Abstract:
1. A thin film depositing apparatus comprising: a loading chamber loading a plurality of substrates; a first process chamber connected to the loading chamber to receive the substrates and including a plurality of sputter guns inducing a first plasma; a buffer chamber connected to a side of the first process chamber opposite to and facing the loading chamber; and a substrate transfer module including wherein the robot arm transfers a first of the substrates and a second of the substrates along the guide rail to pass the first and second substrates between the plurality of sputter guns during a process using the first plasma while the first and second substrates are oriented uprightly and in parallel to each other, wherein the first substrate has a surface facing a surface of the second substrate, and during the process using the first plasma each of the suckers directly grips, using vacuum pressure provided from the vacuum pipes, said surface of the first substrate and said surface of the second substrate so that the first and second substrates are oriented uprightly and in parallel to each other, further wherein the substrate transfer module transfers the first and second substrates from the first process chamber to the buffer chamber.
