被覆件360。 軸環350及0型環352係藉由使位於第1本體31〇與第3 管260之間之間隙密閉,而可防止氣體朝腔室1 〇〇内部之流 入’故可容易維持腔室100内部之真空。 201007847 加熱器被覆件360係可牢固固定第3管26〇與第丨本體 310。加熱器被覆件36〇係可藉由螺栓固定於第1本體31〇之 一端。為牢固維持加熱器被覆件36G之固定狀態,軸環35〇 與加熱器被覆件鳩之外徑宜形成為可密接於第!本體31〇 之内周面之程度。 第1冷卻部3〇〇之設置完成後,於經由固定蓋體28〇延伸 之第1管220之端部設置第2本體41〇,於第1管22〇之端部螺 合後述之端子部500,螺合之端子部5〇〇藉由密接於第2本體 41〇之一端,使第2冷卻部4〇〇固定。為固定第2冷卻部4〇〇, 加熱器被覆件360與第2本體410亦宜藉由螺栓結合。 以下,就端子部500與絕緣部6〇〇之設置過程進行說明。 第14圖係顯示設於本發明之一實施形態之加熱器2〇〇& 之端部之端子部500及絕緣部6〇〇之構成之分解立體圖。 首先,就端子部500之構成進行說明。 端子部500可由導電管510與第1固定螺帽52〇構成。 第15圖、第16圖及第17圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態 之導電管510之構成之圖。 如第15圖、第16圖及第π圖所示,導電管51〇係一端接 觸於固定蓋體280之端部,連結外部之電源線。導電管51〇 可螺合於第1管220之端部。導電管510為容易施加電源於固 定蓋體280,可以固定蓋體280之SUS材質形成。連結於導 電管510之電源線亦可藉由熔接連結於導電管51〇之一側, 但亦可使電源線之端部位於後述之第i固定螺帽52〇與導電 管510之間,進行連結。 27 201007847 第1固定螺帽520係壓著導電管51〇之一端,以可維持導 電管510與固疋蓋體28〇之連結狀態。第1固定螺帽52〇係於 第1管220螺合於端部。第丨固定螺帽52〇可以石英材質形成。 第1固定螺帽520因為具有與一般的螺帽相同之構成,故省 略關於此之詳細圖示及說明。

The unit main heater 200 is a conventional long rod-shaped heater, and a 201007847 heating element is inserted into the quartz tube, and is a unit body that generates a main heater unit 120 that generates heat via an external power source provided at terminals at both ends. . In the present embodiment, the main heater unit 120 is constituted by 14 unit main heaters 200, but the number of unit main heaters 200 constituting the main heater unit 120 can be mounted on the substrate 10 of the chamber 100 in accordance with the loading. Dimensional and varied. The main heater unit 120 is disposed at a plurality of intervals along the stacking direction of the substrate 1A. The substrate 10 is disposed between a plurality of main heater units 12A. In the present embodiment, three substrates 1 are arranged between the four main heater units 120. However, the number of the main heater units 120 can be variously changed in accordance with the number of the substrates 10 mounted in the chamber 100. The substrate 10 is preferably disposed in the center between the main heater units 12A. Further, when the substrate 1 is placed between the substrate 10 and the main heater unit 120 at intervals, it is preferable that the substrate 1 is not interfered with the movement of the robot of the substrate transfer device. Thus, in the batch type heat treatment apparatus 10, the main heater unit 120 is provided on the upper and lower portions of the substrate 1A, and the main heater unit 12 is composed of 14 unit main heaters 2 of the entire area of the substrate 10 that can be coated. 〇 constitute.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary heater unit 14A includes the ith auxiliary heater unit 14 disposed in parallel with the short side direction of the substrate 10, and the second auxiliary heating disposed along the longitudinal direction of the substrate 10. Unit i4〇b. The first auxiliary heater unit 14A is a plurality of first unit auxiliary heaters 150a disposed on both sides of the main heater unit 12A and arranged in parallel with the unit main heater 200. In the present embodiment, the third auxiliary heater unit 14 is in the same row as the main heater unit 120 as in the case of 201007078. 'Because one of the four main heater units 12 is on one side, the total of eight is the first one. The unit auxiliary heater 15A is configured, but the number 'the number of the first unit auxiliary heaters i5a' constituting the first auxiliary heater unit 140a' can be variously changed in accordance with the number of the main heater units 120 provided in the chamber 100. On the other hand, in order to further improve the setting effect of the auxiliary heater unit, the first auxiliary heater unit 140a can arrange a total of 16 first unit auxiliary heaters for each of two sides of the four main heater units 120. 15〇a constitutes. The second auxiliary heater unit 140b includes a plurality of second unit auxiliary heaters 150b disposed on both sides of the main heater unit 12A and disposed perpendicularly to the unit main heater 200. In the present embodiment, the main heater unit 12A is disposed between the plurality of second unit auxiliary heaters 150b constituting the second auxiliary heater unit 140b, and the second auxiliary heater unit 140b is composed of four main units. A total of ten second unit auxiliary heaters 150b are disposed on each side of the heater unit 120, but the number of the second unit auxiliary heaters 150b constituting the second auxiliary heater unit 14b can be set according to The number of main heater units 120 in the chamber 1 is variously changed. The main heater unit 12 is preferably disposed at the center between the second Φ auxiliary heater units l4〇b. The first unit auxiliary heater 150a and the second unit auxiliary heater 15'b are similar to the unit main heater 2' described above, and it is preferable to use a normal long rod-shaped heater. As described above, in the batch type heat treatment apparatus 1, the first auxiliary heater unit 140a composed of eight first unit auxiliary heaters 15 and one by one are provided in the four outer peripheral portions of the main heater unit 120. 