Abstract:
A substrate processing method is a method of processing a substrate on which a metal-containing liquid for a film below a resist is applied, wherein prior to a heating process of performing a heat treatment on the substrate applied with the metal-containing liquid, the substrate processing method includes: a deprotection promoting process of promoting deprotection of functional groups in a material for the film included in the substrate on which the metal-containing liquid has been applied; a solvent removing process of removing a solvent included in the metal-containing liquid on the substrate; and a moisture absorbing process of bringing a surface of the substrate into contact with moisture.
Abstract:
A thermal treatment apparatus that performs a thermal treatment on a metal-containing film formed on a substrate, includes: a treatment chamber that houses the substrate; a thermal treatment plate that is provided inside the treatment chamber and mounts the substrate thereon; and a moisture supply unit that supplies moisture to the metal-containing film, wherein at the time of the thermal treatment, moisture is supplied to the metal-containing film of the substrate on the thermal treatment plate and an atmosphere in the treatment chamber is exhausted from a central portion of the treatment chamber.
Abstract:
A substrate processing method is performed to improve surface roughness of a pattern mask formed on a substrate by being exposed and developed. The method includes supplying a first solvent in a gaseous state to a surface of the substrate to dissolve the pattern mask, and supplying a second solvent to the surface of the substrate, which is supplied with the first solvent, to dissolve the pattern mask, wherein a permeability of the second solvent is lower than a permeability of the first solvent.
