Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a system for supplying chemicals to a plurality of nozzles to fabricate integrated circuits. The system includes a supply line, a return line, and a selecting part for supplying a constant amount of chemicals to the return line or one of nozzles. According to the invention, a constant amount of chemicals are supplied from a chemical storage irrespective of the number of nozzles requiring a supply of chemicals. This enables a pump to avoid overworking and suppresses the conventional problem that a determined time is required for enabling chemicals to reach a fixed temperature.
Abstract:
In a spin unit for rotating a substrate and a method of processing the substrate, the substrate is secured on a support and is rotated on the support. Processing materials including drying gases, etching solutions and cleaning solutions are selectively supplied onto a bottom surface of the rotating substrate. The same processing materials are also selectively supplied onto a top surface of the substrate. The top and bottom surfaces of the substrate are simultaneously processed by simultaneous supply of the processing materials through the first and second sub-injectors.

Abstract:
A method for drying a semiconductor substrate includes the steps of clearing the substrate by supplying a liquid into a processing bath of a chamber, injecting first dry gases onto a surface of the supplied liquid, draining the liquid from the processing bath so that the substrate is slowly exposed to the surface of the liquid, and injecting a second dry gas into the chamber and forcibly exhausting gas in the chamber.
Abstract:
An apparatus for drying a semiconductor substrate includes a chamber having a processing bath and a cover, a liquid flow system for supplying a liquid flow into the processing bath so as to clean the substrate and for draining a liquid from the processing bath, a gas distributor for spraying a gas for drying the substrate, and decompression means for exhausting air in the chamber.
