Description:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-180600, filed Aug. 30, 2013, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to a chamber apparatus and a heating method. 
     2. Background Art 
     A CIGS type solar cell or a CZTS type solar cell which is constituted by a semiconductor material containing metals, such as Cu, Ge, Sn, Pb, Sb, Bi, Ga, In, Ti, Zn, or a combination of these, and a chalcogen element, such as S, Se, Te, or a combination of these, has attracted attention as a solar cell having high conversion efficiency (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. H11-340482, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2005-51224, and Japanese Translation of PCT International Publication No. 2009-537997). 
     The CZTS type solar cell, for example, has a configuration in which a film constituted by, for example, four kinds of semiconductor materials, such as Cu, Zn, Sn and Se, is used as a light absorbing layer (a photoelectric conversion layer). A configuration in which aback electrode constituted by, for example, molybdenum is provided on a substrate constituted by, for example, glass and the light absorbing layer described above is disposed on the back electrode, has been known as the configuration of such a solar cell. 
     The CZTS type solar cell can achieve a reduction in thickness of a light absorbing layer, compared to a solar cell of the related art, and thus installation on a curved surface and transferring thereof can be easily performed. Therefore, application to a wide range of fields is expected as a flexible solar cell having high performance. Hitherto, a method in which a light absorbing layer is formed by a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, or the like has been known as a method for forming a light absorbing layer (for example, see Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2005-51224, Japanese Translation of PCT International Publication No. 2009-537997, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. H01-231313, and Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. H11-273783). 
     However, an inventor of this invention proposes, as a method for forming a light absorbing layer, a method in which a coating film is formed in such a manner that the above-described semiconductor material in a liquid-body state is applied onto a substrate and the substrate is subjected to heating. When the coating film is subjected to heating, heating is performed in a state where the substrate is accommodated in a chamber. After the substrate is subjected to heating, the substrate is carried out from the chamber. Then, the chamber is subjected to cooling. This process has a problem as follows. 
     When the substrate is subjected to heating, a part of a substance contained in the liquid body is vaporized and floats in the chamber. In some cases, even after the heating is finished and the substrate is carried out, this vaporized substance still floats in the chamber. When the chamber in a state described above is subjected to cooling, a part of the vaporized substance is solidified and adheres to an inner wall of the chamber. This results in contamination. 
     The invention is made in consideration of the circumstance described above and an object of the invention is to provide a chamber apparatus and a heating method in which a substrate can be accommodated in a clean environment.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. 
       FIG. 1  is a schematic view illustrating a configuration of a coating applicator CTR according to the embodiment. 
     The coating applicator CTR is a device which applies a liquid body to a substrate S, as illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The coating applicator CTR has a substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, a first chamber CB 1 , a second chamber CB 2 , a connection portion CN, and a control portion CONT. The first chamber CB 1  has a coating application portion CT. The second chamber CB 2  has a baking portion BK. The connection portion CN has a vacuum drying portion VD. 
     The coating applicator CTR is used in a state where, for example, the coating applicator CTR is mounted on a floor surface FL of a factory or the like. The coating applicator CTR may be accommodated in one room. Alternatively, the coating applicator CTR may be divided into several portions and accommodated in a plurality of rooms. In the coating applicator CTR, the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, the coating application portion CT, the vacuum drying portion VD, and the baking portion BK are arranged in one direction in this order. 
     Although a configuration in which the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, the coating application portion CT, the vacuum drying portion VD, and the baking portion BK are arranged, in the coating applicator CTR, in one direction in this order is exemplified, the configuration of a apparatus is not limited thereto. The substrate supplying/collecting portion LU may be divided into a substrate supplying portion (not illustrated) and a substrate collecting portion (not illustrated), for example. The vacuum drying portion VD may not be provided. Needless to say, the portions constituting the coating applicator CTR may not be arranged in one direction. The components described above may be arranged to overlap in the vertical direction, with a robot (not illustrated) located in a central position. Alternatively, the components described above may be arranged in a right-left direction. 
     For simplicity of illustration, when the configuration of a substrate treatment device according to the embodiment is described, directions in the drawings will be described, using an XYZ coordinate system, in the illustration of the drawings described below. In the XYZ coordinate system, a plane parallel to a floor surface is set to an XY plane. In the XY plane, a direction in which the respective components (the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, the coating application portion CT, the vacuum drying portion VD, and the baking portion BK) of the coating applicator CTR are aligned is set to an X direction and a direction which is perpendicular, on the XY plane, to the X direction is set to a Y direction. A direction perpendicular to the XY plane is set to a Z direction. In the following description, in the X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction, arrow directions in the drawings are +directions and directions opposite to the arrow directions are −directions. 
     In the embodiment, a plate-shaped member formed of, for example, glass or resin is used as the substrate S. Furthermore, in the embodiment, a molybdenum portion is formed, as a back electrode, on the substrate S in a sputtering manner. Needless to say, a conductive material other than molybdenum maybe used as a back electrode. In the following description, a substrate of which the size is 330 mm×330 mm when viewed in the Z direction is exemplified as the substrate S. However, the size of the substrate S is not limited to 330 mm x 330 mm described above. A substrate of which the size is 125 mm×125 mm, for example, may be used as the substrate S and a substrate of which the size is 1 m×1 m may be used as the substrate S. Needless to say, a substrate of which the size is larger or smaller than the sizes described above can be appropriately used. 
     In the embodiment, a liquid composition in which metal, such as a group of copper (Cu), indium (In), gallium (Ga), selenium (Se) or a group of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), tin (Sn), and selenium (Se), is contained in a specified solvent is used as the liquid body applied to the substrate S. This liquid composition contains a metal material which constitutes a light absorbing layer (a photoelectric conversion layer) of a CIGS or CZTS type solar cell. 
