Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a substrate processing apparatus including: a substrate processing chamber configured to process a substrate on which a target layer to be removed is formed on the surface of an underlying layer; a substrate holding unit provided in the substrate processing chamber and configured to hold the substrate; a mixed liquid supplying unit configured to supply a mixed liquid of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide to the substrate held by the substrate holding unit in a mixing ratio of the hydrogen peroxide and a temperature that does not damage the underlying layer while removing the target layer; and an OH-group supplying unit configured to supply a fluid containing OH-group to the substrate in an amount that does not damage the underlying layer when the mixed liquid and the OH-group are mixed on the substrate.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a substrate liquid processing apparatus. The substrate liquid processing apparatus includes a processing unit, a nozzle, a silylation liquid supply mechanism, and a blocking fluid supply mechanism. The processing unit performs a water repellency imparting processing on a substrate by supplying a silylation liquid to the substrate. The nozzle includes an ejection port configured to supply the silylation liquid to the substrate positioned in the processing unit, and a silylation liquid flow path in which the silylation liquid flows toward the ejection port. The silylation liquid supply mechanism supplies the silylation liquid to the silylation liquid flow path in the nozzle through a silylation liquid supply line. The blocking fluid supply mechanism supplies a blocking fluid that blocks the silylation liquid within the silylation liquid flow path in the nozzle from an atmosphere outside the ejection port.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a liquid processing method of drying a substrate held horizontally after supplying deionized water to the substrate. The liquid processing method includes: supplying the deionized water to a front surface of the substrate; supplying a first solvent to the front surface of the substrate after supplying the deionized water; supplying a water-repellent agent to the front surface of the substrate to impart water-repellency to the front surface of the substrate; supplying a second solvent to the front surface of the substrate to which water-repellency is imparted; and removing the second solvent from the front surface of the substrate. A specific gravity of the first solvent is smaller than a specific gravity of the water-repellent agent, and a specific gravity of the second solvent is larger than the specific gravity of the water-repellent agent.

Abstract:
This liquid treatment method for substrates involves performing: a liquid treatment step for liquid-treating a substrate with a treatment liquid; a rinse treatment step for rinsing the liquid-treated substrate with a rinsing liquid; a water-repellency treatment step for subjecting the rinsed substrate to a water-repellency treatment using a water-repellency-imparting solution; next, a substitution treatment step for subjecting the substrate subjected to the water-repellency treatment to a substitution treatment acceleration liquid; a cleaning treatment step for cleaning the substrate subjected to the water-repellency treatment by using a cleaning solution; and thereafter, a drying treatment step for substituting the cleaning solution with a drying solution having a higher volatility than that of the cleaning solution, and removing the drying solution from the substrate. Thus, it is possible to prevent pattern collapse during the drying treatment, and to decrease particles caused by watermarks.
