Abstract:
A chemical liquid supply apparatus includes a nozzle unit including a nozzle arm and an injection nozzle mounted in an end of the nozzle arm, a chemical liquid supply unit including a first chemical liquid tank accommodating a first chemical liquid and a second chemical liquid tank accommodating a second chemical liquid, and supplying the first chemical liquid and the second chemical liquid to the nozzle unit, and a mixer unit provided in the nozzle unit and discharging a process fluid by mixing the first chemical liquid and the second chemical liquid, wherein the mixer unit includes an in-line mixer mixing the first chemical liquid and the second chemical liquid that are continually injected from the chemical liquid supply unit, and a mixer pipe extending from the in-line mixer to the injection nozzle.
Abstract:
A substrate drying apparatus includes; a drying chamber configured to load a substrate and including a lower chamber and an upper chamber above the lower chamber, a supply port configured to supply a supercritical fluid into the drying chamber and including a main supply port and a sub-supply port horizontally spaced apart from the main supply port, wherein the main supply port penetrates a center portion of the upper chamber, and a first buffer member coupled to the upper chamber, vertically separated from the sub-supply port, and vertically overlapping the sub-supply port, such that supercritical fluid vertically introduced into the drying chamber through the sub-supply port is impeded by the first buffer member to change a flow direction for the supercritical fluid.
Abstract:
A substrate rotating apparatus may include a spin chuck supporting a substrate and a stage rotating the spin chuck about an axis parallel to a first direction. The spin chuck may include a first magnetic element and a substrate supporting member thereon. The stage may include a stage housing, a rotating part rotating about the axis, an inner control unit controlling rotation of the rotating part, a power supplying part supplying a power to the rotating part, and a wireless communication part receiving a control signal from an outside and transmitting the control signal to the inner control unit. The rotating part may include a second magnetic element spaced apart from the first magnetic element and a rotation driver rotating the second magnetic element. The rotating part, the inner control unit, the power supplying part, and the wireless communication part may be placed in the stage housing.
Abstract:
A wafer drying apparatus is disclosed. The wafer drying apparatus may include a drying chamber housing providing a drying space, in which a wafer is disposed, a supercritical fluid supplying part configured to supply a supercritical fluid into the drying space, a wafer heating part configured to heat the wafer disposed in the drying space, and a wafer cooling part configured to cool the wafer disposed in the drying space. The wafer cooling part may include a cooling plate disposed below a place, on which the wafer is loaded, and a cooling conduit inserted in the cooling plate.
