Abstract

A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus for a photolithographic process having a coating process and a developing process is described, which includes a first port, a second port, a coating member, and a developing member. The first port and second port have a constant distance from each other, where a substrate comes in and goes out. The coating member, which couples the first port to the second port, carries the substrate between the first port and the second port and carries out the coating process. The developing member, which couples the first port to the second port and is stacked on the coating member, carries the substrate therebetween and carries out the developing process. The apparatus can stably maintain an operating ratio of equipment, and be installed in a relatively small area.