     In the embodiment, this liquid composition contains substance for ensuring a grain size of the light absorbing layer of the CIGS or CZTS type solar cell. Needless to say, a liquid body in which metal other than the materials described above, for example, metal nano particles, is dispersed may be used as the liquid body. 
     Substrate Supplying/Collecting Portion 
     The substrate supplying/collecting portion LU supplies, to the coating application portion CT, the substrate S not subjected to a treatment and collects, from the coating application portion CT, the substrate S having been subjected to a treatment. The substrate supplying/collecting portion LU has a chamber  10 . The chamber  10  is formed in a rectangular box shape. An accommodation chamber  10   a  in which the substrate S can be accommodated is formed in the chamber  10 . The chamber  10  has a first opening portion  11 , a second opening portion  12 , and a lid portion  14 . The first opening portion  11  and the second opening portion  12  allow the accommodation chamber  10   a  to communicate with the outside of the chamber  10 . 
     The first opening portion  11  is formed on a +Z side surface of the chamber  10 . The size of the first opening portion  11  is larger than the size of the substrate S, when viewed in the Z direction. The substrate S taken out to the external portion of the chamber  10  or the substrate S to be accommodated in the accommodation chamber  10   a  is put in/out to/from the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU through the first opening portion  11 . 
     The second opening portion  12  is formed on a +X side surface of the chamber  10 . The size of the second opening portion  12  is larger than the size of the substrate S, when viewed in the X direction. The substrate S supplied to the coating application portion CT or the substrate S returned from the coating application portion CT is put in/out to/from the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU through the second opening portion  12 . 
     The lid portion  14  causes the first opening portion  11  to be opened or closed. The lid portion  14  is formed in a rectangular plate shape. The lid portion  14  is installed in the +X side vicinity of the first opening portion  11 , via a hinge portion (not illustrated). Thus, the lid portion  14  pivots on a Y axis, with the +X side vicinity of the first opening portion  11  as a center. The first opening portion  11  can be opened or closed in such a manner that the lid portion  14  pivots on the Y axis. 
     A substrate transport portion  15  is provided in the accommodation chamber  10   a.  The substrate transport portion  15  has a plurality of rollers  17 . The rollers  17  are arranged in the Y direction to form a pair and a plurality of the pairs of the rollers  17  are aligned in the X direction. 
     Each roller  17  is provided rotatably about the Y axis, with a Y axis direction as a central axis direction. The diameters of the plurality of the rollers  17  are the same and +Z side end portions of the plurality of the rollers  17  are arranged on the same plane parallel to the XY plane. Thus, the plurality of the rollers  17  can support the substrate S such that the posture of the substrate S is parallel to the XY plane. 
     Rotation of each roller  17  is controlled by, for example, a roller rotation control portion (not illustrated). In a state where the plurality of the rollers  17  support the substrate S, the substrate transport portion  15  causes each roller  17  to rotate about the Y axis, in the clockwise direction or in the counter-clockwise direction. Therefore, the substrate S is transported in the X direction (the +X direction or the −X direction). A floating transport portion (not illustrated) which transports a substrate in a floating manner may be used as the substrate transport portion  15 . 
     First Chamber 
     The first chamber CB 1  is disposed on a base stage BC which is mounted on the floor surface FL. The first chamber CB 1  is formed in a rectangular box shape. A treatment chamber  20   a  is formed in the first chamber CB 1 . The coating application portion CT is provided in the treatment chamber  20   a.  The coating application portion CT performs a liquid-body coating treatment on the substrate S. 
     The first chamber CB 1  has a first opening portion  21  and a second opening portion  22 . The first opening portion  21  and the second opening portion  22  allow the treatment chamber  20   a  to communicate with the outside of the first chamber CB 1 . The first opening portion  21  is formed on a −X side surface of the first chamber CB 1 . The second opening portion  22  is formed on a +X side surface of the first chamber CB 1 . The first opening portion  21  and the second opening portion  22  are formed in a size allowing the substrate S to pass therethrough. The substrate S is put in/out to/from the first chamber CB 1  through the first opening portion  21  and the second opening portion  22 . 
     The coating application portion CT has a discharge portion  31 , a maintenance portion  32 , a liquid-body supply portion  33 , a cleaning solution supply portion  34 , a waste liquid storage portion  35 , a gas supply/discharge portion  37 , and substrate transport portion  25 . 
     The discharge portion  31  has a nozzle portion NZ, a treatment stage  28 , and a nozzle driving portion NA. 
       FIG. 3A  is a view illustrating a configuration of the nozzle portion NZ. 
     The nozzle portion NZ is formed in an elongated shape, as illustrated in  FIG. 3A , and the nozzle portion NZ is disposed in a state where a longitudinal direction thereof is set to be parallel to the X direction. The nozzle portion NZ has a main body portion NZa and protrusion portions NZb. The main body portion NZa is a case in which a liquid body can be accommodated. The main body portion NZa is constituted by a material containing, for example, titanium or titanium alloy. The protrusion portions NZb are formed to protrude from the main body portion NZa to the +X side and −X side. The protrusion portions NZb are held by a part of the nozzle driving portion NA. 
       FIG. 3B  illustrates the configuration of the nozzle portion NZ, when viewed from the −Z side. 
     In the nozzle portion NZ, a discharge port OP is provided on a −Z side end portion (a tip TP) of the main body portion NZa, as illustrated in  FIG. 3B . The discharge port OP is an opening portion through which the liquid body is discharged. The discharge port OP is formed in a slit shape of which the longitudinal direction is the X direction. The length in the discharge port OP in, for example, the longitudinal direction is approximately the same length as that of the substrate S in the X direction. 
