Abstract:
There is provided a developing apparatus and a developing method capable of rapidly forming a liquid film of a developing solution on an entire surface of a substrate while reducing a usage amount of the developing solution. The developing apparatus includes an airtightly sealed processing vessel that forms a processing atmosphere therein; a temperature control plate that is provided within the processing vessel and mounts the substrate thereon; an atmosphere gas supply unit that supplies an atmosphere gas including mist and vapor of a developing solution onto a surface of the substrate within the processing vessel; and a first temperature control unit that controls the temperature control plate to a temperature allowing the atmosphere gas to be condensed on the substrate. Here, an inner wall of the processing vessel is maintained at a temperature at which the atmosphere gas is hardly condensed on the inner wall.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A developing apparatus, a developing method, and memory media are provided to increase the reactivity of developing liquid and resist in a specific region of a substrate. CONSTITUTION: A developing apparatus includes a substrate loading and supporting part(11), a developing liquid supplying part, a radiation light irradiating part, and a washing liquid supplying part(71). Resist is applied on the surface of the substrate loading and supporting part. The substrate loading and supporting part horizontally loads and supports a substrate after exposure. The developing liquid supplying part supplies developing liquid to the surface of the substrate. The developing liquid supplying part develops the resist. The developing liquid on the specific region of the substrate is heated to improve the reactivity of the developing liquid to the resist by irradiating radiation light with a substrate material wavelength absorbing region. The washing liquid supplying part supplies washing liquid to the surface of the substrate to eliminate the developing liquid.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A coating and developing apparatus, a developing method and a non-transitory medium are provided to suppress the deterioration of throughout by processing a substrate in a developing module and a cleaning module. CONSTITUTION: In a coating and developing apparatus, a developing method and a non-transitory medium, a develop unit(20) comprises a developer module(2) a cleaning module(7) washing a wafer. The developer module supplies steam vapor of a developer to a housing(21). The wafer is returned to an exposure apparatus by an interface arm(9). A lathe unit(U1~U5) is comprised of a plurality of laminated modules in order to face with the develop unit. A transfer arm(A1) is installed in a DEV layer(B1) and sends the wafer to each heating module.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A substrate cleaning apparatus and method, and a storage media for substrate cleaning are provided to efficiently clean a substrate by transferring a supply place of washing solution and a discharge place of gas to a peripheral part of the substrate and promoting the drying of a dry region. CONSTITUTION: A carrier station(1) comprises a load unit(11) loading a carrier(10), an opening and closing unit(12), and a transmitting means(A1). The transmitting means takes out a wafer(W) from the carrier through the opening and closing unit. A processing unit(2) comprises a shelf units(U1, U2, U3) and liquid processing units(U4, U5). An interface unit(3) is composed of a first transfer room(3A) and a second transfer room(3B) installed between the processing unit and a light exposed unit(4). A temperature-humidity control unit(22) controls temperature and humidity of processing liquid.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A developing apparatus, a developing method thereof, and a storage medium are provided to form a liquid film over the surface of a substrate by setting the temperature of a heating plate to be below a temperature in which the vapor of a developing solution is condensed in a substrate. CONSTITUTION: In a developing apparatus, a developing method thereof, and a storage medium, a reaction container(5) forms a process condition. A heating plate(3) is installed in the reaction container and mounts a substrate(W). A gas supply unit(55) supplies gas including the mist and steam vapor of a developer to the surface of the substrate. A developer supply source(58) supplies the developer to the lower part of the gas supply unit. A gas heating unit(56) heats the gas to be a certain temperature.
