Abstract: A cup includes a flow passage forming member forming a first exhaust passage, a scattered substance collection passage configured to collect a scattered substance from a substrate, and a second exhaust passage in sequence as going upwards; a joint exhaust passage connected to each of the first exhaust passage, the scattered substance collection passage, and the second exhaust passage; a first annular member included in the flow passage forming member, the scattered substance collection passage and the first exhaust passage being formed above and below the first annular member, respectively; and a communication hole provided in the flow passage forming member to allow the scattered substance collection passage and the joint exhaust passage to communicate with each other such that a pressure loss of the communication hole is large as compared to a pressure loss in a gap formed between the first annular member and the substrate.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a cover member placed to surround a substrate held by a rotary holder; a collecting member placed in an exhaust path formed between the cover member and the rotary holder; and a solvent supply placed above the collecting member and configured to supply a solvent to the collecting member. The solvent supply includes an inner storage space surrounding the substrate; an outer storage space surrounding the inner storage space; and a partition wall extending along a circumferential direction to partition the inner storage space and the outer storage space. Multiple communication holes are extended to penetrate the partition wall such that the solvent introduced into the outer storage space flows to the inner storage space. Multiple dripping holes are extended to penetrate a bottom wall of the inner storage space such that the solvent within the inner storage space drops toward the collecting member.

Abstract: A solution treatment apparatus applies a coating solution onto a substrate. The apparatus includes a holder holding and rotating the substrate; a coating solution supplier supplying the coating solution to the substrate on the holder; and an inner cup surrounding the holder from a lateral side and having a peripheral edge side upper surface inclining down outward in a radial direction from an apex part located below a peripheral edge side of the substrate on the holder. The inner cup has discharge ports formed along a circumferential direction at the apex part; and the discharge ports are formed to discharge a cleaning solution and make the cleaning solution flow down along the peripheral edge side upper surface of the inner cup, thereby cleaning the peripheral edge side upper surface, and to discharge the cleaning solution outward in the radial direction and obliquely upward.
