Abstract

Provided is a spin head supporting a substrate and rotating the substrate. The spin head includes a body, chuck pins installed on the body and moving between supporting positions where a substrate is supported and waiting positions providing space for loading/unloading of the substrate, and a chuck pin moving unit configured to move the chuck pins. The chuck pin moving unit includes a rotation rod coupled with each of the chuck pins, a pivot pin fixing the rotation rod to the body, and a driving member rotating the rotation rod about the pivot pin as a rotation shaft to move the chuck pin from the supporting position to the waiting position. When the body rotates, the rotation rod uses reverse centrifugal force to apply force to the chuck pin from the waiting position to the supporting position. The chuck pins include first pins and second pins that alternately chuck a substrate during a process.
