    Abstract: This invention includes a substrate holder provided rotatably about an axis of rotation extending in a vertical direction while sucking and holding a central part of a lower surface of a substrate, a rotating mechanism for outputting a rotational driving force for rotating the substrate holder, a processing mechanism for processing the substrate by supplying a processing liquid to the substrate held by the substrate holder, and a rotating cup provided rotatably about the axis of rotation while surrounding an outer periphery of the rotating substrate and configured to collect liquid droplets of the processing liquid scattered from the substrate. The rotating mechanism includes a power transmitter for transmitting a part of the rotational driving force as a cup driving force to the rotating cup, and simultaneously rotates the substrate holder and the rotating cup by the rotational driving force.

    Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus for supplying a processing liquid onto a lower surface of a substrate being rotated, to thereby process the substrate, provided are an upper support body which is separably placed on a lower support body, a plurality of upper holding members protruding downward from the upper support body, for holding the substrate, and an upper hold-driving part for moving the upper holding members separably from and contactably with an outer edge portion of the substrate. Preferably, the upper hold-driving part moves the upper holding members by using a magnetic action between holding-side magnetic members and an annular driving-side magnetic member.

    Abstract: In a substrate processing apparatus for supplying a processing liquid onto a substrate being rotated, to thereby process the substrate, an upper support body which is a placement member is separably placed on a lower support body for supporting the substrate. The upper support body is moved up and down by an up-and-down moving part. The upper support body includes a first contact part outside an outer periphery of the substrate in a radial direction. When a second contact part of the up-and-down moving part goes up, the second contact part comes into contact with the first contact part, to thereby move the upper support body up. When the second contact part goes down, the upper support body is placed on the lower support body and the second contact part is separated from the first contact part, and in this state, the lower support body is rotatable.

    Abstract: A substrate rotation mechanism rotates the substrate holder about a central axis. A top plate opposes the upper surface of the substrate and rotates about the central axis. A gas supply part supplies a treatment atmospheric gas to a radial central part of a lower space that is a space below the top plate. An ion generator generates and supplies ions to the treatment atmospheric gas supplied from the gas supply part. Then, in a state in which the top plate is positioned lower than when the substrate is transported into the apparatus, the treatment atmospheric gas that contains the ions is supplied to the lower space to form an ion stream that spreads radially outward from the radial central part of the lower space while rotating the substrate holder and the top plate. Accordingly, charges can be dissipated from the top plate with a simple structure.

    Abstract: A substrate holding apparatus is used for a substrate processing apparatus for supplying the processing liquid to a substrate. The substrate holding apparatus includes a holding member, a ring member, and a rotation mechanism. The holding member holds the substrate in a horizontal attitude. The ring member is in a shape of a ring surrounding a peripheral edge of the substrate held by the holding member, and has an upper surface level with or positioned below a front surface of the substrate. The rotation mechanism rotates the holding member and the ring member about a rotation axis at rotation speeds different from each other and/or in rotational directions different from each other, the rotation axis being a vertical axis passing through the substrate held by the holding member.
