  • Publication number: 20240139782
    Abstract: Provided are a substrate processing device, a polishing device, and a substrate processing method. The substrate processing device includes a processing module for processing the substrate with a liquid, and a gas-liquid separation tank connected to the exhaust outlet of the processing module, which separates the liquid from the exhaust received from the processing module and releases the exhaust into an exhaust duct. The gas-liquid separation tank includes a tank body, a heat exchanger arranged inside the tank body and cools the exhaust, and an air nozzle arranged inside the tank body and supplies air to cool the exhaust.

  • Publication number: 20240082987
    Abstract: A substrate clamping apparatus includes a substrate holding part which is movable between a closed state in which a substrate is clamped and an open state in which clamping of the substrate is released, a support column part which supports the substrate holding part and is capable of being raised and lowered, and an interlocking mechanism which interlocks a raising and lowering operation of the support column part with an opening and closing operation of the substrate holding part, in which an opening and closing operation range A of the substrate holding part in an up-and-down stroke S of the support column part includes at least a part of an intermediate region M of the up-and-down stroke S.

  • Publication number: 20220395874
    Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a substrate cleaning device including: a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate; a substrate cleaning member configured to come into sliding contact with the held substrate, and clean the substrate using a first cleaning liquid supplied from a first nozzle; a self-cleaning member configured to come into sliding contact with the substrate cleaning member at a retreat position separated from the substrate holder, and performs self-cleaning on the substrate cleaning member using a second cleaning liquid supplied from a second nozzle; a measurement module configured to measure a physical property value of a waste liquid of the second cleaning liquid used for the self-cleaning of the substrate cleaning member; and a controller configured to estimate a number of fine particles adhering to the cleaned substrate based on the physical property value of the waste liquid.
