  • Patent number: 10816141
    Abstract: A chemical solution feeder feeds a chemical solution to a predetermined feed target, and includes: a feed flow path that is connected at its one end to a supply source of a chemical solution at room temperature and at its other end to a feed target, to guide the chemical solution to the feed target from the supply source; a first filter that removes particles in a chemical solution at room temperature injected from the supply source into the feed flow path; a heating unit that heats the chemical solution having passed through the first filter; and a second filter that removes particles in the chemical solution at high temperature heated by the heating unit, flowing through the feed flow path toward the feed target, wherein the first filter is a hydrophilic filter and the second filter is a hydrophobic filter.

  • Patent number: 9230836
    Abstract: A substrate treatment method that includes circulating a treatment liquid from a treatment vessel through a circulation path extending through a filter and a temperature controller, spouting the treatment liquid toward a substrate accommodated in the treatment vessel to recover the treatment liquid in the treatment vessel, and controlling the liquid surface level of the treatment liquid retained in the treatment vessel below the substrate held at a substrate treatment position.

  • Publication number: 20130014787
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus supplies a resist stripping solution, formed by mixing sulfuric acid and a hydrogen peroxide solution, to a surface of a substrate. The substrate processing apparatus includes a nozzle that discharges the resist stripping solution toward the substrate, a hydrogen peroxide solution supply passage through which the hydrogen peroxide solution flows toward the nozzle, a plurality of sulfuric acid supply passages respectively connected to a plurality of mixing positions along the hydrogen peroxide solution supply passage that differ in flow passage length to the nozzle, and a sulfuric acid supply passage selecting unit that introduces the sulfuric acid from a sulfuric acid supply source to a sulfuric acid supply passage selected from among the plurality of sulfuric acid supply passages.

  • Publication number: 20120240958
    Abstract: A substrate treatment apparatus includes a treatment vessel in which a substrate is accommodated, a treatment liquid supply unit, a chamber enclosing the treatment vessel, a substrate holding unit, a circulation unit and a control unit. The circulation unit circulates the treatment liquid from the treatment vessel through a circulation path extending through a filter and a temperature controller and spouts the treatment liquid toward the substrate accommodated in the treatment vessel to recover the treatment liquid in the treatment vessel. The control unit controls the liquid surface level of the treatment liquid retained in the treatment vessel below the substrate held at a substrate treatment position.
