Abstract

A bake unit includes a cooling plate for cooling a substrate and a lift pin assembly for loading a substrate on the cooling plate. When a wafer is cooled on the cooling plate, a guide groove is formed at the cooling plate to allow a space between the wafer and the cooling plate to communicate with the exterior. Thus, an inner pressure of the space is maintained to be equal to an outer pressure thereof.
