Device and method relates to the present invention refers to for treating substrate, heat treating the as-various kinds of substrate relates to device and method.

[2]

Semiconductor device and electrophotographic process for its manufacture is flat display panel, etching, ashing, thin film deposition, and cleaning process of a polyimide resin, such processes are is carried out. This process are robot for transferring substrate one to a processing section substrate are sequentially and to transport at, each processing a web part manager traces which one substrate or plurality of for processing a substrate treating a. E.g., partial flow and returning it to the coating treatment substrate electrophotographic equipment is installed a photoresist layer is formed on the substrate, and returned into the exposure of the substrate is carried out processing unit wherein processing photoresist, a development process is performed to a processing section tearoom waitress seat screen developing the ALIGN key or an exposure and returned into the.

[3]

Generally a photo process, the before and after the process is performed for thermally processing substrates a bake process is carried out. Bake process surface to load the substrate on the heating plate, heating via a heater unit and is heated same substrate. Heating plurality of heating plate revolved provided, heating zones are provided in heating plate respectively through heater is heating. However heating zone, the or an alien substance from an electric gun, erroneous judgement of a robot during a coordinate abnormal substrate due to. the syringe may be seated. Thereby is processing is heated non-uniformly substrate.

[4]

Purified from each heating zone to measure the temperature sensors is provided. Heating each sensors are and to measure the temperature of some, the measuring values in maximum. value is computed in a difference between and a minimum value. The difference value higher than a reference value setting if it is determined that the, same clock controller outputs an abnormal state, generate caustic alarm.

The apparatus for treating a substrate comprises: a heating plate having a plurality of heating zones on an upper surface, and where the substrate is settled; a heater located in the heating plate to heat each heating zone; a measurement member measuring the temperature of each heating zone; and a controller receiving a temperature value measured from the measurement member and deciding a settlement condition of the substrate. The measurement member face the heating plate around a central axis, and comprises temperature sensors having a first sensor and a second sensor measuring the different temperature of heating zones. The controller decides the settlement condition of the substrate based on a first difference value between a first temperature value provided from the first sensor, and a second temperature value provided from the second sensor. Also, the controller separates the normal settlement condition about a central area and an edge area of the substrate and decides the same, thereby precisely understanding the settlement condition about the substrate in which one surface is round.
