In order to improve the quality of a substrate, a substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate holding unit, a first drive unit, a chemical liquid discharge portion, a cup unit, a second drive unit, and a control unit. The substrate holding unit holds a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface in a horizontal posture. The first drive unit rotates the substrate holding unit about a virtual axis. The chemical liquid discharge portion discharges a chemical liquid toward the first surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding unit. The cup unit surrounds a periphery of the substrate holding unit. The second drive unit changes a relative position in the vertical direction of the cup unit with respect to the substrate holding unit. The control unit, while causing the first drive unit to rotate the substrate holding unit about the virtual axis and causing the chemical liquid discharge portion to discharge the chemical liquid toward the first surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding unit to execute a chemical liquid treatment of treating the first surface, causes the second drive unit to change the relative position in the vertical direction of the cup unit with respect to the substrate holding unit.

Substrate processing apparatus, substrate processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A processing condition selection method includes a step (S) and a step (S). In the step (S), a thickness pattern TM that represents a distribution of thicknesses measured at respective measurement points on a target is compared to pre-stored reference patterns (RP) to specify a reference pattern (RP) having a high correlation with the thickness pattern (TM) from among the reference patterns (RP) based on a prescriptive rule. In the step (S), a reference processing condition associated with the specified reference pattern (RP) is acquired as a processing condition for the target from among reference processing conditions associated with the respective reference patterns (RP). The reference patterns (RP) each represent a distribution of physical quantities of a corresponding one of reference targets. The reference processing conditions each are a processing condition when processing is previously performed on a corresponding one of the reference targets with a corresponding one of the reference patterns (RP).

A substrate processing method is provided, which includes: a substrate holding step of causing a substrate holding unit to hold a substrate; an ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution supplying step of supplying an ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution containing ozone dissolved therein a hydrofluoric acid solution to one major surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding unit; a brush-cleaning step of cleaning the one major surface of the substrate by bringing a cleaning brush into contact with the one major surface of the substrate after the ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution supplying step; and an ozone water supplying step of supplying ozone water to the one major surface of the substrate before start of the brush-cleaning step after the ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution supplying step or in the brush-cleaning step.

Substrate processing method and substrate processing device

A substrate processing apparatus includes a driving magnet that is disposed correspondingly to a movable pin and that has a predetermined polar direction with respect to a radial direction of a rotary table, a pressing magnet that has a magnetic pole that gives an attractive magnetic force or a repulsive magnetic force between the driving magnet and the pressing magnet and that presses a support portion against a peripheral edge of a substrate by urging the support portion toward a contact position by means of the attractive magnetic force or the repulsive magnetic force, and a pressing-force changing unit that changes a magnitude of a pressing force against the peripheral edge of the substrate pressed by the support portion while keeping the magnitude higher than zero in response to rotation of the rotary table.

Substrate processing apparatus

A substrate processing method is provided, which includes: an ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution spouting step of spouting an ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution containing ozone dissolved therein from a nozzle toward one major surface of a substrate held by a substrate holding unit; and a brush-cleaning step of cleaning the one major surface of the substrate by bringing a cleaning brush into abutment against the one major surface of the substrate, the brush-cleaning step being performed after the ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution spouting step or in parallel with the ozone-containing hydrofluoric acid solution spouting step.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a rotating holder for a substrate, a first nozzle used to eject a jet flow, a second nozzle used to discharge a continuous flow, and a nozzle moving unit integrally moving the first and second nozzles. A landing position of the continuous flow is located closer to a rotation center than a landing position of the jet flow is. At least movement paths of the landing positions of the jet flow and the continuous flow or flow directions of the continuous flow and the jet flow are different from each other. The movement paths are made to be different from each other by locating the landing position of the continuous flow downstream of the movement path of the landing position of the jet flow. The flow directions are made to be different from each other by tilting the continuous flow.

A substrate treating apparatus includes a rotating and holding unit that rotates a substrate, a first supply source that supplies first pure water having a first temperature, a second supply source that supplies second pure water having a second temperature higher than the first temperature, a treatment solution supply unit that supplies a treatment solution to a central section of an upper surface of the substrate, a first supply unit that supplies a first liquid containing the first pure water to a central section of a lower surface of the substrate, a second supply unit that supplies a second liquid containing the second pure water to a peripheral section and an intermediate section of the lower surface, and a heat amount control unit that independently controls an amount of heat to be supplied by the first supply unit and an amount of heat to be supplied by the second supply unit.
