    摘要: A stage cleaning substrate for use in the operation of cleaning a substrate stage within an exposure unit compatible with immersion exposure and a dummy substrate for use during the adjustment of an exposure position of a pattern image are held in a cleaning substrate housing part and a dummy substrate housing part, respectively, provided in a substrate processing apparatus. For the operation of cleaning the substrate stage or an alignment operation within the exposure unit, the stage cleaning substrate or the dummy substrate is transported from the substrate processing apparatus to the exposure unit. The process of cleaning the stage cleaning substrate or the dummy substrate is performed in a cleaning processing unit of the substrate processing apparatus immediately before or immediately after the operation of cleaning the substrate stage or the alignment operation.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus for performing an exposure process by printing a pattern on a substrate coated with a photosensitive material includes an exposure part for performing an immersion exposure process, a cleaning part and a transport mechanism which are provided within an exposure chamber. After the exposure part performs the immersion exposure process on the substrate, the substrate is transported to the cleaning part and is cleaned therein. If the liquid used during the immersion exposure process remains on the substrate after the exposure process, the substrate is cleaned in the cleaning part immediately after the exposure process. This prevents the remaining liquid from adhering to and contaminating mechanisms within the substrate processing apparatus. Also, the cleaning part is able to clean a dummy substrate for use in an alignment process in the exposure part.

    摘要: The transporting process from cleaning and drying processing of a substrate in a cleaning/drying processing unit in a cleaning/drying processing group to post-exposure bake (PEB) of the substrate in a thermal processing group for post-exposure bake in a cleaning/drying processing block is described below. First, after the substrate after exposure processing is subjected to the cleaning and drying processing in the cleaning/drying processing group, a sixth central robot takes out the substrate from the cleaning/drying processing group and carries that substrate into the thermal processing group for post-exposure bake in the cleaning/drying processing block.

    摘要: After a development liquid on a substrate is washed away with a rinse liquid, the rotational speed of the substrate is reduced, so that a liquid layer of the rinse liquid is formed over a top surface of the substrate. Thereafter, the rotational speed of the substrate is increased. The increase in the rotational speed of the substrate causes a centrifugal force to be slightly greater than tension, thereby causing the liquid layer to be held on the substrate with the thickness thereof in its peripheral portion increased and the thickness thereof at the center thereof decreased. Then, gas is discharged toward the center of the liquid layer from a gas supply nozzle, so that a hole is formed at the center of the liquid layer. This causes tension that is balanced with a centrifugal force exerted on the peripheral portion of the liquid layer to disappear. Furthermore, the rotational speed of the substrate is further increased while the gas is discharged. Thus, the liquid layer moves outward from the substrate.
