Abstract:
1. An apparatus for fabricating an array substrate, the apparatus comprising: a first load lock chamber configured to receive a target substrate, on which a conductive layer is disposed, therein and configured to decompress atmospheric pressure therein and switch from an air pressure state therein into a vacuum state therein when the target substrate is received therein; a cooling chamber comprising a first chamber housing configured for receiving the target substrate directly from the first load lock chamber and further comprising a cooling plate disposed within the first chamber housing which is configured to seat the target substrate thereon and to cool the target substrate while it is in the vacuum state; a heating chamber comprising a second chamber housing configured for receiving the cooled target substrate directly from the cooling chamber and further comprising a heating plate disposed within the second chamber housing which is configured to seat the target substrate thereon and to heat the cooled target substrate while it is in the vacuum state; and a second load lock chamber directly connected to the heating chamber, wherein the second load lock chamber is configured to receive the heated target substrate directly from the heating chamber and configured to compress air and switch from a vacuum state therein into an air pressure state therein when the heated substrate is received therein, wherein the cooling chamber and the heating chamber are directly connected to each other and are disposed between the first load lock chamber and the second load lock chamber.
