    Abstract: A light irradiation apparatus includes: a rotary holding unit that rotates a substrate around a rotary axis while holding the substrate; a lighting unit positioned to face the rotary holding unit; a light shielding mask positioned between the rotary holding unit and the lighting unit, and widened along a direction orthogonal to the rotary axis; and a driving unit that linearly moves the lighting unit along the direction orthogonal to the rotary axis. The light shielding mask overlaps with the substrate when viewed in the direction of the rotary axis. The light shielding mask has an opening portion. An opening width of the opening portion at a side away from the rotary axis is larger than the opening with near the rotary axis. The lighting unit irradiates light through the opening portion toward the surface of the substrate while being moved above the opening portion by the driving unit.

    Abstract: A processing-liquid supply apparatus includes a source, a discharge device, a supply channel connecting the source and discharge device, a filter device positioned in the channel to form first side having the source and second side having the discharge device, a pump device positioned in the channel, and a control device which controls suction and discharge by the pump device. The control device controls the pump device such that the liquid is discharged from the discharge device, that remaining of the liquid on the second side is suctioned to be returned to the first side and that the remaining of the liquid returned to the first side flows from the first toward second side together with refill of the liquid from the source, and the control device is set such that return amount of the liquid to the filter device is equal to or greater than amount of the discharge.

    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein provide an apparatus and method of spin coating that inhibits the formation of wind marks and other defects from turbulent fluid-flow, thereby enabling higher rotational velocities and decreased drying times, while maintaining film uniformity. Techniques disclosed herein include a fluid-flow member, such as a ring or cover, positioned or suspended above the surface of a wafer or other substrate. The fluid-flow member has a radial curvature that prevents wind marks during rotation of a wafer during a coating and spin drying process.