     The nozzle portion NZ discharges the liquid body in which four kinds of metals, for example, Cu, In, Ga, and Se, are mixed in a predetermined composition ratio. The nozzle portion NZ is connected to the liquid-body supply portion  33  through connection piping (not illustrated) or the like. The nozzle portion NZ has a holding portion in which the liquid body is held. In addition, a temperature adjustment portion which adjusts the temperature of the liquid body held in the holding portion may be provided. 
     Returning to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the substrate S which is a target of the coating treatment is mounted on the treatment stage  28 . A +Z side surface of the treatment stage  28  is a substrate mounting surface on which the substrate S is mounted. The substrate mounting surface is formed to be parallel to the XY plane. The treatment stage  28  is constituted by, for example, stainless steel. 
     The nozzle driving portion NA causes the nozzle portion NZ to move in the X direction. The nozzle driving portion NA has a stator  40  and a movable element  41  which constitute a linear motor mechanism. A driving mechanism other than the linear motor mechanism, for example, a ball-screw mechanism, maybe used in the configuration of the nozzle driving portion NA. The stator  40  extends in the Y direction. The stator  40  is supported by a support frame  38 . The support frame  38  has a first frame  38   a  and a second frame  38   b.  The first frame  38   a  is disposed on the −Y side end portion of the treatment chamber  20   a.  In the treatment chamber  20   a,  the second frame  38   b  is disposed in a position where the treatment stage  28  is interposed between the first frame  38   a  and the second frame  38   b.    
     The movable element  41  is movable in an extending direction (the Y direction) of the stator  40 . The movable element  41  has a nozzle support member  42  and a lifting portion  43 . The nozzle support member  42  is formed in a gate shape and has a holding portion  42   a  which holds the protrusion portion NZb of the nozzle portion NZ. The nozzle support member  42  and the lifting portion  43  integrally move, along the stator  40  and in the Y direction, between the first frame  38   a  and the second frame  38   b.  Thus, the nozzle portion NZ held by the nozzle support member  42  moves over the treatment stage  28  in the Y direction. The nozzle support member  42  moves, in the Z direction, along a lifting guide  43   a  of the lifting portion  43 . The movable element  41  has a driving source (not illustrated) which causes the nozzle support member  42  to move in the Y direction and the Z direction. 
     The maintenance portion  32  is a portion in which maintenance of the nozzle portion NZ is performed. The maintenance portion  32  has a nozzle waiting portion  44  and a nozzle tip maintenance portion  45 . 
     The nozzle waiting portion  44  has a dip portion (not illustrated) and a discharge portion (not illustrated). The dip portion is a portion into which the tip TP of the nozzle portion NZ is dipped so as to prevent the tip TP from being dried. The discharge portion is a portion which discharges the liquid body held in the nozzle portion NZ, in a case where the nozzle portion NZ is exchanged or the liquid body to be supplied to the nozzle portion NZ is exchanged. 
     The nozzle tip maintenance portion  45  is a portion in which condition of a nozzle tip end is managed in such a manner that the tip TP of the nozzle portion NZ or the vicinity of the tip TP is cleaned or the liquid body is preliminary discharged through the discharge port OP of the nozzle portion NZ. The nozzle tip maintenance portion  45  has a wiping portion  45   a  which wipes the tip TP of the nozzle portion NZ and a guide rail  45   b  which guides the wiping portion  45   a.  A waste liquid accommodating portion  35   a  in which the liquid body discharged through the nozzle portion NZ, the cleaning solution used for cleaning the nozzle portion NZ and the like are accommodated is provided in the nozzle tip maintenance portion  45 . 
       FIG. 4  is a view illustrating a cross-sectional shape of the nozzle portion NZ and the nozzle tip maintenance portion  45 .

The gate valve V 1  can move in the Z direction by a driving portion (not illustrated). The second opening portion  12  of the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU and the first opening portion  21  of the coating application portion CT can be opened or closed at the same time, in such a manner that the gate valve V 1  moves in the Z direction. When the second opening portion  12  and the first opening portion  21  are opened at the same time, the substrate S can move between the second opening portion  12  and the first opening portion  21 . 
     A gate valve V 2  is provided in a portion between the second opening portion  22  of the first chamber CB 1  and the first opening portion  51  of the third chamber CB 3 . The gate valve V 2  can move in the Z direction by a driving portion (not illustrated). The second opening portion  22  of the first chamber CB 1  and the first opening portion  51  of the third chamber CB 3  can be opened or closed at the same time, in such a manner that the gate valve V 2  moves in the Z direction. When the second opening portion  22  and the first opening portion  51  are opened at the same time, the substrate S can move between the second opening portion  22  and the first opening portion  51 . 
     A gate valve V 3  is provided in a portion between the second opening portion  52  of the third chamber CB 3  and the opening portion  61  of the second chamber CB 2 . The gate valve V 3  can move in the Z direction by a driving portion (not illustrated). The second opening portion  52  of the third chamber CB 3  and the opening portion  61  of the second chamber CB 2  can be opened or closed at the same time, in such a manner that the gate valve V 3  moves in the Z direction. When the second opening portion  52  and the opening portion  61  are opened at the same time, the substrate S can move between the second opening portion  52  and the opening portion  61 . 
     Control Device 
     The control portion CONT is a portion which generally controls the coating applicator CTR. Specifically, the control portion CONT controls operations in the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, the coating application portion CT, the vacuum drying portion VD, and the baking portion BK, operations of the gate valves V 1  to V 3 , and the likes. As an example of an adjustment operation, the control portion CONT adjusts a supply amount of the gas supply portion  37   a,  based on detection results by solvent concentration sensors SR 1  to SR 4 . The control portion CONT has, for example, a timer (not illustrated) used for measuring a treatment period. 
