    摘要: An apparatus includes a holding portion for holding a substrate, a nozzle, provided to face the substrate held by the holding portion, for discharging a solution to the substrate, a driver for moving the nozzle along a surface of the substrate relatively with respect to the substrate while the solution is being discharged to the surface of the substrate from the nozzle, a mask unit covering a portion other than a film formation area of the substrate and including a mask member for catching the solution from the nozzle, and a cleaner provided in the mask unit. The coating solution can be supplied to the surface of the substrate in a way similar to a picture drawn with a single stroke of a brush. A cleaning unit for cleaning the mask member does not need to be provided separately, leading to the facilitation of cleaning and a reduction in space.

    摘要: The present invention is a film forming unit for forming a film on a substrate by supplying a coating solution on the substrate from a discharge nozzle, including moving means for moving the discharge nozzle, wherein the moving means comprises a supporting member for supporting the discharge nozzle, a moving member for moving the supporting member, a guide shaft passing through bearing portion which is formed in the supporting member, and an air supply mechanism for supplying air to a space between the bearing portion and the guide shaft. The discharge nozzle discharges the coating solution while moving along the guide shaft. On the substrate the coating solution is applied along the locus of the discharge nozzle movement. Since air is supplied to the space between the bearing portion and the guide shaft, the supporting member can be made to be in the state of floating relative the guide shaft. As a result, even if the discharge nozzle moves at high speed, the discharge of the coating solution is prevented from being disturbed so that the predetermined coating of the coating solution is performed precisely.

    摘要: The present invention is a film forming unit for discharging a coating solution from a coating solution discharge nozzle toward a substrate to form a layer on a surface of the substrate, which has a supply flow path for supplying a cleaning fluid to a discharge flow path continuing to a discharging port of the coating solution discharge nozzle. When the cleaning fluid is positively supplied directly to the discharge flow path of the coating solution discharge nozzle, the supply pressure of the cleaning fluid as well as the capability of cleaning is added. Therefore, further effective cleaning is attained in compare with the conventional case where a coating solution discharge nozzle is simply dipped into a cleaning fluid. In consequence, even when the discharging port of the nozzle is minute, it is possible to perfectly remove the contamination. This allows the discharge pressure to remain constant so as to form a uniform coating layer on the substrate.

    摘要: A coating area of wafer W is divided into, for example, three regions. The wafer W and/or a supply nozzle are driven in a predetermined coating direction and/or a coating direction such that coating start positions of the adjacent divided regions are not next to each other and/or the coating is not continuously performed in order of a coating end position and a coating start position when the coating end position of one region of the adjacent divided regions and the coating start position of the other region are adjacent to each other, whereby forming a liquid film of a resist liquid for each divided region of the surface of wafer W. As a result, a phenomenon, in which the resist liquid is drawn to the coating start position, so as to increase the film thickness of this portion, occurs in only the corresponding region. Resultantly, uniformity of an inner surface of the film thickness can be improved.
