Abstract:
In a processing apparatus, a delivery unit for delivering a wafer includes a first wafer holding pad detachably coupled to the tip end of a mobile unit, for holding the wafer, and an unloading unit for unloading and loading a wafer includes a second wafer holding pad detachably coupled to the tip end of a mobile unit, for holding the wafer. The processing apparatus also includes a wafer holding pad storage unit for storing a plurality of first and second wafer holding pads available in a plurality of types matching different kinds of wafers. Before the wafer is unloaded from a cassette, the delivery unit and the unloading unit are equipped respectively with the first wafer holding pad and the second wafer holding pad that correspond to the wafer.

Claim (Index 1):
A processing apparatus comprising:\n a cassette placing unit for placing thereon a cassette that houses a plurality of wafers therein; an unloading unit for unloading a wafer from the cassette placed on the cassette placing unit; a delivery unit for delivering the wafer unloaded by the unloading unit; a plurality of processing/treating units disposed adjacent to the delivery unit, for performing respective different processing or treating processes on the wafer; and a control unit for controlling the cassette placing unit, the unloading unit, the delivery unit, and the processing/treating units, wherein the delivery unit includes a straight guide rail, a mobile unit movably supported on the straight guide rail, and a first wafer holding pad for holding the wafer, the first wafer holding pad being detachably coupled to a tip end of the mobile unit, the unloading unit includes a second wafer holding pad for holding the wafer and a mobile robot for unloading or loading a wafer, the second wafer holding pad being detachably coupled to a tip end of the mobile robot, the processing apparatus further includes a wafer holding pad storage unit for storing a plurality of first wafer holding pads and second wafer holding pads available in a plurality of types matching different kinds of wafers, and before the wafer is unloaded from the cassette, the delivery unit and the unloading unit are equipped respectively with the first wafer holding pad and the second wafer holding pad which correspond to the wafer.