2 unit auxiliary heater 14 201007847 150b constitutes the second auxiliary heater unit 14〇b, so the four outer peripheral portions of the main heater unit port ^ are heated by 18 unit auxiliary heaters 15〇a, 15〇b, The heat loss inside the chamber 1〇〇 which inevitably occurs due to the contact of the four outer peripheral portions of the main heater unit 120 with the external environment is prevented. Fig. 3 is a view showing the arrangement state of the substrate 10, the main heater unit 120, and the auxiliary heater unit 14 in the batch type heat treatment apparatus 1 described above. Further, in the third drawing, the first unit auxiliary heater 15 〇 & is arranged on each of two sides of the four main heater units 120. Further, as shown in Fig. 2, the cooling pipe 180 is disposed between the unit main heaters 2A constituting the main heater unit 120. In the present embodiment, the cooling pipe 180 is exemplified as a total of 52 configurations between the 56 unit main heaters 200 constituting the four main heater units 120. However, the number of the cooling tubes 180 may be set in the chamber 100. The number of the main heater unit 12A and the unit main heater 200 is variously changed. Further, the cooling pipes 18 are not necessarily disposed between the unit main heaters 200, and the cooling pipes 180 may be omitted between a part of the unit main heaters 200 as long as the inside of the chambers 1 can be appropriately cooled. Thus, since the batch type heat treatment apparatus 1 is provided with the cooling pipe 180, after the heat treatment is completed, the heat inside the chamber 100 can be conducted to the outside of the chamber 100 via the cooling pipe 180, and the inside of the chamber 100 can be rapidly cooled. After the end of the heat treatment, if the inside of the chamber 100 is not cooled to a specific temperature or lower, the unloading operation of the substrate 10 cannot be performed. Therefore, if the inside of the chamber 100 can be rapidly cooled by the operation of the cooling tube 180, the flat panel display and The productivity of solar cells has increased dramatically. The cooling pipe 180 is preferably made of a material having a high thermal conductivity, such as copper, stainless steel, etc. 15 201007847. A cooling gas or a cooling liquid is supplied to the inside of the cooling pipe 180. As a gas cylinder for cooling, air "helium gas, nitrogen gas, or argon gas" can be used. Water can be used as the liquid for cooling. The gas for cooling or the liquid for cooling should be substantially normal temperature, but a gas or liquid cooled to a temperature less than normal temperature may be used as necessary. Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the boat 108 of the batch type heat treatment apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, a plurality of carriers 108 for supporting the substrate 10 loaded in the chamber 100 are provided inside the chamber 1A. The boat 108 is preferably arranged to hold the long side of the substrate 10. In the present embodiment, the carrier boat 108 is provided on each of the two long sides of the substrate 1 and is provided in a total of six. However, in order to stabilize the support substrate 1 , six or more carriers may be provided, and The size of the substrate 1 is variously changed. The material of the boat 108 should be quartz. Further, as shown in Fig. 4, the substrate 10 is preferably loaded on the carrier boat 108 in a state of being mounted on the support member 12. When the heat treatment temperature reaches the softening temperature of the glass substrate during the heat treatment, the substrate is bent downward due to the weight of the substrate itself. In particular, the bending phenomenon is aggravated by the large surface of the substrate. In order to solve this problem, heat treatment is performed in a state where the substrate 1 is mounted on the holder 12. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a gas supply pipe 160 and a gas discharge pipe 170 of the batch type heat treatment apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6 shows a configuration of the gas supply pipe 160 shown in Fig. 5. As shown in the figures, 'the chamber 100 is provided with: a rod-shaped gas supply, ', Q bat 160, which is formed to supply an atmosphere gas that causes a heat treatment atmosphere to the interior of the chamber 100, and discharges the atmosphere gas. The plurality of gas holes 162; and the rod-shaped gas discharge pipe 170 are formed with a plurality of second gas holes (not shown) for supplying the exhaust gas after use in the heat treatment atmosphere. The gas supply pipe 160 and the rolling body discharge pipe 170 are preferably disposed to face each other on the long side of the substrate 1A. As the gas used for the heat treatment atmosphere, nitrogen gas, argon gas or the like can be used. In the present embodiment, the gas supply pipe 160 and the gas discharge pipe 170 are respectively provided in four configurations. However, the number of the gas supply pipe 16 and the gas discharge pipe 170 can be variously changed depending on the size of the substrate 1A. The position of the first gas hole 162 formed in the gas supply pipe 160 is preferably as close as possible to the substrate 10 so that the injected atmosphere gas can immediately contact the substrate 10. Therefore, the number of the first gas holes 162 is preferably the same as the number of the substrates 10 loaded in the chamber 1 . The same applies to the second gas hole (not shown) formed in the gas discharge pipe 17A. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are views showing an arrangement state of the unit main heater 200 of the batch type heat treatment apparatus 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the arrangement of the unit main heaters 200 between the main heater units 120 can be variously changed as necessary. Fig. 7 is a view showing the arrangement state of the unit main heaters 2A between the main heater units 12A selected in the present embodiment described with reference to Figs. As shown in the figure, the unit main heater 200 constituting any one of the main heater units 12A can be connected to the unit main heater 2 constituting the main heater unit 120b adjacent to the main heater unit 12A. Arrange in a straight line. