摘要: According to the present invention, a substrate W is provided with a recess 95. The width of the recess 95 is smaller than the depth of the recess 95. An etching target which is at least one of a single crystal of silicon, a polysilicon and an amorphous silicon is exposed in at least a part of the upper part of a lateral surface 95s and in at least a part of the lower part of the lateral surface 95s. The etching target is etched by supplying an alkaline first etching liquid, in which an inert gas is dissolved, to the substrate W. The etching target is etched by supplying an alkaline second etching liquid, in which a dissolution gas is dissolved, and which has a dissolved oxygen concentration higher than that of the first etching liquid, to the substrate W before or after the first etching liquid is supplied to the substrate W.

摘要: An alkaline etchant containing a quaternary ammonium hydroxide, water, and an inhibitory substance for inhibiting contact between hydroxide ions generated from the quaternary ammonium hydroxide and objects P1 to P3 to be etched is prepared. The prepared etchant is supplied to a substrate in which the polysilicon-containing objects P1 to P3 to be etched and objects O1 to O3 not to be etched, which are different from the objects P1 to P3 to be etched, are exposed, thereby etching the objects P1 to P3 to be etched while preventing the objects O1 to O3 not to be etched from being etched.

摘要: One of a setting dissolved oxygen concentration and a setting atmosphere oxygen concentration is determined based on a required etching amount. Thereafter, based on the required etching amount and the one of the determined setting dissolved oxygen concentration and setting atmosphere oxygen concentration, the other of the setting dissolved oxygen concentration and the setting atmosphere oxygen concentration is determined. A low oxygen gas whose oxygen concentration is equal or approached to the determined setting atmosphere oxygen concentration flows into a chamber that houses a substrate. Furthermore, an etching liquid whose dissolved oxygen is reduced such that its dissolved oxygen concentration is equal or approached to the determined setting dissolved oxygen concentration is supplied to the entire region of the upper surface of the substrate held horizontally.

摘要: Processing liquid is stored by a supply tank. The dissolved oxygen concentration of the processing liquid is measured. The dissolved oxygen concentration of the processing liquid in the supply tank is adjusted by supplying concentration adjusting gas having a concentration of inert gas higher than that of air into the supply tank in accordance with the dissolved oxygen concentration of the processing liquid measured. The processing liquid in the supply tank is supplied to a substrate. The processing liquid that has been supplied to the substrate is collected to the supply tank. Unnecessary gas that is a gas other than the concentration adjusting gas and dissolved in the processing liquid during the processing of the substrate is decreased from the processing liquid before the processing liquid is collected to the supply tank.

摘要: A chemical liquid preparation method of preparing a chemical liquid for treating a film formed on a substrate, including a gas dissolving process in which an oxygen-containing gas and an inert-gas-containing gas are dissolved in the chemical liquid by supplying the oxygen-containing gas which contains oxygen gas and the inert-gas-containing gas which contains an inert gas to a chemical liquid, wherein in the gas dissolving process, a dissolved oxygen concentration in the chemical liquid is adjusted by setting a mixing ratio between the oxygen-containing gas and the inert-gas-containing gas supplied to the chemical liquid as a mixing ratio corresponding to a predetermined target dissolved oxygen concentration.

摘要: In the present invention, an alkaline first etching liquid is fed to a substrate, whereby an etching target representing a silicon monocrystal and/or polysilicon is etched. An alkaline second etching liquid is fed to the substrate after or before the first etching liquid is fed to the substrate, whereby the etching target is etched, the second etching liquid containing a compound that inhibits contact between hydroxide ions and the etching target, the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the etching speed with respect to the (110) face, the (100) face, and the (111) face of silicon being smaller in the second etching liquid than in the first etching liquid, and the maximum value of the etching speed being smaller in the second etching liquid than in the first etching liquid.

摘要: A substrate processing apparatus includes a spin chuck that holds a substrate, and a fluid nozzle disposed to face a principal surface of the substrate which is held by the spin chuck. The fluid nozzle includes a gas discharge port from which a gas is discharged radially from the center side of the principal surface of the substrate to the peripheral edge side, and a gas flow passage through which the gas is supplied to the gas discharge port, the gas flow passage having a tubular shape along an intersecting direction with respect to the principal surface of the substrate. The gas flow passage has a gas retaining portion whose flow passage cross-sectional area is larger than other portions of the gas flow passage, and a rectifying structure provided in a portion of the gas flow passage different from the gas retaining portion, the rectifying structure that rectifies a flow of the gas in the gas flow passage.
