Abstract
A laminate is directly transferred from a first robot arm that carries the laminate from a bonding chamber to an overlapping chamber, to a second robot arm that carries out the laminate from the overlapping chamber to the outside.
Claims4
A carrying method comprising:
- a support carrying-in stage of carrying a support having an adhesive layer formed on a surface on a lower side thereof in an overlapping chamber;
- a support transferring stage of supporting from below and upwardly moving the support carried in the overlapping chamber by a supporting pin that can move in a vertical direction, and transferring the support to a holding member for holding the support;
- a substrate carrying-in stage of carrying a substrate in the overlapping chamber after the support transferring stage;
- a heating stage of supporting and downwardly moving the substrate by the supporting pin, and heating the substrate by a heating portion provided on a lower portion of the overlapping chamber;
- an overlapping stage of overlapping the substrate and the support after the heating stage;
- a first carrying step of carrying the substrate and the support which are overlapped from the overlapping chamber in which overlapping between the substrate and the support is performed to a bonding chamber in which bonding between the substrate and the support is performed by a first robot arm;
- a second carrying step of carrying a bonded laminate from the bonding chamber to the overlapping chamber by the first robot arm;
- a transferring step of directly transferring the laminate carried by the first robot arm to the overlapping chamber, the overlapping chamber including the supporting pin, from the first robot arm to a second robot arm;
- and
- a carrying-out step of carrying-out the laminate transferred to the second robot arm, from the overlapping chamber to the outside.
