Abstract:
There is provided a developing apparatus capable of achieving high throughput. The developing apparatus includes an airtightly sealed processing vessel that forms a processing atmosphere therein; an atmosphere gas supply unit that supplies an atmosphere gas containing mist of a developing solution into the processing vessel in order to form a liquid film of the developing solution on a surface of a substrate loaded into the processing vessel; and a drying unit that dries the substrate in order to stop a developing process by the liquid film. A reaction between a resist and the developing solution can be stopped. Therefore, a developing process can be performed in parallel with a cleaning process performed by a cleaning module and high throughput is achieved.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A developing apparatus, a developing method and a storage medium are provided to stop the reaction of a resist and developer and transfer a substrate to a cleaning apparatus by including a drying unit for stopping the development of a liquid film on the surface of the substrate. CONSTITUTION: In a developing apparatus, a developing method and a storage medium, a partitioning plate(13) is installed in a housing and divides the housing up and down. A reaction container(5) form a process condition pressure. A gas supply part(55) supplies gas including mist of a developer within the reaction container. A drying unit dries a substrate to stop the development of a liquid film. The drying unit includes a mounting unit for a substrate and a heating unit for a mounting plate.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A substrate processing apparatus, a substrate processing method, a coating and developing apparatus, a coating and developing method, and a storage media are provided to prevent the generation development defects by uniformly supplying a developing solution on a substrate. CONSTITUTION: A substrate(W) is undergone through an exposure process. A heating plate(31) heats the exposed substrate. A surface processing solution atomization unit(60) atomizes a surface processing solution in order to improve the wettability of the substrate. A cooling unit(15) cools the heat substrate. The surface processing solution supplying unit supplies the atomized surface processing solution to the substrate.
