Abstract: The present invention provides an etching apparatus suitable for etching polysilicon on a substrate or bulk silicon constituting the substrate. The present invention relates to an etching apparatus including a gas-flow adjusting means that allows etching gas to flow from a periphery of a substrate to substantially a center of the substrate, and relates to a technology capable of etching polysilicon or bulk silicon at a uniform thickness on an entire substrate surface. In addition, the gas-flow adjusting means is installed in a vertically movable manner, and an etching speed can be controlled by an adjustment of the gas-flow adjusting means.

Abstract: Provided is a nozzle for substrate analysis with a simple structure, which enables analysis to be reliably performed without leaking an analysis liquid when a substrate having high hydrophilicity is scanned with the analysis liquid. The nozzle for analysis of a substrate according to the present invention includes: a double pipe including a nozzle main body that discharges and suctions an analysis liquid, and an outer pipe disposed on the outer periphery of the nozzle main body so as to surround the scanning analysis liquid; exhaust means having an exhaust path between the nozzle main body and the outer pipe; and a gas spraying pipe for spraying an inert gas to the tip of the nozzle main body in a direction substantially parallel to a substrate surface, the gas spraying pipe being disposed on the outer periphery of the tip of the outer pipe and on a side opposite to a scanning direction of the nozzle.

Abstract: A substrate analysis method using a nozzle for substrate analysis which discharges an analysis liquid from a tip thereof, scans a substrate surface with a discharged analysis liquid, and sucks the analysis liquid. This is done by arranging a liquid catch plate that catches the discharged analysis liquid, thus retaining analysis liquid discharged between the nozzle tip and the liquid catch plate; positioning the substrate so that the end part thereof can be inserted between the nozzle tip and the liquid catch plate; bringing the end part of the substrate into contact with analysis liquid retained between the nozzle tip and liquid catch plate; and moving the nozzle and liquid catch plate concurrently along a periphery of the substrate, while keeping the end part of the substrate in contact with the analysis liquid, to analyze the end part of the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention provides a substrate analysis nozzle that reliably prevents a leakage (release) of analysis solution from the nozzle even in the case of a highly hydrophilic substrate and that collects the analysis solution with a high collection ratio after scanning. The present invention is directed to a substrate analysis nozzle configured to discharge an analysis solution from a tip of the substrate analysis nozzle onto a substrate, configured to scan a surface of the substrate using the discharged analysis solution, and configured to suck the analysis solution. The substrate analysis nozzle has a triple-tube structure made up of: a pipe through which the analysis solution is discharged and sucked; a first outer tube surrounding the pipe and surrounding the analysis solution used for scanning; and a second outer tube surrounding the first outer tube. The substrate analysis nozzle includes: first exhausting means including an exhaust path defined between the pipe and the first outer tube; and second exhausting means including an exhaust path defined between the first outer tube and the second outer tube.
