The specific embodiment
Introduce embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.Fig. 1 is the profile according to substrate drying device of the present invention, and Fig. 2 is the profile of the major part of same substrate drying device, and Fig. 3 is the plane of the major part of same substrate drying device.
In substrate drying device 1, be provided as a plurality of conveying rollers 2 of conveying device, substrate W is transported on the conveying roller 2 from the opening 3 of substrate drying device 1.Carrying roller 2 ... top configuration loam cake 4, carrying roller 2 ... the below lower cover 5 is set, owing to this loam cake 4 and lower cover 5 make the volume of dry place very little.
On described loam cake 4, top exhaust apparatus 6 is set, with respect to lower cover 5 below framework 7 on bottom exhaust apparatus 8 is set. Exhaust apparatus 6,8 for example is the discharge duct that forms exhaust stream.Utilize these top exhaust apparatus 6 and bottom exhaust apparatus 8, in the dry place that between loam cake 4 and lower cover 5, forms with the throughput direction of substrate W be benchmark from the downstream upstream side (Fig. 1 from right to left) form air stream.
