Abstract
A conveyance apparatus loads a pressing member to a planarization apparatus that forms a planarized film made of a material on a substrate by bringing a flat surface of the pressing member and the material on the substrate into contact with each other. The pressing member includes a first surface including the flat surface, and a second surface on an opposite side of the first surface. The conveyance apparatus comprises a determiner configured to perform determination as to whether a determination surface of the pressing member is the first surface or the second surface, and a controller configured to control the conveyance of the pressing member based on a result of the determination by the determiner.
Claims14
An apparatus that determines a surface of a pressing member having a flat surface for forming a planarized film on a substrate comprising:
- a detector configured to detect a surface of the pressing member;
- and
- a determiner configured to perform determination as to whether a determination surface of the pressing member is a first surface including the flat surface or a second surface on an opposite side of the first surface based on a detection result detected by the detector;
- wherein the detector is configured to detect in a state in which the pressing member is placed on a predetermined placement surface.