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 8, the unit main heater 2A constituting any one of the main heater units 120a can be combined with the main heater unit 12 constituting the main heater unit 12A17, 201007847. The unit main heater 200 of 〇b is staggered. For example, in Fig. 8, the unit main heater 2 constituting the main heater unit 12 is arranged in an intermediate position between the unit main heaters 2A constituting the main heater unit 12'b. As shown in Fig. 8, by changing the arrangement state of the unit main heater 2A between the main heater units 12A, it is possible to perform the uniformity across the entire area of the substrate 10 loaded in the chamber 1〇〇. Heat treatment. Hereinafter, the operation of the batch type heat treatment apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, as shown in Fig. 1, the operator moves the door 104 provided on one side of the chamber 1 to the lower portion and is opened. Then, the substrate 10 is placed on the upper surface of a robot (not shown) of the substrate transfer device in a state of being mounted on the support member 12, and the robot is moved to mount the substrate inside the chamber 100. The substrate 1 装载 loaded in the cavity to the inside of 100 is sequentially stacked on the inside of the chamber 100 as shown in Fig. 4 . In the present embodiment, three substrates 10 are laminated on the carrying boat 108. Thereafter, the substrate 10 is laminated on the carrying boat 1〇8, and the door 104 is moved upward. After the inside of the chamber 100 is isolated from the external environment, power is applied to the main heater unit 12 to heat the substrate 10. The four main heater units 120 provided in the chamber 100 are disposed at a position separated from the upper portion and the lower portion of the substrate 10 by a specific distance, and each of the main heater units 120 is disposed of 14 unit main heaters at regular intervals. The composition 200 is such that heat can be uniformly applied across the entire area of the substrate 10 to perform uniform heat treatment. 201007847 On the other hand, the first auxiliary heater unit 140a and the second auxiliary heater unit 140b provided on the four outer peripheral portions of the main heater unit 120 are operated to prevent the inside of the chamber 100 from occurring during the heat treatment step. Heat loss. Thereby, a more uniform heat treatment can be performed across the entire area of the substrate 10. The inside of the chamber 1 is formed into a heat treatment atmosphere before the actual heat treatment. Therefore, an atmosphere such as nitrogen gas or argon gas is supplied into the chamber 100 through the gas supply pipe 160. The exhaust gas used to form the heat treatment atmosphere is discharged to the outside of the chamber 100 through the gas discharge pipe 170 disposed opposite to the gas supply pipe 160. At the end of the heat treatment process, the interior of the chamber 1 is rapidly cooled. Therefore, a cooling gas such as helium gas, nitrogen gas or argon gas flows into the inside of the chamber 100 via the cooling pipe 180. The cooling gas flows through the inside of the chamber 1 while absorbing the heat inside the chamber 100, so that the temperature inside the chamber 100 is drastically lowered. Thereby, after the heat treatment step is completed, the unloading operation of the substrate 10 can be performed in a short time, so that the productivity of the heat treatment step is improved. Finally, when the temperature inside the chamber 100 is lowered to an appropriate level, after the door 104 is opened, the substrate 1 is unloaded from the chamber 1 by a robot, and the heat treatment step is finally completed. In the batch type heat treatment apparatus having the above configuration, the unit main heater (hereinafter referred to as "heater") 200 constituting the main heater unit 120 can be configured as follows. Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a heater 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the heater 200 is in the form of a rod having a specific length. As shown in Fig. 9, the heater 200 is composed of a heating element 202 and a covering member 204 19 201007847. The heating element 202 receives heat supplied from the outside and generates heat necessary for heat treatment of the substrate 10. The material of the heating element 2〇2 should be kanthal. The covering member 204 protects the heating element 2〇2. The material of the cover 2〇4 should be quartz. Further, the first and second unit auxiliary heaters 15a, 15b may have the same shape and structure as the heating 200 of Fig. 9. Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 are a cross-sectional perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a heater 200a according to another embodiment of the present invention. For reference, in the drawings and Fig. 11, the shape and structure of the both end sides of the heater 2A are the same. Therefore, only one end side of the heater 2A is displayed for convenience. As shown in the above figures, the heater 2〇〇a has a long rod shape as a whole, but the degree of inflammation is not limited thereto, and can be variously changed according to the specifications of the batch type heat treatment apparatus to which the heater is applied. