Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A substrate processing apparatus including a lower jig plate for arranging a substrate which is an object to be pressurized, columnar members supporting the lower jig plate, and a heat dissipating column contacting the lower jig plate directly or indirectly and having a higher heat dissipation property than the columnar members.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A substrate processing apparatus comprising a lower jig plate for arranging an object to be pressurized, columnar members supporting the lower jig plate, and a heat dissipating column contacting the lower jig plate directly or indirectly and having a higher heat dissipation property than the columnar members, wherein the heat dissipating column includes a column main body, and a cover portion covering the column main body and comprising a material with a higher thermal conductivity than the column main body. 2. The substrate processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipating column includes heat dissipating columns, and the heat dissipating columns are arranged in accordance with an in-plane distribution of temperature of the lower jig plate. 3. The substrate processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the cover portion is attached at a top of the column main body, and a resilient member is provided between the cover portion and the top of the column main body. 4. The substrate processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the heat dissipating column is provided at a position where a large load is applied to the lower jig plate. 5. The substrate processing apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising an installation portion where the columnar members and the heat dissipating column are installed.
