Abstract:
A substrate arraying apparatus comprising:a stage for mounting a container; a substrate supporting member for supporting substrates and moving through an aperture formed at the stage, the substrate supporting member capable of supporting as many substrate as the substrates being able to be accommodated in a container at regular intervals of L being equal to the regular intervals of the substrates in the container, the substrate supporting member being capable of supporting substrates twice as many substrates as the substrates being able to be accommodated in the container, said substrate support member supports substrates at regular intervals of (1/2)L being equal to half length of the regular intervals of L of the substrates in the container; a first substrate delivering member including: grooves capable of receiving half as many substrates as substrates being able to be accommodated in a container at regular intervals of L for supporting the substrates, and a plurality of slots being located between the respective grooves and being (1/2)L away from both sides of the grooves, the plurality of slots allowing half as many substrates being able to be accommodated in a container at regular intervals of L to pass through, wherein the first substrate delivering member is capable of receiving substrates from the substrate supporting member substantially half as many substrates supported by the substrate supporting member at regular intervals of L and located at one side of the substrate supporting member; and a second substrate delivering member located above the first substrate delivering member, the second substrate delivering member having a closed position in which the second substrate delivering member is capable of receiving as many substrates as the substrates being able to be accommodated in a container, at intervals of (1/2)L being equal to half length of the regular intervals of L of the substrates in the container, from the substrate supporting member, said second substrate delivering member having an open position in which the second substrate delivering member is capable of passing the substrate supporting member.