     Coating Application Method 
     Next, a coating application method according to the embodiment will be described. In the embodiment, a coating film containing metal is formed on the substrate S, using the coating applicator CTR configured as described above. Operations performed in each portion of the coating applicator CTR are controlled by the control portion CONT. 
     The control portion CONT causes the substrate S to be carried from the outside to the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU. In this case, the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 1  to be closed and causes the lid portion  14  to be opened, and then the control portion CONT causes the substrate S to be accommodated in the accommodation chamber  10   a  of the chamber  10 . After the substrate S is accommodated in the accommodation chamber  10   a,  the control portion CONT causes the lid portion  14  to be closed. 
     After the lid portion  14  is closed, the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 1  to be opened, such that the accommodation chamber  10   a  of the chamber  10  communicates with the treatment chamber  20   a  of the first chamber CB 1  of the coating application portion CT. After the gate valve V 1  is opened, the control portion CONT causes the substrate S to be transported, using the substrate transport portion  15 , in the X direction. 
     After a part of the substrate S is inserted in the treatment chamber  20   a  of the first chamber CB 1 , the control portion CONT causes the substrate S to be completely carried in to the treatment chamber  20   a,  using the substrate transport portion  25 . After the substrate S is transported to the treatment chamber  20   a,  the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 1  to be closed. After the gate valve V 1  is closed, the control portion CONT causes the substrate S to be transported to the treatment stage  28 . 
       FIG. 8  is a view illustrating a simplified configuration of the coating application portion CT, in which a part of the configuration thereof is not illustrated.  FIGS. 9 to 12  illustrate the same. When the substrate S is mounted on the treatment stage  28 , a coating treatment is performed in the coating application portion CT, as illustrated in  FIG. 8 . Prior to the coating treatment, the control portion CONT causes the gate valves V 1  and V 2  to be closed and performs supply and suction of an inert gas, using the gas supply portion  37   a  and the gas exhaust portion  37   b.    
     Accordingly, the atmosphere and the pressure in the treatment chamber  20   a  are adjusted. After the atmosphere and the pressure in the treatment chamber  20   a  are adjusted, the control portion CONT causes the nozzle portion NZ to move from the nozzle waiting portion  44  to the nozzle tip maintenance portion  45 , using the nozzle driving portion NA (not illustrated in  FIG. 8 ). During the subsequent coating treatment, the control portion CONT causes an operation for adjusting the atmosphere and the pressure in the treatment chamber  20   a  to be continuously performed. 
     After the nozzle portion NZ reaches the nozzle tip maintenance portion  45 , the control portion CONT causes the nozzle portion NZ to perform a preliminary discharging operation, as illustrated in  FIG. 9 . In the preliminary discharging operation, the control portion CONT causes a liquid body Q to be discharged through the discharge port OP. After the preliminary discharging operation is performed, the control portion CONT causes the wiping portion  45   a  to move, in the X direction, along the guide rail  45   b,  so as to wipe the tip TP of the nozzle portion NZ and the inclined portion in the vicinity of the tip TP, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 . 
     After the tip TP of the nozzle portion NZ is wiped, the control portion CONT causes the nozzle portion NZ to move to the treatment stage  28 . After the discharge port OP of the nozzle portion NZ reaches the −Y side end portion of the substrate S, the control portion CONT causes the nozzle portion NZ to move in the +Y direction at a predetermined speed and causes the liquid body Q to be discharged onto the substrate S through the discharge port OP, as illustrated in  FIG. 11 . Accordingly, a coating film F of the liquid body Q is formed on the substrate S. 
     After the coating film of the liquid body Q is formed on a predetermine area of the substrate S, the control portion CONT causes the substrate S to move, in the +X direction, from the treatment stage  28  to a second stage  26 B, using the substrate transport portion  25 . In addition, the control portion CONT causes the nozzle portion NZ to move in the −Y direction, and thus the nozzle portion NZ returns to the nozzle waiting portion  44 . 
     After the substrate S reaches the second opening portion  22  of the first chamber CB 1 , the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 2  to be opened and causes the substrate S to be transported from the first chamber CB 1  to the second chamber CB 2 , as illustrated in  FIG. 13 . When the transport step is performed, the substrate S passes through the third chamber CB 3  disposed in the connection portion CN. When the substrate S passes through the third chamber CB 3 , the control portion CONT causes the vacuum drying portion VD to perform a drying treatment on the substrate S. Specifically, after the substrate S is accommodated in the treatment chamber  50   a  of the third chamber CB 3 , the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 2  to be closed, as illustrated in  FIG. 14 . 
     After the gate valve V 2  is closed, the control portion CONT causes the lifting mechanism  53   a  to adjust the Z directional position of the heating portion  53 . Then, the control portion CONT causes the gas supply portion  58  to adjust the atmosphere in the treatment chamber  50   a  and causes the gas exhaust portion  59  to reduce the pressure in the treatment chamber  50   a,  as illustrated in  FIG. 15 . Accordingly, the pressure in the treatment chamber  50   a  is reduced, and thus evaporation of the solvent contained in the coating film of the liquid body Q formed on the substrate S is promoted. As a result, the coating film is dried. During the pressure reducing operation in which the pressure in the treatment chamber  50   a  is reduced by the gas exhaust portion  59 , the control portion CONT may cause the lifting mechanism  53   a  to adjust the Z directional position of the heating portion  53 . 
     In addition, the control portion CONT heats the coating film F on the substrate S, using the heating portion  53 , as illustrated in  FIG. 15 . Evaporation of the solvent contained in the coating film F on the substrate S is promoted by this operation, and thus it is possible to perform the drying treatment under the depressurized state, in a short time. During the hearing operation by the heating portion  53 , the control portion CONT may cause the lifting mechanism  53   a  to adjust the Z directional position of the heating portion  53 . 
