摘要:
Disclosed are a substrate processing apparatus, a substrate processing method and a storage medium, capable of removing contaminant materials from a substrate by using SPM liquid (sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide mixture) while preventing degradation of the function of the SPM liquid for removing the contaminant materials. The SPM liquid is filled in a processing bath and the substrate is immersed in the SPM liquid. A heating unit is provided in the circulation path to heat the SPM liquid. A hydrogen peroxide supply line supplements hydrogen peroxide to the SPM liquid in the circulation path. A control unit adjusts the temperature of the SPM liquid to the predetermined temperature in the range of 135° C. to 170° C. based on a temperature detection value and outputs a control signal to supplement the sulfuric acid to compensate for the SPM liquid as the SPM liquid is evaporated by heating.

Cleaning liquid supply nozzles 32 are provided within a processing tank 30 for cleaning semiconductor wafers W. A distilled water source 31 and the cleaning liquid supply nozzles 32 are connected via a distilled water supply pipeline 33 and a chemical supply tank 36 and the cleaning liquid supply nozzles 32 are connected via a chemical supply pipeline 35. A flow-rate adjustment valve 37 is provided in the distilled water supply pipeline 33, and the supply of distilled water from the distilled water supply pipeline 33 to the processing tank 30 and the supply of a chemical from the chemical supply pipeline 35 to the processing tank 30 are switched by a switching valve 34. A temperature sensor 39 is disposed within the processing tank 30 for detecting the temperature of a processing liquid (the chemical or rinse liquid) therein and a CPU 40 controls the flow-rate adjustment valve 37 and the switching valve 34 on the basis of a temperature signal from the temperature sensor 39, so that the time required for the processing can be determined from the temperature of the cleaning liquid, thus improving the cleaning capability and cleaning precision.
摘要:
A cleaning method for cleaning, an object to be, processed. The object is cleaned by immersing the object into a cleaning liquid within a processing tank. The cleaning method includes the steps of: detecting the temperature of the cleaning liquid in which the object to be processed is immersed or to be immersed, and generating a corresponding temperature signal; determining an immersion time for the immersion of the object in the cleaning liquid, based on the temperature signal; and immersing the object to be processed in the cleaning liquid, for the immersion time.

The density of a treatment fluid in exhaust gas is reduced, the amount of the treatment fluid that flows into exhausting equipment connected to a substrate treatment apparatus is reduced, and a load on the exhausting equipment is reduced. A substrate treatment apparatus includes: a substrate treating unit that treats a substrate; a treatment fluid supply unit that supplies, to the substrate treating unit, a treatment fluid used to treat the substrate; and an exhaust gas treating unit into which an exhaust gas containing the treatment fluid discharged from the substrate treating unit is introduced. The exhaust gas treating unit includes spray nozzles that spray a solvent toward the exhaust gas, the solvent dissolving the treatment fluid, thereby reducing the density of the treatment fluid in the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas treating unit has porous dispersion plates that cause the exhaust gas to disperse.

There is provided a substrate processing method including cleaning a substrate by immersing the substrate in a cleaning solution in a longitudinal direction while the cleaning solution is supplied to a cleaning tank; transferring the substrate picked up from the cleaning tank to a drying chamber while holding the substrate in a longitudinal direction; and drying the substrate in the drying chamber communicating with an upper area of the cleaning tank by alternately supplying a first drying gas containing vapor of a solvent for removing a liquid and a second drying gas without containing the vapor of the solvent for removing the liquid to an area where the substrate is exposed between the upper area of the cleaning tank and the drying chamber after an upper end of the cleaned substrate is picked up from a liquid surface of the cleaning solution.
摘要:
The feature of the present invention is to enhance the throughput of manufacturing semiconductor wafers and/or liquid crystal substrates, by reducing the time required for performing a rinsing process. In this invention, the position of an object to be processed is controlled, such that a distance (L1) between the surface position (LV1) of a rinsing liquid upon the rinsing process and a top end position (LV2) of the object to be processed (wafers 2) becomes shorter than a distance (L2) between the surface position (LV3) of a chemical liquid upon a chemical liquid process and the top end position (LV4) of the object to be processed (wafers 2). Alternatively, the position of the object to be processed is controlled, such that the distance (L1) between the surface position (LV1) of the rinsing liquid upon the rinsing process and the top end position (LV2) of the object to be processed (wafers 2) becomes shorter than a distance (L3) between the bottom face position (LV5) of the rinsing liquid and a bottom end position (LV6) of the object to be processed (wafers 2).
