Abstract:
PURPOSE: A wafer processing method, a recording medium for executing the same, a wafer processing apparatus, and a wafer processing system are provided to regularly maintain a width size of an area from which a coating layer is eliminated in a peripheral portion of a wafer without need to install a position determination sensor for each module. CONSTITUTION: A rinse fluid supply part(80) supplies a rinse liquid on a surface of a peripheral portion of a wafer(W) held and supported by a spin chuck(61). A coating film on a location where the rinse liquid is provided is selectively removed. A detection part is installed in a wafer transfer part. A detection part detects the location of the peripheral portion of the wafer when the wafer is transferred by the wafer transfer part in advance. The detection part determines the location of the rinse fluid supply part based on the detected location.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A coating and developing apparatus, a coating and developing method, and a storage medium are provided to reduce the installation area of an apparatus by being formed to convert a negative developing process and a positive developing process. CONSTITUTION: A substrate carried with a carrier(C) is delivered to a processing block(S20). A coating film including a resist film is formed in the processing block. The substrate is carried to an exposure apparatus through an interface block(S7). The substrate coming back through the interface block after exposure is developed in the processing block. The substrate is delivered to a carrier block(S1).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A coating and developing apparatus, a method thereof, and a memory medium are provided to apply a unit block for a dual developing process, thereby suppressing the degradation of operation efficiency of the coating and developing apparatus. CONSTITUTION: A carrier block(S1) comprises a loading stand(11) which loads a carrier(C), an opening and closing part(12), and a transfer arm. The transfer arm comprises five wafer holding support parts in up and down directions. A processing block(S2) comprises unit blocks(B1-B6) which perform liquid processing process in a wafer. The unit block comprises a heating module, a main arm, and a return region. A liquid processing unit comprises an antireflection film formation module(BCT1, 2) and a resist film formation module(COT1,2).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A substrate processing system, a substrate transferring method, and a computer storage medium are provided to reduce a load by cleaning the rear of a substrate before an exposure process. CONSTITUTION: A cleaning unit(100) cleans the rear of a wafer. An inspecting unit(101) inspects whether to expose the wafer before the wafer is inputted. A wafer transferring device(120,130) includes an arm to transfer a substrate. The wafer transferring device is installed in a housing.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A coating and developing device, a coating and developing method, and storage medium are provided to control the degradation of operation efficiency by installing a plurality of transfer paths. CONSTITUTION: A substrate carried by a carrier is transferred to a processing block. The processing block(S3) forms a coating film including a resist film. A liquid processing module supplies liquid chemical to the substrate. A heating module heats the substrate in which the liquid chemical is coated. A straight transfer line connects a carrier block to an interface block. A transfer tool for a unit block moves on the straight transfer line in order to transfer the substrate between the liquid processing module and the heating module. An elevation transfer block(S2) is formed between the carrier block and the processing block. [Reference numerals] (AA) Ordinary transfer
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A coating/developing apparatus, a method thereof, and a storage medium are provided to process a substrate in the other side unit block when one side unit block is not available, thereby preventing degradation of a processing amount. CONSTITUTION: A carrier block(S1), a processing block, and an interface block(S5) are connected into a straight line shape. An exposure apparatus(S6) for performing a dipping exposure process is connected to the interface block. A loading table(11) loads a carrier(C). A transfer arm(13) extracts a wafer from the carrier through an opening/closing part(12). The transfer arm comprises five wafer maintenance support parts(14) in up and down directions.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A coating-developing apparatus, a coating-developing method thereof, and a storage medium are provided to prevent degradation of a processing quantity by performing a process with the other side module when one side module is not available by a unit block of a liquid processing system. CONSTITUTION: A processing block(S20) is comprised of a front side heating system block(S2), a liquid processing block(S3), and a rear side heating block(S4). The front side heating system block is arranged toward a washing block(S5) side from a carrier block side. The liquid processing block comprises first to fifth liquid processing unit blocks(B1-B5) for performing a liquid process on a wafer. Each liquid processing unit block is partitioned by a partition wall. The rear side heating block comprises first to third heating processing unit blocks(C1,C2,C3). The wafer is returned to an interface block after exposure treatment.
