    摘要: A coating and developing apparatus has an interface section equipped with a temperature adjuster (a cooling unit). A temperature-raised substrate due to exposure on periphery of the substrate outside a circuit-forming area thereon is adjusted to a predetermined temperature by the temperature adjuster and then transferred to an exposing apparatus. The temperature adjustments before exposure provide almost the same temperature over many substrates to be transferred to the exposing apparatus for less thermal effects to exposing processing, thus achieving high yields. The interface section is further provided with first and second transfer mechanisms, the first serving to transfer substrates between the processor and the exposing apparatus and the second serving to transfer substrates to each unit of a shelf section, for high transfer performance, thus achieving high throughput.

    摘要: A substrate dual-side processing apparatus has a processor to apply a specific process to a front surface and a rear surface of a substrate, a reversing unit to reverse the substrate and a substrate-transfer mechanism to transfer the substrate between the processor and the reversing unit. The reversing unit has a holder for holding the substrate when the substrate is being transferred to and from the substrate-transfer mechanism and a rotating mechanism for rotating the substrate, thus the substrate being reversed while held by the holders. The reversing unit may have a pair of holders for holding the substrate at the front and rear surfaces, a drive mechanism for driving the pair of holders so that the holders become close to or apart from each other and a rotating mechanism for rotating the substrate, thus the substrate being reversed while held by the holders.

    摘要: 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.
