    摘要: The present invention is a coating unit for applying a coating solution to a substrate which includes: a discharge nozzle for reciprocating in a predetermined direction above the substrate and discharging the coating solution to the substrate; a holder for holding the substrate and horizontally movable in one direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction; and a cover for covering an upper face of the substrate when the substrate is moved in the one direction to be more forward than the discharge nozzle as viewed from a plane, wherein a lower face of the cover is inclined such as to be higher on the discharge nozzle side. According to the present invention, the cover covering the upper face of the substrate restrains a solvent from evaporating from the coating solution applied on the substrate to secure flatness of a coating film.

    摘要: The present invention includes a current plate which is arranged above a substrate in a chamber. A pressure inside the chamber is reduced by exhaust means and drying processing is performed on, for example, a coating solution on the substrate. On a peripheral portion of an underneath surface of the current plate, formed is a ring-shaped protrusion corresponding to a peripheral portion of the substrate. A protruding portion of a coating solution at the peripheral portion of the substrate is made flat by air current generated when the pressure is reduced, and consequently a coating film with a uniform film thickness as a whole is formed on the substrate.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a processing method for processing a substrate, and comprises a step of coating a coating solution on a surface of the substrate while relatively moving a coating solution discharge nozzle and the substrate and discharging the coating solution from the nozzle onto the substrate. Thereafter, the substrate is exposed to a solvent atmosphere of the coating solution or the pressure is temporarily applied thereto in a container. Thereafter, the pressure inside the container in which the substrate is housed is reduced to dry the coating solution on the substrate. According to the present invention, it is possible to narrow the so-called edge cutting width, which is at a periphery part of the substrate and is not commercialized, and to maintain an in-plane uniformity of the coating film.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a processing unit for processing a substrate, which comprises a chamber for housing the substrate and forming a hermetically closeable processing room, and an exhauster for exhausting an atmosphere in the processing room from an upper portion of the chamber to reduce a pressure in the processing room. The processing unit of the present invention includes a current plate for controlling an atmospheric current formed in the processing room when the pressure is reduced, and the chamber has a mounting table for mounting the substrate thereon, an almost cylindrical lid body with its lower face open for covering the substrate on the mounting plate from above and forming the processing room integrally with the mounting table, and a supporting member for supporting the current plate so that the current plate is parallel to the mounting plate. According to the present invention, the speed of an atmospheric current flowing between the current plate and the substrate becomes uniform within the surface of the substrate, and consequently when a coating film on the substrate is dried, the film is planarized to have a uniform thickness.

    摘要: In drying a coating liquid such as a resist applied to a substrate under reduced pressure, a coating film in a peripheral portion tends to lose good shape regardless of duration of a drying period, and it is difficult to set an appropriate exhaust flow rate. After the substrate is loaded in an airtight container, a pressure is reduced from atmospheric pressure to a pressure slightly higher than the vapor pressure of a solvent, for example. Then, the solvent actively evaporates from the coating liquid. Here, evacuation is performed initially based on a first flow rate set value Q1, and thereafter, it is performed based on a second flow rate set value larger than Q1. Rounding of the surface in the peripheral portion is corrected by evacuation based on Q1, and more active evaporation of a solvent component is attained by switching to Q2.

    摘要: A method of forming a film of a coating solution on a substrate includes steps of moving a coating solution discharge member relative to a substrate while a coating solution is being discharged from the coating solution discharge member to the surface of the substrate, and changing a discharge direction of the coating solution to an outer peripheral portion of the substrate to make the amount of application to the outer peripheral portion smaller than that to other portions. This can reduce the amount of application to the outer peripheral portion of the substrate, thereby making it possible to restrain protuberance of the coating solution at the outer peripheral portion of the substrate caused by surface tension. Consequently, a coating film which is uniform also at the outer peripheral portion on the substrate is formed.