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the heater 200a includes a first tube 220 having a specific length, and a second tube 240 having a specific length and surrounding the outside of the first tube 220, having a specific length and surrounding the first tube 220. The third tube 260 outside the tube 240 and the coil type heat wire 270 wound around the outer circumferential surface of the first tube 220 at regular intervals. Since the materials of the first tube 220, the second tube 240, and the third tube 260 are all suitable for the heat treatment apparatus, the first tube 220, the second tube 240, and the third tube 260 are preferably made of a material having a high melting point, such as quartz. The lengths of the first tube 220, the second tube 240, and the third tube 260 are preferably substantially the same. Further, as shown in the figure, the length of the first tube 220 may be longer than the length of the second tube 240 and the third tube 260 by 20 201007847, and the length of the conductive tube 510 may be longer than that of the conductive tube 510 of the terminal portion 500 to be described later. Further, the first tube 220, the second tube 240, and the third tube 260 are preferably all coaxial, but may be configured as follows, that is, the first tube 220 and the second tube 240 are coaxial with each other, but on the other hand The third tube 260 is not coaxial with the first tube 220 and the second tube 240. In other words, the central axes of the first, second, and third tubes 220, 240, and 260 constituting the heater 200a may be configured to match, but the first and second portions of the heater 2a may also be operated. When the tubes 220 and 240 are slack, the first tube 220 or the second tube 240 may be damaged depending on the degree of slack. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it is preferable to Φ to position the second tube 24 at the center of the third tube 260. In the lower portion, even if slack occurs in the action - the third tube 260 can be contacted. The first tube 220 preferably has an outer diameter of about i〇mm, an inner diameter of about 6 mm, and a thickness of 2 mm. The first tube 220 itself has a central hollow space 224. A heat wire 270 having a relatively high heat generating body is wound around the outer surface of the first pipe 220 in the form of a coil. The material of the hot wire 270 is preferably either a nickel-chromium alloy or a cobalt alloy. Coanda alloy is a large electrical resistance alloy made of iron as the main raw material. It is processed into a wire and used for heating elements. It is an iron-chromium-aluminum system. The standard component is chrome 23%, and the name is 6%. %. The hot wire 270 preferably has 0. 6mm~0. The diameter of the 8mm range. When the hot wire 270 is wound around the first pipe 220, the distance between the heat wires 270 is related to the amount of heat generated. That is, if the area where the distance between the hot lines 270 is small is compared with the area where the distance is large, the amount of heat generation is large. Therefore, in order to uniformly heat the substrate, it is necessary to maintain the amount of heat generation constant across the entire area of the heater 200a. For this reason, regardless of the position on the first tube 220, the distance between the heat lines 270 should be kept the same. In the case of 21 201007847, the distance between the hot wires 27〇 can be changed according to the position on the first pipe 220 as necessary. For example, the distance between the heat rays 270 disposed on the end side is reduced (i.e., the amount of heat generated on the end side) is smaller than the center side of the first tube 220, and the end side of the heater 200a is supplemented to contact the outside. Heat loss from the environment. In order to prevent the heat line 270 from coming off, a fixed cover 28 (Fig. 12) may be provided. The configuration of the fixed cover 280 will be described later. The second tube 240 is provided at a predetermined interval from the first tube 220 so as to surround the j-th tube 220. The second tube 240 preferably has an outer diameter of about 18 mm, an inner diameter of about 14 mm, and a thickness of about 2 mm. The third tube 260 is placed at a constant interval from the second tube 240 so as to surround the second tube 240. The third tube 260 is preferably formed to have an outer diameter of about 3 mm, an inner diameter of about 22 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm.

This is a problem in which the hot wire 270 is short-circuited or the like during the use of the heater 200a, and only the first pipe 220 around which the hot wire 270 is wound can be separated by the heater 200a attached to the heat treatment device and maintained or Alternatively, the heater 200a which is defective may be simply maintained or replaced. 201007847 On the other hand, the basic components of the heater 200a include the first pipe 220, the second pipe 240, and the third pipe 260, but are not limited thereto. For example, in order to simplify the overall configuration, the third tube 260 may be omitted. The heater capacity consisting of only the first pipe and the second pipe will be described later. As described above, the heater 200a includes spaces 224, 264 for allowing the cooling gas to flow inside the heater 200a. Therefore, after the heat treatment apparatus 1 finishes the heat treatment step, the cooling gas is caused to flow through the spaces 224 and 264 of the heater 200a, so that the temperature of the heater 200a itself can be rapidly lowered, and the temperature inside the chamber can be rapidly lowered. As a result, after the end of the heat treatment step, the time required for the process of unloading the substrate 10 to lower the temperature inside the chamber to a temperature less than a certain temperature can be shortened. Therefore, the productivity of the heat treatment steps necessary for the manufacture of the flat panel display and the solar cell can be greatly improved.

