    摘要: A spin chuck on which a wafer is mounted is divided into a plurality of regions concentrically in a radial direction, and different temperatures are set for each of the regions so that the temperature gradually increases from the outer periphery to the center. The wafer is placed on this spin chuck, and a processing solution is applied to the wafer and spread over the wafer by centrifugal force, whereby the vaporization of a solvent of the processing solution which is spread on the outer periphery of the wafer is suppressed, and hence the timing of drying of the processing solution within the surface of the wafer can be made uniform. Consequently, a coating film with a uniform thickness within the wafer surface can be obtained.

    摘要: A controller controls the temperature of a hot plate and the degree of vacuum in a tightly closed space to a temperature and a pressure at levels at which a thinner contained in a resist applied to a wafer volatilizes and an acid generator, a quencher, and a polymer chain protecting group practically remain in the resist, for example, during heat processing. More specifically, the controller controls the temperature of the hot plate and the degree of vacuum in the tightly closed space to bring the temperature of the hot plate to about 40null C., and the degree of vacuum in the tightly closed space to approximately 5 Torr. Thereby, the heat processing can be performed for the wafer so that the acid generator is uniformly dispersed in the resist, or the quencher is uniformly formed on the front face of the resist without breakage of the polymer chain protecting group.

    摘要: A developing unit, a coating unit and a plurality of cooling plates are arranged in a process station which performs a resist coating and so on and a wafer is transferred among them by a substrate transfer device. The temperature of an area to where the wafer is transferred is detected by a temperature/humidity detector and the temperature of the wafer which is cooled by the cooling plates is adjusted accordingly based on a detected value so that the temperature of the wafer when transferred to the coating unit becomes a coating temperature of a processing solution. Thereby, the wafer is transferred to the coating unit while maintaining its temperature with high accuracy to be coated with a resist solution, so that a formation of an uneven processing due to the temperature change can be prevented and a uniform processing can be performed.
