    摘要: Disclosed herein is a method and an apparatus for applying a coating liquid to an object from a liquid-applying member at a first prescribed position, thereby forming a film on the object. Before the coating liquid at the first position, the coating liquid is applied at a second predetermined position. An impurity-detecting device detects the impurities contained in the coating liquid applied at the second position. A particle-counting device is provided, and a switching device is provided on a liquid-supplying pipe extending from a source of the coating liquid to the liquid-applying member. The switching device switches the supply of the coating liquid between the liquid-applying member and the impurity-detecting device. The impurities in the coating liquid can thereby monitored.

    摘要: A solvent of a resist solution is dropped from a solvent supply nozzle onto the surface of a semiconductor wafer held by a spin chuck. The semiconductor wafer is rotated by the spin chuck to spread the resist solution over the entire surface of the semiconductor wafer W. Simultaneously, the resist solution is dropped from a resist solution supply nozzle onto the semiconductor wafer and spread following the solvent. During the processing, the processing space is isolated from the outer atmosphere by closing a lid of a processing vessel and a sprayed solvent is supplied into the processing space. The processing space is thus filled with the mist of solvent. In the processing space supplied with the solvent, evaporation of the solvent from the resist solution is suppressed. A film of the resist solution is formed with a uniform film thickness to the edge of the semiconductor wafer W.

    摘要: The baking apparatus of the present invention comprises a casing surrounding a substrate W having a pattern-exposed resist film, a hot plate for heating the substrate in the casing, gas supply mechanisms for supplying a H.sub.2 O component containing humidity gas into the casing. The H.sub.2 O component included in the humidity gas is allowed to react with the resist film by introducing the humidity gas into the casing while the substrate is being heated by the hot plate, thereby rendering either an irradiate portion or a non-irradiate portion of the resist film, soluble in alkali.

The first processing units are designed to process a wafer, and the second processing unit to process the wafer. The first transport unit has a first arm mechanism for loading and unloading the wafer into and from each of the first processing units. The second transport unit opposes the first transport unit, with the first processing units located between the first transport unit and the second transport unit. The second transport unit has a second arm mechanism for loading and unloading the wafer into and from at least one of the first processing units and into and from the second processing unit. The interface section is to be provided adjacent to an exposure apparatus. The first arm mechanism transfers the wafer between the first transport unit and the exposure apparatus.
