Abstract

A film peeling device includes a chamber, a lower stage disposed on a first wall of the chamber, first to fourth grippers capable of peeling first to fourth sides of a film by gripping the first to fourth sides of the film attached to an object disposed on the lower stage and an upper stage disposed on a second wall of the chamber facing the first wall of the chamber and capable of extending in a first direction in which the object is disposed.

Claims (35)

1. A method of peeling film comprising:

arranging an object on a lower stage disposed on a first wall of a chamber positioned in a first direction of the chamber;

gripping first to fourth sides of a film attached to the object by using first to fourth grippers disposed inside the chamber; and

peeling the first to fourth sides of the film attached to the object by moving the first to fourth grippers.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

an upper stage is disposed on a second wall of the chamber facing the first wall of the chamber, and

the upper stage includes:

a support part disposed on the second wall of the chamber;

an extension part at least partially disposed inside the support part; and

an adsorption part disposed at an end of the extension part in the first direction.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising, after the peeling of the first to fourth sides of the film:

adsorbing the object by moving the extension part of the upper stage in the first direction; and

separating the object from the film by moving the extension part in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the separating of the object includes:

tilting the upper stage to separate only a portion of the film from the object.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising, after the separating of the object:

transporting the upper stage and the object together with a transport part disposed between the second wall of the chamber and the upper stage.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peeling of the first to fourth sides of the film includes moving the first to fourth grippers in the first direction to peel the film attached to the object.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the peeling of the first to fourth sides of the film includes moving the first to fourth grippers in a direction between the first direction and a direction perpendicular to the first direction to peel the film attached to the object.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of connection elements are disposed between the first wall of the chamber and the lower stage, and

each of the plurality of connection elements includes:

a support part disposed on the first wall of the chamber; and

an extension part at least partially disposed inside the support part.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein

an upper stage is disposed on a second will of the chamber facing the first wall of the chamber;

the upper stage includes:

a support part disposed on the second wall of the chamber;

an extension part at least partially disposed inside the support part; and

an adsorption part disposed at an end of the extension part in the first direction, and

the method further comprises, after the peeling of the first to fourth sides of the film:

adsorbing the object by the upper stage by moving the extension part in a second direction; and

separating the film from the object by moving the extension part in the first direction.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the separating of the object includes:

tilting the upper stage to separate only a portion of the film from the object.
