摘要:
A substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method is provided for performing a chemical liquid process, a cleaning process, a drying process, or the like while rotating a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer or a liquid crystal substrate. A substrate holding apparatus is provided for holding and rotating a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus for processing a substrate while supplying a fluid to the substrate includes a substrate holder for holding and rotating the substrate, and a holder suction unit for sucking the fluid from the substrate holder. The substrate holding apparatus includes a plurality of rollers which are brought into contact with an edge portion of a substrate so as to hold and rotate the substrate, and at least one moving mechanism for moving the rollers.

The present invention provides a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method suitable for use in an etching apparatus which etches a thin film formed on a peripheral portion of a substrate. The present invention also provides a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method suitable for use in a cleaning apparatus which performs a cleaning process on a substrate which has been etched. The substrate processing apparatus for use in etching includes a substrate holder 11 for holding a substrate W substantially horizontally and rotating the substrate W, and a processing liquid supply unit 15 for supplying a processing liquid onto a peripheral portion of the substrate W which is being rotated in such a manner that the processing liquid is stationary with respect to the substrate W. The substrate processing apparatus for use in cleaning a substrate includes a substrate holder 54 for holding a substrate W substantially horizontally and rotating the substrate W, and a cleaning liquid supply unit 53 having a cleaning liquid outlet 53a which is oriented from a center of the substrate W toward a peripheral portion of the substrate W with an elevation angle of not more than 45° from a surface of the substrate W. The cleaning liquid supply unit 53 supplies a cleaning liquid to the surface of the substrate W at a flow velocity of not less than 0.1 m/s.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus which can reduce a potential difference between metals or alloys used to form interconnects on a substrate for thereby minimizing corrosion which may occur during and after a substrate cleaning process. The cleaning apparatus for cleaning a substrate having metal interconnects comprises a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the substrate, and a functional water supply mechanism for supplying functional water to the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism cleans a surface of the substrate with use of the functional water.
