For transferring an article to a desired position, even in a lateral transfer, a transfer system (100) allows transfer of an article (3) between a transport vehicle (2), which conveys the article (3) while travelling along a rail (1) provided on a ceiling, and a placement portion provided below the rail, in a lateral transfer manner. The transfer system includes a memory unit (101) and a controller (102). The memory unit stores (i) placement position information indicating a transfer position of the article when a transfer unit is to place the article onto the placement portion, and (ii) holding position information indicating a transfer position of the article when the transfer unit is to hold the article on the placement portion. The controller controls the transfer unit such that, when the transfer unit is to place the article, the article is transferred at a transfer position indicated in the placement position information and, when the transfer unit is to hold the article, the article is transferred to a transfer position indicated in the holding position information.

A soldering apparatus (100) as a conveyance apparatus (1) includes a substrate loading portion (14) to load a substrate (P(n)) on the soldering apparatus, an intermittent feeding unit (15) to intermittently feed the substrate loaded on the soldering apparatus, a substrate discharge portion (16) to discharge the intermittently fed substrate to the outside of the soldering apparatus and a controller (70) to control conveyance of the substrate. The substrate loading portion includes a first conveyance path (13A) to convey the substrate, a first sensor (20A) provided in the vicinity of a substrate loading inlet (11) of the substrate loading portion, and a second sensor (20B) arranged in a downstream side of the first sensor along the substrate conveyance direction. The intermittent feeding unit includes a second conveyance path (23B) for conveying the substrate, and a third sensor (20C) placed in the vicinity of an upstream end of the intermittent feeding unit along the substrate conveyance direction.

The present invention relates to a roller type solar cell sintering and irradiation annealing integrated continuous furnace which can be used for sintering and irradiation annealing treatment of solar cells. The roller type solar cell sintering and irradiation annealing integrated continuous furnace is composed of a loading region (1), a sintering region (2), a sintering and cooling region (3), an irradiation annealing region (5), a cooling region (6) and an unloading region (7). Cells (8) are transmitted on a group of horizontally arranged rollers (9) and sequentially pass through the above regions to complete the sintering and irradiation annealing processes of the solar cells at the same time. The present invention radically solves a problem of mass production in an irradiation annealing process, and a problem of degradation of the solar cells.
摘要:
A system for processing substrates in plasma chambers, such that all substrates transport and loading/unloading operations are performed in atmospheric environment, but processing is performed in vacuum environment. The substrates are transported throughout the system on carriers. The system's chambers are arranged linearly, such that carriers move from one chamber directly to the next. A conveyor, placed above or below the system's chambers, returns the carriers to the system's entry area after processing is completed. The carriers are configured for supporting substrates of different sizes. The carriers are also configured for flipping the substrates such that both surfaces of the substrates may be processed.

The present invention relates to a damper device which comprises a fixed member and a movable member that are positioned relative to each other, one being inside of the other, electroviscous fluid sealed in between said two members, and electrodes opposingly arranged at respective positions of the two members to allow relative flow of the electroviscous fluid. The portions of the movable and fixed members where they are in sliding contact are shielded against said electroviscous fluid by a flexible member provided between these two members. When the damper device of such construction is used as a position control means, a voltage is applied to the electrodes to stop and position the movable member while the voltage application is suspended to cause the movable member to move. The apparatus for manufacturing semiconductors according to the present invention is characterized in that an arm (41) is provided on the movable member (40) to move along the axial direction of the guide bar (42) when the movable member moves, a flexible member (45) is provided between respective ends of the fixed guide bar and respective ends of the arm to maintain the internal space liquid-tight, and an electroviscous fluid is sealed inside the flexible member and in between the arm and the guide bar. A positive and a negative electrodes are formed by utilizing two opposing members such as the arm and the guide bar, to which a voltage power source (48) is connected. When the movable member is to be stopped and positioned, a voltage is applied to the electrodes while said voltage application is suspended when the movable member is to be moved.
摘要:
A wafer transfer apparatus having at least three wafer supporting arms each having an inwardly projecting flange. The transfer apparatus positions the arms so that the flanges are disposed in a plane below the plane of the support on which a wafer rests. An actuator mechanism disposed above the active surface of the wafer moves the arms inwardly until the flange on each arm underlies the back surface of the wafer but the arms are not in contact with the wafer edge. Then, the arms are moved upwardly... The transfer device positions the arms so that the flanges are disposed in a plane below the plane of the support on which a wafer rests. An actuator mechanism disposed above the active surface of the wafer moves the arms inwardly until the flange on each arm underlies the back surface of the wafer but the arms are not in contact with the wafer edge. Then, the arms are moved upwardly. When the flanges contact the back surface of the wafer, the wafer is lifted off the support. Once the arms are above the support surface, the transfer device can be moved to carry the wafer to another position. The actuator mechanism disposed above the active surface of the wafer is designed without any movable element thereof having any sliding contact with any other element thereof. Because, there are no parts of the transfer device which are in sliding contact with other elements thereof, no small particles can be produced that might fall on the active surface of a wafer and cause a defect thereon.
