Abstract: According to the present invention, a substrate processing apparatus has a chamber (1), a stage (4) for holding a substrate (W) to be processed in the chamber (1), and a nozzle part (13) from which a gas cluster is blasted onto the substrate (W) to be processed, and has a function for processing the substrate (W) to be processed by the gas cluster. Cleaning of the inside of the chamber (1) is performed by: placing a prescribed reflecting member (dW, 60) in the chamber (1), blasting a gas cluster (C) onto the reflecting member (dW, 60), and applying the gas-cluster flow reflected by the reflecting member (dW, 60) onto a wall section of the chamber (1) to remove particles (P) adhered to the wall section of the chamber (1).

Abstract: A substrate cleaning method includes injecting a cluster generating gas from a cluster nozzle into a processing chamber, generating gas clusters by adiabatically expanding the cluster generating gas, and removing particles adhered to a target substrate in the processing chamber by irradiating the gas clusters onto the target substrate. The cluster generating gas is selected based on a product Φ of energy K per molecule or atom of the cluster generating gas that is expressed by the following equation (1) and an index C indicating the ease with which the gas forms clusters that is expressed by the following equation (2), K=1/2mv2=γ/γ−1kBT0 . . . (1) C=(Tb/T0)γ/γ−1 . . . (2) where kB: a Boltzmann constant, γ: a specific heat ratio of the cluster generating gas, m: a mass of the cluster generating gas, v: a speed of the cluster generating gas, T0: a gas supply temperature, Tb: a boiling point of the cluster generating gas.

Abstract: A substrate cleaning apparatus that cleans a processing target substrate by blasting the gas clusters to the processing target substrate. The apparatus includes: a chamber configured to accommodate the processing target substrate; a rotary stage configured to rotatably support the processing target substrate in the chamber; an blasting unit configured to blast the gas clusters to the processing target substrate supported by the rotary stage; a driving unit configured to scan a gas cluster-blasted position on the processing target substrate; an exhaust port configured to evacuate the chamber; and a control mechanism configured to control a scattering direction of particles by controlling a rotation direction of the processing target substrate by the rotary stage and a scanning direction of the gas cluster-blasted position, thereby suppressing re-adhesion of the particles to the processing target substrate.

Abstract: The present disclosure appropriately shortens a processing step for processing a substrate in which a silicon layer and a silicon germanium layer are alternatively laminated. The present disclosure provides a substrate processing method of processing the substrate in which the silicon layer and the silicon germanium layer are alternatively laminated, which includes forming an oxide film by selectively modifying a surface layer of an exposed surface of the silicon germanium layer by using a processing gas including fluorine and oxygen and converted into plasma.

Abstract: In a titanium oxide film removal method and apparatus, a silicon substrate having the titanium oxide film is supported on a spin chuck. A first mixed aqueous solution including hydrofluoric acid and non-oxidizing acid or a second mixed aqueous solution including hydrofluoric acid and organic acid is supplied to the silicon substrate while rotating the silicon substrate together with the spin chuk. The first or the second aqueous solution comes into contact with the titanium oxide film existing on the silicon substrate to remove the titanium oxide film by a reaction between the first or the second mixed aqueous solution and the titanium oxide film.
