Abstract:
A substrate processing chamber includes a housing providing a process space; a spin apparatus provided in the housing; and a fluid spraying nozzle configured to spray fluid into the process space, wherein the spin apparatus includes: a spin chuck configured to support a substrate; a rotation driving part configured to rotate the spin chuck; and a weight sensor configured to measure a weight of the substrate supported on the spin chuck.
Abstract:
A substrate treatment apparatus includes a seal on at least one of upper or lower chambers of a process chamber. The seal hermetically closes the substrate treatment region, and may be at a location to prevent a gap from forming between the upper and lower chambers. The lower chamber includes an inner wall and an outer wall defining a groove including the seal. The inner wall has a top surface lower than that of the outer wall. The seal has an atypical cross-sectional shape with a recess facing the substrate treatment region.
Abstract:
A supercritical fluid processing apparatus including a supercritical fluid supply module including a gas liquefier to liquefy a gas transferred from a gas supply and provide a liquefied fluid, a storage tank to change the liquefied fluid to a supercritical state and store a supercritical fluid, and an internal pipe connecting the gas liquefier to the storage tank; an exhaust fluid supply module including an exhaust fluid liquefier including a regeneration storage tank to collect a first exhaust fluid from the storage tank, and a refrigerant pipe to liquefy the first exhaust fluid in the regeneration storage tank and maintain the liquefied first exhaust fluid at a predetermined temperature/pressure; a first exhaust pipe to transfer the first exhaust fluid from the storage tank to the exhaust fluid liquefier; and a resupply pipe to resupply the first exhaust fluid collected and liquefied in the exhaust fluid liquefier to the storage tank.
Abstract:
A method of purifying a cleaning agent is provided. The method includes heating a first mixed solution including an etching agent, a first cleaning agent, and a second cleaning agent at or below a first temperature and distilling the etching agent and the first cleaning agent and removing the second cleaning agent. The method includes condensing or compressing the etching agent and the first cleaning agent forming a second mixed solution including the etching agent and the first cleaning agent. The method includes heating the second mixed solution at a temperature lower than a second temperature, redistilling the etching agent and extracting the first cleaning agent. The second temperature is lower than the first temperature.
Abstract:
A substrate treating apparatus including a support member configured to support a substrate container configured to surround an upper portion of the support member, a nozzle member including at least one nozzle, which is configured to spray a treating solution onto the substrate disposed on the support member, and a treating solution supply unit connected to the nozzle and configured to supply the treating solution to the nozzle through a main tube may be provided.
Abstract:
A substrate treating apparatus includes a fluid supply unit to supply a fluid to a chamber. The substrate is dried in the chamber using the fluid in a supercritical state. The fluid supply unit includes a storing tank to store the fluid and a conversion tank connected to the storing tank through a connection tube and to the chamber through a supply tube. The conversion tank includes a heater to heat the fluid.
