    摘要: A method capable of eliminating occurrence of a development failure when a DI water discharge nozzle 20 is scanned to dry a substrate by spinning is provided. A substrate W is held in a horizontal posture by a spin chuck 10 and rotated about a vertical axis by a rotation motor 14, and when an outlet of the nozzle 20 is scanned from a position opposed to a center of the substrate W to a position opposed to a circumferential edge while a cleaning solution being discharged, immediately after the nozzle 20 has started to move, only one dried core is produced in the vicinity of the center of the substrate W, and thus production of not less than two dried cores in the vicinity of the center of the substrate W is prevented. The dried region is spread all over the surface of the substrate W.

    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.

    摘要: In an exposure unit compatible with immersion exposure, a dummy substrate to be used for an alignment process for adjustment of an exposure position for a pattern image is transferred to a substrate processing apparatus for performing a resist coating process before exposure and a development process after exposure. In the substrate processing apparatus, the received dummy substrate is reversed and transferred to a back surface cleaning unit, to be subjected to a back surface cleaning process. After that, the dummy substrate is reversed again and transferred to a front surface cleaning unit, to be subjected to a front surface cleaning process. The dummy substrate after being cleaned is transferred back from the substrate processing apparatus to the exposure unit. Since the alignment process can be performed by using a clean dummy substrate in the exposure unit, it is possible to reduce contamination of mechanisms in the exposure unit, such as a substrate stage and the like.

    摘要: Immediately before or immediately after an alignment process for adjusting an exposure position of a pattern image in an exposure unit compatible with immersion exposure, a dummy substrate for use in the alignment process is transported from the exposure unit to a substrate processing apparatus. In the substrate processing apparatus, a cleaning processing unit cleans and dries the received dummy substrate. The cleaned dummy substrate is transported from the substrate processing apparatus back to the exposure unit. The use of the clean dummy substrate for the execution of the alignment process in the exposure unit reduces contamination of mechanisms within the exposure unit, such as a substrate stage. When the dummy substrate is water-repellent, the cleaning in the substrate processing apparatus restores the water repellency of the dummy substrate.