     After the vacuum drying treatment is performed, the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 3  to be opened and causes the substrate S to be transported from the connection portion CN to the second chamber CB 2 , as illustrated in  FIG. 16 . After the substrate S is accommodated in the treatment chamber  60   a  of the second chamber CB 2 , the control portion CONT causes the gate valve V 3  to be closed. 
     The control portion CONT causes the first opening/closing member  84  and the second opening/closing member  85  to move such that the first opening portion  81   a  and the second opening portion  81   b  are opened, as illustrated in  FIG. 17 . Subsequently, the control portion CONT causes the substrate support portion  72   a  to move in the +X direction, and thus the substrate S passes through the first opening portion  81   a  and the second opening portion  81   b  and is inserted in the internal space K 0 . As a result, the substrate S is disposed on the heating plate  82 . 
     Next, the control portion CONT causes the lift portion  94  to move in the +Z direction, as illustrated in  FIG. 18 . Accordingly, the substrate S is separated from the substrate support portion  72   a  of the transport arm  72  and is supported by the plurality of support pins  94   a  of the lift portion  94 . In this way, the substrate S is handed over from the substrate support portion  72   a  to the lift portion  94 . After the substrate S is supported by the support pins  94   a  of the lift portion  94 , the control portion CONT causes the substrate support portion  72   a  to retreat, in the −X direction, to the outside of the chamber apparatus  70 . 
     After the substrate support portion  72   a  retreats, the control portion CONT causes the lift portion  94  to move in the −Z direction and causes the first opening/closing member  84  and the second opening/closing member  85  to move so as to close the first opening portion  81   a  and the second opening portion  81   b,  as illustrated in  FIG. 19 . Accordingly, the internal space K 0  of the chamber main body  81  is sealed. After the internal space K 0  is sealed, the control portion CONT causes the lift portion  94  to move in the −Z direction, and thus the substrate S is mounted on the heating plate  82 . In this way, the substrate S is accommodated in the internal space K 0  (an accommodation step). 
     After the substrate S is accommodated in the internal space K 0 , the control portion CONT causes the gas supply portion  87  to supply a nitrogen gas, a hydrogen sulfide gas, and a hydrogen selenide gas to the internal space K 0 , as illustrated in  FIG. 20  and causes the gas exhaust portion  89  to suck the gas in the internal space K 0 . Accordingly, the atmosphere and the pressure in the internal space K 0  are adjusted and airflows of a nitrogen gas, a hydrogen sulfide gas, and a hydrogen selenide gas are formed in the internal space K 0 . In a state where the airflows of a nitrogen gas, a hydrogen sulfide gas, and a hydrogen selenide gas are formed, the control portion CONT causes the heating plate  82  to operate, and thus the baking operation of the substrate S is performed (a heating step). Accordingly, the solvent component is evaporated from the coating film F of the substrate S and, for example, air bubbles in the coating film F are removed. In addition, for example, the solvent component and the air bubbles evaporated from the coating film F are blown away by the airflows of a nitrogen gas, a hydrogen sulfide gas, and a hydrogen selenide gas. Then, the solvent component, the air bubbles, and the likes are sucked away by the gas exhaust portion  89 . 
     In the baking operation, at least one kind of metal components contained in the coating film F is heated to the melting point or higher, and thus at least a part of the coating film F is melted. In a case where the coating film F is used for, for example, a CZTS type solar cell, Ti, S, and Se of components constituting the coating film F are heated to the melting point or higher. Accordingly, the components described above are liquefied and the coating film F is aggregated. Next, the coating film F is cooled to the temperature at which the coating film F is solidified. The coating film F is solidified, and thus the hardness of the coating film F can be increased. 
     After the baking operation described above is finished, the control portion CONT causes the operation of the heating plate  82  to be stopped, and thus the temperatures of the substrate S and the chamber main body  81  are lowered. In this case, a vaporized substance, such as metal components vaporized in the heating step, may not be exhausted and remain in the internal space K 0 . Thus, when the temperatures of the substrate S and the chamber main body  81  are naturally cooled, the vaporized substance remaining in the internal space K 0  is cooled and solidified. Thus, there is a concern that the vaporized substance may adhere to an inner portion of the chamber main body  81 . 
     To prevent the problem described above, the control portion CONT causes the temperature adjustment portion  83  to adjust the temperature of a part of the chamber main body  81 , which is in contact with the internal space K 0 , as illustrated in  FIG. 21 . Examples of a part of the chamber main body  81 , which is in contact with the internal space K 0 , include the inner surface  92   a  of the lateral wall portion  92 , and the ceiling surface  93   a  of the ceiling portion  93 . In the lateral wall portion  92 , the control portion CONT causes the sheath heater  92   d  to heat the wall member  92 S. Accordingly, the inner surface  92   a  is heated from an inner portion of the lateral wall portion  92 . In the ceiling portion  93 , the control portion CONT causes the sheath heater  93   d  to heat the ceiling plate  93 S. Thus, the ceiling surface  93   a  is heated from an inner portion of the ceiling portion  93 . 
     Since, the inner surface  92   a  and the ceiling surface  93   a  are heated by the sheath heaters  92   d  and  93   d  respectively, the inner surface  92   a  and the ceiling surface  93   a  are prevented from decreasing in temperature. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the vaporized substance remaining in the internal space K 0  from being solidified, and thus it is possible to prevent adhesion of the metal substance or the like. 
