Abstract:
This semiconductor device manufacturing method is provided with: a film-forming step wherein a silicon nitride layer or a silicon oxide layer is formed such that a side wall portion of a silicon-containing layer, which is formed on a substrate and patterned, is covered with the silicon nitride layer or the silicon oxide layer; and a plasma etching step wherein the silicon-containing layer is selectively removed, and the silicon nitride layer or the silicon oxide layer formed on the side wall portion is left. In the plasma etching step, an etching gas containing SF6 gas is used.
Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a process liquid supply apparatus operating method is provided. The method includes filling a filter unit with a process liquid from an upstream side of the filter unit to a downstream side of the filter unit after newly mounting or replacing the filter unit and repeating a depressurization filtering process and a pressurization filtering process for a predetermined number of times. The depressurization filtering process depressurizes the process liquid in the downstream side of the filter unit and thereby allows the process liquid to permeate through the filter unit. The pressurization filtering process pressurizes the process liquid from the upstream side of the filter unit and thereby allows the process liquid to permeate through the filter unit.

Abstract:
A substrate processing apparatus includes a discharge part including a nozzle configured to discharge a processing liquid onto a substrate; a liquid feeder configured to feed the processing liquid to the discharge part; a replenishment part configured to replenish the liquid feeder with the processing liquid to be fed to the discharge part; a connector including a switching valve configured to open/close a flow path between the replenishment part and the liquid feeder; a filter configured to remove foreign matters contained in the processing liquid; a replenishment preparation part configured to open the switching valve after reducing a pressure difference between the inside of the replenishment part and the liquid feeder; and a replenishment controller configured to start replenishment of the processing liquid from the replenishment part to the liquid feeder in a state in which the switching valve is opened by the replenishment preparation part.
