Patent number: 7581335Abstract: The present invention provides a drying apparatus capable of satisfactorily drying a workpiece by using a dry vapor The drying apparatus has a control device for controlling a supply of a carrier gas and a supply of a dry vapor into a processing tank holding workpieces. A drying process carries out a carrier gas supply step of supplying the carrier gas and a mixed fluid supply step of supplying a mixed fluid prepared by mixing the carrier gas and the dry vapor alternately. A total mixed fluid supply time for which the mixed fluid supply step is executed is not shorter than 57% of a total processing time for which the carrier gas supply step and the mixed fluid supply step are executed.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2006Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Tanaka, Hidetoshi Nakao, Naoki Shindo, Atushi Yamashita, Tsukasa Hirayama, Kotaro Tsurusaki
