  • Patent number: 11569104
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a temperature detector and a controller. The temperature detector detects a temperature of processing liquid before the temperature of the processing liquid in pre-dispensing in progress reaches a target temperature. The controller sets discharge stop duration of the processing liquid in the pre-dispensing based on target temperature prediction duration. The target temperature prediction duration is prediction duration until the temperature of the processing liquid reaches the target temperature from a detection temperature. The detection temperature is the temperature of the processing liquid detected by the temperature detector before the temperature of the processing liquid reaches the target temperature. The target temperature prediction duration is determined based on a temperature profile.

  • Patent number: 9793176
    Abstract: The temperature of a chemical liquid supplied to a pot is detected while allowing a processing liquid discharge port to discharge the chemical liquid toward the pot at a pre-dispensing position. The temperature of the chemical liquid rises in response to the lapse of time. When the temperature of the chemical liquid supplied to the pot reaches a second target temperature, the processing liquid discharge port is allowed to stop the discharge of the chemical liquid. Thereafter, a positional relationship between the processing liquid discharge port and the pot is changed, and the processing liquid discharge port is allowed to discharge the chemical liquid toward the substrate at the processing position.
