    摘要: After a developing step, a substrate is spun at high speeds without supplying a cleaning liquid to a surface of the substrate. This causes a large centrifugal force to act on a developer on a resist film. Consequently, the developer can be removed rapidly from the surface of the substrate. As a result, development can be stopped at an expected timing. Moreover, a circuit pattern having an expected dimension can be obtained. At this time, a dissolved product is also removable with the developer from the substrate. This can avoid failure in development caused by the dissolved product. Consequently, suitably maintained quality of negative development can be achieved with a reduced usage amount of the cleaning liquid.

    摘要翻译: 在显影步骤之后,基板以高速旋转,而不向基板的表面提供清洁液体。 这导致大的离心力作用在抗蚀剂膜上的显影剂上。 因此,可以从基板的表面迅速去除显影剂。 因此,可以在预期的时机停止开发。 此外,可以获得具有预期尺寸的电路图案。 此时,溶解的产物也可与显影剂从基底中去除。 这可以避免溶解产物引起的开发失败。 因此,通过减少清洗液的使用量,可以实现适当保持的显影质量。

    摘要: The back surface of a substrate having a front surface coated with a resist film is irradiated with flashes of light emitted from flash lamps. Heat conduction from the back surface of the substrate abruptly raised in temperature by the irradiation with flashes of light toward the front surface thereof occurs to heat the resist film formed on the front surface of the substrate, so that a post-applied bake process is performed. After the completion of the post-applied bake process, a cooling plate cools down the substrate. Regardless of the type of resist film formed on the front surface of the substrate, the substrate has a constant absorptance of flashes of light to allow the resist film to be heated to a constant treatment temperature, because the back surface of the substrate is irradiated with flashes of light.

    摘要: The invention provides coating units, heat-treating units, and a first main transport mechanism for transporting substrates to each of these treating units. The substrates are transferred from the first main transport mechanism to a second main transport mechanism through a receiver. When a substrate cannot be placed on the receiver, this substrate is placed on a buffer. Thus, the first main transport mechanism can continue transporting other substrates. The other substrates in the treating units are transported between the treating units without delay, to receive a series of treatments including coating treatment and heat treatment as scheduled. This prevents lowering of the quality of treatment for forming film on the substrates.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus is configured to provide in series a plurality of processing blocks, each block including a processing unit and a transport robot transporting a substrate. A substrate rest is provided in a connecting portion of adjacent processing blocks. A sensor plate with sensor coils is provided spanning over support pins of the substrate rest. Once a temperature-measurement substrate with temperature-measuring elements, each element formed by connecting a coil to a quartz resonator, is placed on the support pins, a transmitter-receiver transmits transmission waves corresponding to the characteristic frequencies of the quartz resonators to the temperature-measuring elements through the sensor coils. After the stop of the transmission, the transmitter-receiver receives electromagnetic waves from the temperature-measuring elements through the sensor coils, and the temperature computer computes the substrate temperature based on the frequencies of the electromagnetic waves.

A first flange is integrally formed in the vicinity of a curved portion of a straight portion, extending in the vertical direction, of the fluid supply pipe. The first flange is fixed to a motor supporting member. Thus, the fluid supply pipe is fixed to the spin motor through the motor supporting member. The fluid supply pipe has a configuration in which a gas supply pipe made of resin and a plurality of cleaning liquid supply pipes made of resin are accommodated inside a guide pipe made of stainless. Inside the guide pipe, the one gas supply pipe is surrounded by the plurality of cleaning liquid supply pipes.
