摘要： A multi-stage type processing apparatus which can be positioned in a limited space without having a complicated driving mechanism, includes processing units which are stacked in a multi-stage state in the vertical direction. Each processing unit has a cup surrounding a substrate and a chuck for retaining and rotating a substrate, and the cup can be elevated and lowered with respect to the chuck. A cylinder unit is contracted and thereby all the cups are unitarily lowered, so that the top surface of the chuck is located in a slightly upper position with respect to the top surface of the cup. In this state, a substrate is mounted on the chuck and attracted. Next, the cylinder unit is extended and thereby all the cups are unitarily elevated so as to accommodate the substrate therein. In this state, developing liquid is dropped from a nozzle for developing liquid onto the center of the substrate, and a motor is driven to rotate the chuck (the substrate) via a drive shaft and a timing belt to allow the developing liquid to cover the entire surface of the substrate.

摘要： A film-forming method is provided in which generation of an edge bead can be prevented even in a case where the thickness of a coating solution is large. A substrate to be treated W is heated while being mounted on pins which are provided in the upper surface of a partition plate. A resist solution applied onto the substrate to be treated W is formed into a film by heating. After heating, a slight projection is formed at a position measured 4 mm from the outer peripheral end of the film towards the inside in a radial direction. However, since the projection does not substantially affect the uniformity, it is enough to remove the outer peripheral portion measured 2 mm from the outer peripheral end toward the inside in a radial direction by using a rinse liquid.

摘要： The present invention provides a method for the formation of a pattern, which comprises applying an antireflective coating film-forming composition solution comprising (A) a compound which undergoes crosslinking reaction when irradiated with actinic rays and (B) a dye to a substrate to form a coating film thereon, entirely irradiating the coating film with actinic rays to form an antireflective coating film, applying a resist solution to the antireflective coating film, drying the coated material to form a resist layer, and then subjecting the coated material to lithographic treatment to form a resist pattern on the antireflective coating film. The method enables the formation of a resist pattern having an excellent dimensional accuracy and section shape without causing the formation of an intermixed layer between the resist composition and antireflective coating film.
