摘要:
A temperature control method for a heat process on a resist film on a substrate includes first and second steps. The first step includes measuring a stepped response waveform of measured temperatures of a substrate at measurement points while changing stepwise each target temperature, then using this result to compose a pulsed response waveform with respect to a change of a pulsed target temperature, then using this result to compose a triangular response waveform with respect to a change of a triangular target temperature, and then using this result to acquire a matrix as relation information showing a relation between the target temperatures and temperatures of the substrate at measurement points. The second step includes acquiring temperature distribution information by use of measured temperatures of the substrate placed on the hot plate, measured at measurement points before adjustment of the target temperatures, and then calculating adjustment information by use of the relation information acquired in the first step and the temperature distribution information, thereby determining adjustment information.

摘要:
A temperature control method is used for controlling a temperature of a hot plate, so that a measured temperature of the hot plate conforms to a target temperature thereof, in a heat processing apparatus for performing a heat process on a substrate placed on the hot plate, which is used in a coating/developing system for applying a resist coating onto the substrate to form a resist film and then performing development on the resist film after light exposure. The method includes acquiring adjustment data necessary for adjusting a reaching time defined by a time period for increasing the temperature of the substrate from a first temperature around an initial temperature to a second temperature around the target temperature; and adjusting the target temperature by use of the adjustment data thus acquired, after starting the process on the substrate.
摘要:
The temperature of a hot plate is not more than a predetermined threshold when a wafer is accurately mounted at a substrate mounting position on the hot plate, whereas the temperature of the hot plate is the predetermined threshold when the wafer is not accurately mounted at the substrate mounting position on the hot plate. Therefore, when the temperature of the hot plate is not less than the predetermined threshold when the wafer is mounted on the hot plate, it is judged that the wafer is stranded on a guide, and an alarm is given by means of a speaker or a display section.
