摘要:
There is provided a substrate processing method with the use of plural kinds of liquids, capable of, after a process to a substrate by using a process liquid, rapidly and more reliably substituting the process liquid remaining on the substrate with a liquid to be subsequently used. The substrate processing method comprises: processing a substrate W by a process liquid; and supplying a substitute liquid onto the substrate and substituting the process liquid remaining on the substrate with the substitute liquid. The substitute liquid used in the substituting step has a surface tension that is smaller than a surface tension of the water, and a density that is equal to a density of the process liquid.

In a template treatment of forming a film of a release agent on a treatment surface of a template, the treatment surface of the template is first cleaned. Thereafter, in a coating unit, the release agent is applied to the treatment surface of the template. The release agent on the template is then dried. Then, alcohol is applied to the release agent on the template to make the release agent adhere to the treatment surface of the template and to remove an unreacted portion of the release agent. Thereafter, the alcohol on the template is dried and removed. In this manner, a film of the release agent is formed in a predetermined film thickness on the treatment surface of the template.

The present invention provides a substrate processing apparatus for processing substrates by immersing the substrates in a processing liquid. This substrate processing apparatus includes a processing tank having a pair of side walls arranged to be opposed to each other; and a pair of processing-liquid supply mechanisms provided respectively corresponding to the pair of side walls. The pair of processing-liquid supply mechanisms are respectively configured for supplying the processing liquid toward a central portion of the processing tank in the width direction connecting the pair of side walls, thereby to create a rising flow of the processing liquid in a central area in the width direction of the processing tank. Each inner wall face of the pair of side walls includes a main body, a projecting portion located above the main body, and a discharge guide portion located uppermost and providing a discharge port configured for allowing the processing liquid to overflow. The discharge guide portion is inclined upward, opposite to the central portion in the width direction. The projecting portion includes an inner end portion located nearer to the central portion in the width direction, as compared with the main body and discharge guide portion.
摘要:
A substrate cleaning method can uniformly removing particles from substrates at a high removing efficiency. The substrate cleaning method includes the steps of immersing substrates W in a cleaning liquid in a cleaning tank 12, and generating ultrasonic waves in the cleaning liquid contained in the cleaning tank. A region in the cleaning tank toward which the cleaning liquid is supplied is varied with respect to a vertical level in the step of generating ultrasonic waves in the cleaning liquid while the cleaning liquid is being supplied into the cleaning tank.
