Abstract:
본 발명은 사전의 사고방지를 도모하여, 장치의 순간 정지나 처리물질의 누설에 대하여 안전을 도모할 수 있는 기판 처리장치 및 기판 처리방법을 제공한다. 처리용기(2)내에 수납된 웨이퍼(W)에 오존가스(5)를 공급하는 한편, 처리용기(2)의 내부 분위기를 배기하여 오존 킬러(10)에 통하면서 웨이퍼(W)를 처리하는 방법에 있어서, 처리용기(2)내가 밀폐되고, 또한 오존 킬러(10)가 정상인 것을 조건으로, 오존가스(5)를 공급한다. 처리가 중단된 경우, 처리용기(2)의 내부 분위기를 강제적으로 배기하고, 가스누설이 일어난 경우, 처리용기(2)의 내부·주위 분위기를 강제적으로 배기하는 동시에, 오존가스(5)의 공급을 정지한다.
Abstract:
Substrate processing equipment (1) is provided with a treatment tank (3) for treating a substrate with a treatment liquid, a dry process part (6) arranged at an upper part of the treatment tank (3), and a transfer mechanism (8) for transferring the substrate (W) between the treatment tank (3) and the dry process part (6). A process gas supplying line (21) for supplying a process gas and inert gas supplying lines (24, 25) for supplying the dry process part (6) with an inert gas are connected to the dry process part (6). A first exhaust line (26) for exhausting an atmosphere pushed out from the dry process part (6) and a second exhaust line (27) for forcibly exhausting the dry process part (6) are connected to the dry process part (6).

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A film forming method and film forming system is provided to simplify the process of forming two-layer structure of insulation film and hard mask layer without using a CVD device. CONSTITUTION: A film forming method comprises the steps of forming a first coating film by providing a first coating liquid onto a substrate; and a second step of forming a second coating film by providing a second coating liquid onto the first coating film, wherein at least one of first and second coating films is an inorganic film. A film forming system comprises a cassette station for delivering/supplying wafers in cassette units from/to the film forming system; a first treatment station having a plurality of treatment units for performing predetermined treatments during an insulation film forming process; an interface unit arranged to be adjacent to the first treatment station, and which conveys wafers; and a second treatment station having a heat treatment furnace performing a heat treatment in a batch manner.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: Disclosed is a treating device and a treating method capable of preventing the generation of cross-contamination even if plural kinds of treating liquid are supplied to the same device. CONSTITUTION: The cleaning device(1) for applying cleaning processes to the wafer W in the order of SPM cleaning, rinse cleaning, SCI cleaning, rinse cleaning and drying treatment is provided with an outside cleaning chamber(2), an inside cleaning chamber(4) and an elevator structure(6) for taking in and out the inside cleaning chamber(4) into and from the outside cleaning chamber(2). The elevator structure(6) is switched to a state that the wafer W is housed in the inside cleaning chamber(4) when the SPM cleaning and the subsequent rinse cleaning are executed and is switched to a state that the wafer W is housed in the outside cleaning chamber(2) when the subsequent SCI cleaning and the final drying treatment are executed.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A developing device is provided to be capable of uniformizing line width and less liable to cause defects at the application of developing solution. CONSTITUTION: A solution having a photosensitive group is applied to the entire surface of a resist film(51) on a substrate(W) to form a photosensitive film(53). A developing solution is applied to the entire surface of the photosensitive film(53) to form a developing paddle(54). The entire surface of the photosensitive layer(53) on the resist film(51) is exposed. The resist film formed on the substrate and exposed in a prescribed pattern is thus developed.
