Abstract

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an assembly for supporting substrate, the assembly comprising: a support frame having at least one insertion hole recessed from one surface of the support frame, the insertion hole having an inner movement hole and a screw hole positioned outside the inner movement hole; and a substrate support member including a shaft body inserted into the insertion hole with one end of the shaft body and a pin shaft connected to the shaft body to support the substrate in contact, wherein the shaft body having an inner screw body inserted into the insertion hole and positioned in the inner movement hole and a connection body disposed between the inner screw body and the pin shaft and positioned in the screw hole, wherein the inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than the diameter of the inner movement hole and the outer diameter of the inner screw body, the inner screw body is capable of passing through the screw hole by rotation.

Claims (42)

1. An assembly for supporting a substrate, the assembly comprising:

a support frame having at least one insertion hole, the insertion hole having an inner movement hole, a screw hole positioned outside the inner movement hole, and an outer movement hole positioned outside the screw hole; and

a substrate support member including a shaft body and a pin shaft connected to the shaft body to support the substrate in contact, wherein the shaft body has an inner screw body inserted into the insertion hole and positioned in the inner movement hole, a connection body disposed between the inner screw body and the pin shaft and positioned in the screw hole, and an outer body disposed between the connection body and the pin shaft and positioned in the outer movement hole,

wherein an inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than a diameter of the inner movement hole and an outer diameter of the inner screw body, and the inner screw body is capable of passing through the screw hole by rotation,

wherein the inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than a diameter of the outer movement hole and a diameter of the outer body, and

wherein the insertion hole is recessed from one surface of the support frame, and one end of the shaft body is capable of being inserted into the insertion hole through an entrance of the insertion hole.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the connection body is greater than a length of the screw hole.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame has:

a ring-shaped base; and

a support rod installed on an upper surface of the base, the inner movement hole and the screw hole being formed in the support rod.

4. An assembly for supporting a substrate, the assembly comprising:

a support frame having at least one insertion hole, the insertion hole having an inner movement hole, a screw hole positioned outside the inner movement hole, and an outer movement hole positioned outside the screw hole; and

a substrate support member including a shaft body and a pin shaft connected to the shaft body to support the substrate in contact, wherein the shaft body has an inner screw body inserted into the insertion hole and positioned in the inner movement hole, a connection body disposed between the inner screw body and the pin shaft and positioned in the screw hole, and an outer body disposed between the connection body and the pin shaft and positioned in the outer movement hole,

wherein an inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than a diameter of the inner movement hole and an outer diameter of the inner screw body, and the inner screw body is capable of passing through the screw hole by rotation,

wherein the inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than a diameter of the outer movement hole and a minimum diameter of the outer body,

wherein the insertion hole is recessed from one surface of the support frame, and one end of the shaft body is capable of being inserted into the insertion hole through an entrance of the insertion hole, and

wherein the outer movement hole is inclined inward toward a center and the outer body is inclined inward toward the center.

5. The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein a length of the connection body is greater than a length of the screw hole.

6. The assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the support frame has:

a ring-shaped base; and

a support rod installed on an upper surface of the base, the inner movement hole and the screw hole being formed in the support rod.

7. An apparatus for processing a substrate, the apparatus comprising:

a reaction chamber;

a substrate support for supporting the substrate to be processed in the reaction chamber; and

a substrate support assembly capable of supporting the substrate to be processed to be lifted from the substrate support,

wherein the substrate support assembly comprises:

a support frame having at least one insertion hole, the insertion hole having an inner movement hole, a screw hole positioned outside the inner movement hole, and an outer movement hole positioned outside the screw hole; and

a substrate support member including a shaft body and a pin shaft connected to the shaft body to support the substrate in contact, wherein the shaft body has an inner screw body inserted into the insertion hole and positioned in the inner movement hole, a connection body disposed between the inner screw body and the pin shaft and positioned in the screw hole, and an outer body disposed between the connection body and the pin shaft and positioned in the outer movement hole,

wherein an inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than a diameter of the inner movement hole and an outer diameter of the inner screw body, and the inner screw body is capable of passing through the screw hole by rotation,

wherein the inner diameter of the screw hole is smaller than a diameter of the outer movement hole and a diameter of the outer body, and

wherein the insertion hole is recessed from one surface of the support frame, and one end of the shaft body is capable of being inserted into the insertion hole through an entrance of the insertion hole.

8. An apparatus for processing a substrate, the apparatus comprising:

a reaction chamber;
