    摘要: It is an object of the present invention to reduce the amount of data used in an apparatus, a system, and a method for performing a substrate processing. In order to achieve this object, a substrate processing apparatus includes one or more processing units each for performing a processing on a substrate and one or more arithmetic processing parts. One or more arithmetic processing parts generate a flow recipe defining a flow of a series of processings for a substrate by combining two or more processing recipes among a plurality of processing recipes each defining a processing condition relating to a processing to be performed on a substrate in the one or more processing units. The plurality of processing recipes include a plurality of liquid processing recipes each defining a condition of a processing to be performed on a substrate by using a processing liquid.

    摘要: A discharge port 31 is arranged inside a chamber 9. A circulation flow passage 50 circulates a processing liquid, while maintaining the processing liquid at a predetermined temperature. A discharge flow passage 32 is branched from a circulation flow passage 50 to guide the processing liquid to the discharge port 31. A return flow passage 33 is connected to the discharge flow passage 32 inside the chamber 9 and allows the processing liquid running through the discharge flowpassage 32 to flow back to the circulation flow passage 50.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a chamber, a substrate holding unit, an elevated/lowered member, and an elevation/lowering driving unit. The chamber includes a base plate having an upper surface that defines a housing space. The substrate holding unit is housed in the housing space, is placed on the upper surface of the base plate, and holds a substrate. The elevated/lowered member is elevated and lowered inside the housing space. The elevation/lowering driving unit drives the elevation and lowering of the elevated/lowered member. The elevation/lowering driving unit includes a driving source, disposed higher than a lower surface of the base plate, and an elevating/lowering head, which is connected to a guard and is moved vertically by the driving source within a movable range in which an entirety of the head is positioned higher than the lower surface of the base plate.

    摘要: In a substrate processing apparatus in which a substrate is transported into multiple chambers by using multiple transport mechanisms, while a first transport unit is responsible for the transport of the substrate into the first chamber and the transport of the substrate out from the second chamber, the second transport unit is responsible for the transfer of the substrate from the first chamber to the second chamber. With respect to a transfer zone which is a transport route of the substrate from the first chamber to the second chamber, the first transport unit is arranged above and the second transport unit is arranged below. Since entry into the transfer zone is exclusively allowed, the two transport units can operate individually while avoiding mutual interference.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate rotating mechanism for rotating a substrate, a nozzle part for discharging droplets of a processing liquid toward a main surface of the substrate, and a nozzle moving mechanism for moving the nozzle part in a direction along the main surface. The nozzle part includes two guide surfaces (511), two gas ejection ports (512), and two processing liquid supply ports (513). The gas ejection port ejects gas along the guide surface, to thereby form a gas flow flowing along the guide surface. The processing liquid supply port is provided in the guide surface, for supplying the processing liquid to between the gas flow and the guide surface. In the nozzle part, assuming that one of the two gas ejection ports is regarded as a first gas ejection port for forming a gas flow which carries the processing liquid as a thin film flow to a lower end edge (516) of the guide surface, the other is a second gas ejection port for forming a gas flow which collides with the processing liquid spattering from the lower end edge. With this configuration, it is possible to discharge a lot of droplets having a uniform particle diameter and thereby appropriately process a substrate.

    摘要: A substrate container includes a housing, rack members, housing-side support members for supporting ends of substrates, a moving mechanism for moving the substrates, a lid, and lid-side support members for supporting ends of the substrates. The housing-side support members have deepest portions for supporting the ends of the substrates to be immovable upward. In a state where the lid is attached to the housing, the housing-side support members and lid-side support members clamp the ends of the substrates in between, with lower surfaces of the substrates out of contact with the rack members, and the housing-side support members support the ends of the substrates in the deepest portions. When the lid detaches from the housing, the moving mechanism moves the substrates supported in the deepest portions to disengage the ends of the substrates from the deepest portions, and places the substrates in a substantially horizontal position on the rack members.

    摘要: In a chamber, first processing is performed as preliminary processing. After the first processing has been finished, the temperature in a predetermined target region in the chamber is measured with a thermographic camera. Then, whether or not to start second processing on a substrate is determined in accordance with the acquired measured temperature information. If it is determined as a result that the second processing can be started, the second processing is performed. In this case, the second processing on the substrate can be started, with the temperature of the target region in the chamber having reached its stability. Accordingly, the second processing can be performed uniformly on a plurality of substrates. That is, it is possible to reduce variations in processing caused by temperature environments in the chamber.

    摘要: A first processing module includes a first specified processing unit and a first delivery part. A substrate supply part is on a first direction side of the first processing module. A transfer module is on a second direction side on the opposite of the first processing module from the first direction. The transfer module includes a frame, a first floor, a second floor, and a gateway. The frame defines a placement space in which a first transfer apparatus of the transfer module is placed. A first transfer apparatus is installed on the first floor. The second floor is on a third direction side, which is a horizontal direction orthogonal to the first direction, with respect to the first floor inside the placement space. The gateway is provided on the third direction side with respect to the second floor and communicates the placement space to the outside of the frame.
