摘要: A solvent of a resist solution is dropped from a solvent supply nozzle onto the surface of a semiconductor wafer held by a spin chuck. The semiconductor wafer is rotated by the spin chuck to spread the resist solution over the entire surface of the semiconductor wafer W. Simultaneously, the resist solution is dropped from a resist solution supply nozzle onto the semiconductor wafer and spread following the solvent. During the processing, the processing space is isolated from the outer atmosphere by closing a lid of a processing vessel and a sprayed solvent is supplied into the processing space. The processing space is thus filled with the mist of solvent. In the processing space supplied with the solvent, evaporation of the solvent from the resist solution is suppressed. A film of the resist solution is formed with a uniform film thickness to the edge of the semiconductor wafer W.

摘要: A coating apparatus includes two spin chucks located in a single casing to support and rotate wafers. A waiting trench is located between the spin chucks to discharge that part of coating liquid which has been hardened at the tip of a nozzle. The wafers are loaded and unloaded to and from the spin chucks by a single carrying member located outside the casing. A coating liquid supply mechanism includes the single nozzle for dispensing coating liquid onto the wafers supported by the spin chucks. The nozzle is moved between the spin chucks by a moving arm. Processing cycles relative to the spin chucks are set for a same processing time and the processing cycle relative to one of the spin chucks is shifted from that relative to the other by a half cycle. The nozzle is rested on the waiting trench at the time when it does not dispense the coating liquid onto the wafers supported by the spin chucks.

摘要: The invention relates to a process including a chemical liquid treatment and a rinse liquid treatment on a substrate, more particularly to a technique for reducing consumption of a chemical liquid while achieving uniform process and preventing particle generation. In a specific embodiment, the process is performed for removing a silicon oxide film formed on a silicon wafer. The process includes three subsequently performed steps, in which (1) diluted hydrofluoric acid (DHF), (2) DHF and de-ionized water (DIW), (3) DIW are supplied, respectively, onto a rotating wafer. Transition from step (1) to step (2) is done immediately before the hydrophilic silicon oxide film is dissolved to expose the underlying hydrophobic silicon layer.
