摘要:
A substrate drying apparatus, a substrate drying method and a storage medium are capable of sublimating a sublimable substance filled in recesses of a pattern formed on a substrate while preventing pattern collapse. A first unit includes a solution supplier which supplies a sublimable substance solution containing a sublimable substance and a solvent to a processing surface, and a first liquid remover which forms a solid film of the sublimable substance on the processing surface by removing the solvent and a processing liquid from the processing surface. A second unit includes a second liquid remover which vaporize the solvent and the processing liquid remaining in the solid film by heating the substrate, and maintaining the substrate at a temperature within a first temperature range, and a solid film remover which remove the solid film from the processing surface by heating the substrate at a temperature within a second temperature range.

A throughput in processing a substrate can be improved and a running cost thereof can be reduced. A substrate processing apparatus 1 that processes a substrate 3 with a processing liquid and dries the substrate 3 includes a substrate rotating device 22 configured to rotate the substrate 3; a processing liquid discharging unit 13 configured to discharge the processing liquid toward the substrate 3; a substitution liquid discharging unit 14 configured to discharge a substitution liquid, which is substituted with the processing liquid on the substrate 3, toward the substrate 3 while relatively moving with respect to the substrate 3; and an inert gas discharging unit 15 configured to discharge an inert gas toward a peripheral portion of the substrate 3 in an inclined direction from above the substrate 3 while moving in a direction different from a direction in which the substitution liquid discharging unit 14 is moved.

Disclosed is a method of cleaning a substrate processing apparatus in which a substrate having a surface wet by a liquid is brought into contact with a supercritical fluid so as to perform a drying process of drying the substrate. The method includes a cleaning gas filling process and an exhausting process. The cleaning gas filling process fills a cleaning gas containing isopropyl alcohol in the substrate processing apparatus. The exhausting process exhausts the cleaning gas from an inside of the substrate processing apparatus after the cleaning gas filling process.

A gas discharge hole 74 (205) configured to discharge a gas is provided at a position outside an edge of a substrate W held by a substrate holding unit 89 (204) within a processing chamber 81 (201). The gas discharged from the gas discharge hole 74 (205) forms a flow of the gas flowing in a direction along a first surface (front surface) of the substrate held by the substrate holding unit. A gas of a sublimation substance which is sublimated and a foreign substance included in the gas are flown along the flow of the gas to be removed from a vicinity of the substrate. The gas serves as a heat transfer medium for heat transfer from a heating unit 88 (203) to the substrate.
摘要:
A substrate processing apparatus performs: a pressure raising process of raising a pressure within the processing container to a processing pressure higher than a critical pressure of the processing fluid, after the substrate is accommodated in the processing container; and a circulation process of supplying the processing fluid to the processing container and discharging the processing fluid from the processing container while keeping a pressure at which the processing fluid is maintained in the supercritical state, within the processing container. In the pressure raising process, the supply of the processing fluid from the second fluid supply unit is stopped and the processing fluid is supplied from the first fluid supply unit into the processing container until at least the pressure within the processing container reaches the critical pressure. In the circulation process, the processing fluid is supplied into the processing container from the second fluid supply unit.
摘要:
A wafer is held horizontally and rotated by a substrate holding mechanism. An aqueous alkaline solution is supplied to a wafer by a nozzle and caused to flow from a central portion to a peripheral edge portion of the wafer, thereby etching the wafer. An amount of oxygen, which is equal to or more than the amount of oxygen in atmospheric air involved in the aqueous alkaline solution flowing on the wafer, is previously dissolved in the aqueous alkaline solution.

摘要:
A chemical liquid process is performed on a substrate. Then, a rinse process that supplies a rinse liquid to the substrate is performed. Thereafter, a drying process that dries the substrate is performed while rotating the substrate. The drying process includes a first drying process that rotates the substrate at a first rotational speed; a second drying process that decreases the rotational speed of the substrate to a second rotational speed lower than the first rotational speed after the first drying process. In the second drying process, the rinse liquid and a drying solution are agitated and substituted while generating braking effect. In a third drying process, the rotational speed of the substrate is increased from the second rotational speed to a third rotational speed after the second drying process. Thereafter, in a fourth drying process, the drying solution on the substrate is scattered away by rotating the substrate.
