Abstract: A processing fluid can be discharged according to a discharge type for a process involved, without a discharge defect. A substrate processing apparatus includes a nozzle and a pipeline. The nozzle is configured to discharge the processing fluid toward a substrate, and the processing fluid is supplied to the nozzle through the pipeline. The pipeline has a three-layer structure having a first layer, a second layer and a third layer in this sequence from an inner side thereof. Further, a leading end portion of the first layer and a leading end portion of the third layer are bonded to the nozzle, and the leading end portion of the first layer is located at a position which is not protruded more than a leading end portion of the second layer with respect to a discharging direction of the processing fluid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a substrate processing apparatus including: a holding unit configured to hold a substrate; a processing liquid supply unit configured to supply a first processing liquid and a second processing liquid to the substrate; a first cup configured to recover the first processing liquid; a second cup disposed adjacent to the first cup and configured to recover the second processing liquid; a recovery portion defined by a peripheral wall portion that is erected on a bottom portion of the first cup; and a cleaning liquid supply unit configured to supply a cleaning liquid to the recovery portion. The peripheral wall portion is cleaned by causing the cleaning liquid supplied by the cleaning liquid supply unit to overflow from the peripheral wall portion to the second cup side.

Abstract: A liquid processing apparatus performs a liquid processing on a rotating substrate by supplying a processing liquid. Surrounding members surround a region including an upper space of a cup body surrounding the rotating substrate and provided with an opening above the substrate. An air flow forming portion forms a descending air flow from an upper side of the cup body. A bottom surface portion blocks between the cup body and the surrounding member along a circumferential direction. An exhaust port is provided above the bottom surface portion and outside the cup body to exhaust an atmosphere in a region surrounded by the surrounding members and the bottom surface portion.

Abstract: When a substrate W is processed, a ring-shaped protective wall is located above the substrate held by the substrate holding unit and extends in a circumferential direction of the substrate. A radial position of an external periphery of a lower end of the protective wall is the same as a radial position of an internal periphery of a peripheral portion of an upper surface of the substrate held by a substrate holding unit, or is located at a radial outside. A first gap is formed between the protective wall and an upper surface of the substrate, a second gap is formed between the protective wall and a wall that defines the upper opening of the cup, and when the interior space of the cup is exhausted, a gas present above the substrate is introduced through the first gap and the second gap into the interior space of the cup.

Abstract: When a substrate W is processed, a cover member covers a peripheral portion of the upper surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding unit, and a central portion of the substrate located at an inner position than the peripheral portion in a radial direction is exposed without being covered by the cover member. A gap is formed between the lower surface of the cover member and the peripheral portion of the upper surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding unit. When the interior space of the cup is exhausted, a gas present above the interior space of the cup is introduced from a space enclosed by the internal peripheral surface of the cover member through the gap into the interior space of the cup.
