Apparatus and method for baking substrate

An apparatus for baking a glass substrate, comprising:

• a supporting platform having a supporting surface and a bottom surface;
• a plurality of supporting pins disposed in the supporting platform, the supporting pins be capable of movably protruding from the supporting surface to lift the substrate up;
• a heating unit utilized to heat the substrate;
• and
• a thermal insulation layer disposed opposite to the bottom surface of the supporting platform and utilized to prevent the heating unit from heating the supporting platform.

A method for baking a glass substrate by using a supporting platform, a plurality of supporting pins disposed in the supporting platform, and a heating unit;

• the method comprising the following steps of:
• pushing the supporting pins out of the supporting surface of the supporting platform;
• placing the substrate on the supporting pins;
• retracting the supporting pins into the supporting platform for the substrate being placed on the supporting surface;
• disposing a thermal insulation layer opposite to a bottom surface of the supporting platform;
• and
• heating the substrate by the heating unit.