     In addition to the temperature adjustment by the temperature adjustment portion  83  described above, the control portion CONT causes the temperature adjusting medium C 1  to flow through the flow path  91   r  in the temperature adjustment plate  91 C, and thus the temperature adjustment plate  91 C is cooled. Therefore, the bottom plate  91 S and the heating plate  82  mounted on the bottom plate  91 S are cooled, and thus the substrate S is cooled via the heating plate  82 . Since the substrate S is cooled, the vaporized substance remaining in the internal space K 0  is cooled by the substrate S and solidified. As a result, the vaporized substance adheres to the substrate S. Then, the substrate S is carried out from the internal space K 0 . Thus, the vaporized substance in the internal space K 0  is discharged in a state where the vaporized substance adheres to the substrate S. Therefore, the total amount of the vaporized substance existing in the internal space K 0  is reduced. 
     In a case where the inner surface  92   a  and the ceiling surface  93   a  is heated and the substrate S is cooled, as described above, the internal space K 0  is cleaned in such a manner that the control portion CONT causes an inert gas, such as nitrogen, to be supplied to the internal space K 0  through the gas introduction port  86  and causes the gas in the internal space K 0  to be exhausted through the gas exhaust port  88 , as illustrated in  FIG. 21 . Therefore, the total amount of the vaporized substance existing in the internal space K 0  is reduced. 
     After the temperature of the substrate S is reduced to a predetermined temperature, the substrate S is carried out from the internal space K 0 . The control portion CONT causes the first opening/closing member  84  and the second opening/closing member  85  to move, such that the first opening portion  81   a  and the second opening portion  81   b  are opened, as illustrated in  FIG. 22 . Furthermore, the control portion CONT causes the lift portion  94  to move in the +Z direction, and thus the substrate S is lifted by the support pins  94   a.  Then, the control portion CONT causes the substrate support portion  72   a  of the transport arm  72  to be inserted in the internal space K 0 , and thus the substrate S is supported by the substrate support portion  72   a.  After the substrate S is supported by the substrate support portion  72   a,  the control portion CONT causes the substrate support portion  72   a  to move in the −X direction. Accordingly, the substrate S is carried out from the internal space K 0 . In addition, when the substrate S is carried out, the control portion CONT causes the temperature adjustment portion  83  to maintain heating of the inner surface  92   a  and the ceiling surface  93   a  and maintains exhaust of gas through the gas exhaust port  88 . Accordingly, solidification of the vaporized substance is prevented when the substrate is carried out and the vaporized substance existing in the internal space K 0  is exhausted. 
     After the substrate is carried out, the control portion CONT causes the temperature adjustment portion  83  to stop the heating operation, and thus the chamber main body  81  is cooled, as illustrated in  FIG. 23 . In this case, it is possible to cool the sheath heater  92   d  in such a manner that mist is supplied to the ceiling space K 3  through the mist supply port  96   b  and air is supplied to the ceiling space K 3  through the air supply port  97   b.  In the heating step described above, the vaporized substance existing in the internal space K 0  is exhausted without being solidified, and thus the chamber main body  81  is cooled in a state where metal substance or the like rarely adheres to the inner surface  92   a,  the ceiling surface  93   a,  the bottom surface  91   a,  or the like. As a result, the substrate S which is subsequently carried in is accommodated in the internal space K 0  under a clean environment. 
     The substrate S carried out from the internal space K 0  passes through the chamber apparatus  70 , the arm portion  71 , and the substrate guide stage  66 , and thus is carried out from the baking portion BK. Then, the substrate S passes through the vacuum drying portion VD and the coating application portion CT and returns to the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU. After the substrate S returns to the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, the control portion CONT causes the lid portion  14  to be opened in a state where the gate valve V 1  is closed. Subsequently, an operator collects the substrate S in the chamber  10  and set new substrate S in the accommodation chamber  10   a  of the chamber  10 . 
     In a case where, after the substrate S returns to the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, another coating film is additionally formed on the coating film F formed on the substrate S, the control portion CONT causes the substrate S to be re-transported to the coating application portion CT, and then causes the coating treatment, the vacuum drying treatment, and the baking treatment to be repeatedly performed on the substrate S. Accordingly, the coating films F are laminated on the substrate S. 
     According to the embodiment described above, the temperatures of parts (the inner surface  92   a  and the ceiling surface  93   a ) of the chamber main body  81 , which are in contact with the internal space K 0 , are adjusted by the temperature adjustment portion  83 , as described above. Thus, it is possible to prevent the vaporized substance from adhering to the inner surface  92   a  or the ceiling surface  93   a.  As a result, the substrate S can be accommodated under a clean environment. 
     Technical range of the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and the embodiment can be appropriately modified as long as it does not depart from the scope of the invention. 
     In the embodiment described above, a sheath heater is used as the temperature adjustment portion  83 , for example. However, without being limited thereto, a heating mechanism other than a sheath heater may be provided. 
     In the embodiment described above, sheath heaters constituting the temperature adjustment portion  83  are provided in only the lateral wall portion  92  and the ceiling portion  93 , for example. However, the configuration is not limited thereto. 
       FIG. 24  is a view illustrating the configuration of a chamber apparatus  70 A according to a modification example. 
     Temperature adjustment portions  83 A,  83 B, and  83 C may be provided in the opening mechanism  98 , as illustrated in  FIG. 24 . 
     The temperature adjustment portion  83 A is provided in the first member  98   a  of the opening mechanism  98 . A sheath heater  98   d,  for example, is used as the temperature adjustment portion  83 A. The sheath heaters  98   d  are disposed on the +Z side surface and the −Z side surface of the first member  98   a.  Accordingly, the temperature of an inner surface  98   e  which is in contact with the internal space K 0  can be adjusted in such a manner that the first member  98   a  is heated. Thus, it is possible to prevent the vaporized substance from being solidified and adhering to the inner surface  98   e.  Needless to say, the sheath heater  98   d  may be disposed on other positions, such as the inner surface  98   e  of the first member  98   a.    
