Abstract: A substrate processing device is provided with: a spin base disposed below a substrate grasped by a plurality of chuck members, the spin base transmitting the drive force of a spin motor to the chuck members; and a nozzle for supplying a processing fluid for processing the substrate to the top surface and/or bottom surface of the substrate. An IH heating mechanism of the substrate processing device has: a heat-generating member disposed between the substrate and the spin base; a heating coil disposed below the spin base; and an IH circuit for supplying electric power to the heating coil, whereby an alternating magnetic field applied to the heat-generating member is generated, and the heat-generating member is caused to generate heat.

Abstract: A substrate treating apparatus including an unloading order changing unit. The unloading order changing unit reverses an order, in regard to unloading of substrates in a carrier from the top, between a poor inclined substrate and a substrate at least immediately above the poor inclined substrate when the poor inclined substrate is present whose inclination is determined larger than a pre-set threshold by a poor inclination determining unit. That is, the order is reversed such that the poor inclined substrate whose surface may be possibly be scratched with a hand is unloaded prior to the substrate immediately above the poor inclined substrate. Accordingly, this inhibits damages on the substrate caused by scratching a substrate surface with the hand of a substrate transport mechanism.

Abstract: A substrate container includes a casing, a rack, a lid, a lid holder, and a substrate separating mechanism. The casing has on its front face an opening. The substrate separating mechanism has a contact part that directly contacts substrates. The contact part is movable relative to the lid holder. The lid moves forward to the opening, and the contact part moves backward relative to the lid holder, whereby the lid holder holds ends of the substrates. The lid moves backward from the opening, and the contact part moves forward to the lid holder, whereby the substrate separating mechanism separates the substrates from the lid holder.

Abstract: A supply flow passage branches into a plurality of upstream flow passages. A plurality of discharge ports are respectively disposed at a plurality of positions differing in distance from a rotational axis of a substrate. A return flow passage is connected to the upstream flow passage. A downstream heater heats liquid flowing through the upstream flow passage. A downstream switching unit supplies the liquid, supplied to the plurality of upstream flow passages from the supply flow passage, to one of the plurality of discharge ports and the return flow passage, selectively.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of reducing a volume occupied exclusively by a substrate processing apparatus. In order to achieve this object, a substrate processing apparatus includes: multiple processing parts that process a substrate W; a transport robot that makes rectilinear motion along one rectilinear axis or each of more rectilinear axes and rotative motion about a vertical axis to transport a substrate to each of the processing parts; a transport chamber defined as operating space for the transport robot; and a transport controller that controls operation of the transport robot. A first partial area defined in the transport chamber has a width (specifically, a width extending along a horizontal axis perpendicular to the one rectilinear axis or the more rectilinear axes) is smaller than a rotative diameter of the transport robot. The transport controller prohibits the rotative motion of the transport robot in the first partial area.

Abstract: A substrate container including a casing, a rack, a casing holder, a casing lifting mechanism, a lid, and a lid holder. When holding of substrates with the rack shifts to holding of the substrates with the casing holder and the lid holder, the casing lifting mechanism moves the casing holder upward, whereby the casing holder moves the substrates upward. When the holding of the substrates with the casing holder and the lid holder shifts to the holding of the substrates with the rack, the casing lifting mechanism moves the casing holder downward, whereby the casing holder moves the substrates downward.
