Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus includes a holding device that includes a conductive member and holds a substrate, a conduction path structure that includes a conductive material and positioned such that the conduction path structure is in contact with the holding device, a supply device that supplies a processing liquid to the substrate held by the holding device, and a grounding structure including a variable resistance device that changes a resistance such that the grounding structure has a first end portion connected the conduction path structure and a second end portion connected to a ground potential.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus comprises a processing tub and a fluid supply. In the processing tub, a processing is performed on multiple substrates by immersing the multiple substrates in a processing liquid. The fluid supply is disposed under the multiple substrates within the processing tub and configured to discharge a fluid to generate a liquid flow of the processing liquid within the processing tub. Further, the fluid supply includes multiple discharge paths configured to discharge the fluid to different regions in an arrangement direction of the multiple substrates.
Abstract:
A chemical fluid processing apparatus and a chemical fluid processing method are described, to treat a substrate with a plurality of chemical fluids such that substantially constant temperature is maintained across a substrate surface. The apparatus includes a discharge nozzle above the substrate to supply a first chemical fluid at a first temperature to a front surface of the substrate, a bar nozzle oriented in a radial direction of the substrate to supply a second chemical fluid at a second temperature to the front surface or a back surface of the substrate, the second temperature being higher than the first temperature, and where the bar nozzle includes a plurality of outlets for discharging the second chemical fluid to a plurality of contacting places on the front surface or the back surface of the substrate at different distances from the center of the substrate.