Since one end of the first body 310 is in close contact with the outer wall of the chamber 1, it is preferable to arrange the 0-ring 312 in close contact with the surface of the chamber 100 to prevent air leakage or the like. The cooling water inflow pipe 320 and the cooling water outflow pipe 330 allow the cooling water to flow into and out of the space inside the first body 310, and cool the end of the third pipe 260. The cooling water inflow pipe 320 and the cooling water outflow pipe 330 may be separated from each other with respect to a central axis of the first body 310 by a specific distance. The second cooling portion of the space 264 between the second tube 240 and the third tube 260 of the heater 200a may be provided at both end portions of the heater 200a in which the first cooling unit 300 is provided. 400.

One end of the second body 410 is opened to flow through a space 264 formed between the second tube 240 and the third tube 260. Therefore, the cooling gas that has flowed in through the gas pipe ο can flow into the space 264 ′ formed between the second pipe 240 and the third pipe 260 via the second body 410, and can be discharged to the outside through the second body 41 after cooling. 25 201007847 The second cooling unit 4〇0 is provided at both ends of the third tube 260, and therefore, when the cooling gas is supplied through the gas pipe 420 of the second cooling unit 400 provided at one end of the third tube 260, the cooling is performed. The gas can pass through the space 264 formed between the second pipe 240 and the third pipe 260, and then exhausted through the gas pipe 420 of the second cooling unit 400 provided at the other end of the third pipe 260. 1 and the installation process of the second cooling units 300 and 400. The first cooling unit 300 can be closely fixed to the outer surface of the chamber 1 by the flange 340. In this case, the first cooling unit 300 is preferably It is easy to fix to the outer wall of the chamber 1. Therefore, in order to easily fix the first cooling portion 300 by the flange 340, one end of the flange 340 and one end of the first body 310 are preferably configured to be engaged with each other. The 340 system can be in close contact with the outer wall of the chamber 1 and is bolted to the outer wall of the chamber 100. The first cooling portion 3A can be firmly fixed to the outside of the chamber 100, and the manner in which the flange 340 and the chamber 100 are fixed is not particularly limited. In addition to the fixing method by bolts, various methods can also be used.

The space formed between the collars may be provided with a collar 35 〇, and the 〇-shaped ring 352 may be disposed at both ends of the collar 350. Further, the heater cover member 360 may be disposed at one end of the collar 350. The collar 350 The 0-ring 352 prevents the flow of gas into the interior of the chamber 1 by sealing the gap between the first body 31A and the third tube 260, so that the vacuum inside the chamber 100 can be easily maintained. 201007847 The heater covering member 360 can securely fix the third tube 26〇 and the second body 310. The heater covering member 36 can be fixed to one end of the first body 31 by bolts. In the fixed state of 36G, the outer diameter of the collar 35〇 and the heater cover 宜 should be formed to be dense The degree of the inner peripheral surface of the first body 31 is set. After the first cooling unit 3 is installed, the second body 41 is provided at the end of the first tube 220 extending through the fixed cover 28〇. The terminal portion 500 to be described later is screwed to the end portion of the first tube 22, and the second terminal portion 5 is screwed to one end of the second body 41 to fix the second cooling portion 4 to fix the second cooling portion. In the fourth embodiment, the heater cover 360 and the second body 410 are preferably joined by bolts. Hereinafter, the installation process of the terminal portion 500 and the insulating portion 6A will be described. Fig. 14 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of the terminal portion 500 and the insulating portion 6' of the end portion of the heater 2' and the embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention. First, the configuration of the terminal portion 500 will be described. The terminal portion 500 may be composed of a conductive tube 510 and a first fixing nut 52A. Fig. 15, Fig. 16, and Fig. 17 are views showing the configuration of a conductive tube 510 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 15, Fig. 16, and Fig. π, one end of the conductive tube 51 is in contact with the end of the fixed cover 280, and is connected to an external power supply line. The conductive tube 51A can be screwed to the end of the first tube 220. The conductive tube 510 is formed of a SUS material that can be easily applied with a power supply to the fixed lid 280 and can be fixed to the lid 280. The power line connected to the conductive tube 510 may be connected to one side of the conductive tube 51 by fusion bonding, but the end of the power line may be located between the ith fixing nut 52A and the conductive tube 510, which will be described later. link. 27 201007847 The first fixing nut 520 presses one end of the conductive tube 51 to maintain the connection state between the conductive tube 510 and the