    摘要: A substrate processing method includes a processing liquid film forming step of supplying a processing liquid, containing a sublimable substance, to a pattern forming surface of a substrate, to form a processing liquid film on the pattern forming surface, a temperature maintaining step of maintaining a temperature of the processing liquid film, formed on the pattern forming surface, in a temperature range not lower than a melting point of the sublimable substance and lower than a boiling point of the sublimable substance, a film thinning step of thinning the processing liquid film while the temperature of the processing liquid film is in the temperature range, a freezing step of making the processing liquid film, thinned by the film thinning step, freeze on the pattern forming surface after the temperature maintaining step to form a frozen body of the sublimable substance, and a sublimating step of sublimating the frozen body to remove the frozen body from the pattern forming surface.

    摘要: The inventive substrate treatment method includes: an organic solvent supplying step of supplying an organic solvent having a smaller surface tension than a rinse liquid to the upper surface of a substrate so that rinse liquid adhering to the upper surface of the substrate is replaced with the organic solvent; a higher temperature maintaining step of maintaining the upper surface of the substrate at a predetermined temperature higher than the boiling point of the organic solvent to thereby form a gas film of the organic solvent on the entire upper surface of the substrate including the gap of the minute pattern and to form a liquid film of the organic solvent on the gas film, the higher temperature maintaining step being performed after the organic solvent supplying step is started; and an organic solvent removing step of removing the organic solvent liquid film from the upper surface of the substrate.

    摘要: In substrate processing, by supplying a first processing liquid onto an upper surface 91 of a substrate 9 held in a horizontal state, a liquid film 81 of the first processing liquid which entirely covers the upper surface 91 is formed. Further, by heating the substrate 9, a vapor layer 82 of the first processing liquid is formed between the upper surface 91 and the liquid film 81 of the first processing liquid on the upper surface 91. Then, by supplying a second processing liquid onto the upper surface 91 of the substrate 9, the liquid film 81 of the first processing liquid is removed from the upper surface 91. It is thereby possible to appropriately remove extraneous matters 89 from the upper surface 91 of the substrate 9, which are taken in the liquid film 81 of the first processing liquid as the vapor layer 82 is formed.

    摘要: A processing liquid is supplied to an upper surface of a horizontally-held substrate to form a liquid film of the processing liquid that covers an entirety of the substrate upper surface. The substrate is heated to evaporate the processing liquid in contact with the upper surface of the substrate to form a gas phase layer between the upper surface of the substrate and the liquid film of the processing liquid. After the gas phase layer has been formed, a gas is blown onto the liquid film above the substrate to open a hole in the liquid film. The gas is blown onto a region inside the hole in the liquid film to move the liquid film on the gas phase layer. A direction of a gas stream at a substrate outer peripheral portion is changed to remove the liquid film at the substrate outer peripheral portion.

    摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate heating unit arranged to heat the underside of a substrate while supporting the substrate thereon and an attitude changing unit arranged to cause the substrate heating unit to undergo an attitude change between a horizontal attitude and a tilted attitude. In an organic solvent removing step to be performed following a substrate heating step of heating the substrate, the substrate heating unit undergoes an attitude change to the tilted attitude so that the upper surface of the substrate becomes tilted with respect to the horizontal surface.
