Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus includes: an immersion processor for collectively immersing a set of one or more substrates in a processing liquid and process the set; a standby bath for immersing the set in a rinsing liquid; a first transferer for transferring the set from the immersion processor to the standby bath; a first deliverer for accommodating the set after the immersion in the standby bath; a second transferer for transferring the set from the standby bath to the first deliverer; a single-wafer processor for processing the substrates one by one; a second deliverer for accommodating the substrates processed by the single-wafer processor; a third transferer for transferring the substrates one by one between the first and second deliverers and the single-wafer processor; and a controller for controlling the above-described components to execute a series of substrate processes.
Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus of processing a substrate by using a processing fluid in a supercritical state, the substrate processing apparatus includes: a processing container in which the substrate is accommodated; a supply line connecting the processing container to a fluid source configured to send out the processing fluid in the supercritical state; a discharge line configured to discharge the processing fluid from the processing container; a control valve interposed in the discharge line; and a controller configured to control a pressure in the processing container by adjusting an opening degree of the control valve. In a circulation process in which the processing fluid is supplied to the processing container from the supply line, the controller is configured to adjust the opening degree of the control valve such that each of a pressure-lowering step and a pressure-raising step.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to be able to obtain a high removing performance of particles. The substrate processing method according to the exemplary embodiment comprises a film-forming treatment solution supply step and a removing solution supply step. The film-forming treatment solution supply step comprising supplying to a substrate, a film-forming treatment solution containing an organic solvent and a fluorine-containing polymer that is soluble in the organic solvent is supplied. The removing solution supply step comprises supplying to a treatment film formed by solidification or curing of the film-forming treatment solution on the substrate, a removing solution capable of removing the treatment film.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to obtain a high removing performance of particles. The substrate processing system according to the exemplary embodiment comprises a holding unit and a removing solution supply unit. The holding unit holds a substrate that has a treatment film formed thereon, wherein the treatment film comprises an organic solvent and a fluorine-containing polymer that is soluble in the organic solvent. The removing solution supply unit supplies to the treatment film formed on the substrate, a removing solution capable of removing the treatment film.
