    摘要: A heat treatment apparatus for applying a predetermined heat treatment to a substrate includes: for example, a dielectric low oxygen controlled cure unit (DLC unit) for forming an interlayer insulating film on a semiconductor wafer W; a hot plate for supporting the wafer W a predetermined distance apart from the surface thereof; a chamber for housing the wafer W; a gas collecting port formed in that portion of the hot plate which corresponds to the lower side of the wafer W when the wafer W is disposed on the hot plate; and an oxygen sensor for measuring the oxygen concentration in the gas collected from the gas collecting port. Since the oxygen concentration can be measured during the heat treatment to the wafer W, the characteristics of the interlayer insulating film formed can be maintained constant.

    摘要: After a first processing solution is spread over the front surface of a substrate and the temperature of the front surface of the substrate is regulated at a predetermined substrate temperature, a second processing solution is spread over the front surface of the substrate. The second processing solution can be spread while the front surface temperature of the substrate is maintained at the predetermined substrate temperature. Hence, a layer insulating film with good adhesion properties can be formed uniformly on the front surface of the substrate, and the quantity of the processing solution to be used can be reduced.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for subjecting a substrate on which a coating film is formed to heat processing, and the method comprises the steps of heating the substrate to a predetermined high temperature and decreasing the temperature of the substrate to a predetermined low temperature, wherein in the step of decreasing the temperature of the substrate to the low temperature, a first step of decreasing the temperature of the substrate from the predetermined high temperature to a predetermined intermediate temperature and a second step of decreasing the temperature of the substrate from the intermediate temperature to the predetermined low temperature are performed separately. In the present invention, the step of decreasing the temperature of the substrate, which is heated to the high temperature, to the predetermined low temperature is divided into two stages as described above, and hence compared with a case where the temperature of the substrate is rapidly decreased nonstop from the high temperature to the low temperature, the temperature decreasing speed of the substrate is reduced, whereby cracks, a warp, and the like caused by the rapid cooling of the substrate can be prevented.

    摘要: In a hot plate for performing heat processing while an inert gas is supplied, a mounting table is provided with a groove and a lower end portion of a lid body can be inserted into the groove. The lid body is lowered in two steps by a lid body drive apparatus. The lid body forms a processing chamber between the lid body and the mounting table by the lowering of the first step, and the lower end portion of the lid body is inserted into the groove by the lowering of the second step, thereby reducing the processing chamber in capacity. Consequently, in a substrate processing apparatus which requires a supply of gas, it becomes possible to reduce the capacity of the processing chamber and to reduce the required amount of gas.
