摘要:
A substrate damage prevention system and method for a plasma treating apparatus are provided. The system may include a lower electrode on which a substrate may be mounted, an inert gas supply unit which may supply an inert gas to an upper surface of the lower electrode on which the substrate is mounted, and an air supply unit which may supply air to the upper surface of the lower electrode. An inert gas may be supplied between the lower electrode and the substrate in order to control the temperature of the substrate during the chucking. Air may be supplied between the lower electrode and the substrate during dechucking in order to allow the substrate to be easily separated from the lower electrode.

A cluster apparatus for processing a substrate includes a load-lock chamber to receive a substrate, a transfer chamber adjacent to the load-lock chamber, one or more processing chambers each having a side facing the transfer chamber, and a robot in the transfer chamber to unload the substrate from or load the substrate into at least one of the one or more processing chambers or the load-lock chamber. A rotating stage is included in the load-lock chamber to support and rotate the substrate to a desired orientation.

Disclosed herein is a plasma processing apparatus, which generates plasma within a vacuum chamber to process semiconductor substrates using the plasma. The apparatus comprises a substrate mounting table, an outer lifting bar, and a baffle. The outer lifting bar comprises a driving shaft, and a substrate supporting member coupled perpendicular to an upper end of the driving shaft. The baffle comprises a baffle plate coupled to the upper end of the driving shaft, and a shielding portion coupled to a lower surface of the baffle plate. The substrate supporting member is a foldable substrate supporting member. The baffle and the substrate supporting member are driven up and down at the same time by the driving shaft. As a result, it is possible to protect the substrate supporting member from plasma, and to prevent interference between the baffle and the outer lifting bar during operation of the plasma processing apparatus.

Disclosed herein is a flat panel display manufacturing apparatus in a predetermined process is performed using plasma generated therein. In such a flat panel display manufacturing apparatus, a process gas is supplied into a chamber in an evenly diffused state to generate even plasma inside a symmetrical interior space of the chamber. Consequently, the flat panel display manufacturing apparatus can appropriately control flow rate of the plasma, thereby being capable of performing even processing on a large-scale substrate. In the flat panel display manufacturing apparatus, a substrate pedestal thereof is provided with a combination of vertical and horizontal shielding members, thereby being entirely protected from attack of the plasma, resulting in an increased life-span.

Disclosed is a plasma processing apparatus, in which parasitic plasma is not generated in a transfer chamber. The plasma processing apparatus has a load lock chamber, a transfer chamber, a processing chamber, and gate valves installed between the chambers for transferring a substrate and opening and closing openings of the chambers. Each of the gate valves includes a valve housing provided between the chambers such that the valve housing contacts side surfaces of the chambers by interposing sealing members therebetween, and forming a designated closed space therein; a valve including a sealing plate contacting an inner surface of the valve housing on the side of the processing chamber, and a back plate contacting the inner surface of the valve housing on the side of the transfer chamber; a valve driving unit connected to the valve for moving the valve in the vertical direction; and a ground member formed on the surface of the valve for electrically connecting the valve and the valve housing when the valve contacts the inner surface of the valve housing.
