  • Patent number: 11869778
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing a substrate includes a housing, a support unit that supports the substrate in the housing, a nozzle that dispenses a processing liquid onto the substrate, and a liquid supply unit that supplies the processing liquid to the nozzle. The liquid supply unit includes a container having a storage space in which the processing liquid is stored, a liquid supply tube through which the processing liquid flows from the container to the nozzle, and an ultrasonic-wave application member that applies ultrasonic waves to the processing liquid before the processing liquid is supplied to the nozzle. The ultrasonic-wave application member includes a liquid reservoir having an interior space in which a liquid is received and an ultrasonic generator that applies ultrasonic waves to the liquid received in the liquid reservoir. Part of the liquid supply tube is immersed in the liquid received in the liquid reservoir.

  • Patent number: 11658048
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for performing liquid treatment for a substrate are provided. The apparatus for treating the substrate includes a treating container having a treatment space inside the treating container, a substrate support unit to support a substrate in the treatment space, and a liquid supply unit to supply treatment liquid to the substrate supported by the substrate support unit. The liquid supply unit includes a nozzle, a supply line to supply the treatment liquid to the nozzle and having a first valve mounted in the supply line, and a discharge line branching from a branch point which is a point downstream of the first valve in the supply line to discharge the treatment liquid from the supply line, and having a second valve mounted in the discharge line. A valve is absent in an area between the branch point and the nozzle, in the supply line.

  • Patent number: 11232942
    Abstract: A method for treating a substrate is provided. The method includes supplying a first treating liquid to a treating target surface of the substrate while the substrate is rotating, and subsequently, supplying a second treating liquid having a surface tension lower than a surface tension of the first treating liquid to the substrate while an evaporation inhibiting agent in a vapor state is present around the first treating liquid supplied to the substrate, such that the first treating liquid on the substrate is substituted with the second treating liquid. Thus, a vapor atmosphere may be formed around a cleaning liquid applied to the substrate. Thus, a liquid-film destroying phenomenon may be prevented in a procedure in which the cleaning liquid is replaced with an organic solvent.
