    Abstract: In this developing method and apparatus, a concentration measuring unit 222 picks part of developing fluid in a blending tank 186 to measure the resist concentration by an absorption photometry and feeds the detected resist concentration to a control unit 240. The control unit 240 controls respective valves 210, 212, 216 of a TMAH concentrate solution 200, a solvent pipe 204 and a drain pipe 208 in a manner that the developing fluid in the blending tank 186 has a TMAH concentration corresponding to a measured resist-concentration value to accomplish a constant developing rate, performing component control of the developing fluid. The developing fluid transferred from the blending tank 186 to a supply tank 188 is fed to a developer nozzle DN in a developing section 126 through a developer pipe 224 owing to the drive of a pump 228. Accordingly, even if the developing fluid is reused in the developing process in multiple times, it is possible to make sure of the uniformity in development.

    Abstract: A cleaning apparatus for cleaning a semiconductor wafer comprises a spin chuck having a turn table. A gas supplying passage is formed in a shaft for supporting the turn table to supply a protecting gas to the rear surface of the wafer. A conical movable member, arranged to cover an end off the shaft, is movable upward and downward in accordance with the flow off the protecting gas supplied thereto. Inner ends of three reciprocating arms, supported by the turn table and extending in radial directions, abut against an outer surface of the movable member and biased by springs. Fixed pins are arranged on the turn table at positions which divide the circumference of the turn table into three equal parts, along the edge of the wafer. Three swingable levers are arranged such that one is provided between two adjacent fixed pins. One end of each swingable lever is connected to the outer end of each reciprocating arm and the other end of the lever has a pin brought into contact with the edge of the wafer. When the protecting gas is supplied, the movable member is moved upward to a working position, and the reciprocating arms are pressed by the movable member and moved outward. As a result, the swingable levers are moved so as to bring their pins into contact with the edge of the wafer, thereby clamping the wafer among the pins.

    Abstract: A drive pulley is disposed to a driving motor. A plurality of follower pulleys are disposed to a rotating shaft of a spin chuck that vacuum sucks a substrate. A belt is passed from one follower pulley to the drive pulley. Belts are passed from the other follower pulleys to the drive shafts of a plurality of air motors. Since the air motors assist the driving of the driving motor, a large substrate can be rotated at a predetermined rotating acceleration. Thus, a film forming apparatus and a film forming method that allow the quantity of process solution supplied to be reduced and a film of process solution to be equally formed on a substrate can be provided.