     The temperature adjustment portion  83 B is provided in the first opening/closing member  84  of the opening mechanism  98 . The sheath heater  84   d,  for example, is used as the temperature adjustment portion  83 B. The sheath heater  84   d  is fixed to the −X side surface of the first opening/closing member  84 . Accordingly, the temperature of an inner surface  84   a  which is in contact with the internal space K 0  can be adjusted in such a manner that the first opening/closing member  84  is heated. Thus, it is possible to prevent the vaporized substance from being solidified and adhering to the inner surface  84   a.  Needless to say, the sheath heater  84   d  may be disposed on other positions, such as the +Z side surface, the −Z side surface, the +Y side surface, and the −Y side surface of the first opening/closing member  84 . 
     The temperature adjustment portion  83 C is provided in the second opening/closing member  85  of the opening mechanism  98 . The sheath heater  85   d,  for example, is used as the temperature adjustment portion  83 C. The sheath heater  85   d  is fixed to the −X side surface of the second opening/closing member  85 . Accordingly, the temperature of an inner surface  85   a  which is in contact with the internal space K 0  can be adjusted in such a manner that the second opening/closing member  85  is heated. Thus, it is possible to prevent the vaporized substance from being solidified and adhering to the inner surface  85   a.  Needless to say, the sheath heater  85   d  may be disposed on other positions, such as the +Z side surface, the −Z side surface, the +Y side surface, and the −Y side surface of the second opening/closing member  85 . 
     In the description of the embodiment, a sheath heater is used as the temperature adjustment portion  83 . However, without being limited thereto, the inner surface  92   a  and the ceiling surface  93   a  may be heated by a temperature adjusting medium. 
       FIG. 25  is a view illustrating a configuration of a chamber apparatus  70 B according to a modification example. 
     Flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr are formed in the wall member  92 S and the ceiling plate  93 S of the chamber apparatus  70 B, as illustrated in  FIG. 25 . A temperature adjusting medium C 2  can flow through the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr. The flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr communicate with each other. Thus, the temperature adjusting medium C 2  flows between the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr. 
     Known oils for temperature adjustment, for example, can be used as the temperature adjusting medium C 2 . A temperature adjusting medium supply portion  99   s  (not illustrated) is provided in the chamber apparatus  70 B to supply the temperature adjusting medium C 2  to the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr. The temperature adjusting medium supply portion has a heating portion  99   h  which heats the temperature adjusting medium C 2  to be supplied to the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr, in advance. Accordingly, the temperature adjusting medium C 2  in a heated state is supplied to the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr. When the temperature adjusting medium C 2  flows through the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr, heat of the temperature adjusting medium C 2  is transferred to the lateral wall portion  92  and the ceiling portion  93 . The heating temperature of the temperature adjusting medium C 2  can be set to substantially the temperature at which the temperatures of the lateral wall portion  92  and the ceiling portion  93  reach a predetermined temperature. This temperature can be adjusted based on the result of an experiment, simulation, actual use or the like. Furthermore, a sheath heater is not provided in the chamber apparatus  70 B. 
     According to this configuration, the temperatures of the lateral wall portion  92  and the ceiling portion  93  can be adjusted in such a manner that the temperature adjusting medium C 2  flows. Thus, upon comparison with a case where the temperature adjustment is performed using a heating wire, it is possible to reduce the power consumption. Furthermore, in the above description, the temperature adjusting medium C 2  in a heated state flows through the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr. However, the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, the temperature adjusting medium C 2  in a cooled state maybe supplied to the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr. In this case, it is possible to cool the lateral wall portion  92  and the ceiling portion  93  in a heated state. 
       FIG. 26  is a view illustrating a configuration of a chamber apparatus  70 C according to another modification example. 
     Similarly to the chamber apparatus  70 B, the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr are formed in the wall member  92 S and the ceiling plate  93 S of the chamber apparatus  70 C, as illustrated in  FIG. 26 . In the chamber apparatus  70 C, the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr are connected to the flow path  91   r  formed in the temperature adjustment plate  91 C, by a temperature adjusting medium driving portion  99 . 
     The temperature adjusting medium driving portion  99  has a first flow path  99   a,  a main body portion  99   b,  and a second flow path  99   c.  The first flow path  99   a  connects the flow path  93 Sr (or may be the flow path  92 Sr) and the main body portion  99   b.  The second flow path  99   c  connects the main body portion  99   b  and the flow path  91   r.    
     The main body portion  99   b  sucks, from the first flow path  99   a,  a temperature adjusting medium C 3  which flows through the flow path  93 Sr (or may be the flow path  92 Sr) and cools the temperature adjusting medium C 3  to a predetermined temperature. The temperature adjusting medium C 3  is supplied from the temperature adjusting medium supply portion  99 S or the like which is provided separately. After the main body portion  99   b  cools the temperature adjusting medium C 3  to the predetermined temperature, the main body portion  99   b  supplies the temperature adjusting medium C 3  to the flow path  91   r  through the second flow path  99   c.  The temperature adjusting medium C 3  supplied to the flow path  91   r  flows through the flow path  91   r,  and then is discharged, by a discharge portion (not illustrated), to the external portion of the flow path  91   r.    
     According to the configuration described above, the temperature adjusting medium C 3  can flow through the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr and the flow path  91   r,  and thus it is possible to easily manage the temperature adjusting medium C 3 . Furthermore, a common driving system can be used for the temperature adjusting medium C 3 , and thus it is possible to easily control the flow of the temperature adjusting medium C 3 . 
     The temperature adjusting medium C 3  which is discharged, through the discharge portion, to the external side of the flow path  91   r  may return to the temperature adjusting medium supply portion  99 S through a flow path (not illustrated). Accordingly, the temperature adjusting medium C 3  can circulate through the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr and the flow path  91   r,  and thus it is possible to effectively adjust the temperature. 
