Water vapor is mixed to O3 gas generated by an ozone generator of discharge type. The mixed fluid is cooled by a cooler, thereby impurities such as metals and nitrogen oxides contained in the O3 gas dissolve into condensed water. Subsequently, a gas-liquid separator separates the O3 gas from the condensed water. Water vapor is mixed with the O3 gas again. The mixed fluid passes through a metal trap composed of a container containing plural silicon chips as a metal adsorbent, thereby to remove the remaining metals therefrom.

In a substrate cleaning method and a substrate cleaning method according to the present invention, a brush 3 is brought into contact with a substrate W while rotating the same, and a cleaning position Sb of the brush 3 is moved relative to the substrate W from a center part of the substrate W toward a peripheral part thereof. A process fluid formed of liquid droplets and a gas is sprayed by a two-fluid nozzle 5 onto the substrate W, and a cleaning position Sn of the two-fluid nozzle 5 is moved relative to the substrate W from a center part of the substrate W toward a peripheral part thereof. During the movement of the cleaning position Sb of the brush 3 from the center part of the substrate W toward the peripheral part thereof, the cleaning position Sb of the two-fluid nozzle is positioned nearer to a center P0 than the cleaning position Sb of the brush 3. Since contaminations of the brush are prevented from adhering again to the wafer, it can be avoided that the wafer W is contaminated.

According to one embodiment, a supercritical drying method for a semiconductor substrate, comprises introducing the semiconductor substrate into a chamber in a state, a surface of the semiconductor substrate being wet with alcohol, substituting the alcohol on the semiconductor substrate with a supercritical fluid of carbon dioxide by impregnating the semiconductor substrate to the supercritical fluid in the chamber, and discharging the supercritical fluid and the alcohol from the chamber and reducing a pressure inside the chamber. The method further comprises performing a baking treatment by supplying an oxygen gas or an ozone gas to the chamber after the reduction of the pressure inside the chamber.

The present invention relates to a method of removing a polymer veil and a metal contamination deposited on a substrate having a metal layer. First, the polymer veils are removed by a chemical liquid in an inert gas atmosphere. Subsequently, the metal contamination are removed by oxidizing the metal contamination into metal oxide contamination by mixing oxygen in a small concentration in the inert gas atmosphere, and dissolving the metal oxide contamination by the chemical liquid.

摘要:
There are provided a liquid processing method and a liquid processing apparatus capable of providing a high etching rate and a high etching selectivity for silicon nitride against silicon oxide, and a storage medium storing the method thereon. In the method for etching, by an etching solution, a substrate on which silicon nitride and silicon oxide are exposed, the etching solution is produced by mixing a fluorine ion source material, water and a boiling point adjusting agent; the produced etching solution is heated to a substrate processing temperature equal to or higher than 140° C.; after a temperature of the etching solution reaches the substrate processing temperature, the temperature of the etching solution is maintained at the substrate processing temperature for a first preset time; and after a lapse of the first preset time, the substrate is etched by the etching solution maintained at the substrate processing temperature.

According to one embodiment, a supercritical drying method comprises cleaning a semiconductor substrate with a chemical solution, rinsing the semiconductor substrate with pure water after the cleaning, changing a liquid covering a surface of the semiconductor substrate from the pure water to alcohol by supplying the alcohol to the surface after the rinsing, guiding the semiconductor substrate having the surface wetted with the alcohol into a chamber, discharging oxygen from the chamber by supplying an inert gas into the chamber, putting the alcohol into a supercritical state by increasing temperature in the chamber to a critical temperature of the alcohol or higher after the discharge of the oxygen, and discharging the alcohol from the chamber by lowering pressure in the chamber and changing the alcohol from the supercritical state to a gaseous state. The chamber contains SUS. An inner wall face of the chamber is subjected to electrolytic polishing.

A substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention is provided with a spin chuck (3) that holds a substrate (W) and rotates the same. A process liquid supply system (11, . . . ) is disposed to supply a process liquid to the substrate rotated by the spin chuck. There are disposed a fluid nozzle (12) that supplies to the substrate a drying fluid having a higher volatility than that of the process liquid, and an inert gas nozzle (13) that supplies an inert gas to the substrate. A nozzle moving mechanism (15, 52, . . . ) is disposed that moves the nozzles (12, 13) radially outward relative to a rotational center (Po) of the substrate, while maintaining the inert gas nozzle nearer to the rotational center of the substrate than the fluid nozzle.
