A substrate processing system includes a processing unit, a substrate loading unit, a substrate unloading unit, and a carrying unit. A carrying device has a constitution in which a suction portion suctioning and holding a substrate is rotatable about an arm portion provided in a base portion and the substrate is rotated in the state where the substrate is held by a holding portion. A coating device has a constitution in which a liquid material is ejected from a nozzle to both surfaces of the substrate rotating in an upright state.

The object of the present invention is to provide a cooling apparatus which makes it possible to cool a substrate uniformly in a short period of time even if the substrate has a large area. The cooling apparatus 3 comprises a flat-box-shaped body 10, a cooling medium supply tube 11 which is inserted into the body 10, a nozzle 12 which is attached to the cooling medium supply tube 11 so as to eject the cooling medium toward the internal surface of the body, a pipe 13 for withdrawing water (refrigerant) ejected from the nozzle 12 toward the body 10, a chiller 14 for cooling the water from the pipe 13 to a predetermined temperature, and a circulating pipe 15 for sending the water which has been cooled by the chiller 14 back to the cooling medium supply tube 11.
Abstract:
Among plural liquid leakage sensors placed at the lower most portion of a system such as a floor surface, a leaked liquid storing portion, etc., an error-activated location of the sensor can be easily identified uniquely when the sensor is detecting any abnormality. In a liquid leakage detecting system including at least one liquid leakage sensor having at least one detecting portion contactable with a leaking liquid through an air layer or a liquid permeable layer, a warning device including a sound producing is placed within a specified spatial distance from each installation position of the liquid leakage sensor, wherein after detecting any abnormal conditions of the liquid leakage sensor, a warning signal is issued at least in an audio frequency based on the warning device in order to discriminate the error-activated leakage sensor from other non-activated leakage sensors placed outside of the specified spatial distance and uniquely identify the installation position of the activated leakage sensor.

Abstract:
In a method of removing a coating from an edge of a substrate a solvent reservoir is filled with a solvent to dissolve and remove a photoresist film, the solvent includes one of dipropylene glycol monoalkyl ether, a mixture of this ether and an easily volatile organic solvent (boiling point of 75-130.degree. C., vapor pressure of 5-75 mmHg at 20.degree. C.), and an alkaline aqueous solution, an edge of a substrate W is horizontally inserted in the reservoir, and thereafter, the edge of the substrate W is immersed in the solvent for a period of time, so as to dissolve and remove a coating such as photoresist from the edge of the substrate. The solvent may be filled into the solvent reservoir either before or after the edge of the substrate is inserted therein, and the method may further involve aspirating the solvent from the reservoir after the substrate edge has been inserted therein.
