A substrate cleaning apparatus includes a support inside a chamber to hold a substrate, a first supply source inside the chamber that includes a first nozzle along a first direction and facing an upper surface of the support, the first nozzle to spray polymer and solvent onto the substrate to form a coating, and a second nozzle at an oblique angle to the first direction and facing an edge of the support to inject a hot gas toward the coating to volatilize the solvent, a second supply source inside the chamber and having a third nozzle facing the upper surface of the support to inject a peeling treatment to the coating to peel the coating from the substrate, and a third supply source inside the chamber and facing a lower surface of the support to inject the hot gas to heat a second surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of rinsing and drying a semiconductor device, including forming a pattern on a substrate; rinsing the substrate, where the pattern is formed, using a rinse solution; loading the substrate into a dry chamber; injecting supercritical carbon dioxide into the dry chamber such that rinse solution remaining on the pattern is diluted to have a concentration below 2 percent by weight based on a weight of the rinse solution remaining on the pattern and the supercritical carbon dioxide; and venting the supercritical carbon dioxide such that the dry chamber is maintained at atmospheric pressure to dry the substrate where the pattern is formed.
Abstract:
A substrate treating apparatus including a support member configured to support a substrate container configured to surround an upper portion of the support member, a nozzle member including at least one nozzle, which is configured to spray a treating solution onto the substrate disposed on the support member, and a treating solution supply unit connected to the nozzle and configured to supply the treating solution to the nozzle through a main tube may be provided.
Abstract:
A substrate treating apparatus includes a fluid supply unit to supply a fluid to a chamber. The substrate is dried in the chamber using the fluid in a supercritical state. The fluid supply unit includes a storing tank to store the fluid and a conversion tank connected to the storing tank through a connection tube and to the chamber through a supply tube. The conversion tank includes a heater to heat the fluid.
Abstract:
The inventive concepts provide a method of completely removing a damage region of a surface of an etch target layer after plasma-etching the etch target layer. The method includes performing a first post-etch plasma treatment process using a first post-treatment gas on the plasma-etched etch target layer. A polarity of ions of the first post-treatment gas may be the same as a polarity of bias power applied to a stage in a plasma apparatus.

Abstract:
A substrate treatment apparatus includes a seal on at least one of upper or lower chambers of a process chamber. The seal hermetically closes the substrate treatment region, and may be at a location to prevent a gap from forming between the upper and lower chambers. The lower chamber includes an inner wall and an outer wall defining a groove including the seal. The inner wall has a top surface lower than that of the outer wall. The seal has an atypical cross-sectional shape with a recess facing the substrate treatment region.
