A substrate processing apparatus is provided with a polishing part that polishes a substrate, a transporting part that transports a substrate before polishing to the polishing part, and a cleaning part that cleans the polished substrate. The cleaning part has a first cleaning unit and a second cleaning unit that are vertically arranged in two stages. The first cleaning unit and the second cleaning unit each have a plurality of cleaning modules that are arranged in series. The transporting part has a slide stage that is disposed between the first cleaning unit and the second cleaning unit, and transports a substrate before polishing along an arrangement direction of the plurality of cleaning modules.

Substrate processing apparatus

The cleaning apparatus includes multiple kinds of cleaning modules each configured to perform a cleaning processing of a substrate, a first accommodating section configured to accommodate the multiple kinds of cleaning modules therein, and a fluid supply section configured to supply a fluid to the cleaning modules accommodated in the first accommodating section through a pipe. Each of the multiple kinds of cleaning modules includes a pipe connection portion having a common connection position to be connected with the pipe.

When an original wherein a plurality of binary image areas in different density or the like coexist is printed by stencil making, tone characteristics of a tone image area are preserved and blur or extinction of a faint letter, or smear of a letter written on a dark background in a binary image area is prevented from occurring and print without incongruity due to density different is obtained. An image processing apparatus comprises first analyzing device which analyzes whether a target pixel is in a binary image area or a tone image area, second analyzing device which calculates a secondary line feature indicative value regarding density difference between a line and its background when the target pixel is composing a line in a thickness equal to or less than a certain value, judging device which judges the degree or likelihood of weather the target pixel is in a binary image area or a tone image area by a grade, based on analysis result by the first analyzing device and the secondary line feature indicative value, adopted-density conversion device which converts density of the target pixel based on the judgment result, and binary conversion device which upon necessity converts the target pixel having been density-converted into binary data.