fixed lid body 28. The first fixing nut 52 is screwed to the end portion of the first tube 220. The second fixing nut 52〇 can be formed of a quartz material. Since the first fixing nut 520 has the same configuration as that of a general nut, detailed illustration and description thereof will be omitted. Fig. 18 and Fig. 19 are views showing the configuration of a first retaining nut 530 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Further, Fig. 2, Fig. 21, and Fig. 22 are views showing the configuration of a second protective nut 540 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The first and second protective nuts 530 and 540 prevent the conductive tube 51 from being bonded to the end portion of the first tube 220, and the conductive member 510 or the first tube 220 is damaged by an impact transmitted from the outside. The first and second protective nuts 530 and 540 may be disposed between the fixed cover 28A and the insulating cover 61A so as to surround the outside of the conductive tube 510. It is preferable to provide the insulating portion 600 so as to prevent the terminal portion 500 provided to supply power to the heat wire 27 from leaking power, or other conductors contacting the terminal portion. Hereinafter, the configuration of the insulating portion 600 will be described. The insulating portion 600 may be configured to include an insulating cover 610 and a second fixing nut 63〇. Fig. 23, Fig. 24, and Fig. 25 are views showing the configuration of an insulating cover 610 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figs. 23, 24, and 25, the insulating cover 61 has an effect of insulating the power source applied to the conductive tube 510 from the outside. The insulating cover 610 is coupled to the second tube at the end of the first tube 220, and is coupled to the second fixing nut 52, and can be screwed to the second tube. !) at the end. At this time, the conductive tube 51A and the first @201007847 fixed nut 520 are preferably located in the space formed by the inside of the insulating cover 610, and the inner circumferential surface of the insulating cover 610 is preferably connected to the conductive tube 510 and the first fixing nut 520. Separating 0 On one side of the insulating cover 610, since the groove 620 is formed, a power supply line for applying power to the conductive tube 510 inside the insulating cover 610 can be disposed through the groove 620. The insulating cover 610 is preferably made of quartz. The second fixing nut 630 has an effect of maintaining the connection state of the insulating cover 610 after the insulating cover 61 is provided in the first pipe 220. The second fixing nut 63〇 can be provided at the end of the first tube 220. The first and second cooling units 300 and 400, the terminal portion 500, and the insulating portion 600 having the above configuration can be operated as follows. Heat is applied to the substrate loaded in the chamber to 100 by applying a plurality of heaters 2〇〇a to perform heat treatment. The power supply supplied to heat the heater 200a is supplied to the hot wire 270 of the heater 2A via the terminal portion 500. Therefore, the operation of the heater 200a is continuously maintained, and the insulating portion 6 is provided in the middle of supplying power. It prevents leakage of power. In the middle of the heat treatment of the heater 200a, the first cooling unit 3 provided at both ends of the heater 200a can cause the cooling water to flow into the both ends of the heater 2a, and the end of the heater 200a can be cooled. . After the completion of the heat treatment step, when the cooling gas is supplied through the space 264 in the heater 2A by the second cooling unit 400 provided at both ends of the heater 2A, the temperature of the heater 200a itself can be rapidly lowered. And the temperature inside the chamber 1〇〇 is rapidly lowered. Therefore, the heat treatment apparatus 丨 and heater 200a of the present invention can be shortened to the time required for the substrate 1 to be unloaded to lower the temperature inside the chamber 29 201007847 chamber to a specific temperature after the end of the heat treatment step. Therefore, the productivity of the heat treatment steps necessary for the manufacture of flat panel displays and solar cells can be greatly improved. On the other hand, any one of the first tube 220, the second official 240, or the third tube 260 is damaged by the continuous use of the heater 200a. In order to continue the heat treatment, it is necessary to replace the damaged tube and perform the replacement work through the following procedure. The case where the first pipe 220 and the second pipe 240 are replaced is as follows. First, the insulating portion 600 is disassembled. Then, since the terminal portion 500 provided at the end portion of the first tube 220 is screwed to the first tube 220, the conductive tube 510 at both ends of the first tube 220 is removed, and the first tube 220 is released. Fixed, the first tube 220 can be replaced. Thereafter, the second tube 240 can be separated by disassembling the fixed cover 280 and the second cooling unit 400. After replacing the tube which is necessary to be replaced in the first tube 220 or the second tube 240 with a new tube, the assembly is performed in the reverse order of the disassembly procedure described