Abstract:
A substrate cleaning device (31) includes a roll cleaning member (61) and a rotation holding portion (100). The rotation holding portion (100) includes a non-contact sealing portion (140) that is disposed between a bearing portion (130) and the roll cleaning member (61) to seal a gap between a shaft portion (110) and a housing portion (120). The non-contact sealing portion (140) includes a rotating portion (150) that is attached to the shaft portion (110) and has a plurality of protrusion portions (151) formed on a peripheral surface (150a) of the rotating portion (150) at intervals in an axial direction, and a fixed portion (160) that is attached to the housing portion (120), surrounds the plurality of protrusion portions (151), and has a gas supply hole (161) formed in an inner peripheral surface (160a) of the fixed portion (160) surrounding the plurality of protrusion portions (151), the gas supply hole (161) supplying a compressed gas (200) from a position inward of the protrusion portions (151) in the axial direction, which are disposed at both end portions in the axial direction, among the plurality of protrusion portions (151).
Abstract:
A polishing pad for polishing a workpiece to a mirror finish is attached to a rotatable polishing table of a chemical mechanical polishing apparatus. The workpiece, such as a metal body, is held by a carrier and pressed against the polishing pad. This polishing pad includes: an elastic pad having a polishing surface; a deformable base layer that supports the elastic pad; and an adhesive layer that joins the elastic pad to the base layer.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, provided is a cleaning liquid supplying system including: a circulation line in which cleaning liquid flows, first end of the circulation line being connected to a supply port of a cleaning liquid supplying apparatus, second end of the circulation line being connected to a collection port of the cleaning liquid supplying apparatus; a branch pipe branched from the circulation line and connected to a substrate cleaning unit; a valve provided on the branch pipe and configured to control supply of cleaning liquid from the circulation line to the substrate cleaning unit; and a flow rate adjuster configured to adjust a flow rate of the cleaning liquid flowing in the circulation line.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus that can quickly transport a polished substrate (e.g., a wafer) to a cleaning module is disclosed. A first processing unit includes: a polishing module configured to polish the substrate W; a cleaning module configured to clean the substrate W; a drying module configured to dry the cleaned substrate W; a substrate transporter extending from one side to opposite side of the first processing unit; an elevating transporter configured to transport the substrate from the substrate transporter to the polishing module and from the polishing module to the cleaning module; and a relay transporter configured to transport the substrate. The relay transporter of the first processing unit is configured to transport the substrate between processing units.