     In the above description, the temperature adjusting medium C 3  in a heated state is supplied to the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr and the temperature adjusting medium C 3  in a cooled state is supplied to the flow path  91   r.  However, the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, the temperature adjusting medium C 3  in a cooled state may be supplied to the flow paths  92 Sr and  93 Sr and the temperature adjusting medium C 3  in a heated state may be supplied to the flow path  91   r.    
     In the embodiment described above, the baking operation is performed in the baking portion BK of the second chamber CB 2 . However, the configuration is not limited thereto. A fourth chamber CB 4 , for example, maybe additionally provided in a position different from that of the second chamber CB 2  and the substrate S may be heated by a heating portion HT provided in the fourth chamber CB 4 , as illustrated in  FIG. 27 . 
     In this case, after the coating film F is laminated on the substrate S, for example, a heating treatment (a second heating step) for baking the laminated coating film F can be performed in the heating portion HT of the fourth chamber CB 4 . During the heating treatment in the second heating step, the coating film F is heated at a heating temperature higher than the temperature in the heating treatment by the baking portion BK. A solid content (a metal component) in the laminated coating film F can be crystallized by the heating treatment, and thus it is possible to further improve the quality of the coating film F. 
     The heating operation subsequent to laminating of the coating film F on the substrate S maybe performed in the baking portion BK of the second chamber CB 2 . In this case, in the baking portion BK, the temperature maybe controlled such that the heating temperature at the time of baking the coating films F in a laminated state is higher than the heating temperature at the time of baking each coating film F. 
     In the embodiment described above, in the vacuum drying portion VD, the heating portion  53  is disposed on the −Z side (a lower side in a vertical direction) of the substrate S. However, without being limited thereto, the heating portion  53  may be disposed on, for example, the +Z side (an upper side in the vertical direction) of the substrate S. Furthermore, the heating portion  53  may be movable between the −Z side position and the +Z side position of the substrate S, using the lifting mechanism  53   a.  In this case, the heating portion  53  may be formed in a shape (for example, an opening portion being provided in the heating portion  53 ) in which the plurality of rollers  57  constituting the substrate transport portion  55  can pass through the heating portion  53 . 
     The coating applicator CTR may have a configuration in which the first chamber CB 1  having the coating application portion CT, the connection portion CN having the vacuum drying portion VD, and the second chamber CB 2  having the baking portion BK are repeatedly arranged on the +X side of the substrate supplying/collecting portion LU, as illustrated in  FIG. 28 . 
     A configuration in which the first chamber CB 1 , the connection portion CN, and the second chamber CB 2  are repeatedly arranged three times is illustrated in  FIG. 28 . However the configuration is not limited thereto. The first chamber CB 1 , the connection portion CN, and the second chamber CB 2  may be repeatedly arranged two times or the first chamber CB 1 , the connection portion CN, and the second chamber CB 2  may be repeatedly arranged four or more times. 
     According to the configuration described above, the first chamber CB 1 , the connection portion CN, and the second chamber CB 2  are repeatedly arranged in the X direction in serial. Accordingly, it is only necessary to transport the substrate S in one direction (the +X direction) and it is not necessary to reciprocate the substrate S in the X direction, and thus it is possible to continuously perform laminating processes of the coating film on the substrate S. As a result, it is possible to effectively form the coating film on the substrate S. 
     The shapes of the respective components and the combinations thereof described in the above example are only examples and can be modified in various ways, based on the design requirements or the likes. In the embodiment described above, the coating application portion CT has a configuration using a slit type nozzle portion NZ, for example. However, without being limited thereto, a central dripping type coating application portion, for example, may be used or ink jet type coating application portion may be used. Furthermore, application may be performed by spreading the liquid body on the substrate S, using a squeegee, for example. 
     In a case where, for example, a treatment using the coating applicator CTR is performed, in at least one of chamber facilities, each of which includes the first chamber CB 1 , the second chamber CB 2 , the third chamber CB 3 , and the chamber apparatus  70 , if it is necessary, a maintenance process or a process (for example, moving the structure, cleaning, atmosphere adjustment, temperature adjustment) for setting an ambient state or the inner state of the chamber apparatus to a predetermined state (for example, an initial state, a predetermined atmosphere state, and a predetermined temperature state) may be appropriately performed at a predetermined timing (including a time before or after the treatment is performed in each chamber, for example, before or after the substrate S is carried in/out to/from the chamber apparatus, before or after the liquid body Q is discharged through the nozzle portion NZ, before or after the heating portion  53  performs the heating operation, before or after the heating plate  82  performs the heating operation) in an operation period or in a non-operation period. 
     When, for example, the maintenance process described above or each process for setting the state to the predetermined state is performed, cleaning may be performed using, for example, a cleaning solution. Alternatively, at least one gas of various kinds of gases, such as nitrogen gas, oxygen gas, argon gas, air, water vapor, or other kinds of gas may be appropriately supplied to a periphery or the inner portion of each chamber apparatus, using the gas supply portion  58 , the gas supply portion  87 , or a configuration corresponding thereto. In addition, if it is necessary, a transporting system (for example, a roller, and an arm) maybe appropriately operated. 
     In the embodiment described above, when the coating applicator CTR is accommodated in one room, a gas supply/discharge portion for adjusting the atmosphere of the room may be provided. In this case, for example, a vaporized solvent in the atmosphere of the room can be exhausted using the gas supply/discharge portion, and thus cleaning of the atmosphere can be performed on the entirety of the room. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably prevent a coating application condition from changing. 
     The components which are described as the embodiment or the modification examples thereof can be appropriately combined, as long as it does not depart from the scope of the invention. Some of a plurality of the components which are used in combination may be appropriately removed. 
     While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description, and is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
