摘要:
An apparatus for subjecting a plurality of wafers to coating and heating treatments, including a coating section for subjecting the wafers to a coating treatment one by one, a heating section for subjecting wafers which have undergone the coating treatment to a heating treatment all together, and an interface section arranged between the coating section and the heating section. The wafers are heat-treated in the heat treatment section while the wafers are stacked at intervals in a vertical direction in a boat. The wafers which have undergone the coating treatment are loaded into the boat by a conveying member in the interface section. The conveying member and the boat are surrounded by a surrounding space formed by a casing at the interface section. A circulation line is combined with an air supply and exhaust system, for circulating air in the surrounding space. A dehumidifier is arranged on the circulation line for dehumidifying air in the circulation line to provide localized dehumidification of the surrounding space formed by the casing.
摘要:
A method of subjecting a plurality of wafers to coating and beating treatments where a first boat is placed on a stage arranged in an interface section. The first boat is capable of containing the wafers stacked at intervals in a vertical direction. The stage is capable of moving in a horizontal direction, and has a plurality of positions for respectively placing a plurality of boats. The wafers are conveyed from a supply section to a coating section, and are subjected to a coating treatment one by one. The wafers, which have undergone the coating treatment, are conveyed to the interface section. The wafers, which have undergone the coating treatment, are loaded into the first boat placed on the stage, in the interface section. The first boat containing the wafers, which have undergone the coating treatment, is located at a transfer position by moving the stage. The first boat, located at a transfer position by moving the stage. The first boat, located at the transfer position, is conveyed from the stage into a heating section, and the wafers, which have undergone the coating treatment, are subjected to a heating treatment simultaneously and all together.

Particles attached to the back surface of a substrate are removed easily, reliably and quickly. An adhesive sheet is placed with an adhesive portion thereof up on a support base, and a substrate is placed thereon. Thereafter, the air pressure on the back surface side of the substrate is reduced lower than the air pressure on the front surface side to allow the adhesive sheet and the substrate to firmly adhere to each other. Then, the pressure difference is removed, and an elevating pin lifts the substrate from below the support base through a hole formed in each of the support base and the adhesive sheet to strip off the substrate from the adhesive sheet. Accordingly, the particles on the back surface of the substrate can be removed quickly, reliably and easily.

The present invention provides a substrate processing method including the coating step of coating a processing liquid on an object to be processed in a first processing unit of a processing chamber having first and second processing units, the step of conveying the object from the first processing unit to the second processing unit, the rinse step of rinsing an unnecessary processing liquid remaining on a peripheral portion of the object in the second processing unit to remove the unnecessary processing liquid, and the exposure step of conveying the rinsed object to an exposure apparatus to perform exposure processing for the object, wherein a time from the end of the rinse step for one object to be processed to the end of the rinse step for a next object to be processed is shorter than a time required for the exposure step for the one object.
摘要:
This invention provides a piston in which the moving piston unit can be prevented from rotating with respect the base piston unit, while suppressing the increase of the sliding resistance the piston has with respect to the cylinder. The circumferential wall of the moving piston unit has a pair of skirt parts opposing each other across a piston boss and a pair of side-wall parts coupling the skirt parts and each having an outer circumferential surface concaved toward the central axis X1 of the piston. The side-wall parts have a penetration part each, which penetrates the side-wall part and extends in the directions the moving piston unit reciprocates with respect to the base piston unit. The base piston unit has rotation preventing projections that project perpendicular to the central axis of the piston and are inserted into the penetration parts.
