    Abstract: Provided are a substrate treatment method and a substrate treatment equipment enabling greater suppression of corrosion or oxidation of metal wiring exposed on a substrate surface. The present invention relates to a substrate treatment equipment having a treatment chamber wherein a substrate is disposed, and whereto a substrate treatment solution for treating the substrate is supplied. This equipment is provided with an inert gas filling mechanism for filling with an inert gas the interior of the treatment chamber wherein the substrate is disposed, and, near or inside the treatment chamber, a catalytic unit filled with a platinum-group metal catalyst wherethrough a hydrogen-dissolved water including hydrogen added to ultra-pure water is passed. Obtained by passing the hydrogen-dissolved water through the platinum-group metal catalyst, a hydrogen-dissolved treatment solution is supplied as the substrate treatment solution into the treatment chamber by the equipment.

    Abstract: Time until a conductivity meter is ready to measure a conductivity after an electric decationizing apparatus starts is shortened.Water to be treated that contains cations and anions is supplied to the electric decationizing apparatus while applying a first voltage to the electric decationizing apparatus, and decationized water is generated. Next, the decationized water that is generated by the electric decationizing apparatus is supplied to the conductivity meter in order to measure conductivity of the decationized water. Before the first voltage is applied to the electric decationizing apparatus and before the conductivity meter begins measuring the conductivity of the decationized water, a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage is applied to the electric decationizing apparatus in a state in which the electric decationizing apparatus is charged with water to be treated.

    Abstract: The water outlet of a subsystem that includes an ultraviolet oxidation device and the water inlet of each substrate treatment device are connected to each other via a main pipe. A hydrogen peroxide removal device is installed between the ultraviolet oxidation device of the subsystem and a non-regenerative ion-exchange device. In addition, a carbon dioxide supply device is installed at the middle of a pipe that branches from the water outlet of the subsystem to reach the substrate treatment device. According to an aspect, the hydrogen peroxide removal device is filled with a platinum-group metal catalyst. Thus, ultrapure water passed through the ultraviolet oxidation device is used as a base to produce carbonated water in which the concentration of hydrogen peroxide dissolved therein is limited to 2 μg/L or less and to which carbon dioxide is added to adjust resistivity to be within the range of 0.03 to 5.0 MΩ·cm.

    Abstract: A diluted solution production method of the present invention is a diluted solution production method of producing a diluted solution of a second liquid by adding the second liquid a first liquid, the method including feeding the first liquid to a first pipe; and controlling pressure in a tank that stores the second liquid to add, through the second pipe that connects the tank to the first pipe, the second liquid to the first liquid in the first pipe. Adding the second liquid includes measuring a flow rate of the first liquid or the diluted solution that flows through the first pipe; measuring a component concentration of the diluted solution; and controlling the pressure in the tank, based on the measured values of the flow rate and the component concentration, so as to adjust the component concentration of the diluted solution to a specified value.

    Abstract: An ozonated water supply method includes: feeding dissolving water contained in a circulation tank to an ozonation device at a given feed rate while feeding ultrapure water to the circulation tank, and returning ozonated water that has not been used at a use point to the circulation tank, dissolving ozone in the dissolving water using the ozonation device to obtain ozonated water, and feeding the ozonated water to the use point; feeding oxygen gas having a nitrogen gas content of 0.01 vol % or less to a discharge-type ozone gas-producer, and feeding the resulting ozone-containing gas to the ozonation device; adjusting the feed rate of the ultrapure water to the circulation tank; and adjusting the dissolved ozone concentration in the ozonated water. The method can reduce or suppress the accumulation of nitric acid in the recirculation system when a discharge-type ozone gas-producer is used as the ozone gas-producer.