above. The case where the third pipe 260 is replaced is carried out as follows. First, in order to replace the first pipe 220 and the second pipe 240, the terminal portion 500 and the second cooling portion 400 are removed in the same manner as described above, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the state in which the terminal portion 500 and the second cooling portion 400 are removed, since the end portion of the third tube 260 is also released, the collar 35 〇, the ◦ ring 352, and the heater cover 360 are disassembled in this state. The third tube 26〇 can be replaced with a new one. When the third tube 260 is replaced, a method of disassembling the first body 31〇 fixed to the flange 340 of the chamber 100 may be used. However, since the flange 34 is placed at both ends of the chamber 100, It takes a lot of time to allow the flanges 340 to line up the lines 201007847 in a straight line, so the flange 340 should not be disassembled. After the third tube 260 is replaced with a new one, the assembly is performed in the reverse order of the above-described disassembly sequence, and the heater 2A is completed. Therefore, the heater 2 of the present invention can replace only one of the damaged tubes in the case of any of the tubes constituting the heater 2, so that the maintenance and management of the heater is easy. Fig. 26 and Fig. 27 are a cross-sectional perspective view and a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of a heater 200b according to another embodiment of the present invention. For reference, in the first figure and the 27th meter, the shape and structure of the both end sides of the M2GGb are the same, so that only one end side of the heater 2% is displayed for convenience. As shown in the figures, the heater 200b has a long rod shape as a whole, but is not limited thereto, and can be variously changed in accordance with the specifications of the batch type heat treatment apparatus to which the heater is applied. As shown in Figs. 26 and 27, the heater 2〇〇b includes a first tube 220b having a specific length, a second tube 240b having a specific length and surrounding the first tube 22〇b, and inserted in the first The heat generating body 27〇b inside the tube 220b is configured. Since the first tube 220b and the second tube 240b are applied to a heat treatment apparatus, it is preferable to use a material (for example, quartz) of a melting point. The lengths of the first tube 220b and the second tube 240b are substantially the same, and all of the first tube 220b and the second tube 240b should be coaxial. The first tube 22〇b preferably has an outer diameter of about 10 mm, an inner diameter of about 6 mm, and a thickness of about 2 mm. The second tube 240b is provided so as to surround the first tube 22b with a predetermined interval from the first tube 220b. The second tube 240b preferably has an outer diameter of about 18 mm, an inner diameter of about 14 mm, and a thickness of about 2 mm. A space 246b having an interval of 31 201007847 of about 2 mm is formed between the first tube 220b and the second tube 24b. The heating element was inserted into the inside of the 1st s 220b by 27%. The heating element 2 lion should have a rod shape, but is not limited thereto. The heating element (4) should be the Kangda alloy. When the heating element 270b is inserted into the lf22b, the inner circumferential surface of the first skilled person should be slightly separated from the outer surface of the heating element 270b. In this case, since the inner circumferential surface of the tube 220b is in contact with the outer surface of the heating element 27〇b, the difference between the thermal expansion coefficients of the first tube 220b and the heating element 27〇b in the heat treatment step is 丄

Therefore, the division between the inner circumferential surface of the first lf2 and the outer circumferential surface of the heating element 2 should be determined in consideration of the thermal coefficient of the heating element 2 bird. A conductive tube 51Gb is provided at an end portion of the heating element 270b so that a power source can be applied to the heating element 270. The manner of connecting the heat generating element 2 via the conductive tube 51 () 1) to an external power source (not shown) is not particularly limited, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
另—方面,如前所述,發熱體27〇b之端部由於與外部 電源連結,故有必要保護發熱體270b與外部電源之間之連 機構例如導線(銅線)等,以避免由發熱體270b所產生之 熱。因此,發熱體270b之直徑可於發熱體27〇b之中央部與 端部具有相互不同值。 ,如第27圖所示,發熱體270b之截面積宜以兩端部 中央。卩更大之方式構成發熱體27〇b。由發熱體27仙產生 之發熱量,因為與發熱體270b之截面積成反比,故使發熱 之、部之截面積增加時,由發熱體270b之端部所產 32 201007847 生之發熱量變小’可預防發熱體270b與外部電源之間之連 結機構因熱而損傷。 本發明之加熱器200b其特徵構成在於:在第1管220b與 第2管240b之間具有空間244b,以使冷卻用氣體通過該加熱 器200b之内部而流動。即’冷卻用氣體通過加熱器2〇〇1)内 部之空間244b而流動。使冷卻用氣體通過空間244b而流動 之方式並無特別限定,省略關於此之詳細說明。作為冷卻 用氣體可使用空氣、氦氣、氮氣、氬氣。冷卻用氣體之溫 度宜係大致常溫,但視必要可使用冷卻至未達常溫之溫度 的氣體。 另一方面,加熱器200b宜構造成發熱體270b可由第1管 220b或第2管240b容易地脫離。此係具有以下優點,即:於 加熱器200b之使用途中發生發熱體270b短路等之問題之情 形,藉由由安裝於熱處理裝置之加熱器2〇〇b僅分離發熱體 270b,進行維護或更換,可簡單地維護或更換不良之加熱 器 200b。 第26圖與第27圖所示之加熱器2〇〇b,可以與前述加熱 器200、200a以相同方式使用。又,可於加熱器2〇〇b之兩端 6支置第1及第2冷卻部300、400,然後設置端子部5〇〇與絕緣 部600,因為此等之構成及作用亦與前述同樣,故關於此之 詳細說明省略之。 根據本發明,將裝載於腔室之基板藉由對應於各基板 之複數之加熱器進行加熱,可跨基板之全面積均一地實行 熱處理。又,因為可對複數之基板同時進行熱處理,故可 33 201007847 使平板顯示器及太陽電池之生產性提升。進而,因為於加 熱器内部設有讓冷卻用氣體流動之空間,於熱處理步驟結 束後可使熱處理裝置之腔室内部快速冷卻,故可縮短基板 之卸載過程所必要之時間,使平板顯示器或太陽電池等之 製造上所必要之熱處理步驟之生產性劃時代的提升。