    摘要: An apparatus for processing a substrate may include a wet chamber, a dry chamber, a first transfer robot and a shared shutter. The wet chamber may be configured to process the substrate using a chemical. The dry chamber may be adjacent the wet chamber and configured to dry the substrate processed by the wet chamber. The first transfer robot may be configured to transfer the substrate between the wet chamber and the dry chamber. The shared shutter may be between the wet chamber and the dry chamber. A connection opening through which the substrate may be transferred may be formed between the wet chamber and the dry chamber. The shared shutter may be configured to open and close the connection opening.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing chamber providing a processing space for processing a substrate and processing a substrate, a substrate support configured to support the substrate, a blocking plate below the substrate support and configured to prevent supercritical fluid from being directly sprayed onto the substrate, a first supply device configured to supply supercritical fluid under a first condition to the processing chamber, a second supply device configured to supply supercritical fluid under a second condition at a higher temperature than that of supercritical fluid under the first condition to the processing chamber, a discharge device configured to discharge supercritical fluid from the processing chamber, and a control device configured to control operations of the first supply device, the second supply device, and the discharge device. The control device is configured to direct the first supply device to supply supercritical fluid prior to the second supply device.

    摘要: Provided are a wafer cleaning apparatus based on light irradiation capable of effectively cleaning residue on a wafer without damaging the wafer, and a wafer cleaning system including the cleaning apparatus. The wafer cleaning apparatus is configured to clean residue on the wafer by light irradiation and includes: a light irradiation unit configured to irradiate light onto the wafer during the light irradiation; a wafer processing unit configured accommodate the wafer and to control a position of the wafer such that the light is irradiated onto the wafer during the light irradiation; and a cooling unit configured to cool the wafer after the light irradiation has been completed. The light irradiation unit, the wafer processing unit, and the cooling unit are sequentially arranged in a vertical structure with the light irradiation unit above the wafer processing unit and the wafer processing unit above the cooling unit.
