摘要： Transport mechanisms are respectively provided in first and second processing blocks. Each transport mechanism has a hand. The hand holds the other surface of a substrate without coming into contact with an edge of the substrate. The hand is moved such that the substrate is transported between an adhesion reinforcement processing unit or a cooling unit and a coating processing unit or a development processing unit. In the adhesion reinforcement processing unit and the cooling unit, temperature processing is performed on the substrate while the back surface of the substrate is held by suction. In the coating processing unit and the development processing unit, a processing liquid is supplied to the main surface of the substrate while the back surface of the substrate is held by suction by a spin chuck.

摘要： A processing liquid is supplied onto a substrate rotated by a spin chuck in a coating processing unit so that a film of the processing liquid is formed, and a rinse liquid is supplied to a peripheral edge of the substrate so that a processing liquid on the peripheral edge of the substrate is removed. An edge cut width between a position of an outer peripheral portion of the substrate rotated by the spin chuck in an edge exposure unit and a position of an outer peripheral portion of a film on the substrate is detected. Based on the detected edge cut width, a positional deviation of the center of the substrate held in the spin chuck from a rotation center of the spin chuck in the coating processing unit is determined while a supply state of the rinse liquid by an edge rinse nozzle is determined.

摘要： An edge exposure unit includes a projector, a projector holding unit, a substrate rotating unit, an outer edge detecting unit and a surface inspection processing unit. Each component of the projector holding unit operates to move the projector in an X direction and a Y direction. The projector irradiates a peripheral portion of a substrate with light transmitted from a light source for exposure through a light guide. Edge sampling processing is performed based on distribution of an amount of light received in a CCD line sensor of the outer edge detecting unit. Surface inspection processing is performed based on distribution of an amount of light received in a CCD line sensor of the surface inspection processing unit.

摘要： An aligner includes a plurality of substrate rotators and a shaft member. Each substrate rotator includes a holder, a notch detector, an electromagnetic clutch and a driving belt. Each holder sucks the back surface of the substrate under vacuum and horizontally holds the substrate. Each notch detector detects a notch formed at the substrate, and supplies a detection result to the corresponding electromagnetic clutch as a detection signal. One end of the shaft member is connected to a motor. The shaft member is continuously rotated by the motor. Each electromagnetic clutch switches to a connection state in which rotational force of an inner periphery is transmitted to an outer periphery and a disconnection state in which rotational force of the inner periphery is transmitted to the outer periphery according to a detection signal supplied from the notch detector.
