The present invention provides a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method suitable for use in an etching apparatus which etches a thin film formed on a peripheral portion of a substrate. The present invention also provides a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method suitable for use in a cleaning apparatus which performs a cleaning process on a substrate which has been etched. The substrate processing apparatus for use in etching includes a substrate holder 11 for holding a substrate W substantially horizontally and rotating the substrate W, and a processing liquid supply unit 15 for supplying a processing liquid onto a peripheral portion of the substrate W which is being rotated in such a manner that the processing liquid is stationary with respect to the substrate W. The substrate processing apparatus for use in cleaning a substrate includes a substrate holder 54 for holding a substrate W substantially horizontally and rotating the substrate W, and a cleaning liquid supply unit 53 having a cleaning liquid outlet 53a which is oriented from a center of the substrate W toward a peripheral portion of the substrate W with an elevation angle of not more than 45° from a surface of the substrate W. The cleaning liquid supply unit 53 supplies a cleaning liquid to the surface of the substrate W at a flow velocity of not less than 0.1 m/s.

摘要:
A semiconductor substrate cleaning apparatus and method are capable of efficiently removing contamination from both the obverse and reverse sides of a semiconductor substrate. A single cleaning liquid supply nozzle for supplying a cleaning liquid to both the obverse and reverse sides of a semiconductor substrate to be cleaned is placed at a distance from the outer peripheral edge of the substrate. An ultrasonic vibrator applies ultrasonic waves to both the obverse and reverse sides of the substrate. Four driving rollers are disposed in contact with the outer peripheral edge of the substrate. The driving rollers are adapte to rotate while being engaged with the outer peripheral edge of the substrate thereby drivingly rotating the substrate.
摘要:
A cleaning apparatus comprises a holder for holding a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer horizontally and rotating the substrate about its central axis, while conducting a cleaning operation of the substrate by supplying a cleaning liquid thereto. The apparatus further comprises a cleaning vessel including a side wall encircling the substrate rotated by the holder to intercept the cleaning liquid supplied to and scattered from the rotating substrate and then finally drain the cleaning liquid. There is provided a vent duct for carrying gas from the inside of the cleaning vessel to the outside of the same. The vent duct includes an inlet provided at substantially the same level as that of the substrate for introducing the gas into the vent duct. The side wall may include an inner surface along which the cleaning liquid scattered from the substrate flows downward in a spiral manner, with the inner surface, being of a construction which impedes the spiral movement of the liquid in a circumferential or peripheral direction.