因 此,本發明之產業利用性可謂極高。 以上,於本發明之詳細說明中就具體的實施形態進行 說明,但於不脫離本發明之要旨之範圍内可進行多樣變 形。因此,本發明之權利範圍不限定於上述之實施形態, 應基於申請專利範圍之記載及與其均等者決定之。 【圖式簡單說明3 第1圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置之構成之立體圖。 第2圖係顯示第1圖所示之批量式熱處理裝置中打開被 覆件之狀態之立體圖。 第3圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置之基板、主加熱器單元及輔助加熱器單元之配置狀態之 立體圖。 第4圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置之載舟之構成之立體圖。 第5圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置之氣體供給管與氣體排出管之構成之立體圖。 第6圖係顯示第5圖之氣體供給管之構成之立體圖。 第7圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 201007847 置中單位主加熱器之排列狀態之一例之圖。 第8圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之批量式熱處理裝 置中單位主加熱器之排列狀態之其他例之圖。 第9圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之加熱器之構成之 立體圖。 第10圖係顯示本發明之其他實施形態之加熱器之構成 之截面立體圖。 第11圖係顯示本發明之其他實施形態之加熱器之構成 ® 之截面圖。 - 第12圖係顯示於本發明之一實施形態之加熱器之端部 設有第1及第2冷卻部、端子部及絕緣部之狀態之截面圖。 - 第13圖係顯示設於本發明之一實施形態之加熱器之端 . 部的第1及第2冷卻部之構成之分解立體圖。 第14圖係顯示設於本發明之一實施形態之加熱器之端 部的端子部及絕緣部之構成之分解立體圖。 第15圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之導電管之構成之 立體圖。 第16圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之導電管之構成之 側視圖。 第17圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之導電管之構成之 平面圖。 第18圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之第1保護螺帽之 構成之立體圖。 第19圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之第1保護螺帽之 35 201007847 構成之側視圖。 第2 0圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之第2保護螺帽之 構成之立體圖。 第21圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之第2保護螺帽之 構成之平面圖。 第2 2圖係顯示本發明之一實施形態之第2保護螺帽之 構成之側視圖。On the other hand, as described above, since the end of the heating element 27〇b is connected to the external power source, it is necessary to protect the connection mechanism between the heating element 270b and the external power source such as a wire (copper wire) to avoid heat generation. The heat generated by body 270b. Therefore, the diameter of the heating element 270b can have mutually different values from the central portion and the end portion of the heating element 27b. As shown in Fig. 27, the cross-sectional area of the heating element 270b is preferably the center of both ends. The larger way constitutes the heating element 27〇b. The amount of heat generated by the heating element 27 is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the heating element 270b. Therefore, when the cross-sectional area of the portion where the heat is generated is increased, the heat generated by the end portion of the heating element 270b becomes smaller. The connection mechanism between the heating element 270b and the external power source can be prevented from being damaged by heat. The heater 200b of the present invention is characterized in that a space 244b is provided between the first pipe 220b and the second pipe 240b so that the cooling gas flows through the inside of the heater 200b. That is, the 'cooling gas passes through the space 244b inside the heater 2〇〇1) and flows. The mode in which the cooling gas flows through the space 244b is not particularly limited, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. As the cooling gas, air, helium, nitrogen, or argon can be used. The temperature of the cooling gas should be approximately normal temperature, but a gas cooled to a temperature not lower than normal temperature may be used as necessary. On the other hand, the heater 200b is preferably configured such that the heating element 270b can be easily detached from the first tube 220b or the second tube 240b. This has the advantage that, in the case where the heating element 270b is short-circuited or the like during use of the heater 200b, maintenance or replacement is performed by separating only the heating element 270b by the heater 2〇〇b attached to the heat treatment apparatus. The poor heater 200b can be simply maintained or replaced. The heaters 2'b shown in Figs. 26 and 27 can be used in the same manner as the aforementioned heaters 200, 200a. Further, the first and second cooling units 300 and 400 can be placed at both ends 6 of the heater 2〇〇b, and then the terminal portion 5〇〇 and the insulating portion 600 can be provided, since the configuration and operation thereof are also the same as described above. Therefore, the detailed description of this is omitted. According to the present invention, the substrate mounted on the chamber is heated by a plurality of heaters corresponding to the respective substrates, and the heat treatment can be uniformly performed across the entire area of the substrate. Moreover, since a plurality of substrates can be simultaneously heat-treated, 33 201007847 can improve the productivity of the flat panel display and the solar cell. Further, since a space for allowing the cooling gas to flow is provided inside the heater, the inside of the chamber of the heat treatment apparatus can be rapidly cooled after the heat treatment step is completed, so that the time required for the unloading process of the substrate can be shortened, and the flat panel display or the sun can be made. The production efficiency of the heat treatment steps necessary for the manufacture of batteries and the like is epoch-making. Therefore, the industrial utilization of the present invention is extremely high. The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and should be determined based on the description of the claims and the equivalents thereof.
