    摘要: A developer nozzle is moved from a periphery of a wafer toward the central portion while an exposed substrate held at a spin chuck is being rotated about a vertical axis and while a developing solution is being discharged from the developer nozzle, and this way the developing solution is supplied to the surface of the wafer, the developer nozzle having a slit-like ejection port whose longitudinal direction is oriented to the direction perpendicular to the radial direction of the wafer. The movement speed of the nozzle is higher than a case where a nozzle with a small-diameter circular nozzle is used, and this enables a development time to be reduced. Further, the thickness of a developing solution on a substrate can be reduced, so that the developing solution can be saved.

    摘要: A method of supplying a developing solution is provided. The method includes supplying a developing solution onto a substrate from a first developing solution nozzle, so as to form a ribbon-like region on the surface of the substrate, while rotating the substrate about a vertical axis via a substrate holding part. The method further includes shifting a position of the ribbon-like region in which the developing solution is supplied. Developing solution is supplied from a second developing solution nozzle, so as to form a circular region on the central portion of the substrate or form a ribbon-like region shorter in length than the ribbon-like region of the developing solution supplied from the first developing nozzle. Simultaneously, the substrate is rotated about the vertical axis via the substrate holding part, thereby spreading the developing solution toward a peripheral portion of the substrate by centrifugal force.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of supplying a developing solution, stably, onto a substrate, upon providing a developing process to the substrate which has been coated with a resist and subjected to an exposure process. In this method, the developing solution is supplied onto the substrate from a first developing solution nozzle, so as to form a ribbon-like region on the surface of the substrate, while rotating the substrate about a vertical axis via a substrate holding part, wherein one end of the ribbon-like region is oriented toward a central portion of the substrate. At this time, by shifting a position of the ribbon-like region in which the developing solution is supplied, a liquid film of the developing solution can be formed on the surface of the substrate. Subsequently, in order to prevent the liquid film of the developing solution from being dried up, the developing solution is supplied from a second developing solution nozzle, so as to form a circular region on the central portion of the substrate or form a ribbon-like region shorter in length than the ribbon-like region of the developing solution supplied from the first developing nozzle. Simultaneously, the substrate is rotated about the vertical axis via the substrate holding part, thereby spreading the developing solution toward a peripheral portion of the substrate by centrifugal force. In this manner, the developing nozzles are selected, corresponding to the process to be performed.

    摘要: The temperature of a developing solution is varied depending on the type of resist or the resist pattern. The developing solution is applied while scanning a developer nozzle having a slit-shaped ejection port that has a length matching the width of the effective area of the substrate. After leaving the substrate with the developing solution being coated thereon for a predetermined period of time, a diluent is supplied while scanning a diluent nozzle, thereby substantially stopping the development reaction and causing the dissolved resist components to diffuse. A desired amount of resist can be quickly dissolved through the control of the developing solution temperature, while the development can be stopped before the dissolved resist components exhibit adverse effect through the supply of the diluent a predetermined timing, whereby achieving a pattern having a uniform line width and improved throughput.

    摘要: A solution-receiving plate having solution-passing holes for passing a developer solution therethrough toward the back side of the plate is provided. Respective surfaces of the solution-receiving plate and a substrate are at the same height, and the solution-receiving plate is placed on the front-end side of the substrate and separated slightly from the front end of the substrate. A supply nozzle is moved to apply a developer solution. Accordingly, when the developer solution extended continuously between the perimeter of the substrate and the supply nozzle is severed, the severed developer solution is prevented from returning to the developer solution already spread over the substrate and thus flow and waves are prevented from occurring in the developer solution spread on the surface of the substrate. A resist pattern with a highly uniform line width is thus produced.
